WOMEN'S INTERESTS
THEIR MARRIED LIFE"
CepyrasAA ~ y-z=asr.at,o.s1 News Service

The perfect day had, to express it in
Helen's words, gone to her head She
had never seemed quite so happy. Ever
since she had sprung out of bed, bits
of songs had found their way to her
lips and she sang while she dressed
Warren had remarked caustioally that
BE couldn't see what made her so hap
py. but Helen. undaunted, laughed
merrily and said:
Il thought you liked to hear me
sing around the house. Don't you
feel happy on a day like this?
You ought to be a man and have
mans worries" Warren vouch-
safed
Tell me about your worries and I'll
comfort you" offered Helen.
''Ho," sneered Warren, "a woman
understanding business worries.
That's funny"
Helen stopped singing. which fact
brought forth another remark from
Warren. Don't, for heavens sake.
take everything l say to heart. OF
course l like TO hear you sing. I'm
glad you're happy"
The strange feeling of happiness
continued through the morning and
while she dressed for a luncheon that
Louise was giving. In a mood like
this one Helen was almost reckless
She could not take her happiness in
snatches like the more temperamental
woman: her life was more evenly
placed and far too contented. Moods
seldom bothered her, for she was too
busy just being a home maker.
Helen dressed carefully. and by the
time she was ready to leave the apart =
ment she was ravenouSly hungry. Out
side everything was beautiful, and she
walked over to Louise's apartment,
still humming. If Helen had known
anything about the vagaries of life
she would have realized that ones
feelings were apt to run to extremes.
Heights of happiness are often sue
ceeded by depths of misery. the de-
gree determined by the character of
the individual, and the power to suffer
or be happy. Helen was not capable
Of binding happiness as perhaps was
Frances Knowles, but she was simply
lght-hearted and glad of being alive
without stopping TO reason why.
AT the door of Louises apartment
an appetizing smell of fried Chicke
assailed her nostrils. and she shifted
hungrily as Louise hurried out to meet
her.
One Objectionable Person
Hungry, dear? That's good; We'll
go in directly, just waiting for one
more. Come in here and take your
things off. / think you'll have an
people you like here, with one eX-
Ception," and Louise made a grim
ace.
Who is that?" said Helen uncon-
cernedly, running comb through
her hair before the ivory dressing
table.
Mrs. Davenport"
Louise, no." said Helen, incredu-
ously.
Yes: l knew you'd hate it"
That woman follows me like an
avenging Nemesis said Helen. still
laughingly; but do tell me how you
happened to invite her."
We'll, Bob insisted; he said that for
business reasons he would like me to
be nice TO Mrs. Davenport
She will keep us all entertained
with the doings of Charleston So
ciety." said Helen.
Il know It; she never seems to re-
%liZe that her conversation is boring -
And Louise laughed. Never mind.

Stevens and Mrs. Dennis. You like
