The Strange Surprise

Helene was busy all the afternoon
giving orders to her maids about the
decorations, china service and ar
rangement Of furniture to give space
for the Elton Orchestra to whose mu-
sic the elite we're to be received. and
planning her own finishing touches to
her gowning. She wondered much
about Elton's joke about > his wife.
while she planned. Now and then she
thought Of Caras dancing eyes. They
had been good friends once. she and
Cara Saunders. The ribbon and linen
counters were next TO each other, and
Cara was always telling Helene. Ellen
Bond in those days, TO cheer up, the
best is yet to comet" And Ellen Bond
had depended on the other girl con-
siderably until she herself had become
engaged to the assistant manager. Now
she shrugged her shoulders.
"One has to maintain an aloofness
II one is to rise!" she told herself.
The next day the Mahogany Apart
ment hummed with genteel excitement

as Helene had designed it should, But
young Elton had not arrived, even lons

Elton was a great one for a joke.

Nonsense, my dear, we can manage
perfectly well. You'll meet them, won t
you, Harvey?"
Have to go to Hastings tomorrow,
mother. on business. and won't be
back until midnight. I'll ask Ted
Bates to meet them" Harvey sighed.
Its going to be awful having Latin
teacher around for two weeks. I'd
better get out my Cicero and Virgil so
1 can swap appropriate quotations
with her at breakfast. Well, I've got
to be going, mother"
The two girls arrived the next aft
ernoon and were greeted affectionate-
ly by Mrs. Burr, although Frances
was much disappointed not to see her
brother at the station
The following morning. Ann Win
throp was awakened by a frantic
knock at her door. Frances came in
looking very much downcast.
Ann. darling" she began, moth
er has one of her headaches and can't
get up. Can you by any chance tell

Frances went upstairs with a tray
for her mother. leaving the dearest
big brother" and the very dearest
girl" to get acquainted.
Heretofore Harvey's conversation
with girls had been limited to a very
few stereotyped remarks: PLEASED to
meet you." May have this dance. !"
"Goodby." But under the exhilarating
influence of sparkling blue eyes smil-
ing at him across the table, and dain-
ty white hands pouring his coffee, he
discovered that his vocabulary was
much more extensive, without using
Latin at all. And he was delighted TO
find that Ann could talk about other
things besides the weather and the
"cuteness" of the Burr cat. She had
lived all her life in the West. and had
had thrilling experiences on camping
trips and mountain hikes.
Frances came back in time to hear
her brother offer to wash the dishes
and suggest lawn party for that
evening.

ably settled you began to raise the
dust and poke my chair; then start
ed to eat a sandwich and you gave a
doleful prophecy. Then. when l was
trying to keep my temper you started
a discussion about shirts and climatic
conditions. Grey & Co. aren't wishing
shirts on me for nothing. that's bet.
And finally the strike of the ash men
held the floor. Martha, I don't want
to read all the time, but think a man
is entitled to one days rest out of the
week. Good natured OF ugly nagging =
It's just as annoying when a woman
keeps IL UP consistently. Now, I'm
through. Like the ash men, go on
strike for my rights. If you don't stop
nagging next Sunday I'll lock myself
in my room and enjoy the first good
read in years"
The next morning Mrs. Barrows con-
fided tearfully TO her understanding
nelghbor. What do you think, dear?
George accused me yesterday OF nag
ging."
But the understanding one nodded
negatively. albeit with infinite sympa-
