THEIR MARRIED LIFE
Copyright by International News Service

Helen heard the door close after

smiled at his childishness. She won
dered if Warren really meant yha;
he did not wish her to go out alone
at night because he loved her and
was worried about her, or because
K did not fit in with his ideas of what
a woman may and may not do, from
a conventional standpoint.
Certainly she had gone out alone
or with another woman, rather
many times. and he had said moth

neyed alone to Brooklyn. but she
saw no reason why q woman who
was sensible and minded her own
business could not travel where sne
pleased at night as we'll as in the
daytime.
1t was with sense of lightheart-
edness that she went into her bed
room and prepared to go over to
Brooklyn for the evening. The fact
that Warren had disapproved had
given her a feeling of adventure as
she had felt once before when she
had gone out to dinner with Frances
and Carp. Her cheeks burned. she
hummed little tune. even through
dinner. when Mary served her quiet.

happy and, going down in the ele-
vator, she could hardly refrain from
singing out loud.
She knew that she must. take the
subway to Atlantic avenue, but
where she went from there, or how,
she hadn't the faintest idea. Evelyn
and her husband had taken Warren
and Helen the one time that Helen
had ever been there, and she did not
remember anything about the way
they had gone. She remembered
vaguely that Kenneth had said that
it was possible to go in two ways,
but that was as far as her memory
went.
At Atlantic avenue she stopped to
buy magazine and asked the man
behind the counter how to get to
Twenty-ei street.

Helen hadn't known, but she
fastened to give him the street num-

Helen told him. And, in spite of
the fact that he had spoken so
Grossly, he obligingly got out a fat
book and began to thumb it over
carefully.

thanked him and told him not to

was in front of the window. Unless
he could fight his way out. there
was no escape for him. He was
trapped.
Quietly Gordon looked from one
to another.

Is lame. You can see that for your
SELF. All I asked was n nights

Under another name than your
own, you cussed sneak"
The field agent did not under
stand the fury of the man. because
he did not know that these miners
were working the claim under a
defective title and that they had
jumped to the conclusion that he
had come to get evidence against
them. But he knew that never in
his life had he been in a tighter
hole. In another minute they would
attack him. Whether it would run

best he would be hammered help
less.
But no evidence of this knowledge
appeared in his manner.
II didn't give my last name te-
~ t.

an even voice.
He wondered as he spoke if he
had better try to fling himself
through the window sash. There
might be remote chance that her
could make it.
Inc miner at the table killed this |
possibility by rising and standing
squarely in the road.
Look out! He's got a sat,"
warned Macy.
Gordon fervently wished he had. |
But he was unarmed. While his
eyes quested for weapon he played

The four men closed with him in

their heads protected by uplifted
arms. His memory brought to him
a picture of the whitewashed grid

saw vision of safety.

toned.

question.

the sleeve of the man who stood
over them. DO you know where this
lady gets off to so to Twenty eighth

The man addressed as Tom looked
down into Helens anxious eyes, and
looked puzzled, too. Now, let me
see. he said, not wishing to give up,
and before Helen could say anything
he had turned toward two other !
men and asked them. The woman
next to Helen smiled, and said COM
fortingly, Don't you worry, we'll |
get you somewhere near it, anyway" :
Helen smiled back, and a warm I
little feeling began to steal through |
her heart. These people were all |
strangers to her and yet they were |
all interested in seeing that she ar
rived safely, for no reason save that
of common humanity. And yet
there were people who said that no
one in the city cared one way or an
other about what happened to a fell
low creature.

and the man addressed as Tom fl

advise you to get off at the next
corner" he said kindly. 1T will
take you within a short walk of your
destination anyway and no one
seems to know Just where to tell
you. If we'could get hold of the con-
ductor he might know, but he's
wedged in at the other end of the
car"
Helen thanked them with a shy
smile and prepared to get ose at the
corner. She stepped off the icy step
of the car into cold darkness and
felt as much as any woman would
feel under the circumstances a good {
way from home. She had no fear,
however, for if she didn't find the

This is a gown that can be
converted to various uses. 1t
has a simple blouse but with a
very novel collar that so nearly
covers it as to give something
of a jacket suggestion. The
skirt is simple one, shirred at
the upper edge and the tunic
falls over the sides. If you make
the shirrings of the skirt adjust
able it becomes adapted to the
expectant mother, but made as
it is here it is suited to general
wear. Satin and crepe de chine
and materials of such sort are
admirable and it also can be
made of two materials, with the
skirt and collar of satin, perhaps,
and the tunic and blouse of
crepe de chine. In the picture,
the collar and cuffs are of crepe
braided with soutache and SOU
tache applied over such thin ma
terials makes something of a
feature of the season. If you
made the entire gown of satin
it would be pretty to make the
collar and cuffs of Georgette,

with soutache. around the edges.

sister is to be married. Is it right
for this girl to be her sisters brides

your answer patiently.
MICHAEL c..
Naturally the girl of whom you
speak will be her sisters wedding
attendant. Equally naturally the
bridegroom chooses his own brother
as best man. There is absolutely
no reason why the man who cares
for the brides sister should expect
to be in the wedding party Out of
courtesy to his sweetheart, he would
be invited to be one of the guests at
the wedding and he has absolutely no
right to expect more or to be hurt
because both bride and groom choose
their nearest and dearest as attend
