'felt something was wrong. She looked

different, somehow, and her voice was different. "Good morning, good morning," she repeatedly said. "I told your husband I'd be here this morning; so here I am," setting down her suit case and bundle and leaning heavily against the wall. "But I can't begin work today. I'll leave these things and come, in ttoe morning." "Yon can't begin today V Helen exclaimed hi astonishment. "Why, I've been depending upon you. I harea't any one t do the work." "But you see, dearies" Helen started in amazement at this term, but Mary O'Connor went on blandly "you Bee, I've got to go over to Brokolyn today on some business. I really can't come 'fore tomorrow." "Then why didn't you tell us that yesterday?" persisted Helen. "You proimsed Mr. Curtis you'd be here the first thing this morning." "So I did, dearie," with a smile that now seemed to Helen curiously "And I'm here, ain't I?" Just then Melen got a whiff of her breath. She had been drinking. It was unmistakable. Helen drew back with a feeling of unmingled dismay, disgust and pity. She remembered what Warren had said about so many middleaged servants drinking. What should she do? Should she discharge her now? Yet she had such excellent references. Could this be only an incident which might not occur again? With a good home and steady work she might be all right. In a second all this flashed through Helen's mind, while Mary O'Connor still leaned against the wall and smiled inanely at her. At least she would keep her until she could telephone Warren. If he would only come he would know what to do. "Where shall I put my things, dearie?" asked Mary. Helen shrank from the obnoxious "dearie," but it would be useless to reprove her now. "You can set them in here, Mary" opening the door of the maid's room "But I don't want you to go just yet. Mr. Curtis is coming home in a few moments and I want you to speak to him first." "All right." amiably, "but I've got a friend downstairs, Mrs. Casey. She's a very fine woman," confidentially. "She owns three houses in Newark and her daughter took a beauty prize. I worked for Mrs. Casey two years. I'd like for you to meet her, and I don't, want to keep her downstairs. Dearie, won't you send for her to come up?" . "Why why, yes," stammered Helen, more bewildered than ever. What did it mean? Who was Mrs. Casey and why was she waiting downstairs? At any rate, she would have to let her come up. Before she could reach the tele

phone the bell rang shrilly. It was ;

i the hall boy's voice. j ! "Mrs. Curtis, there's a woman wait-j 1 ing down here who wants to know if,

; Mary O'Connor is coining down." "You can tell her to come up and I wait here," said Helen. And when a moment later Helen i opened the door, this time she was 1 almost frightened at the weird looking woman that stood there. A ponderously fat woman in a shabby black j dress, with a red blotched face, under ; a bedraggled black bonnet. She came i tn heavily, without speaking. ! "This is Mrs. Casey.'' beamed Mary. ! "She owns three houses in Newark j and I worked for her two years, didn't j I?" ! "Tnat she did," in a deep base voice. I "She's a fine girl, too." i "Will you both wait in here?" fali tered Helen. "1 I've got to telephone j a moment." "All right, dearies," assented Mary cheerfully. "We can wait a bit, just so I gets to Brooklyn 'fore the bank

closes. You see I ve a little saving bank account over there, and I've got to 'tend to that." Leaving the two women sitting side by side in the dining room, Helen hurried in to the telephone, closing the door so they could not hear. In a sec-

i ond she had called up Warren's offic e

and had him on the wire. "Oh, the most AWFUL thing has happened," excitedly. "That woman has come and she's been DRINKING! Oh, she talks so queer! And the most dreadful woman is with her! I'm almost frightened I don't know what to

