and as Nora released her she bounded
into Helen's room with a little scream
of delight. Helen could not helr
smiling at the child's enthusiasm
Somehow il made her feel better, and
when Nora came in with the dress
made up into a neat package she
smiled almost like her old self and
Nora eagerly returned it.
Don't worry about it, Nora" she
said kindly. II think probably l car
have it cleaned. Anyway 1t will give
me an excuse to have a new gown.
Helen did not mean what she said
but she was rewarded by the look OF
relief that spread over Nora's homely
features.
At the cleaners, a little specially

quently took things, she waited with
her heart in her mouth while the

The woman exclaimed as she ex-
amined the spot:
What a shame! I hardly think II
will come out"
She took the dress with her into
the back of the shop and returned in
a few minutes, followed by young
man.
What was it YOU spilled on It

"Oh, yes, madam: we alter all the
gowns we sell and it would be very
little trouble to do this
What would you do" said Helen,
picking up the dress. Insert new
'front.'"
I'VE could do that, or else we could
take out the front breadth and insert
some ACCORDION pleated chiffon and
drape the other up
Helen hesitated. She hated TO have
the dress altered in case she did not

Helen examined the skirt of the
little gown that the woman brought
in and hung up on a hook.
why, yes, l like that very much,
and you think mine could be made
to look just the same?" .
81 know it, madam" said the oblig-

this kind of work. l am sure you will

"All right, I think Til have you fix

one of her cards. And you deliver
things of course? How much will
that be-"
