Come down about two. can you, L
want you to see the apartment. and
everything has been delivered but the
kitchen paraphernalia." Louise salo
the last few words as though they
amounted to very little, ana heleli
could not help smiling involuntar1ly TO
herself as she hung UP the receiver
after a hasty acquiescence.
For the last week Louise and BOD
had been busy getting ready 10 move
into an apartment of their own, ana
although Louise had called Helen up
xsN~sS day about some trivial detail as
vet Helen had not seen the wonderful
apartment nor any of the furnishings.
Warren, as usual, had made some
scathing remarks about Bobs changed
manner No matter how hard Helen
tried to make him see that Louise had
done more good for Bob in the little
while that they had been married than
she would have believed possible, War
rem was sure to remark that Bob let
Louise run all over him.
Like to see anyone boss me around
the way she does Bob" had been the
beginning of a conversation couple
of nights back.
but, Warren, she doesn't boss Bob,
she simply doesn't give in to him"
Helen had demonstrated. Il 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 convinced me or
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 a mollycoddle for her. does
it? I'm surprised at him, have 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 hap
py did not extend to lover-like cour-
tesies 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 Warren though a half-heated
peck on the cheek was all that was
necessary.
Helen hurried through her lunch
and dressing, and at a 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 Helen's home.
The entrance was similar to any of
the modern apartment houses, and a
few minutes later Helen was stepping
out of the elevator at the NTH floor.
ITO the left, madam" said the ele-
Vator 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 6ptered Helen saw q
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 1t all to rights? l can see every
thing in its place now; and oh, Helen!
l 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! I don't care
If 1t isn't practical, l wanted it, and
Bob said I should have it. Isn't he
a dear?"
The white set consisted of twin beds
of cream enamel set in with wicker,
a dressing table. a chiffonier, a table
and three chairs, a rocker and two
straight ones.
II am going to have the boudoir
lamp that you gave me on the dresser,
dear; it will look so much prettier on
the white than it would have on the
darker wood"
II do like it, Louise" said Helen,
her eyes shining. 81 think you were
so wise to get it if you really wanted
it. That's what l 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 glod you
approve. You see, l 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!"
