will be ready for school and we can
start her right in. You said yourself
that she was too young to begin just
yet"
Yes, but next Fall. Warren you
couldn't mean that. That's nearly a
year away"
mo. not by long sight, only a
little over half
But dear" Helen said smilingly.
you must be joking, you can't mean
that you want to leave Winifred
here. that you think it would be best
for her"
That's just 1t. that's the very rea-
son want to leave her, I do think
| it would be best for her"
But dear, I'm her mother. want
her with me-" Helen was unconsci-
ouSly using the same arguments that
she had used last Fall when she had
persuaded Warren TO go out for Wini-
fred. The trip that she had thought
would be so splendid was already be-
ginning to assume aspects that she
hadn't looked for. If she could have
kept that part of her mothers letter
| from Warren he would not have
dreamed of such a thing. And she
was sure that If her mother had
known just how much unhappiness
her chance remark had caused she
would have been terribly upset.
You ought to think of Winifred's
health. You know that the country
| is just what she wants. and there is
no person in the world who could
care more for her welfare than her
! grandmother
Except perhaps her mother" said
Helen, ready to cry.
: Now don't excite yourself unneces-
sarily- l never saw anything like the
way you women get hysterical the
minute you think yo're not going to
have your own way"
Helen turned around so she could
look at Warren and see that he meant
what he said.
You are perfectly in earnest about
| wanting to leave Winifred out here
with mother until next Fall?"
Perfectly. / know that it would
be the best thing to do. It's unfortu-
nate that We live so far away from
the country so that Winifred cannot
be away more than she is"
Warren, you know that Winifred
is well, that nothing has been the
matter with her since she had her
operation"
Nothing beyond the fact that her
nose and throat are susceptible. You
remember the attack of the Group,
don't you?"
They Are Met at the Station by Helen's
Father
Yes, and do you suppose I would
leave her out here where she might
have another attack without me-"
1T isn't likely that she would have
an attack in dry atmosphere like
this. It's the dampness of the city
that affects her"
Just the same I will never consent,
never. That is final" And Helen. with
an unexpected burst of temper, turned
her head away as the tears coursed
slowly down her cheeks.
Warren said nothing, just went on
looking over some papers in his pock
ct and he and Helen hardly spoke
until the train pulled in and they
were making their way out Helen
walking ahead with Winfred and.
/ Warren carrying the baggage, which
consisted of a suit case and Helen's
hand bag.
Helen's father was at the station
and had picked up Winifred and slip
ped his arm about Helen before War
ren had jumped down. There was
no time to be anything but pleasant
| just then and Helen swallowed her
disappointment and talked TO her
father on the way to the house as
though nothing had happened. He
was so taken up with Winfred, who
chartered in the most engaging man.
ner possible, that he did not notice
any coldness in Helen's manner to her
! husband. Helen was too genuinely
glad to be home to allow anything
to spoil her happiness.
How have you BEEN" she said
eagerly. rs mother well. and how
is everything"
"Everything's fine" said her father,
| looking at her with pride in his eyes,
and your mother is as we'll as usual.
we both are"
"How's the practice" said Warren,
easily. Many sick people around
t there?"
Not so many, but enough, we man.

and Helen beamed at her father as he
drew up before the door and saw
/ her mother through the curtains of
the dining room window.
! With her arms around her mother
and her kind eyes upon her, Helen
. felt that things must come out all
right.
Mother" she said the minute that
