r TELEN pushed through the crowd
n OF women that lined the corri-
= \ doris Of the Aldorf hotel during
the lunch hour. She and Mrs. Stevens
had been shopping and It was the sec
ond time that Helen had been DOWN
town that week. She felt overtired
and Warren had warned her that she
always tried to do too much and later
had to give up after all But the de-
sire to get her shopping off her hands
was too much for her and Mrs. Stevens
had easily persuaded her to spend the
day with her.
When Helen was tired she never
felt hungry and when Mrs. Stevens
had suggested going into the Abort
for substantial lunch Helen had con-
scented with poor grace. Mrs Stevens
was hungry, however; she wasn't the
type Of woman who could understand
Helen at all. She was always ready
for her meals when they were ready
for her Nothing ever interfered with
her desire to eat, and as they made
their way to a table over by the win
dow Helen felt that she was looking
forward 10 her meal with much plea
sure.
This will do very we'll, won't it,
Helen| Mrs. Stevens remarked, as
they sank into their chairs. And now
for a good meal I'm starved"
Helen laughed. You remind me Of
Warren, that's what he always says
whenever we 90 down town to eat"
We'll, what are we going to have7
Something substantial? How about
steak?
Goodness. what an appetite. I don't
know whether 1 can eat as much as
that. but il does sound tempting"
IAN right, wen have it, and now
that that's over we can look around
and see if we know anybody"
Helen leaned back with a sigh Of
relief. The luncheon room was quite
filled, but there was no one there who
looked familiar. Suddenly she started
and looked again more closely at the
couple who had just come in and were
sitting over by the door, Surely it
couldn't be possible. Yes it was Nr.
Stevens, and the woman with him was
hardly more than a girl. She must try
to keep Mrs. Stevens from looking
around any more. She began to talk
in a reckless kind Of way She didn't
care what she said il she could keep
talking.
Talk About Peoples Money.
Mrs. Stevens stopped looking around
and began to answer Helen's questions.
Makes you wonder where all the
money comes from, doesn't it?'
That's what 1 always say, and War
Ten generally suggests something more
yes, and most Of the women look
anything but happy" 60
Il never noticed that; I always
thought they looked particularly con-
tented with life in general"
"DO you think so? Look at the wom-
an at the next table, and the man with
her"
Helen was longing to take another
look at the door, but she dared not
The woman at the next table was a
girl, too; she didn't - ok more than 10
or 90. She was dressed in the height
Of fashion with a monkey hat perched
ridiculously on one side of her head
and fish hook curls plastered against
her smooth cheeks. -er coat was
flung carlessly over the back of her
chair and her thin chiffon waist re-
vealed a mass Of pink fluff under

Eyes Meet Helen'E.
The man with her was looking at
