critically at the dress that Mrs. Hooper
had put on after dinner for his inspection
and approval.
| On her return from the city Mrs. Hooper
had been 80 busy preparing the evening
meal, shat she had time only to tell
Henry about her shopping expedition, and
dinner was scarcely over before q nelgh-
Dor came in to spend the evening ana
had stayed SO late talking with Mrs.
Hooper over some changes that she was
making In her house, that Henry hau
excused himself and gone upstairs 10

long interval had elapsed before MIS-
Hooner had n chance to show her new
gown to Henry.

turned around so that Henry might VIC"
the dress at every angle. IL was "

missed this chance" said Mrs. Hooper
smoothing the front of the Jacket which

Auntie Bellies good looking clothes.
"You look nice enough to live In a big
house like Mr. Aliens when you wear a
dress like that"
Mrs Hooper laughed at Helen's express

"well, that isn't the reason I'm so
pleased about my dress. What I'm re-
joicing about is that there is no doubt
that II will last me for three years and
that It was so reasonable in price"

Helen
