WARREN ACTUALLY AGREES TO
HELEN'S PLAN TO GIVE A
DANCING PARTY
"Bat, Warren, I really think we
ought to do something; we have en
joyed other people's hospitality for so
long, we really ought to return it in
some way, dear."
Helen was seated in one of the
chairs at the little card table In the
center of the room, and she looked up
at Warren as she spoke. Mr. and Mrs.
Stevens were coming In to play cards,
and Helen had taken the opportunity
before the.v arrived to speak to War- j
ren about entertaining In some way
during the winter.
"I don't see that we have accepted
so much from people," said Warren,
with his customary combativeness.
"AVe have had dinner a couple of times
with people, and we have returned It.
1 don't remember anything else of any
importance."
"Not the Stevens' big affair and Mrs.
Dalton's reception, and the theater
party that Bob and Louise had "
"Bob and Louise are in the family,"
interrupted Warren. "I don't see why
you always want to accept these in- j
vitations, if you feel that you have]
to have an uncomfortable affair like [
that yourself. I'll never forget that
crush at Mrs. Dalton's. Not for me, ■
that kind of thing."
Helen laughed at the remembrance |
of Warren that night.
"Well, you see, she invited too many j
people for the size of her house."
"I should say she did!"
"But that doesn't take away from |
the fact that she did entertain, dear."
"Well, what is It that you want me
to say? Hurry up! Here 1 am—
spring it on me."
"Warren, don't be ridiculous. I was
simply asking your opinion about en
tertaining."
"And 1 gave it to you; now is it all
settled?"
"Oh, Warren, you are dreadful to
night. It. isn't settled, because we
realty must do something this winter." i
"All right." finally after a short si
lence. "I'll leave it to you, only don't
drag me in on it."
"Rut, dear, you'll have to be here."
"Why don't you give an afternoon
affair?"
"And leave out all the men? '
"Sure. I can patch up things with
them any time."
Helen sat and thought for a few
moments. Warren was in a good
mood, and, although it was a splendid |
opportunity for her, still she hated to
take advantage of it. She really could i
give an afternoon affair, and. if War-1
ren wanted it that way, why not? She
glanced over at Warren, smoking com- |
fortably. After all she had no right !
to make him uncomfortable. Secretly i
she had longed to give a dance, but
Ashe dreaded to broach the subject for
TO>ar of what Warren would say. War
• ren knocked the ashes off his cigar
and looked at her expectantly.
"Well," he said, slowly, "what have
you got up your sleeve now? Some
thing, I'll warrant."
Helen Snfftcests Having a Dance at
Home
"I'm afraid to tell you what It is,"
said Helen, impulsively.
"Afraid? That's something new,
isn't it? Come on, now, I'm anxious."
"Well, you remember how much
you are enjoying the dancing class,
dear? Well, T thought perhaps we
might have a dance. We could hire
a victrola or borrow Louise's, and we
might make it very informal, some- 1
thing you would like, and," Helen
stopped for breath and to see the
effect of her statement on Warren. He
was actually not angry.
"Warren, aren't you angry? I was
afraid you would be furious at' such
a suggestion. But you know, dear,
you don't have to even think of it If
you don't want to —it was ust an idea
of mine."
"I don't, think it's such a bad idea,"
said Warren, after a few minutes. "If
you're bound to entertain we might
as well do it that way as any other."
"What's the matter? Are you so
surprised? Perhaps you don't think
T can dance well enough."
"Warren, you know It wasn't that.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
I'm surprised, that's all. Why, dear. l
I never thought you'd be willing, and
it will be such fun."
"When shall we have it —around the
holiday time?"
"I think that would be wise."
"Well, are you going to send out
Invitations or what?"
Helen could not believe her ears.
"What do you think, dear? I think
wo ought to have it informal; it will I
be more fun that way. Oh, there's the ]
bell. Will you answer It? Nora has
gone out."
A moment later Warren had ad
mitted the Stevenses. Helen took Mrs.
.Stevens into her room to take off her
things. Her mind was on the subject
of the dance, however, and she looked
