Il think it's awfully warm, / don't
know what you think about it, said
Helen languidly, as she and her moth
er anne out of the large department
store and walked slowly up Fifth ave
nue. Il don't feel like looking any
further just now, mother, let's go in
somewhere and have lunch, then we
can loo again ~afterward."
"All right" consented her mother,
although I'd feel better about it if we
got it settled first. Here's some in this
window, shall we go in here?"
Helen was on the point of answer
ing Grossly, but h choked h retort
that had risen to her lips and fol-
lowed her mother meekly into the
store where the taffeta had been dis
played in the windows. 1t seemed to
Helen as though they had visited fifty
places to match the piece of black
taffeta that her mother had insisted
upon getting.
Helen thought herself hat the silk
could have been matched near enough
at several other places, but her moth
err insisted that there were more
shades of black than of any color, so
they had persisted, and Helen, never
a very ardent shopper, had dropped
considerably since they had started.
Her veil had come loose and in try
ing to fix it she had pulled her hair
Town at the side. She was conscious
that she was not looking her best and
the fact made lei feel more cross. She
glanced at the silk that the man
brought out listlessly and without in
%terest, and was hardly conscious that
her mother had at last had several
yards measured off until the package
had been delivered and they were
moving toward the door.
Are you ready to nave lunch now"
she k again, and her mother as
sented genially as they started to-
ward the elevator.
Her Mother Finds 1t Really Enjoyable
w might as well have it right
here" said Helen, somewhat brighter
at the prospect of something to eat
and some rest. In the rest room she
took off her hat and brushed up her
hair as well as she could. BY the
time they were seated in the restau-
rant and she had ordered iced coffee
with some other things, she felt al
most gracious.
Her mother was frankly enjoying
herself. The trip through the differ
ent stores had not tired her in the
least, and there was u faint color in
her cheeks.

They fingered over the meal a Ions

tains laZily with a little vagrant breeze
that was almost hot, and yet refresh

"This' is hot weather for this time

ate her ice cream and listened to the

She Takes Her to Sec a Modern Play
Helen laughed. Warren hated
musical shows, too, and h herself
preferred a drama of some kind. She
had an idea that her mother would
like a farce, and as she ran over the
different plays in her mind the idea
occurred to her to buy seats for a
play that she had wanted to see all
winter. She had read the book and
although it was a little too heavy for
what she had thought in the first
place, still she would like very much
to see 1t staged.
She knew Warren would refuse to
buy seats for it, and this was a good
chance to see it if she were going to.
So, without any more thought on the
subject, Helen walked into the lobby
= n bought seats for the play she had
wanted to see.
Her mother became ~engrossed in
her program n examined it minute
ly. Helen thought, with a little
twinge of conscience, that her mother
might disapprove of a play of this
kind, but she salved her conscience
with the thought that she might take
her to see something else later.
The curtain went up and the play
begun. Helen was intensely interest
ed and, at the close of the first act
turned to her mother impulsively to
ask her how she liked it.
q like it pretty WELL" the Other
woman vouchsafed, but was very
quiet, nevertheless. At the end of the
second act she did not speak to Helen

through four acts, which Helen hardly
enjoyed because of her mothers face

Undoubtedly the semi-circular skirt is
a favorite one and will continue to be
such throughout the Spring. This one
takes unusually graceful flare and folds,
and at the same time is smooth over the
hips. The model will be found a good one
for many uses. 1t is exceedingly smart
for the coat suit, and it also is good for a
gown and the separate skirt. 1t can be
made from heavy material and from thin,
from wool, from silk, from linen and
from cotton. When the Empire waist