do! Can't you come up right away and see her?" For once Warren responded willingly. Perhaps there was something in Helen's voice that made him feel her real need of him. "All right, Kitten. Ill take the subway and be there in a jiffy." When Helen went back to the dining room, Mary, with her bland, inane smile, asked: "Don't you want me to help you, dearie, while I wait? Can't I be doing somethin' for you?" "Why, yes, you can make the bed," agreed Helen, thinking it might be etter to let her do something anything but to have her sit beside that awful women. The two of them together seemed to terrify her. Mary, still with her hat on, followed Helen into the bedroom, and began clumsily to make up the bed. For the next fifteen minutes Helen hovered around pretending that she was dusting, but watching the weird woman in the dining room, who sat ponderously silent and unmoving, and Mary in the bedroom, who was still laboring ineffectually with the bed. Helen was so absorbed that she did not hear Warren enter. Before she could reach him, he had strode down the hall and stood in the dining room door gazing at Mrs. Casey. Just then Mary came out of the bedroom, and he turned and looked at her. Helen stood speechless. There was a dead silence. Then Warren said sternly, each word with a sharp rap of his cane: "Mary, this won't do!" "What do you mean, sir? What won't do?" "Your coming here in this condition." "Why, I don't know what you mean, sir?" "You know very well what I mean you've been drinking." "Oh, no sir, indeed I haven't. I never take anything you can ask anybody. I was sick and I took some medicine that's all." "Medicine?" scowled Warren. "Why you're drunk plain drunk." Here Mrs. Casey rose and came forward ponderously. "She's sick, sir. She ain't been drinking. She stayed at my house last night and I gave her a glass of wine. There ain't no harm in that." "You can call up Mrs. Ellison, or Mrs. Hulbert, or anybody I ever worked for," whimpered Mary, taking her reference from her handbag, "and they'll tell you I never drank nothing." "Dear, maybe she's right," whispered Helen, upder a sudden impulse of pity. "Perhaps she just got in with this awful owman, who gave her something. Let's give her a chance call up some of her references and ask them if she ver drank." For a moment Warren hesitated. Then, without a word, he took the references from Mary and strode over to the telephone. He had no trouble in getting the first one he tried, Mrs. G. W. Hulbert. at the Driscoll apartments,, on the wire. "This is Mr. Curtis talking. I wish to ask about the reference you have

given Mary O'Connor. We've engaged her for general housework and I want to know if well, if she's sober if she ever drinks." Evidently Mrs. Hulbert was answering at length, for Warren said no more except an occasional "Yes, I understand" "I see," and finally, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Hulbert. Yes, we'll try her. Goodby." He hung up the receiver and turned to Mary with a brief: "You come tomorrow. We'll give you a trial." But here Mrs. Casey spoke up. "I don't think Mary'll want to come. She ain't used to being treated like this." Warren wheeled around. "That'll be about all from you. And if Mary works for us YOU'RE to stay away from her. Understand that? Here's this is the way out." "Oh, dear, dear!" cried Helen, running toward him when he had closed the door after them. Oh, wasn't it the most DREADFUL thing?" "I. suppose we shouldn't have kept her," frowningly. "But Mrs. Hulbert gave her an exceptional reference." "What did she say?" eagerly. "Oh, all sorts of things that she'd been with them for three years, had never drank and was the most faithful servant they ever had." "Dear, maybe she is," murmured Helen. "Maybe it's just this once." "You can be mighty sure that it's just this once, far as we're concerned," said Warren grimly. "If it happens again she'll go and she'll go darn quickly."

Mary: 1 have found that face powder clogs the pores and causes that rough, scaly condition of your skin. Make up and use this inexpensive lotion and you will be delighted with the results: Dissolve 4 ounces spurmax (which you get at the druggist's) in M pint hot water or witcli hazel. After cleansing and drying the skin, apply the spurmax lotion rubbing lightly, until it vanishes. This lotion imparts a clearness and velvety softness of the skin and restores the rosetint of healthy maidenhood. The spurmax lotion is especially nice for sallow, "muddy," oily skins and is superior to powder as it is invisible when on and will not rub off in patches.

Married Life the Third Year

Dear, didn't you tell her to come as soon as she could this morning?" asked Helen, as Warren shrugged into his overcoat in the hall. "Yes, but I don't suppose she'll get here before 10." He took the cigar from his mouth and gave her a hasty kiss. "I'll call you up around 11 to find out if she comes. But she'll turn up all right. It's harder for them to get a job when they're that age." Helen went back to clear off the breakfast dishes. She piled them in the sink and left, them for the newgirl to wash. Then she dusted the front room, and it was 10 before she realized it. Yet Mary O'Connor had not. come. But at 11 the door bell rang, and with a sigh of relief, Helen hurried to answer it. Tt was Mary O'Connor, with a suit case, package and umbrella. She was smiling broadly. But instantly Helen
