M, -, I oI5ise said the last few words
80 +bo1ob they amounted to very lit
lie and Helen could not heIp smlllng
iuvoluntarily to herself, as sne hung
m the receiver after nasty acqui-
49, the last week Louise and Bob
ba5 beeb busy getting ready to move
INTO an apartment of their own, and
aitboHeb Louise had called Helen up
eIJarv dav about some trivial detail,
" ,.ya+ Helen had not seen the won
5srfnl apartment nor any Of the fur
Warren. as usual, had made some
ecarhing remarks about BoDS changed
manner. No matter now mar. 4atu Heien
tried TO make him see that Louise
had done more good for Bob in the
ii4fIa wbile that they had been mar
ried than she would have believed
Dossible. Warren was sure to remark
that Rob let Louise run all over him.
"TjI<e TO see anyone boss me around
the wav she does Bob had been the
beginning of a conversation couple
of nights Ssck.
she simply doesn't give in to him"
Helen had demonstrated thought
YOU liked Louise"
81 do like her but just the same
she has faults. 1 always said she was
one of the domineering kind. The
way she treated Bob that time con-
WINGED me Of that"
bob got just what he deserved"
said Helen warmly. IF Louise had
given in Bob would never have thought
the same of her, never"
THAT doesn't say that he had to
turn into mOllycOddle for her, does
ito I'm surprised at him, have a good
mind to tell him so, too"
AT least they are happy Warren,
you must admit that"
'.Humph, if you call all that soft
stuff being happy yes. About time
they got over that, don't you think %
Difference Between Warren and Bob.
Helen did not think but she said
nothing. Warren's idea of being happy
did not extend to lover like courtesies
after the honeymoon. He called such
things foolish and unnecessary. Louise
still gave her lips to Bob with a whole
hearted fervOr in her kiss, while War
rem thought a half hearted peck on
the cheek was all that was necessary.
Helen hurried through her lunch
and dressing, and at little after two
was entering the apartment house that
Louise had mentioned. 1t was only a
little distance from the place where
they had boarded and within walking
distance Of Helens home. The en-
trance was similar to any of the mod
ern apartment houses, and few min
utes later Helen was stepping out of
the elevator at the fifth floor.
ITO the left, madam said the eleva-
tor boy; but the door was open, and
Helen could hear voices within. A
ring of the bell brought Louise to the
door, and as she entered Helen saw
woman busy cleaning in the front.
"Of course it looks awful just now"
said Louise, apOlOgetically, but can't
you imagine how it will look after
we get it all to rights? I can see
everything in its place now: and oh,
HeIenl do love my things"
The door opened into a little foyer
hall, with the living room opening
on the left. The woman was busy in
there, and Louise drew Helen into the
hall which extended from the foyer
on the left.
Here is the bathroom" she said
enthusiastically, "and here is my room.
Helen, we did get the white enamel
set, after all! 1 don't care-if it isn't
practical, 1 wanted it, and Bob said
should have it. Isn't he dear2"
The white set consisted of twin beds
Of cream enamel set in with wicker,
a dressing table, chiffOnier, a table
and three chairs, rocker and two
straight ones.
'I am going to have the. boudoir
lamp that you gave me on the dress
er, dear: it viii look so much pref
tier on the white than it would have
on the darker wood"
Il do like it, Louise" said Helen,
her eyes shining. 4 think you were
so wise to get it if you really wanted
It That's what / think is the best
thing about you; you have the cour-
age of your convictions and can be
happy that way"
Louise laughed I'm so glad you
approve. You see, I shall have my
dresser in that alcove by the window
and BOb's chiffOnier here and the beds
there, with the table between them
And, Helen, do tell me how you like
the paper?'
The paper lacked the conventional
cut out rose design that most of the
apartment houses think so appropriate
lot bedrooms. It was a very pale
shade of rose all over, running up to
a high mOlding of white enamel. and
the white of the border running on up
into the ceiling.
Isn't it different?' said Louise to
Helen's look of surprise. II told Bob
once how / hated to have things like
everyone else's, and he had this one done
without my knowing it by an interior
though, we weren't so extravagant
about the othersr
Dining Room Decorated in Blue.
Dld you have your dining room
done in hlue% said Helen, as she fol-
lowed Louise out into the hall and on
into the next room. Il see you did
and your mahogany is beautiful"
The rug is Oriental" said Louise
was hasty glance into the kitchen
I'd ask you to come out here but it
LOOKS a sight; the rugs are rolled up
IN the corner over there"
L don't mind, I'll pick nv wav over
