Gated mirror. She liked the
cut, the straight lines gave
her an added slimness. Its
very plainness was distinctive after
the fussy braids and buttons OF the
other suits.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting,
the saleswoman came back into the
fitting room-"but the skirts been

coat.

Others" admitted Helen. "If the
skirts as good think I'll take it"
ITS a circular skirt know you'll
like it. Just a moment"
But it was several moments before
she returned, plainly troubled and
still without the skirt.
There seems to be some mistake.
Another customer has the skirt and
she wants to try on the coat"

it," Helen's desire for the suit in

That's what | told Miss Boyd, but
she says her customer had the skirt

and again she dartcd out,
This element of uncertainty great

woman.

But, madam, my customers wait

Here, to Helcn's intense relief, her
own saleswoman came back with a
tall, fairhaired, youngish man.
"Mr. Carter, this is the customer.
She likes the coat and has practical

skirt. but Miss Boyd insists"
Miss Boyd. the stout saleslady, in
tcrrupted with an excited, voluble
protest. Her customer had the prior
right to the suit. She had seen it on
the figure, and the stock girl had
just taken it off for her when Miss
took away the coat.
Realizing that Miss Walker was
much less assertive, Helen felt that
she must help her out or she would
lose the suit.

OF the afternoon she spent in vainly
striving to recall just how the Skin
was made.
Six. Half-past six. Still the sui
had not been delivered. Warren came
home early, and in high spirits. Evil
IDENTIFY the days business had beer
good.
They were almost through dinner
when Emma brought in the large box
marked special" Dropping her nap
kin, Helen started up with an ex.
cited, oh, it's my suit! I'm wild to
see itp
See here, the suit can wait-you
finish your dinner"
But already Helen had it out oil
the box and was trying on the coat
Wait, dear, I'll put on the whole
thing-you can tell so much better,
and gathering up the package she ran
into her room.
But her heart sank as she slipped
on the skirt. 1t was made with a
yoke, style she never liked, for
the line across the hips took from
her height. And the coat-somehow
it did not look quite the samel But
then she had had on her hat-per-
haps that made some difference.
Anxious for Warren's opinion, she
ran back TO the dining room. As she
turned slowly around before him, he
viewed the suit in ,stolid silence.
mot crazy about it. Big enough
for two of you"
"Oh no, it's just the skirt that's
too long-and the sleeves.
"All right, if you're satisfied.
You're the one that's got to wear
But Helen was not satisfied. She
had Emma leave her dishes tt pin
up the skirt Then she spent the next
hour viewing it in the various mir
rors-her discomfort growing as she
found new faults.
Take it back if you don't like it, ="
growled Warren, exasperated by her
constant appeals as to what he
thought of this or that alteration.
"Oh, ] can't ask them to take this
back" flushing.
"Why not? You're not so blamed
scrupulous about firing things back"
ooh, but this is different-another
woman wanted the suit! Oh, they had
a time! They had to send for the
foorwalker and the buyer" And
then came the story with all its de-
tails.
That's RIGHT Warren threw
back his head and roared. "Ha-ha,
I'd have given a farm to see you two
women scrapping. Butted right in
with the skirt on, did she? Regular
hair-pulling scene, eh?'
ooh, she was so insolent about it,"
Indignantly.
"WeH, l can't see that you were
such perfect lady"
"Why, l simply held on to the
coati You certainly don't think l
should have given it up to her"
Huh, seems now you're deuced
sorr, you didn't! / should say she
got the best of that deal Looks like
you're the one that's stung."
Almost in tears Helen went in to
take off the SUI. AS she hung it on
a form in her closet, she thought OF
the months it must hang there, of
the countless times she must wear it
and always with distaste. For she
never wore with comfort thing that
she disliked.
1t was a bitter price for a few mo-
ments of triumph. Other people were
always triumphing over her-yet
neither regret nor retribution seemed
ever to come to them.
With an almost vicious bang she
shut the closet door. 1t was always
sol Others got off-she never did.
Whatever happened she was always
the one to pay.

RIGHT OF Way FOR CUTOFF
SECURED BY COUNTY COURT
NEW BRIDGE EAST OF CITY WILL
BE CONSTRUCTED AS
PLANNED.

The right of way for the cutoff to
the new bridge to be built across tho
Cmatilla just east OF Pendleton has
been secured by the county court and
the bridge and cutoff will be built as
planned. according to information
given out by the court today. The
land for the right OF way was pur-
chased from Mrs. K. W. McComas at
satisfactory terms.
Since the protest made. by the tax
Payers association. number OF
those who opposed the cutoff most
vigorously have been taken to tho
scene Of the proposed cutoff and the
plan explained to them. This has re-
suited in a change of sentiment inas-
much as these men had mistaken no.
tions as to the cost OF the work. A
total OF about $500 yards OF dirt will
have TO be moved but most OF Il will
be moved Just across the river to DO
used in a fill and this will will re-
duce the cost OF the steel work OF tho
bridge. Judge Marsh stated that tho
reduction in the amount OF steel
from this fill will about pay for tho
cost of making the cutoff.
Before Judge Maloney resigned the
court had decided upon the new
bridge and the cutoff on account OF
the dangerous condition OF the turn
to the present bridge and because the
present bridge. is not a SAFE. one.
