"You can go il you like, dear,
but I've had nearly six months
Of mama and that will last me
for some time" Helen declared
easily when Walter suggested
they ought to go to one Of the
Wednesday nights.
But you haven't even seen
the others yet" he reproached
her.
st can survive 1t, darling, if
they can, and BESIDES" Helen
smiled winningly, what an op-
portunity I give them to talk
about mel"
Helen, you know that isn't
fair"
I'm sorry. darling. But you
go, Walter"
"You really won't Gomez"
mo, darling" she said anna
bly,, II really won't"
In the end walter went alone.
At first he made apologies for
Helen but later, running short
Of these, he went and said moth.
ing. This new Helen could not
be bullied: wpuld not be ca
joled. Somehow in the chase
with his sisters she had outrun
them all and now she didn't
even bother to turn around to
see where she had left them
behind.
CHAPTER xxx
The winter passed pleasantly
for Helen. She was amused at
Stella's trip to California where
she tried to get into the movies.
Someone had told her that she
looked like q naughty lady Of
the films who played society
roles and disdained a first
name. Helen wasn't sorry to
have missed the big scenes that
preceded Stella's scheme and
the orgies Of righteous justifica-
ton when Stella returned in
March unsuccessful in her ven
>ture. She came back broke, with
a severe cold and several pounds
underweight.
1--WE lent her the farm at
Bound Brook to stay until she
RECEIVERS"
That was sweet Of you,
dear"
Ethel and Eddie are going
out with her. Ethel wants q va
cation from the Salon-she de-
serves it-and Eddie wants to
paint"
That's an excellent idea"
agnes is thinking Of taking
Q place near there too 50 she
can use the pool. She's not bit
well. But by the time you want
to go out there in June or July.
they'll probably all be back
here"
They needn't rush, dear. I've
been talking with DR.. ASche. He
favors the seaShore for young
babies. I've been thinking we'd
take o little place at Long Beach
for a change. It's 50 near; you'd
be able to commute so much
more comfortably" Helen OBJ
served placidly.
When it was clear to the
others that Helen was going to
the ridiculous and unnecessary
expense Of taking q house at the
shore after Walter had spent
such a., fortune to remodel a
country home for her, Anastasia
and the nurse were installed at
the farmhouse and Agnes and
Carl decided it would be cheaper
to stay there too.
Business in the Salons was
booming. Walter opened two
new places, one on Broadway
and Fortieth Street and q sec
ond one in Brooklyn over the
Keith Albee Theater on Dekalh
Avenue. This was the largest
shop OF the chain and nearly as
elaborate as AnaStasia's Fifty
seventh Street. It was Walters
idea to capture all the Brooklyn
beauty parlor trade from this
vantage point.
Even Helen was a little appre.
hensiye at this enormous expan.
sion, but Walter was so conf
dent of himself that her doubts
were never spoken. The An.
aStaSia finger wave swept the
country and the AnaStaSia per-
manent was the most talked Of
and successful Of the pioneers
in the field Of permanent wav.
ing. The Anastasia bob was q
sensation. The Anastasia Salons
were rapidly mounting to the
peak Of their prosperity. Walter
worked like a demon. The girls,
excepting Irene, Of course. not
wishing to lose their hold on
the business. went back on q
part-time basis and made a
great show Of managing and adj
vising Walter and proving their
1ndiSpenSability by baking his
