AS is often the case, after Helen's
, dramatic stand in regard to the course
in interior decorating her thought
dropped to the other extreme. She
had been so excited for days that
she had hardly taken into considera-
tion Warren's attitude or his reply to
her request. Her reason in the main
for making the request in the first
place was due to the fact that sne
had gone too far in the matter to
draw back and give in entirely. But
when Warren after few minutes
deliberation said, generously enough:
We'll, if that's what your heart is
set on, why don't you try 1t? Helen
had felt an immediate reaction. The
truth of the matter was that she had
really no great desire to go to school.
Warren, of course, could not know
this. but unwittingly he had stumbled
upon the very way to cure Helen OF
her determination to be n modern
woman.
Warren did not realize that Helen
was not modern. That she was, in
fact, essentially what nine out of ten
other women are in apartments all
over the United States. She was con-
tent to live in the charming little home
her husband provided for her. She
experienced the same feelings day in
and day out upon exactly the same
subjects that other women experience
in way she was proud that she had
married rather we'll than otherwise,
and that she was sufficiently well off
to be able to afford many of the lux
uries of life.
If Helen had not possessed an i'm
agination that afforded her more
though than the average woman
he would have been all right. But

quick to initiate others. Ned Burns,
while unattractive to her. neverthe-
less flattered her with his attention.
His offer of a position, which she
had at first spurned, would have
meant nothing at all to her if it had
not been for Warren's opposition.
Then, too, Helen had come in con-
tact with the modern trend and diff
terent as she was, she could not avoid
being affected in some degree by the
crowd that thought so differently
about things.
AS soon as Warren showed his will
inSness to have her begin a course in
interior decoration Helen, who had ex-
pected and looked forward to an ar
Sument on the subject when she could
again demonstrate the fact that she
was extremely modern and that War
rem was an old-fashioned domestic
tyrant, lost all interest in the idea.
Not for worlds, however, would
she have allowed Warren to see this.
Instead she began to think of a way
by which she could avert this calam-
ity that she had brought upon her
self. And, as is usual in q case of
this kind, the most trivial and do
mestic of circumstances enabled
Helen to almost if not quite retrieve
her old position.
Since Helen's suggestion Warren

FASHION DEGREES for breadth

girls frock that shows that
feature achieved in a most charm
ing manner. The skirt is a per-
fectly simple one but is just
looped a little at the sides to
give the broad effect. 1t is cut
in one with the over bodice and
there is a separate guimpe be-
meath. Here, that guimpe is
made to match the frock, but it
would be pretty to use a con-
trasting material, either a plain
silk or a Georgette crepe or
crepe de chine as the case might
be, or, you could use a figured
silk for the frock and a plair
silk for the guimpe. For =
sports dress of a more dainty
order, one of the heavy white
pongee silks with a border in

afternoon during the spring training
campaign OF the Yankees at Macon.
He was speaking Of Slim Love, who
was warming up at the time in front
of the grandstand. No left handler
since Rube's time had such a good
fast ball. His curves break fast and
his great height will add to his ef-
fectiveness." continued the Yankee
manager.

not surprising, in view Of all the

work in the future.
Last season he was credited with

Last season Love worked forty

ranked next to last from the stand

Of control was his big fault. So far
this year Slim has worked in seven
games, starting one and finishing six.
