lips Cool and glowing with the water.
she hurried back into the room and
began to dress ~leisurely. She twisted
her hair up in a low knot on the back
of her head. a style she had not at

the side. and last she took out a dress
of sprigged crepe. The effect was
quite charming.
You look very we'll, Mrs. Curtis"
she decided. nodding at herself in the
glass, and then she leaned far out Of
the window and picked some pink
ramblers which she fastened into her
belt. Undecided where to find War
ren. she went downstairs slowly. There
was no n in the hall, and she noticed
that a big living o opened from

Are YOU looking for your hus-

open another door and went down a
little hall to the porch.
At the other end two elderly women
sat and rocked slowly and a man of
about Warren's age was playing with

ii the shade that he had ever heard of.
Afterward they sat on the porch
while the stars came out. The two old
ladies had disappeared and only one
other couple sat out on the steps and
humned negro melodies softly.
Her eyes began to droop and she
half slept and half thought as she
swung herself lazily.
The last thing she remembered
was Warren asking her what she sup
posed they would have for breakfast.
and this so amused her that she
laughed the sleep away. Warren was
in the best of humors when he talked
about food. but certainly that supper
was worth talking about.

series will appear on this page soon.

The ride was long and tho air grew
warmer and warmer in the car. Even
the river seemed to make very little
difference, and the people began to get
restless. Helen was glad when they
finally reached the station. A smart
little automobile roadster met them. in
charge of a man who knew Warren
immediately, although Helen was curl
Gus 10 know. why. He walked up to
them and took their bags and Helen
followed. She was glad to get in and
be driven away in the sweet-scented
twilight, for several women were look
ms at her c~uriously and commenting
audibly on her costume. which was a
little too modern for the country.
The roads were in splendid condition
and Helen thought for the first time
that ii might have been a nice little
run in their own car. However, there
would lave been more or less of a
strain on Warren continually then, so
ii was probably just as we'll that they
hadn't planned il that way.
Warren helped her out and they fol-
lowed the "a into the house, which
was cool and not cluttered.
4 small oma came out into the
old-fashioned hall. She wore a crisp
calico dress and a dainty white apron
tied over it. Her face was flushed a
little as though she had been cooking,
and she wore a sprig of pink phloX in
her waist. she smiled at Helen and
asked her sweetly if she had enjoyed
the trip up.
of course it was hot. wasn't it,"
she asked, and Helen assented and fol-
lowed the little oma up the dark
stairs into a long. cool chamber.
She is Left TO Get Ready for Supper
This looks like a regular haven of
rest said Helen. beginning to tug at
her hat and opening her dressing bag,
which the man had deposited on a
chair.
Well. then. I'll leave you to get
ready for supper" said the little wom-
an. I'VE haven't many boarders now,
and III spread the table out on the
porch If you'd like it there"
This remark was hailed by excited
EXPLANATIONS from Helen and Warren.
How lovely said Helen.

little woman departed with a shy smile
of henevolen2e on her face.

slipped out OF her waist and skirt and
