her muff and coat.

get down to dinner while things are
fresh. Here, take these with you"
thrusting at her thc magazine and
papers bought on the train.
AS their room was on the second
floor, Helen, not waiting for the Gle
vator, ran up the broad red-carpetcd
stairs, and puzzled her way around
the confusing turns OF the corridor
to "25I."
1t was a large corner room with
windows overlooking the lake A fire
place with a laid fire fulfilled the
promise of the hotel booklets, for
among the distinctive features Of this
smart winter resort were the open
hreplaCes in every room.
Drawing down the shades, Helen
paused to gaze out at the witChery of
the winter night. Beyond the ice
scummed lake, which reflected the
hotel lights, stretched the blackness
of the pine forest relieved by linger-
ing patches of a recent snow.
There was an alluring sense Of
comfort in being shut in this luxuri-
Gus hotel with its warmth and lights,
while outside the wind howled and
the frozen FIR branches ratified against
the window panes.
Swiftly Helen unpacked the two
suit cases and laid out Warren's din
ner coat and her flimsy evening
gown, with its accessories of pearl
silk stockings and brocaded slippers.
There was always a subtle fascina-
ton in getting settled in hotel room,
and now with eager zest she distrib-
uted their toilet things on the dresser
and washstand and their clothes in

door swung open and Warren strobe

only the one mirror"
We'll, I'll do the lightning change

off his coat. "Yank out the glad

"Everything's right there on the

a match to the kindling,

Helen was taking down her hair.

With astonishing rapidity Warren

and was ready to go down.
