Helen and Warren Series; Story of Their Married
Life
"Can I use this, ma'am? Won't it come apart when I wash It?" With a gasp of dismay,' Helen took the dish. It was the gravy tureen of their best china, broken and crudely glued together. "No no, of course you can't use it! Oh, that girl was too sly for words! She tried to mend that so I wouldn't know! Now, Anna, If you do break anything, I want you to come straight and tell me. I can stand anything in a girl but slyness. What's that? Something else Emma did?" "I found it behind the ice box." Anna held up a napkin with the deep scorched imprint of a flatiron. Helen bit her lip. "Throw it away. I don't want to see it. I suppose we'll find a lot of things like that. Why, where did this come from?" taking up a gold-banded plate. "I don't know, ma'am; it was way back on the top shelf." "It belongs to Mrs. Gordon! Anna,"
turning to her sharply, "there's something else I want to tell you. The Gordons have the apartment across the hall, and while Emma was here their maid was forever in our kitchen. Now I'm perfectly willing for you to have your friends, but I want you to have them outside. I don't want that girl running in here. I don't want you even to know her. Do you understand?" "Yes'm. My aunt never likes me to 0D with the girls where I work." "That's right. Have your friends outside it'B much better. Now I'll send this plate back by the elevator boy. I don't want to give you any excuse even to speak to that girl." Helen had spent the day helping the new maid give the apartment a thorough cleaning. And now while Anna finished the pantry she decided
to clear out the bookcase and rear
range the books. It was almost 3, but it was a dismal,
rainy afternoon, and, confident that no one would call, Helen went at the disordered bookcase with real en
thusiasm. She had most of the books out, and
was sitting on the floor sorting over 'nme old magazines from the lower
Fhelf when the bell rang. The tailor
f-r Warren's suit, she thought uncon.
r-medly. Then, to her amazement, na, without any announcement,
s"red in Mrs. Gordon
"he books fell clatteringly from her ps Helen sprang up, panically nsricus of her old kimono, her dust ind gloves. The very modishness Mrs. Gordon's afternoon gown made -V-'s rrrray more striking. ' Oh. please don't let me disturb mi! But the maid said to com. right ir." 'It's a new maid." stammered Helen. "I we're having a general tleaning-up day. Won't you sit down?" Although the Gordon's had lived
pcross the hall for over a year, Helen
"Oh, I hope, Mrs. Curtis, you're not going to be offended! Of course I didn't believe a thing Emma said. You know how servants will gossip." "Yet it seems that you've listened to their gossip." "If I'd thought you'd have taken it this way," Mrs. Gordon rose haughtily, "I. certainly would not have told you." "I don't know what you mean by 'this way!'" Helen rose quite as haughtily and followed her to the door "I'm simply assuring you that my new maid will not trouble you. I've spoken to her alreay, and I shall speak to her again." . "Well, I'm very sorry, but of course if you insist on being offended I can't help it. I'm sure I meant it in a neighborly way. Good afternoon." "Good afternoon." And Helen closed the door very softly to keep from closing it very hard. Rushing out of the kitchen, with
excited, vehement warnings, she con
fronted the astonished Anna. Never, never, under any circumstances, must she go near the Gordon's kitchen or even speak to the Gordon's maid! Because she had to tell some one, Helen repeated all that Mrs. Gordon had said, her indignation and her rage increasing with the rehearsal.
When Helen was thoroughly angry
it always made her ill. And now the
thought of Emma's treachery and
Mrs. Gordon's haughty insolence in
flamed her to the point of hysteria.
By the time Warren came home, her head ached, her throat ached and
she had worked nerse.f up into an actual faver. "Oh! What DO you think! WHO do you think's been here?" was her incoherent greeting. "And what do you think that sly, hateful Emma is saying about us?" "How should I know?" indifferently, as he tossed her the evening paper and peeled off his overcoat. "That we didn't give her enough to EAT! That's what she told Mrs. Gordon's maid and Mrs. Gordon came in here today and told me!"
