I What were you going to do with 1t %
she inquired.
II wanted to make a coat for Miss
Winifred."
To-day was Thursday. winifred
| had to have the coat by Saturday
night. If Helen were going to buy it
she would have to go downtown that
afternoon. She looked up at the lit
tie clock on the mantlepiece. Half
past twelve already, Helen thought
guiltily of Warren's parting injunc-
ton, but she decided to go any way,
She needn't tell him she had been out.
Other wives didn't tell their hus-
bands everything, she reasoned.
BY o'clock she was in the center
of the shopping district. She went
through the childrens departments OF
two shops and already found herself
growing tired. At the third place she
found an obliging saleswoman, who,
after showing Helen several coats,
brought out one of a tan-colored ma
tertal trimmed with beaver fur. 1t
was exactly what she had thought of!
But 1T was expensive. For once Helen
Valiantly crushed all qualms on that
score, and promptly said she would
take it. She would have it wrapped
and carry it home. She was so anX-
ious to try it on Winifred that she
had to have it at once.
The long trip uptown in the subway
was forgotten. Helen's didn't stop to
think how tired she felt or how un-
pleasant the rain was. She could pic
ture her little girl in the attractive
new coat. She could imagine Wini-
fred's pleasure and how pretty she
would look in it. All Helen thought
of was to get home.
Once out of the subway, pushed
along rather than walking, she reach
ed the apartment. She quickly insert
ed the key in the lock and fairly ran
into. the hallway. To her dismay she
was confronted by Warren.
We'll, here you are at last" he said.
Where on earth have you been? You
must be crazy to go out on such a
day, if you don't have to. It's after
five. too. | came home early, special
~ because l thought you'd be alone.
There's no pleasing or doing the right
thing for women, it seems to me-
She Tells Warren to Look at the Coat
"Oh, Warren, don't let's argue!"
Helen cried. What does it matter
if | have been out? I'm all right, not
bit wet-really" She smiled up at
him, then kissed him. Really. War

know my own mind and not always

she said. with more spark than she
usually dared show. For once War
rem said nothing and merely stared at
her. Helen's tone of qnality was an
unusual one for her to adopt. He
turned from her.
Wait a moment. Warren. I'll tell
Nora to have tea for us and light Il
fire in the living room. 1t will be
cozy and cheerful And, oh, Warren.
do come in and look at the coat I've
bought for Winifred. It's too ador-
able, You'll love it,
Warren's anger having melted un-
der Helen's enthusiasm, he followed
her into their room in a complete
state of modification.

he commanded. I'm mighty hungry.

Warren had just left to go to his
office. Helen stood irresolutely IN
their living room, gazing abstractedly
through the rain-beaten windows,
Warren's last words to her had been,
Don't go out. You know you always
get cold or one of your headaches
when you trail around shopping on
day like this"
Helen thought 1t would be good
day to go over some of Winifred' )
clothes. She had bought several new
things for the little girl early in the
autumn, but really she did need a new
coat. 1t seemed pity, for the winter
was nearly over, and Winifred would
have to have a new Spring coat OF
some sort. 1t bothered Helen, who
always thought over carefully all eX-
penses, frequently to Warrens an
noyance-who, with all his faults, was
at least generous to degree ana
didn't believe in a thorough calcula-
ton of every penny expended.
Helen called Nora: Miss Wlnl-
fred's coat isn't in the hall closet. Did
YOU put it away, Nora?"
It's in your closet, ma'am, hang
ing in the back" she answered from
the kitchen.
Helen went into her room and took
the coat out. In the strong, morning
Sunday she and Warren and Winifred
were going to Carries, Warren's sis
ter. for dinner Carrie was always so
critical and her children were always
immediately dressed. Something
would have to be done for Winifred
Why couldn't she make n little coat
for her, Helen mused? She tried to
think of something which she might
have in the apartment which would
do. Suddenly she darted over to the
bureau, opened the lower drawer, and
quickly pulled out a fiat box 1t con-
tanned skirt of very lovely shade
of dark brown broadcloth. Helen had
bought it at a sale; it had never been
becoming, and consequently she had
never worn it. The color was exceed
inGly pretty, and the cloth was quite
good. 1t would be just the thing for
Winifred. The first thing to do would
he to rip it up. She snatched up the
IN. She hummed a little tune as she
vorked, planning how she would make
the coat.
She had some pieces of beaver fur
which would be Just the thing for
she collar and cuffs. There remained
only one seam to rip. To her dismay
she found that on the breadth which

eided streaks or faded spots. Helen

She took the cloth to Nora.

Helen went back to her room to
