Helen and Warren; Their Married Life

By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URNER Originator of "Their Married Life," Author of "The Journal of ft Keglected Wife.w The Woman Alone.- Etc. T

They spent another interesting half hour exploring the shop.- There were no samplers, bat Helen bought a bit of old embroidery forr only $3, and Mr. Weston paid $18 for an ivory snuffbox that she had admired. She wondered, a little uncomfortably, if he really wanted it. Yet there was every indication that he could afford to satisfy a chance whim. It was almost 1 when they strolled back to the hotel. As they went under the awninged entrance, Helen as trying to formulate a parting speech, thanking him for his courtesy. "If you're lunching alone, won't, you 'inlsh this very pleasant morning by lunching with me?" Wholly unprepared for this suggestion, she flushed and hesitated. While she was struggling for an excuse he was leading the way toward the dining room. In the throes of uncertainty she followed him. "A window table, Mr. Weston?" the head waiter greeted him. Even after they were seated Helen was still confused, and he tactfully pave the order without consulting her. With the first course, Jellied broth, the felt more at ease. After all, according to the traditions of travelers, this was probably quite within the conventions. It was foolish to be overprudish. Again the talk drifted to London. Tie told her of Bohemia, literary London, of the clubs and resorts unknown o tourists. Helen listened with the eager, glowing Interest that was one r;f her greatest charms. Absorbed, Bhe leaned forward with faintly flushed cheeks, unconscious of Warren's tall figure striding toward ihem. He was almost at the table before she looked up. Her violent start nearly up6et her wine glass! "Have you the key?' his voice was coldly impersonal. "Oh. dear oh, I'm so glad! Why. 1 didn't think you'd be back for luncheon. I I want you to meet Mr. Weston." "Won't you join us?" With quick courtesy Mr. Weston had risen and was motioning the waiter for aio'er chair. "N, thank you. I've just lunched."

Then again to Helen, "Have you the key?" : She was fumbling in her handbag.

her cheeks aflame. "Dear, do you want me?" awkwardly. "Shall I come right up?" "Certainly not," taking the key. "Don't let me disturb you." Then with a curt, "Glad to have met you" to Mr. Weston, he strode off. The pause that followed was a conscious, embarrassed one. Then without any comment on the interruption, Mr. Weston went on talking of London. Helen tried not to seem disconcerted, but she eould only think of Warren.- Was he waiting for her upstairs? What would he his attitude? Although Mr. Weston strove to put her at ease, the rest of the luncheon was most constrained. When they parted at the elevator, he thanked her for a very pleasant morning and expressed the hope that they would meet again. At the sixth floor, Helen darted down the long hall to their room. Warren was writing a letter, an unlighted cigar in his mouth. He did not look up as she entered. "Oh, dear, that the gentleman I met on the car you know I was all alone," breathlessly. - "We "''-got to talking of London an he" "Cut It! I'm not interested in your escapades." "Oh, Warren, don't take it like that! I couldn't help it I really didn't want to lunch with him, but I" "Yes, it looked that way.. Having a dismal time weren't you?" "Why, dear, wasn't it all right here in the hotel? And he's stopping here too." "What's that got to do with it?" "Why, Warren," nestling beside him, "you know I why I wouldn't have done it for worlds if I thought you'd be jealous!" "Jealous!" with a roar. "Don't flatter yourself! Think I care a whoop who you lunch with? Only next time leave the key in the office and I won't butt in ! " And gathering up his letters he swung out, the door banging after him (Another Story Tuesday.)

Now Shagrac, the Ogre, and the King of the Black Gnomes, both of whom hated the Queen of the Fairies for her goodness, put their wicked heads together and plotted what evil they might do her. "Every time we have contrived harm against her, we have done so separately," they said one to the other, "and every time that miserable little Squank, her favorite goblin, has upset our plans. Now, let us join together and see if together, we cannot ruin her beautiful fairyland and bring sorrow to her and her court." And so these evil creatures agreed that oh a certain dark night the Ogre with all his vassals and the King with all his wicked gnomes should march

