Have you ever met Mrs. Billy
Brown" whispered Anne ecstatically
as she and Helen settled themselves
in their seats. They had como to an
afternoon concert at one of the de-
partment stores at Anne's sugges-
ton. She had been wanting Helen
TO attend one of these concerts for
some time, and it had only been
lately that Helen had felt suf-
ficiently interested in such things.
NO. dear. / haven't. 1 see her
name here on the program. Do You
know her."
"I have met her. Jack knows her
very we'll She is the wife of a pro-
fessor and she has the most charming
voice. She sings at lots of these re-
citals."
II have always envied people who
did things like that sighed Helen.
why couldn't I have been born
with a talent? I might have written
stories like Frances or sketched
like you do, or sung like Mrs. Billy
Brown. AS it is, 1 can't do thing
but take care of house and bring
up my daughter"
IT think that is rather a wonderful
thing to do" said Anne.
so Frances told me once" said
Helen, but L notice that where 1t
is a question of career you women
are not so anxious to give up your
precious independence"
Il know it, but we envy the home
makers just the same"
When are you going to make
home for JACKIE"

dear"
Sometimes I think I can't wait till

am quite as eager rs I should be-
Helen laughed. She and Anne had
several little bundles between them.
They had been spending the day to-
gether. a thing that both liked TO do.
It had begun with some trifling
things that they had had to pur-
chase and then a great deal of win
dow shopping" as Anne called 1t.
Then had some lunch and then they
had drifted into the recital. Helen
was frankly interested in the af-
fair. She liked the idea of listen
ing to some of the best music while
her mind was at rest and her body in
harmony.
The recital began with an orches-
tral selection. Mrs. Billy Brown
was down on the program IN the
third position. Her songs We're
hracketed in Il series of three. Two
OF them Helen knew and was very
fond of. The other she did not, but
it sounded as though it would be
very pretty. Helen was quite anX-
ious to hear this stranger sing. Here
was another married woman with
some other interest in her life be-
sides her husband. This problem wor-

lighted up with big brown eyes and
n curved, mischievous mouth.
AS Anne said. she was charming.
one looked at her and wanted to
look again, she was so feminine and
appealing. Helen could almost see
his small woman in her own home
She would rule through her win
