Married Life. Third Year
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER

| Helen fluttered around anxious ar4

| .Oh. do be careful of that she warn
ed That's all fun of cut glass" as
| the men started to roll out one of the
barrels
NO, Della, that ism. ours" as she
saw Della putting the shower sheet
into one of the boxes. Take that
back into the bathroom; that belongs
TO the house"
! We'll, there's no sense IN my hang
ing around here interrupted Warren.
I'll go over and see If everything's
all right at the other apartment. I'll
get that janitor to put down some
paper on those floors, or they'll be
ruined dragging this stuff in"
Then you're coming back here %
asked Helen anxiously
What for? Nothing for me TO do
here and 1 ought to be at the office
I'll phone you around noon to see how
they're getting on. They won't have
those things out before then"
Warren always managed to get out
of everything he disIiked. So Helen
| was left with Della to look after the
moving.
They had tried to get three vans.
but on account of the rush around the
first of October, they could get only
| two. So one had TO come back for the
third load.
When at length the two vans got
off, Helen decided it would be better
to go over to the other apartment and
be there to receive those things, than
! to stay here for the third load.
Della carried the French glass clock,
one of their wedding presents which
Helen was afraid to PACK and Helen
took a fragile crystal vase wrapped in
tissue paper.
When the car came in sight of the
new apartment Helen was surprised
! to see two large moving vans drawn
up before the door
why surely they haven't gotten
| here YETI"
"Oh, no, ma'am. Them amt our
vans,'' exclaimed Della. They could
! not come as quick as we did"
When they left the car and crossed
the street. Helen saw they were vans
from another storage house, and that
| they were moving someone out.
The sidewalk was strewn with fur
| niture. There We're a lot of bundles
wrapped in sheets and a box of kitchen
utensils was uncovered, exposing the
/ blackened sxillets and stew pans.
| Household effects never show to adj