rather abstracted. Mrs. Stevens, fluf
fing up her hair at the glass, looked
at her smilingly.
"What's the matter? Got some
thing on your mind?"
Helen laughed. She wondered If
Warren would mind if she mentioned
it to Mrs. Stevens. She decided to
watt, and laughed off the remark.
"1 have a lot on my mind," she ex
plained as they went out Into the liv
ing room. "Winifred is going to pose
in those tableaux this week, and that
has to be thought of. Did you know
that little Joan Richards is going to
pose as the Blue Boy?"
"I had heard she was. Mrs. Dalton
was saying something about it. By
the way, are you coming out to the
dancing class to-morrow night? How
do you like the fox trot?"
Warren Grins at
the Mere Suggestion.
Helen looked at Warren across the
table and smiled. Warren was grin
ning broadly.
"Now, what does this mean? You
two have something between you.
Let us in on it," said Mr. Stevens.
"I told Helen I thought she had
something on her mind," said Mrs.
'Stevens, proud of her guess.
"There is no secret about it," said
Warren finally, as he shuffled the
cards. "Helen and I are thinking of
giving an Informal dance around the
holidays. What do you think about
it?"
"Bully," said Mr. Stevens.
"Just wonderful," said Mrs. Stevens,
properly enthusiastic. "My dear, I
never heard of anything so nice.
Whatever made you think of It?"
"Well, we wanted to do something,
and I had thought of this for some
• time. It will be fun, don't you
think ?"
I "Fun—l should say so; do have a
j dance."
; "We will," .explained Warren.
> "Helen thought that would be fun.
'We'll have to brush up a little before
i then, eh, Stevens?"
"You'll be the first people in our
crowd to give a dance." said Mrs.
Stevens; "everybody will be crazy
about it."
"Yes, I'm so excited about it T don't
see how I'm going to keep my mind
on a bridge game," said Mrs. Stevens.
"Oh, here's a little proposal, Ste
vens, to help you keep your mind on
the game," said Warren promptly. "I
meant to mention it the last time we
played, but it slipped my mind. How
about the losers standing for a din
ner and the theater some time within
the next six weeks?"
"I'm game, old man," agreed Mr.
Stevens.
t "We'll have to put a time limit on
it; let's say Christmas Eve."
| "Oh, no. Warren, not Christmas
I Eve. Remember Winifred is here,
and she will want to hang tip her
stocking. We must be home that
| night, dear."
"Of course you must." said Mrs.
Stevens, "let's say the day after Christ
mas."
"The day after Christmas it is,"
said Warren. "Believe me, you peo
{ pie will have to play up some If you
want to win that bet. Mrs. Stevens
and I are 'way ahead."
Helen smiled encouragingly across
the table. "Never mind, we're the
best dancers," she announced proudly.
"Not while I'm around," put in
Warren; "bid on your hand."

Be Kind to Plants;
They Are Nervous in
Opinion of Physicist
New York, Dec. 9.—Except in struc
ture, plants are much like human be
ings, Dr. Jagades Chuder Bose, Hindu
physicist of the Presidency College,
Calcutta, informed an audience yester
day in the conservatory of Columbia
University. They are distressingly
nervous, the least annoyance setting
them on edge.
Cold weather Is a nuisance to them,
hot weather an affliction, and they
dread electric shocks like a man con
demned to the chair. In uncongenial
company they become easily bored
nnd droop with weariness, and when
they can't stand it. any longer they
have convulsions and die in excruci
ating pain.
On the other hand they reciprocate
love and declare their happiness to
[those In real sympathy with them.
I Dr. BoSe said he had learned these
things and many more about plants
! by means of a machine with a "frae-
Itlonless" needle which he has Invented.
The machine enables him to feel the
| pulse throbs of plants and thus dla,?-
nos# their condition.

Order For Motor Trucks
By Associated Press
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 9. —A new or
der for 3.000 motor trucks for Russia,
France and England will be placed in

several stories regarding immense or
ders heretofore said to have been

on the part of the managers.
"The total number of trucks for
which orders have been placed thus
far is about 6,500, valued at )16,119,-
000," he said.
