The Sllver-Hess wedding, the absentmindedness of Mrs. Graves and the unprecedented November blizzard worked together for the good cf Roland Baxter. The Sllver-Hess wedding was scheduled for Denver. The absentminded Mrs. Graves and the relentless dIIezard met in Chicago. Polly Hess had recently moved to Chicago, and when her brother's fiancee "wrote that the wedding would occur directly before Thanksgiving day and would she please have a ducky frock of leaf green chiffon cloth to wear as maid of honor Polly Instantly decided that Chicago was a very big city and one in which a new dressmaker must be sought with discretion. Upon her musings entered Mrs.
Graves, whose faculty for switching from one topla of conversation to another , with lightning rapidity was as amusing to her friends as it was bewildering to new acquaintances. Said
Mrs. Graves:
Of course I can help you out. My
friend, Mrs. Barter you never did see such clothes. By the way, didn't Mrs.
Daly look like a frump at the club meeting Thursday? Now, Mrs. Baxter,
my dear did you ever hear worse
violin music than we had on that pro
gram? Her address oh, yes CJ2 Boulevard. Dear child, however did you train your lashes to curl like that?'
An hour later Roland Baxter, look
ing into the wonderful violet eyes be
neath those same curling lashes, Immediately decided that eyes, lashes and the owner thereof had dropped straight from heaven. The Baxter maid was standing in the private hallway of the Barter apartment explaining to Polly Hess that Mrs. Barter was not yet up. Would Miss Hess call later in the day? Mrs. Barter expected to be home
all afternoon. And at this instant the eldest scion of the house of Baxter added earnestly: "YouH surely find her here about 4. Do come back. She would be sorry to miss you." Then by exerting all his will power he managed to stand perfectly still and watch the violet eyed angel take her departure. Polly Hess walked through the sharp November air,. feeling oddly bewildered. "It must have been the place, and her name is Barter, but I'm afraid her prices are way beyond me. She must be dreadfully smart, and I suppose she has to go out late to theaters and things to see the styles, but she ought to be up by 10 o'clock. Maybe she has a good forewoman. Anyhow, I am coming back. Dear me, it must be lovely to be able to
buy frocks without figuring on the rent the dressmaker makes you help
to pay."
At 3:50 Roland Baxter 6trolled into
his mother's drawing room. The tea things were arranged on a convenient
table, but the afternoon lowered, and
guests would probably be few. Mrs. Baxter closed her magazine.
Anything wrong at the office, Ro
land?' she inquired.
No. Just thought I'd knock off.
It's a hideous afternoon downtown, and pretty women around a tea table can make you forget the worst weath
er."
His astute mother was for once non
plused. Roland "a willing sacrifice on
the altar of her afternoon tea table! And then the maid announced Miss Hess.
'Oh, dear!" mourned Mrs. Baxter as
she laid down her magazine. "I won
der what charity she represents."
Polly Hess paused, bewildered, in
the doorway. Then, with a laugh tinged with dismay and Just a little hysteria, she cried:
'Oh, now I know there is some
thing wrong. Please, please forgive
me. I've made such a dreadful mistake."
Mrs. Baxter stood midway between
her chair and her flushed guest:
'Perhaps if you would explain" "Yes, do let me explain. , I was
looking for a dressmaker, and Mrs.
Graves' "Mrs. Graves I Do not say another word. I can say it for you. . Mrs.
Graves admlreda new frock I w,as showing her yesterday. She asked me for the address of my dressmaker.
You asked her about a dressmaker,
and she gave you my address when she thought she was giving you the dressmaker's. That's just like her." The two women laughed in concert and then suddenly paused. Both had caught the rumble of masculine laughter and realized that Roland had risen and was standing, altogether expect ant in attitude and expression. "My sou. Miss Do tell tne you name and stop for a cup of tea," mur mured Mrs. Baxter, eager to relieve the girl's embarrassment. "Miss Hess? My son. Roland, light the alcohol stove and ring for some of that strawberry jam you love." Mrs. Baxter meant only to undo the mischief wrought by her voluble and inaccurate friend, but in a few minutes she was sincerely Interested in her charming if unexpected guest' They had mutual friends in Denver, and Polly's great-grandfather and Mrs. Barter's great-uncle had fought in the same regiment during the war of 1812. So it happened that Roland Baxter was just wondering whether the ambrosia of the gods and strawberry

Jam sandwiches were interchangcav-. terms when somewhere far off a soft chime struck five times. With the exquisite flush which was one of her best points Polly sprang to her feet. "You've been so perfectly charming, Mrs. Baxter, that Pve lost all track o time, and now it must be quite dark." Mrs. Baxter was bending her head in listening attitude. "Roland, that sounds like sleet It must be storming." Young Baxter hastened to the window and uttered an erclamation of dismay. "The worst ever. You can't thinK of going out in it MI3S Hess."
