Mrs. Pickett's
Chaperone

1t was getting to be joke in their
set that Mrs. Pickett, the gay widow,
kept her young niece for chaperohe.
True, Helen Bryant, who had come to
live with her aunt, was more quiet In

brilliant conversation and witty repair
tee was as much delight to her as to
any of Mrs. Pickett's admirers.
Helen's conversational gift took a
slightly different trend. She had also
ready wit, but she had, too, senti.
ment and Imagination. Her poems
were beginning to find their way into
the best magazines and she often found
reading and study more alluring than
bridge parties or teas. So sometimes
when they asked Mrs. Pickett where
her chaperone was she would laugh
and say she was being shockingly neg
lected and who could tell where such
carelessness would end. People who
only met Helen in company with her
aunt never really knew the girl, for
Mrs. Pickett was the dominant indi-
vidual who took the conversational
field and kept 1t. Not that she meant
to do this, but she was simply bub-
bling with wit and good humor and had
to effervesce. Naturally Helen did
not, under these circumstances. shine.
About six months after Helen came
to live with her aunt Wade Barber