(across the stream that bounded fairy

land and lay waste all that beautiful country. Now it happened that one Of Queen Esmeralda's dragon-flies that was wandering about the world in search of Information overheard this conversation between the Ogre and the Gnome King. As fast as his fleet wings could carry him he hastened back to the palace of the Queen and told her the terrible news. Oh, Queen!" he cried, "the wicked Ogre, Shagrac, and the King of the Gnomes have plotted to join their forces and destroy all this beautiful fairyland; and they will be so strong that nothing can resist them." and the dragon-fly burst into tears. Then the Queen and all the fairies at the court wept and wailed and wrung their hands in despair, for it seemed that nothing could resist the terrible, power of these wicked creatures. Their cries reached little Squank, who was chasing butterflies in the garden. "What is the matter, oh, little Queen?" he exclaimed, when he found Esmeralda and all the court bathed in tears. "Oh, little Squank." replied the Queen, "that terrible ogre and the wicked gnome king are coming with all their hosts of evil on a certain dark night to destroy our beautiful fairyland, and nothing can save us from their power." Then little Squank went off by himself and thought his very hardest.

"I cannot overcome them by f

strength," he mused, "so I will try cunning." And after thinking a long

"Oh, Queen, did you not, a long time ago, when there was a great drought and all the streams and ponds were dried up and the bullfrogs and their babies were dying for water, send for them all to come and live in your fountains until the rains came?" "Yes, -I did, Squank," replied the Queen. "But what has that to do with our present trouble?" But little Squank made never an answer, but went scuttling away to the great marsh where the king of the bullfrogs lived. "Oh, King Bullfrog!" he exclaimed, "don't you remembtr how, when all the ponds were dried up and your peo-

And then all the ogres took up the cry. "It's the terrible Boulamois!" and ran home as fast as they could, stumbling through the darkness. Then the gnomes grew frightened and took up the cry, and they, too, ran home. And when they were gone Squank thanked the king bullfrog for ti-eir beautiful song. "Yes, we do eing rather sweetly," replied the king, modestly, "but it takes a cultivated ear to appreciate it."

He recovered himself at once and presented the card which announced him as the senior member of the firm of Banks and Frost, architects. 'Whom did you wish to see, sir?" The girl turned slowly about In her swivel chair and regarded him respectfully but coolly. Her voice was low and gentle and distinctly feminine, yet it brought to him again that haunting sense of resemblance which the first , vision of her had caused.

"Miss Lawton," he replied, quietly. "But Miss Lawton is not here." The girl's surprise was unfeigned. "I have an appointment to meet her here at this time. She may perhaps have been detained. She has arranged to go over the club building with me. As you see by my card, I am an architect and she is planning more extensive work, I believe, along the lines instituted here at least that is the

are connected with the official work of the club?" "I am the secretary." The girl paused and then added, "I understand perfectly, sir. Will you be seated, please? Miss Lawton had not told me of her appointment here with you. She will without doubt arrive shortly." Henry Blaine seated himself, and as she started to turn back to her desk he asked quickley: "You must find the work here very interesting, do you not? We our firm have erected several philanthropic institutions of learning and recreation, but none precisely on this order. Miss Lawton has shown us the plans of this present club and we consider the arrangement of the dormatories particularly ingenious, with regard to economy of space and the requisite sunlight and air."

pie were dying for water, our Queen let them all come and live in her fountains until the rains came?" "Indeed I do," answered the Lullfrog king in a voice like a thousand thunders. "We shall never forget her kindness, and would love to repay it." "You can do so," continued Squank. "On a certain dark night take all your people every one of them and go line the banks of the stream that bounds Fairyland, just as thick as you can pack together. Keep perfectly quiet until I blow my whistle; then let every one of you commence to sing

for your very lives." "Why. certainly, little Squank," replied the king bullfrog. "That will just be fun for us; you know we like nothing better than to get together and sing songs. It's such beautiful music". Then away Squank hurried to the jaybird. "Jaybird." he said, "I hear that the Queen has gotten a most powerful ally to help her against the ogres and the gnomes. They are the terrible Boulamois, no bigger than your hand, with voices like thunder. But, mind you, don't say a word about it, you hear?" "Oh, no, I won't say a word," replied the jaybird. Then he flew away straight to Chagrac, the ogre, and told him about the terrible Boulamois. "I don't believe a word of it," replied Shagrac, but still he was very uneasy about these Boulamois, as people are always uneasy about an unknown danger. When the dark night came the ogres and the gnomes came stumbling along to the stream that bounded fairyland, bent on destroying everything there. On the opposite bank were squatting the bullfrogs by thousands, waiting to sing. Suddenly Squank blew his whistle and the bullfrogs commenced to bellow. "It's the terrible Boulamois!" cried Shagrac in an agony of fear; for, iike all wicked persons, he was a coward.

