El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-11-13

F1LEN always remembered that
day as the worst experience of
her entire life. Afterward she
wondered how she lived in il. endured
what IL brought 10 her, and still re-
tanned any shred OF self respect or re-
spect for Warren. She slept fitfuily,
and finally AT noon arose and struggled
into her clothes
Warren was still at court and Bob
had gone down with him.
Louise had gone home, but expected
TO be back for a late lunch. Helen had
promised TO 80 out for a walk before
lunch, and she went out into the cooI
air, her mead aching violently ana neI
entire life as gray as the day itself
In spite Of herself however, she 1elt
better as she walked down Broadway
and watched the teeming crowds pass
on about her when she returned TO
the apartment Mary met her at the door
and said that Mrs. Bob Curtis hau
called up and would be over directly
wouldn't Mrs Curtis drink some beer
tea that she had made2 It would make
her feel better
Helen consented and Mary brought
her the broth and slice Of toast Helen
realized for the first time that she was
hungry. The smell OF an appetizing
lunch filled the apartment What was
It that Frances had recommended for a
sIeepless night2 A hot bath. Well, she
would take one and dress herself anew.
Perhaps that would make her feel bet
ter
Helen came out Of her bath refreshed
in body IL not in mind, She batbed her
eyes in violet water and powdered her
face. She would use just wee little
bit OF color, too, she decided, Just 10
make herself look a little less 1orlorn,
and after she had put up her hair and
rubbed a SUGGESTION of color on her
white cheeks. she slipped on little
red dress that she had bought the other
day. The door bell rang just as she
was finished and Louise came into the
room, an armful OF pink roses in her
hands.
Aren't we going to be gay2" she an
nounced. Just imagine our husbands
home 10 lunch, what an suspicious oc-
Helen 1ooIzgG at Louise, a question in
her eyes
you really think of the whole affair 2
Don't Won believe Warren is in fault2'
Louise SmOOths Matter Over.
my dear, that is a very hard ques-
ton to answer I dent really believe
that Warren intended anything wrong
you don't2 Why don't you2 Every
thing points toward his guilt
well Helen, principally because
Warren isn't the kind Of man to 90
anything OF the kind"
But, Louise, he discharged Miss
Field and put this girl in her place"
Il know he did. and I know that is
the hardest thing Of all to reconcile
ones self TO- but Just the same I be-
lieve that Warren went into this thing
blindly. Surely, Helen, you don't want
TO believe your husband the kind Of
man that would carry on an underhand
thing Of this sort"
"Of course I don't want to believe It.
but Whac can I dO2 warren did Inis
thing; he deceived me, and an l sup
posed 10 saw that I will overlook the
entire thing, and things viii go on as
they have beforeE
Of YOU don't do that what viii you
do2 Decide not to overlook it and then
What2"
Louise was arranging the flowers IN
a sweet grass basket. and now she
looked up and met Helen's anguished
glance
I know I sound hard, dear, but 1
don't mean TO be. 7 don't want TO eX-
cuse Wa -ren- just want 10 help you
70 do the only thing possible to con-
rinue your married happiness
And what is that"
Treat Warren Just as il nothing had
happened. It will surprise him and
make him wonder. There will be time
