understandingly.
In the dining room the OdOr Of
cooking was stronger than ever, and
when they sat down to the table, Mrs.

But after dinner when they went
back into the sitting room, Mr.. Mer-

Molly, don't YOU notice another
smell in here? It's gas. isn't it? Do
you suppose that girls left the stove
turned On?"
Mrs Merwin fastened out to the
kitchen, but returned with a puzzled
expression.

notice it out there. It's just in here"
Helen Speaks Out.
There was a general shifting now.
AS Warren saw Helen's growing ner-
vOusness and deepening color, he
tried to change the subject.
Then Merwin got out some cigars.
Here, Curtis. smoke up. Perhaps
these 'two-fOr-fives' are strong eonugh
TO kill the smells around here"
But Mrs. Merwin was of a persist
ent nature, and she kept on shifting,
determined to locate the odor.
At last Helen exclaimed with
nervous laugh:
DO you suppose it could be this

Mrs. Merwin came over and shifted

hated herself for ii, too And vet she
was always telling some foolish, lit

consciousness.
Mr.. Merwin went with them to the
station, so Warren had no chance to
roar out at her until they were on
the train.
