Their Married Life
Warren Objects To Helens Idea Of Exchanging Gifts
And Goes AWAY Cross

, "Flatbush avenue car" he yelled,
and added some directions as to
where to get off which Helen failed
to hear. Before she could ask him
as she was very cold by now and see
ing her car waiting across the street
she did not stop, but hurried across
and just caught it as it started off.
She decided to ask the conductor.
but the car was so crowded and she
was wedged in so tightly between
three men that one of them had to
pass her fare over for her. Helen was
not the kind of a woman to push for
ward and ask for information, and
again she trusted to luck. The man
who sat in front Of her finally got
up to go and Helen took his seat and
found herself next to a sweet faced
girl, whom she instantly questioned.
The girl looked puzzled and finally
said, Il really don't know. think

question.

sleeve OF the man who stood over
them. DO you know where this lady
gets off to go to 2Sth street?"
The man addressed as Tom looked
down into Helen's anxious eyes, and
/ looked puzzled, too Now, let me
see," he said, not wishing to give up,
and before Helen could say anything

and asked them. The woman next to
Helen smiled, and said comfortingly.
/ Don't you worry, Wen get you some
where near II, anyway"
Helen smiled back, and a warm lit
! tie feeling began to steal through her
heart. These people were all strang
ers to her and yet they were all in
| terested in seeing that she arrived
safely, for no reason save that OF COM
mon humanity. And yet there were
people who said that no one in the
city cared one way or another about
what happened to a fellow creature
The three men were all arguing.

ELEM heard the door close after
n Warren and. in spite of herself,
= u she smiled at his childishness.
She wondered If Warren really meant
that he did not wish her to go out
alone at night because he loved her
and was worried about her, or be-
cause it 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 nothing.
Of course she had never journeyed
alone to Brooklyn, but she saw no
reason why a woman who was SEN
sible and minded her own business
could not travel where she pleased at
night as well as in the daytime.
Helen Prepares to Co.
It was with a 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 Civ
en- 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 a little tune, even through
dinner, when Mary served her quietly
and deity. Helen felt strangely hap
py and, going down in the elevator.
she could hardly refrain from sing
ing 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 re-
member anything about the way they
had gone. She remembered vaguely
that Kenneth had said that II was
possible to go in two ways, but that
was as far as her memory went
At Atlantic avenue she stopped to
buy a magazine and asked the man
behind the counter how to get to 2sth
street.
whereabouts? he snapped-"it
runs the whole length Of the city. you

Helen hadn't known. but she hast
ened TO give him the street number.
East or west?' he asked again.
Helen told him And in spite of the
fact that he had spoken so GROSSLY, he
obligingly got out a fat book and be-
gan to thumb il over carefully.
After a five minute wait, Helen
thanked him and told him not TO
bother.

wrinkling his forehead. But I'll tell
you what to do. Just go upstairs and
ask the starter. He can give you any
information you want"
Helen thanked him again and went
upstairs. It was a bitterly cold night
and she had foolishly worn her suit.
which was not very warm. She shiv-
cred as the cold air struck her, and
looked about for the starter. She saw
him out in the middle of the street
directing some kind of alteration.
When she finally reached him and
asked her question much of her en-
thusiasm was dampened.

fairs. Events already scheduled to
occur at the University club will be

CHRISTMAS WHITE,
WET AND CRUSTY

What had threatened to be a green
Christmas in Addison County this year
turned out, at the eleventh hour, to be
a white one, but a wet one and a
crusty one which made travel on all
roads difficult and unformotable. con-
ditions which have continued up to the
present Neither sleighs nor wagons
are entirely suitable, and automobile
are getting pretty rough treatment
The weather, however, had little eff
feet on merry observance of Christ
mas day and from the reports at local
stores, where holiday trade was much
larger generally than expected, it ap-
pears that Christmas giving is return
ing to peace time basis. The night
before Christmas was the most wintry
evening yet experienced this year, and
so stormy that it broke up the plans of
the Episcopal Church chorus to sing
Christmas carols on the streets.
Among the outside decorations for
the holiday, Miss Nan Price made her
home on Pleasant street the mecca of
many children and grown-ups, who
came to see several Christmas trees
in her yard gaily decorated, two of the
larger trees near the entrance being
strung with red electric lights.
