I'm surprised, that's all. why, dear,
I never thought you'd be willing, and
it will be such fun
When shall we have it-around the
holiday time?"
II think that would be wise"
Well, are you going to send out
Invitations or what?"
Helen could not believe her ears.
What do you think, dear? I think
we ought to have 1t informal it will
be more fun that way, Oh, there's the
bell. VIII you answer it? Nora has
gone out"
A moment later Warren had ad-
mitted the Stevenses. Helen took Mrs.
things. Her mind was on the subject
of the dance, however and she looked
rather abstracted. Mrs. Stevens, fluff
fling up her hair at the glass, looked
at her smilingly.
Whats the matter? Got some
thing on your mind?"
Helen laughed. She wondered IL
it to Mrs. Stevens. She decided to
wait, and laughed off the remark.
Il have lot on my mind" she ex-
planned as they went out into the liv-
ing room. "Winifred is going to pose
in those tableaux this week, and that
has to be thought of. Did you know
that little Joan Richards is going to
pose as the Blue Boy?"
II had heard she was. Mrs. Dalton
was saying something about il. BY
the way, are you coming out to the
dancing class tomorrow night? How
do you like the fox trot?"
Warren Grins at
the Mere Suggestion.
Helen looked at Warren across the
table and smiled. Warren was grim
ming broadly.
Now, what does this mean? You
two have something between you.
Let us in on it," said Mr.. Stevens
Il told Helen I thought she had
something on her mind" said Mrs.
Stevens, proud of her guess.
There is no secret about it, said
Warren finally, as he shuffled the
cards. Helen and I are thinking of
giving an informal dance around the
holidays. What do you think about
| it?"
Bully" said Mr.. Stevens.
Just wonderful" said Mrs Stevens,
properly enthusiastic. MY dear, 1
never heard of anything so nice.
Whatever made you think of it 2"
well, we wanted to do something,
time. 1t will be fun, don't you
think?"
"Fun-I should say so; do have a
dance"
we will" explained Warren
"Helen thought that would be fun.
! Wen have to brush up a little before
then, eh, Stevens?'
You'll be the first people in our
crowd to give a dance" said Mrs.
Stevens; everybody will be crazy
about it,"
Eyes, I'm so excited about it I don't
see how I'm going to keep my mind
on bridge game" said Mrs. Stevens
| "Oh, here's a little proposal, Ste
vens, to help you keep your mind on
the game" said Warren promptly. Il
meant to mention it the last time we
played, but it slipped my mind. How
about the losers standing for din
ner and the theater some time within
the next six weeks?"
I'm game, old man." agreed Mr.
Stevens.
Wen have to put a time limit or
| it; let's say Christmas Eve"
! "Oh, no, Warren, not Christmas
Eve. Remember Winifred is here
and she will want to hang up heI
stocking. We must be home that
night, dear"
"Of course you must" said Mrs
Stevens, lets say the day after Christ
mas"
"The day after Christmas it is
pie will have to play up some If you
want to win that bet. Mrs. Stevens
and / are way ahead
Helen smiled encoura gingly across
the table. Never mind, we're the
best dancers" she announced proudly
Not while I'm around" put in
Warren; IBID on your hand"
