Helen and Warren; Their Married Life

By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URNER Originator of "Their Married ,Mfe7- Author of "The Journal of a Leglected Wife," "The Woman Alone," Etc.. v

; Continued From Yesterday. , ' Helen was glad to let Warren, do most of the talking, hut bc was conscious that Carrie's4 critical glance kept wandering about the apartment.: "Ugh, how she frightened, me!" as Pussy Purr-Mew made a sudden leap for the fringe on Carrie's wrist-bag. '."She's caught her claw," sharply. She'll tear it!" ; - ; - -; Helen rescued the fringe and took Pussy Purr-Mew on her lap. . , VI like dogs, but I don't see how you can fuss over a cat," disapproved Carrie. "Think of the dust she collects with that tail!" .. . "We try not to have any dust for the tail to collect," returned Helen, , feel

ing that for once she had scored.

"No, 1 . hadn't much time to get around," Warren was saying. , "But Helen did drag me out to the rag mar

ket that's a mm place for you. Helen, how 'em the things we got there."

"Oh, we didn't get much," murmured Helen, who always shrank irom show

ing Carrie anything. "Here's an old card case," taking it from the mantel.

"And this old scent bottle , I think's rather quaint. What were they, dear? Only two shillings each, wasn't ft?" . "You're wild about this sort of thing, aren't you?" Carrie was looking at

'them without the slightest interest "I

suppose they're all right, but I never

cared to litter up my house with a lot

of bric-a-brac. Helen, who loathed bric-abrac and who prided herself on having a home free from useless ornamentation, flushed resentfully. "I see you've moved your desk," as Helen put back the scent bottle. : "Yes, it was too near the heat the veneering was getting warped." "You ought to keep a saucer of water uder your radiators. It's not the

heat as much as the dryness that

cracks veneer," instructed Carrie. "Do you use a good furniture polish?" '- "I suppose it's good," stiffly, "I get It at Warner's." "Well, if you'd get a little lemon oil it would take off all these smearylooking places. - It's better than anything else for mahogany." With an effort Helen forced a murmured comment about "trying it." Carrie's critical Instructive attitude

had never seemed more intolerable, and she had never felt for her a

stronger antagonism. It was a diffi

cult evening, and Helen could hardly kep from showing the resent that was smoldering within her.

It was a relief when Ed finally

glanced at the clock and announced that It was after. 10. But it was an

other half hour before they really got started. , , ,' 4 "Jt doesn't seem possible that Friday's Christmas,", observed ' Carrie as she pinned on her hat. ' "But we're not giving a single present r this year. What we ordinarily spend for presents we . decided to' give to the Belgians. Mrs. Elliot and I got off a big box on their Christmas ship." ' ? ."That was very fine of you," murmured, Helen, thinking of the expensive centerpiece she had already bought for Carrie. , "Oh, isn't that something new?" Carrie paused at the dining-room door as they passed by. "I've never seen that decanter." "Yes, I got that in London. I love that old Bohemian glass so, and you don't often seen one with . the old silver stopper.." :-- "What do you use for 'your silver?" Carrie had taken up a berry dish from

the sideboard. "Gordon's silver soa"

Oh, they make a cream that's much better. . You try it and your silver won't look so cloudy," holding the dish up to the light. "Carrie, it's late," called Ed from the door. With a forced, set smile, Helen followed them out to the elevator. Even after they rang for the car, Carrie kept it .waiting while she extolled the merits of the silver cream. "Mighty nice to have them this evening," declared Warren as he closed the door. "Carrie looked well, didn't she? Gave you some good tips, too. You must try that stunt about water under the radiator." Helen gulped, then all her smoldering resentment blazed out. It was the primitive, tigerish resentment that is aroused in even the mildest, gentlest woman by the criticism and interference of her husband's family. "You think she's such a paragon of a housekeeper, don't you?" passionately. "That's what all your family think! Well, I want to tell you something I saw myself! You remember that night we were over when Ed was sick? Well, I went'tout to fill the hotwater bag and I found the maid brushing her teeth in the kitchen sink! Now I may have smeary furniture and cloudy silver but I'm at least clean about the kitchen! And I'll tell her so, too!" "What're you tryiug to start, anyway?" scowled Warren. "I think it's mighty fine of Carrie to want to help you." , "Help me? She only wanted an excuse to air her own perfections. I tried to be civil-to her tonight but

the next time." excitedly, "I'll let her

know I can- ran - my- house without her assistance! Ad I'm. going to tell her that my maid doesn't wash her teeth In the kitchen eink!" "How. do -you know what she - does when you're not out11 there? Jove, women are cattish," aa with a yawn Warren ' started to wind the clock. "Where In the deuce Is that key?"

SAW GNAVS FINGER

NEW PARIS, O.; Jan. 11. Harry W. Bragg met with ' a ,? painful accident which ; might have been much worse.
