I'm afraid you'll have TO go back, "
declared Helen. as she unwrapped the
glue and sandpaper Maggie had just
brought. 81 find I'll need some putty
too"
PUTTY" sullenly repeated Maggie,
who always resented being sent out
for things.
Yes. you see these places" Helen
stopped over the desk from which she
had just torn the worn. ink-stained
green felt They've been filled with
putty once" digging the kitchen knife
into what were evidently some old
screw holes. I'll have to fill them
again and make an even surface before
/ can put the new felt on"
Don't know where I'd get any putty
around here" protested Maggie.
why they keep II at any paint store
there's one just below the grocer 5.
Five cents wOrthll do"
When Maggie had gone, Helen be
gan 2 Wig Orous sandpapering OF the
patches Of old glue and green fuzz
which shs had not been able TO scrape
OF with knife.
The desk had belonged to Warren's
grar,Sirnother-a fine old bureau"
desk. in which the large top drawer
pulls out and lets down, disclosing
tiny drawers and pigeon holes and the
green felt-cOvered writing space.
Several times lately Warren had re-
marked that the felt was getting
shabby and should be renewed, and
last night ne had told her peremp-
torily TO have IL done.
Doing the Work Herself.
Get that cabinet-maker who did
over the sofa. And have him fix that
chiffouier drawer while he's about it.
Can't open il without knocking every
thing off. One OF those sideboard
drawers sticks too"
But the cabinet-maker informed
Helen ne would have TO take the desk
20 his shop. and he could not tell just
how much IL would be
Helen, who always wanted TO know
exactly what a thing would cost be-
fore she had IL done, resented this, and
ended by buying some new felt, which
she was now trying TO put on herself.
When Maggie came back with the
putty Helen unwrapped the newspaper
through which the oil had already
soaked, and with eager interest felt
the soft. clay-like mass. AS a child
she had always loved TO play with
putty. and she was soon filling the
screw holes and smoothing them over
with an almost childish pleasure.
The green felt she had already cut
the exact size, and now she spread the
scraped desk surface with glue and
carefully fitted il on.
When st length she stood back TO

personal. they took in every detail Of
/ her dishevelled hair. soiled wrapper
and apron. and hands begrimed with
paint and putty. Even her flushed
cheek Haunted a smudge OF mahog-
/ any stain where, with her hand, she
! had pushed back her hair.
She could have excused herself and
gone 20 dress, but with a sort of fierce
/ defiance she disdained 10 do this In
stead. with an assumed bravadO she
| showed them what she had been doing.
How very interesting, How ex-
tremely clever!" commented Mrs. and
Miss Clemens but the tone OF their
voices implied. How very curious,
How very peculiar"
Their Sarcasm.
I'm sure YOU are most clever" re-
peated Mrs Clemens. 81 was never a
bit good at this sort OF thing. but Clar-
issa does beautiful work in burnt
leather. A class OF her friends go to
a studio once "A week"
Yes. mother: but we never do any
thing really practical like Mrs Curtis
And IL must be such fascinating work"
Neither the emphasis on practical
nor the sarcasm beneath this speech
escaped Helen.
Yes. and it's very economical" she
added defiantly. for she knew they
only because she was too penuriOus to
hire them done. They charge so
much for these odd jobs-it seems
shame 10 pay IL when I really love to
do them myself"
you are quite right" gushed Mrs
Clemens and I'm sure Mr.. Curtis
must appreciate your cleverness.'
Helen could hardly control a hys-
terical laugh as she thought how War

it. always trying 10 do things you've
no business to do. But she answer
ed demurely:
oh yes. think most men appre-
ciate any mOney-saving ability. Don't
you"
Now that she had started. Helen had
a perVerse desire TO make as bad an
impression as possible. she took a
sort OF wicked pleasure in gloating
over their shocked sensibilities. How
they would talk about her after they
left"
Helen's HumOr.
well. we really must be going"
purred Mrs. Clemens finally. We've
an engagement for tea at the Aston
Ritz. But I'm so glad we saw you,
Mrs Curtis. It's really refreshing to
meet any one with such original ideas"
They trailed out. leaving an odor of
French perfume to mingle with that
of paint and putty. When the door
closed after them, Helen ran straight
| TO mirror and gazed at her dishev-
elled self She hardly knew whether
TO laugh or cry. but for once her sense
of humor prevailed.
Her laughter awoke Pussy Purr-
New, who had been doing on a chair
Helen caught up the kitten and shook
ii roughly IL was good TO have some
thing on which to vent her emotion.
Pm glad we shocked them!" with
another fierce little shake. Such in
sincere, superficial, stuck-up people
deserve to be shocked"
The kitten blinked assentingly
Wonder what they're saying about
us now? But we don't care do We?
Such narrow, stupid peOple-we don't
care a." The desire to use one OF
Warren's most expressive epithets was
strong, but Helen suppressed it and
added tamely. 1--WE don't care a fig
