"Their Married Lrfe
I Copyright by International News Service.
f
Warren had just left to go to his
office. Helen stood irresolutely in
their living room, gazing abstractedly
through the rain-beaten windows.
"Warren's last words to her had been,
"Don't go out. You know you always
get a cold or one of your headaches
■when you trail around shopping on a
day like this."
Helen thought It would be a good
day to go over some o? Winifred s
«lothes. She had bought several new
things for the little girl early in the
autumn, but really she did need a new
< oat. It seemed a pittv, for the winter
was nearly over, and Winifred would
have to have a new Spring coat of
some sort. It bothered Helen, who
always thought over carefully all ex
penses, frequently to Warren's an
noyance—who, with all his faults, was
at least generous to a degree and
didn't believe in a thorough calcula
tion of every penny expended.
Helen called Xora: ".Miss Wini
fred's coat isn't in the hall closet. Did
you put it away, Nora?"
"It's in your closet, ma'am, hang
ing in the back," she answered from
the kitchen.
Helen went into her room and took
the coat out. In the strong, morning
light. It was decidedly shabby. Next
Sunday, she and Warren and Winifred
were going to Carrie's, Warren's sis-1
ter, for dinner. Carrie was always so >
'■rltlcal and her children were always]
immaculately dressed. Something;
would have to be done for Winifred.
Why couldn't she make a little coat
for her, Helen mused? She tried to
think of something which she might
have in the apartment which would
do. Suddenly she darted over to the
bureau, opened the lower drawer, and
quickly pulled out a flat box. It con
tained a skirt of a very lovely shade
of dark brown broadcloth. Helen had
bought it at a sale; it had never been
becoming, and consequently she had
never worn it. The color was exceed
ingly pretty, and the cloth was quite
good. It would be just the thing for
Winifred! The first thing to do would
l>e to rip it up. She snatched up the
Keissors, sat on the bed and started:
In. She hummed a little tune as she
torked, planning how she would make
vhe coat.
She had some pieces of beaver fur
Which would be just the thing for
ttie collar and cuffs. There remained
only one seam to rip. To her dismay
She found that on the breadth which
>'as the widest there were three de
tided streaks or faded spots. Helen
fcould have cried. If Warren were
Sioine he would have told her it wasj
She result of buying cheap material, i
She took the cloth to Xora.
Nora Is Puzzled Over the Queer Stain
"Do you suppose I can take this
eiain out?" Helen asked.
"Well, I dunno. ma'am." Nora an
swered in her usual noncommittal
fashion. "What is it?"
"That's just It. I don't know." Helen
>d.
"Give it to me. Mrs. Curtis, and I'll
Bee what I can do with it. Maybe it
will rub out."
Helen went back to her room to
find the fur she had thought of using.
A moment later Nora came in. "It's
no use. Mrs. Curtis." she announced.
"The cloth is spoiled. It's too bad.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
"What were you going: to Jo with it?"
she inquired.
"I wanted to make a coat for Miss
Winifred."
j To-day was Thursday. Winifred
j had to have the coat by Saturday
1 night. If Helen were going to buy it
| she would have to go downtown that
1 afternoon. She looked up at the lit -
jtle clock on the mantlepiece. Half
j past twelve already! Helen thought
guiltily of Warren's parting injunc
tion, but she decided to go any way.
She needn't tell him she had been out.
Other wives didn't tell their hus
bands everything, she reasoned.
By 3 o'clock she was in the center
of the shopping district. She went
through the children's departments of
two shops and already found herself
growing tired. At the third place she
found an obliging saleswoman, who,
after showing Helen several coats,
brought out one of a tan-colored ma
terial trimmed with beaver fur. It
was exactly what she had thought of!
But it was expensive. For once Helen
valiantly crushed all qualms on that
store, and promptly said she would
take it. She would have it wrapped
and carry It home. She was so anx
ious to try it on Winifred that she
had to have it at once.
The long trip uptown in the subway
was forgotte"n. Helen's didn't stop to
think how tired she felt or how un
pleasant the rain was. She could pic
ture her little girl in the attractive
new coat. She could imagine Wini
fred's pleasure and how pretty she
would look in it. All Helen thought
of was to get home.
Once out of the subway, pushed
along rather than walking, she reach
ed the apartment. She quickly insert
ed the key in the lock and fairly ran
Into.the hallway. To her dismay she
was confronted by Warren.
"Well, here you are at last," he said.
"Where on earth have you been? You
must be crazy to go out on such a
day, if you don't have to. It's after
five. too. I came home early, special
ly, because I thought you'd be alone.
There's no pleasing or doing the right
thing for women, it seems to me."
Inlk> Tell* Wnrren to I/ook at the Coat
1 "Oh, Warren, don't let's argue!"
Helen cried. "What does it matter
if I have been out? I'm all right, not
a bit wet—really." She smiled up at
him, then kissed him.- "Really, War
ren. you know I'm old enough to
know my own mind and not always
to submit to every whim of yours,"
she said, with more spark than she
usually dared show. For once War
ren said nothing and merely stared at
her. Helen's tone of qnalitv was an
unusual one for her to adopt. He
turned from her.
"Wait a moment. Warren. I'll tell
Nora to have tea for us and light a
tire in the living room. It will be
cozy and cheerful. And. oh, Warren,
flo come in and look at the coat I've
bought for Winifred: It's too ador
able! You'll love it!"
Warren's anger having melted un
der Helen's enthusiasm, he followed
her into their room in a complete
state of mollification.
"Tell Nora to hurry with that tea."
lie commanded. "I'm mighty hungry,
dear. Now let's see the coat."

The separate peplum is full and gathered,
flaring becomingly over the hips. Th«

challis with a charming trimming of lace
banding, with plain material for the collar,
but we are using cottons extensively and
cottons are wonderfully beautiful. Cotton
crtpe would make tip charmingly in this
way, and crfpe includes both plain colors
and figured effects. Almost week by week
and surely month by month there are new
materials and new colors offered. Cash
mere and albatross are pretty for gar
ments of this sort, for such simple wool
materials can be laundered almost as
readily as linen itself, and the lace makes
an appropriate finkh. Simple silks are
used too. and the tub silks are beautiful.
