Warren had been strolling around
the lobby of the Alpine Hotel for
nearly ten minutes and still there
were no signs of Helen.
II never knew a woman to keep an
appointment yet" he growled, saw
agely, as he pulled out his watch for
the third time in exactly three min
utes. And then Helen hurried in and
looked hastily around the room.
Dear, I'm sorry to be late" she
apologized, as Warren glared at her,
but Mrs. Stevens came in just before
/ left, and do you know, she and Mr..
Stevens have quarreled!"
Huh" said Warren, skeptically, as
they stepped out on Broadway, don't
see how they managed to get along as
far as they have without some kind
of a fracas She never did know how
to handle Stevens. Now, have you any
idea of where you want to go for your
suit? I'm not going to walk up and
down Broadway all afternoon with
out some idea in mind"
"Oh, yes, dear, we'll go right to
Ardman's first, aud then If we don't
see anything there, We can go some
where else afterward.'
well, this isn't shopping tour,
you know" grumbled Warren. II said
] didn't promise to- raid every store in
New York"
Helen wisely kept still. She knew
that Warren was right, for shopping
for bargains was besetting sin with
her, and there was no need of starting
an argument before they had looked
at anything.
Where are the suits?" said Warren
as they entered the elevator. Ladies'
SUITS" added Helen timidly.
In the Suit Department
Third" said the elevator boy as
the door changed. and moment later
they were walking through the suit
department.
Something in suits, madam" ?" And
a tall, blonde saleswoman walked up
to them, modishly attired in black
charmeuse. For yourself? Right
this way. Had you anything particu-
lar in mind?"
"Why, no, I hadn't decided on any
thing, but 1 thought II like to try
something in gray"
Now" put in Warren you know
gray has never been becoming to you;
you haven't color enough to wear it,
Why not stick to blue? / always said
you looked better in that than in any
thing else you ever tried to wear"
"Oh! but dear, l had a blue suit
just last Spring. and just bought that
blue dress when Louise was married
I don't want too many blue things,
and gray is so lovely for travelling"
"Well, have your own way / don't
see what you brought me with you
for anyway"
Helen sighed, and then the sales
woman came back with several suits
flung over her arm
How would you like something
like this?" holding up pale gray
model with peach-colored lining.
The skirt was elaborately draped, and
if Helen had been going to buy suit
for afternoon teas alone it would have
been charming.
Warren said nothing as Helen stole
a glance at him. "Oh, nothing so
elaborate. I want something that I
can use for travelling purposes. That
light color would soil very easily"
would you care for anything in
this new shade of tango, madam? We
are selling a great deal of it this sea-
son. Slip on the coat and see If you
like the color"
Helen slipped her arms into the
coat obedienty. The color was lovely,
but still hardly practicable for what
she wanted.
would you care for a suit of this
color, Warren, or do you think I'd be
foolish to get anything so extreme?"
'"The skirt is beautiful" went on
the saleswoman; 'it has one of the
new Russian tunics. Would you like
to slip it on?"
What do you think, Warren" said
Helen again, cycling the skirt doubt
fully.
"Well, if you're asking me, don't
care for the color and / don't like
the way it's made. Reminds me of
the suit Nora got this Spring."
- "0h, but, dear, this is an expensive
model. Nora's suit isn't anything
like this You just think so on ac-
count of the color"
well, you asked me, didn't you?
Now get what you like and leave me
out of 1t if you object to a little hon
est criticism"
Here is something very different"
sad the saleswoman, holding up the
coat of a dark blue suit. "Perhaps
your husband would like something
more quiet" and she deftly slipped
off the ango-colored coat and substi-
tuted the blue.
There, that's something like it,"
said Warren approvingly, 81 told you
that blue was your color. Why insist