"I really think," she continued, with a grand air of hauteur, "that if matters have come to this point we'd better not discusse them further just now. I mean to get myself ready for dinner instead of wasting time talking. If you are going to get anything to eat this evening I advise you to follow my example." Julia's temper burst forth in a final flare. "How dare you talk as if I were in the wrong and you in the right!" she exclaimed. "You know you have twisted matters to suit your own ideas and have not answered a single one of my questions! Have you no explanations to give me?" Caryl shrugged her shoulders as she started toward the hall to wash at the sink outside the door. "I only know," she said quietly, "that facts speak for themselves, and that I have been automobiling in the broad daylight while you are proposing to go to a man's apartment now to ask him some personal question." "You know I did not expect to go tonight!" protested Julia. "Oh, didn't you? answered Caryl. "Well, I'm glad you didn't." Then the sound of water rushing from the cold water faucet as she turned it on made further conversation for the present impossible. Not until their silent dinner was ended, and the two girls" were returning to their lodgings, did Julia refer again to any matter of a personal nature. Then she spoke with some embarrassment. "As I was coming from work," she remarked, "I met Mr. Delaine. He apologized for stopping me, but as he had not our address he had no other way of communicating with you. He wished me to tell you that . he has been called out of town for a day or so, and will not want you tomorrow. As the- next day will be Sunday, I suppose 3'ou are not to report for duty until Monday morning." "Going away is he?" mused Caryl, "I wish I had known it sooner," she added, as if to herself. "Well, that means that I have a whole working day on my hands and nothing to do with it. But I guess I'll survive it." Julia wanted to remind her sister that her clothes needed repairing, but she stifled the expression of this thought. What good would it do to remind Caryl of the mending that should be done? The child detested

sewing, and Julia had made it her business to keep her own clothes and Caryl's in repair, although this meant taking many stitches late in the evening and on. Sunday the only day she had for rest. During July and August

Baird's store had closed at noon on Saturdays, but on these half holidays Caryl had wanted to go to some place of amusement or to do anything rather than remain at home. (More Tuesday.)

LYRIC. "The Wedding Guest," at the Lyric tonight. The sheriff of the county is elected by men who call him the "squarest sheriff alive." He is very stern and yet wonderfully tender and his great pride is his sheriff's badge. Panchita Garcia, the flower of the town, loved by "all, leaves home for a walk, passing through the town, where all the cowboys come out to meet her. "Bad" Pedro, a native, sees her and follows. He overtakes" her and tries to kiss her. The sheriff, who has been passing by and has given Pedro's wife money to buy food for the starving children, hears her and runs to her assistance. He takes as a remembrance her shawl which she drops.

Fascinating lingerie frocks are shown in white net with some form of detail trimming that proves most effective as contrast. Net is undoubtedly most popular because it is so serviceable. Very often lace either in filet or cluny pattern is combined, this lending a very rich trimming note. The frock illustrated is developed in white net, bound with narrow folds of satin. The very wide underskirt is befrilled with net and fluting of ribbon. Dainty clusters f flowers here and there afford a charming color note.

COLISEUM. Jackie Saunders, the "Maude Adams of the screen,", has resumed her photoplay work after a month's vacation spent in the east, in which time she obtained a dozen complete new outfits from France in New York City, which were used in her latest feature, "The Twin Triangle," which will be, the Equitable feature shown at the Coliseum theatre tonight, playing a dual role, with William Conklin playing leads opposite her. "The Twin Triangle," the story o which appeared in the May issue of the Motion Picture Magazine, tells of Czerta, the girl, who lives with a gypsy tribe, being protected from the attentions of Marco by his mother. Meanwhile, Madeline meets MacCanley, a distinguished artist, and makes a play for him, but he is mo6t indifferent.
