OF course the dinner was quite
spoiled. However, if guests are late,
they can expect ordinary civiIity from

Warren made a few desuitory re-
marks to Mr.. Thurston, but Mrs.
Thurston, whom he had never liked
he wholly ignored. Helen was forced
to keep UP the conversation. Nerv-
ously she started one subject after an
other.
AS wine usually made Warren both
genial and loauacious, Helen nodded
several times for Maggie to refill his
glass. But tonight 1t seemed only to
make him more morose.
Hoping to conceal his lack of hospi-
tality, Helen had strung herself up to
an artificial vivacity. Fortunately,
the Thurstons left early. for by the
end of the evening she was nervous
enough to scream.
