THEIR MARRIED. LIFE

mo, you bet you don't. 1t isn't
your funeral, is it? Well, you wait
here and I'll see what l can do. I'll
be hanged if I'm going to pay a
tip to that boy, and haven't any
thing on that the rain can hurt"
Helen waited as Warren hurried
down the steps and around the cor
ner. A cutting wind blew some of
the sleet into her face and she went
back further into the doorway, shiv-
ering little. What was the use of
ever trying to have Il pleasant even
ing anywhere. No matter what she
did, there was always something
happening to spoil things. Warren
simply could not get through the
evening without making things ter
ribly unpleasant if the least little
incident annoyed him.
Ten minutes went by, and Helen
began to wonder where Warren
was. She wondered if he had
thought to telephone for taxi.
There was drug store right down
the way; she remembered passing
it. Suddenly she saw him come
round the corner, his face as black
as thunder cloud.
Il told you there wasn't chance
of getting a taxi up in this neigh
borhcod," he began.
Did you think to telephone for
one, dear?"
mo, L didn't. It's too bad you
couldn't attend to everything, then
we would have things perfect"
"Oh, Warren, what's the use of
being so detestable?" Helen said in
a flash of anger. He was not only
disagreeable, and unreasonable, but
rude.
TT wouldn't do any good to tele-
phone for one up here and at this
time of night, anyway" Warren
continued. Come on, L got some
newspapers from a cigar store; you
can wrap them around your hat,
and you'll be all right"
Helen took the papers and wrap
ped them about her head, and they
ventured out in the rain. 1t seemed
to Helen as though the distance to
the subway was interminable, and
the rain was so heavy that she could
feel it soaking through her shoes
and the thin Coat-suit she wore. By
the time they reached the entrance
to the subway she was wet through,
and she shivered involuntarily.
Warren turned to her when they
were seated. IF you take cold to-
night it's your own fault" he said,
eying her dripping shoulders. "Why
didn't you wear your fur coat?"
It's so heavy, and never
dreamed it would rain"
Il suppose your feet are wet
through, too; the ridiculous shoes
you women wear these days, with
paper soles, wouldn't protect any
thing. Did you get your hat wet?"
Helen shook her head; she felt
too miserable to be found fault with
any longer. Her shirtwaist was
clinging to her wet arms under
meath her coat, and she was very
uncomfortable. The minute they
reached the apartment Helen hur-

Advice to the LoveIOrn
VISITING A SICK FRIEND

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
Is is proper for a young lady to
visit u sick friend whom she has
known for n very short time and
bring him flowers. He lives in his
own apartment and has asked her
to pay him visit. The informal
ten will relieve me greatly as /
am quite doubtful.
1t is not proper to visit a man in
his apartment. In the case of a
friend who is seriously sick, one
wishes to be kind-so why not have
either your mother, sister or some
friend accompany you and thus go
on your errand of mercy, managing
