It was just five when Helen got
back to the hotel. Their key was in
the office. SO she knew Warren had
not yet come.
But he was only few minutes late.
She was taking off her hat when he
entered He submitted rather i'm
patiently to her eager kiss and threw
his stick and a bundle of papers down
with a brusaue:
We'll. what kind of day did you
have?"
"Oh, dear, wonderfull"
Find London a pretty interesting
old town..

answer TIN dead tired. The city may
be all right. but by jove, you ought
to be up against the business man
here"
why. dear, didn't you have a good
day?' anxiously.

men are never In their offices, or IL
they are they don't see you unless
you make an appointment. Have to

there's a lot to be said for New York
way of butting into an office and See
ing your man on the spot instead of
fooling around writing letters to these
pickers.'
Helen was conscious OF a vague
misgiving. She knew It was War
ren's nature to always denounce
everybody and everything that didn't
go his way. He had been confident
OF success here and now II he was
meeting obstacles on this, his first
day!
Up Against II.
Tive made a few appointments for
tomorrow. Once I get at these fell
lows I'll get them going. Boaingtons-
the man I want to See the most. I
wrote him for an interview-but
heaven knows when I'll get it. They
take their own everlasting time for
things over here. Now let's get out
and get something to eat. Haven't
had thing but a whiskey and soda
since morning"
ooh, Warren, you know you should
not go all day without eating"
Didn't have time. Punch that bell
there for some hot water" and he
strobe over to the dresser and began
to take off his collar.
Helen read the notice beside the
bell:

rem. They've been using them since
the year one.'
There was a long, old-fashioned
handicapped washstand with the
TIVE heavy white porcelain hewls and
pitchers that the English hotels al
ways have in their double rooms.
Warren grumblingly poured out
some hot water in one Of the bowls.
About enough to wet canary bird,
You don't suppose we could afford
private bath?" ventured Helen.
Huh, Doubt II you could get one
Guess they haven't a half dozen In the
whole house. All this talk about
'tubbed Englishmen' is blamed bluff
Never was in a country where they
had So darn few tubs"
Here, as he started to empty the
water into the slop jar underneath
the stand. the bowl slipped from his
soapy hands and crashed to the floor
"Thunderatien," as he gazed at the
broken bowl and the wet, darkened
carpet.

Helen caught up a towel and was
already trying to mop up the water.
Let 1t alone" he growled. Serves
them right for expecting anybody to
wash in bowl and pitcher. If they
don't have baths. why under heaven
don't they put in stationary wash
stands with running water? I'd like
to tell these hotel managers over
here thing or two"
Helen was ,still trying to mop UP
the water. but the red OF the carpet
came off on the towel. She had al
ready used two and hesitated to take
clean one from the rack.
Didn't tell you to let that alone?"
demanded Warren, as he strobe over
to the bell and rang it vigorously.
Then. as the maid appeared, he waved
toward the washstand with a curte:
Wipe up that water over there
and take out that broken bowl" :.
Helen, who had always a dread of
extra hotel charges. was wondering
II they would be charged for the bowl.
But she feared to irritate Warren by
asking him.
She was arranging her hair before
the mirror and now Warren elbowed
her away to put on a fresh collar.
