unwomanly."
She paused. as though she expected
Helen to say something at that point,

| without raising her head. She remem-
bered Carries scathing remarks about
Louise that day at the hospital, but
she was determined to ward off any
further argument with Carrie If she
possibly could.
Helen Stands Up for Her Friend Louise
II remember that you were the
only one of the family who stood up
for her" went on Carrie. determined
to bring up unpleasant topics of the
past. Was ii because you really ap-
proved of her actions or because you
wanted to go against us?"
Helen thought that she might have
said that it was because she knew
how it felt TO be heartily disapproved
of by the entire family. That War
rens family had never liked her had
always made her unhappy because she
felt somehow that 1t vaguely in
fiuenced Warren in his treatment of
her.
Several times when they had been
angry Warren had brought the fact
home to her in a way that hurt. and
aside from the real genuine liking
that she had for Louise was deter
mination to fight for her rights in the
face of any opposition that the family
might bring to bear against her.
II never saw anything unwomanly
in Louise" said Helen finally; ''the
fact of her being at the hospital with
Bob was a very natural thing, that l
understood perfectly. l think 1t had
great deal to do with Bob's present
happiness"
queried Carrie. "I never thought
Louise was the kind of a girl who
could please Bob
Louise is the only kind of a girl
who could make Bob happy. because
she is the only girl in the world who
could hold his love-" said Helen with
the knowledge born of her own short
comings in her heart.
Il thought her too independent, too
careless of conventions, said Carrie.
still unconvinced.
But, II was because she loved Bob,
Carrie, not because she was foolishly
running in the way of public gossip.
I admire Louise more than 1 can say,
and have grown to love her dearly
We'll. ! mustn't stay and gossip
here all morning" she said. getting up
quickly. II haven't done any of my
ordering. How about veal outlets for
lunch? I wonder what the children
are doing"
There they are" crossing to the
WINDOW. now WondeT WndI Jne boys
have done with Winifred's hat. There
she is putting 1t on; she saw me look
ing at her. Children are always get
ting into mischief If someone isn't
continually watching them!"
"Winifred ought to come in now,
said Helen. glancing at the clock; "she
has been out for over an hour. l do
hope she doesn't take cold from go

They're going around to the back"
said Carrie. Jane will let them in
through the kitchen. Do you know,
| Helen. 1 believe I'll ask Bob and
1 Louise up for weekend some time.
I don't like to feel as though I'd mis-
/ judged her"
Helen was silent for a moment. She
wanted to say how nice that would
4 be. but she felt that Carrie had a mo-
! tive of some kind behind the thought
that had prompted her to speak of
/ the subject now.
I'D like to see if Bob has changed
any" Carrie went on. You know,
| Helen, you might have done a lot with
/ Warren if YOU hadn't always given in
/ to him the way you have."
