Married Life
Fourth Year

HELEN SAT ALONE In corner Of
the ball room Of the Pine Bluffs Coun.
try club. Much to her displeasure
Warren had insisted upon going 70
one Of the regular Friday night In
formal dances, and Helen had given
IN as she always did to avoid 4
quarrel. The invitation to attend had
come from some one who had known
Carrie, and Helen had felt somehow
that she would rather not accept hos
pitality from some one who had nc
interest at all in her but who had
probably extended the invitation from
. sense of duty.
Warren came back after few min.
utes and sat down by Helen's side.

do till they come. I suppose: then
welll probably be introduced to some
body worth while"
"They probably won't even remem.

Several Women Come In.
Two or three women trailed into
the room at that moment and looked
complacently at the decorations. They
stood near Helen and she remembered
having seen two of them on the beach.
One lived in a cottage near the hotel
a beautiful place; the other had a
charming bungalow near the club
house. Both were dressed simply.
Helen wondered II her gown was too
elaborate for the occasion. and she
turned in her chair to look at the
groups on the veTanda.
Most of the young people were
dressed plainly, but there were elab-
crate gowns on the older women. Peo-
pie were arriving constantly. Every
one seemed to own a machine, and

Helen was silent The dancing had
begun and she watched the whirling
couples few minutes without speak
ing. She and Warren had taken Z
few dancing lessons ct the end OF the
winter, but even now the steps were
entirely different from any they had
known. She hoped that Warren would
not ask her to dance. She felt so

"Weu, suppose he does; that would
