Iaklng quarter from her hungry
looking pure, she laid it by her plate,
reached for her hat and jacket, and
hurried out
$50 Washington Square-what kind
OF place was it? wondered Helen. To
what dingy dreary room was this
woman returning?
1t was late now, and the crowd was
gradually thinning. "Mollie" herself
came out from the pantry, rolled
down her sleeves, took off her apron,
and sat at one of the tables to chat.
She was tall and singular, with short,
ouShy hair, and an interesting face.
Good crowd tonight, Mollie?"
FAR. ;forty-eight. If they'd only
come earlier"
No. I'll pay for my own dinner.

But when MolIie handed him his

musingly, Gin a way she was fascinat-

just ahead. Let's walk through and

Some studio joint. Know what's
the matter with her-don't you?"
"Why no" wonderingly; what do
you mean?"
Dope"
OH with a siuddcr, Tightening
her hold on his arm.
They were on the south side of the
square now, and through the swirl
ing snow Helen tried to read the
numbers over the dimly lit doorways.
3S4 3S2, 3So-the shabbiest of all
that shabby row. The lower windows
were dark, but there was a faint light
on the third floor. The blind was up
and Helen could see the dim, un-
shaded gas jet and a patch of wall
paper. 1t looked unutterably dreary.
Was that her room? Was she up
there now, trying to fight off the crav-
ing for the drug that was wrecking
her?
For rejecting second Helen had a
wild impulse to dash up to that room
to tell that woman that she wanted
to help her. Then, as Warren impa-
tiently drew her on, she lowered her
face in her muff and hurried along the
slippery pavement without looking
back.
The whole evening had been for
Helen an illuminating glimpse into
the careless good-fellowship, the reck-
less improvidence, and the sordidness
of Bohemianism. And now she
pressed closer to Warren with throb
of thankfulness that it was a life Of
which neither of them was a part.

The clatter of dishes mingled with
the hum of voices, and the air was
thick with smoke and garlic. The long
tables were without cloths, and
wooden benches took the place oi
chairs. Around the walls was line
of hooks, from which hung motley
array of wraps.
From the doorway they scanned
crowded tables for an empty place.
How about that other room? You
wait here" and Warren strobe
through to what had been the back
parlor of the once dignihed old house.
Although Helen had wanted to sec
what this much-talked-of anarchist
arctic smoke and bare tables were
not alluring. She was almost glad
when Warren came back with brief

But as they turned to leave some
body called out jovially, Hold on
there! Always room for two moreF
Warren nodded his thanks as they
took the end of bench made vacant
by the others sliding themselves and
their dishes closer together.
Somebody showed toward Warren a
soilcd menu mimeographed in purple
ink. Glancing over his shoulder,
Helen saw the items, Bean Soup,
Ioc.;;" Small Steak, 25c.;" "Succotash,
&c." and promptly decided that the
food was too cheap to be either good
or clean.
Seem to be shy on walters" War
rem tried to catch the eye OF man
in shirt sleeves dashing kitchenward
with an overloaded tray.
"Stevc's the only food singer here
but he's a wonder" a man opposite
informed them sociably.
He must be to wait on this
crowd" admitted Warren.
Never been to Mollie's before"
"This is our first offense."
well, I'll show you the ropes.
Write your order on this" reaching
for small pad, "and give it to Steve.
Then forget it!' ,
Amy bread up that way?" called
some one.
"Sure!'' and a long French loaf
went coasting down the bare table.
Helen thought of the wet, dirty
dishcloth with which Steve had just
wiped off one of the other tables. and
decided not to cat any bread.
How about a cocktail" Warren
asked their friend opposite. "Can you
get anything to drink here"
IF they know you. Take chance
write it down anyway"
Dear, look" Helen was gazing at
the weird hectic-colored posters
above the line of coats. Are they
Cubist or Futurist-or WHAT"
"There's the chap that drew them"
The man opposite pointed out an
anaemic-looking youth with flowing
hair and tie Maybe he knows"
Steve now dashed up with tray
laden with bowls of thick, reddish
brown bean soup. Two of these he
showed across the table to Warren.
The soup had stopped over the
nickel edge of the bowl in smeary
brown streaks. With feeling of re-
vulsiou Helen pushed it from her.

GERMAN LOSSES HEAVY
Special Cable to me washington Herald.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
London, Jan. 3l.-The official press
bureau tonight issued the following
eyewitness" narrative of the battle
of Givenchy, emphasizing the fierce
character of the fighting in this
region:
''On January 25 the Germans launch
ed an assault against the British and
French positions south of the canal,
and, at one point, penetrated our line.
AT the same time they also at
tackled heavily against our troops in
Givenchy north of the canal, passing
over our front trenches and tempOra-
rily gaining a foothold at that place.
As their infantry surged forward
through village our men met them
with cold steel, killing 100 of them
with the bayOnet
The fighting proceeded for some
hours at close quarters and by noon
We had Teoccupied all of the original
trenches around the village. The Ger
mans showed the utmost determina-
tion in this quarter. delivering five at
lacks in the northeast corner of
GiYenchy. Their losses were very
heavy, several scattered bodies of the
enemy witch succeeded in penetrating
man. Our casualties in this part of
the fight were comparatively light
Hold Ground They Gained.
Meanwhile, south of the canal, the
struggle was fiercely contested
throughout the day The Germans
advancing along the main road, were
caught by the fire of our machine
guns and left the ground Uttered with
bodies of their dead. 1t is estimated
the number lost here was 800.
"As they came along the railway
cmbankment the enemy also was sub
Jected to our machine gun fire and
suffered greatly. but managed to pen
citrate our line at one point.
BY a counter attack, undertaken
with the cooperation of the French,
we drove them back. Although we
did not win back our original position,
we established a fresh line close be-
hind it.
THE greater part of the area of
this fighting consisted of brick fields
Both sides fought hand 10 hand. We
captured fifty-three prisoners, includ-
ing two officers. The total casualties
of the Germans are reported to have
amounted TO considerably more than
1000.
Against the French also their at
lacks were repulsed with great
slaughter. They showed considerable
activity at many other points on our
front and subjected our right center
to a heavy bOmbardment by trench
mortars and artillery"
