ishing dinner. There are some really
good shows in town now and II is
pretty cool evening"
"I think it would be fine. dear.
That sounds awfully good?"
III go and look one up in the
paper and phone down while YOU are
dressing. We ought not to have any
trouble getting seats just now; what
do you Think"
II shouldn't think so. Let's go to
see something real good. | mean
real play. not a musical comedy And
Helen, without waiting for an answer,
went into her room and switched the
lights on over her dresser. She felt
singularly happy tonight for some
reason or other, and she hummed
gay little tune as she slipped out of
her dress and into a kimono. She
tied her hair up swiftly with deft
fingers and then stopped n minute to
decide whether to wear a suit or one
Of her pretty dresses.
Warren" she called finally, shall
l wear a suit or is II too warm?"
Anything" from the living room.
Say, how would you like 10 see that
new thriller. Up Against It?" That
ought to be gloomy enough for any
one!"
IF you're sure you'll enjoy that
kind of a play, dear. l want you to
be satisfied
No answer but rustling of the
paper, and Helen went to the closet
and lifted 4 cool black and white
gown from its hanger. The dress
was a very smart one, and one of
Warren's favorites, and she did want
him to be pleased with her tonight.

again, and Helen caught her breath
with the thought. Somehow the
thought of Winifred took away the
glad feeling that she had had all even
ing.
She wondered If she ought to be
going to the theater while her little
girl was I'll and needed her. And
then the thought that she would be
with her so very soon brought the
color back to her face. Surely War
rem knew what was best and he had
said there was no need to worry.
Warren Thinks Helen Is Pretty DreSsy
Helen pulled the drawer of her
dressing table open hurriedly and
sorted out a clean pair of gloves, and
down over her face. and went out TO
the living room.
Warren looked mp as she came into
the room.
Pretty dressy.. aren't you" he re-
marked, looking her up and down
critically.

'-Ths dress is all right. 7 got the
seats, but Wen have to go down early
TO get them. I'll Just wash up a bit
and then I'll be ready"
Going down in the elevator Helen
looked into the tiny mirror anxiously
to see II she really looked all right.
A woman always likes TO have last
look no matter how often she has
SABured herself of the fact that every
Thing is all right.
Warren did not notice the furtive
glance or he would have been sure to
make a remark of some kind. and 1t
wasn't until they had reached the
theater and Warren had gone to the
box office for the seats that she heard
any one speak appraisingly or other
wise about her appearance, Then
woman passing rather near to her re-
marked lauguidly:
Stunning little gown, isn't It? But
that woman is rather too pale for
black and white"
The women were lost in the crowd
and Helen could not see what they
looked like, and a moment later War
rem came back with the tickets and
they were being shown to their seats.
Helen was very quiet during the
time remaining before the curtain
went up. A casual remark abut her
looks worried her unreasonably. She
always had been sensitive about her
self, and, although nearly all the wo-
men she knew touched up their
cheeks occasionally when they were
going out, she had steadfastly held
out against It. Somehow or other, the
idea of painting her face was repul-
sive, even though 1t be just a light
dusting with a rabbits foot.
Pretty good seats. aren't they?" re-