"Huh, she had a lot to do!" i "And that isn't all!" excitedly. "She said her ;m aid had to practically feed Emma because we didn't give her enough! That Emma was always in her kitchen, and that she hoped I'd keep my new maid out!" "Well, she's rjght about that." "OH, flamingly, "Wasn't her maid always in our kitchen? The very first
thing I told this girl was not to go near the Gordon's maid." "Ju3t see that she don't then. What's the sense of getting all fussed up about it?" . "Bt, dear, don't you CARE? Aren't you furious that Emma should say such things about us? She's told everybody in the house I know she has that we're so stingy we didn't give her enough to eat!" "What if she has We know it's not true, don't we?" "But other people don't. Oh, Warren don't you care at all what people think of us?" "Not anybody who'd listen to a lot of back-door gossip." "Well, I care it makes me wild! And the idea of Mrs. Gordon coming in here with such a story! I'd love to write her a note and tell her just what I think of her!"
"Now, see here. Don't you pull off
any rumpus with the Gordons. We re in too close quarters to stir up any rows."
"I stir up a row? Why, I haven't
been NEAR her! She walked in here with her haughty, overbearing air! I hardly said a word. You know I can
never talk back.
"Oh, you're not so all-fired meek. I'll wager before she got out you made her feel darned uncomfortable.
And once you get a grudge against anybody you never let up. Now don't you " try any of your 'getting-even
schemes'. Can that note business and
steer clear of her. Forget it!"
And Warren opened the evening
paper with cool unconcern.

ly, "but Emma was in my kitchen i son is having some remodeling and half the time. I couldn't go in to give I improvements made on the house. His .lane an order that she wasn't there.
Now that she's gone, I can tell you it was most annoying." "I can quite understand that," Helen's voice was icy", "for when Emma wasn't in yci:r kitchen, your maid was in mine." "I suppose so. Well. I thought when Emma left that would end it, but 1 find she still comes back to see Jane. She was there yesterday and again this morning. Now that I have it straight from you that she's dishonest, T shall certainly forbid Jane seeing her." ' Yes. I shouldn't think you'd care to have her around." "I know I'll have trouble in keeping her away, for the girl's simply hypnotized Jane. She's made her believe all sorts of things. You won't mind, I know, for it's so absurd, but she actually told Jane that you didn't give her enough to eat!" Helen caught her breath. For a moment she was speechless. "I found out that Jane was sending things over here, and naturally I wasn't pleased. But Jane insisted that the girl was hungry; she had worked on her sympathies so that Jane really believed her." "Didn't give her enough to eat?" repeated Helen, dazed. "And she circulated that story all through the house?" "I'm sure I don't know," with a supercilious shrug. "But, really, Mrs. Curtis, since servants are so gossipy, I think it would be just as well if your maid and Jane were not so friendly."
So that was what Mrs. Gordon had been leading up to! Helen's face flamed. "I'm very glad you've mentioned this Mrs. Gordon. I've just had a talk with Anna about this very thing. I assure you it was quite as annoying for me to have your girl. in my kitchen as it was for you to have Emma in yours. And I shall try to see that Anna has enough food," sarcastically, "so your maid will not feel obliged to feed her." ;

"The Price for Folly" at the Palace Wednesday and Thursday. It has always been said that the woman pays. "A Price for Folly," by George Diyenback, refutes this statement. George Dillenback's works are well known and his "A Price for Folly" will put him on a plane with the foremost writers today. It is a unique, original Thspiration. It refutes the axiom that a woman always pays. It took a wonderful personality to play the leading part, the part of a coquette, the part of premier danseuse, the part of a woman with a marble heart. Few actresses could portray this chamelon woman ; perhaps two, and one of them, was chosen. Her name is Edith Storey.
Dorothy Troud, of Pittsburg, age sixteen, laughed so hard at a joke she dislocated her jaw. When it was replaced she laughed so hard over the incident she dislocated her jaw again.
Clean Complexion
Don't worry about skin troubles. You can have a clear, clean complexion by using a little zemo, obtained at any drug tore for 25c, or extra large bottle at , $1.00. Zemo easily removes all traces of pirn pies, black beads, eczema, and ringworm and makes the skin clear and healthy. Zemo is neither watery, sticky nor I greasy and stains nothing. It is easily applied and costs a mere trifle for each
application, it is always dependable Zemo. Cleveland.
