WOMEN'S I "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" I CtfinUM k74at«MUaMl Kami !■ The perfect day had, to express it in Helen's words, gone to her head. She had never seemed qutte so happy. Ever since she had sprung out of bed, bits of songs had found their way to her lips and she sang while she dressed Warren had remarked caustically that ■ e couldn't see what made her so hap py. but Helen, undaunted, laughed merrily and said: "I thought you liked to hear me sing around the ho*ise. Don't you feel happy on a day like this? "You ought to be a man and have a man's worries," Warren vouch safed. "Tell me about your worries and I'll comfort you," offered Helen. "Ho," sneered Warren, "a woman understanding business worries. That's funny." Helen stopped singing, which fact brought forth another remark from AVarren. "Don't, for heaven's sake, take everything 1 say to heart. of course I like to hear y>ou sing. I'm glad you're happy." The strange feeling of happiness continued through the morning and while she dressed for a luncheon that l.ouise was giving. In a mood like this one Helen was almost reckless. She could not taJce her happiness in snatches like the more temperamental lonian; her life was more evenly placed and far too contented. Moods seldom bothered her. for she was too busy just being a home maker. Helen dressed carefully, and by the time she was ready to leave the apart ment she was ravenously hungry. Out side everything was beautiful, and she walked over to Louise's apartment, still humming. If Helen had known anything about the vagaries of life she would have realized that one's feelings were apt to run to extremes. Heights of happiness are often suc ceeded by depths of misery, the de gree determined by the character of the individual, and the power to suffer or be happy. Helen was not capable of blinding happiness as perhaps was Frances Knowles. but she was simply light-hearted and glad of being alive without stopping to reason why. At the door of Louise's apartment an appetizing smell of fried chicken assailed her nostrils, and she sniffed hungrily as Louise hurried out to meet her. One Objectionable Person "Hungry, dear? That's good: we'll go in directly, just waiting for one more. Come in here and take your things off. I think you'll have an awfully good time. There are just people you like here, with one ex ception." and Louise made a grim ace. "Who is that?" said Helen uncon cernedly. running a comb through her hair before the Ivory dressing table. "Mrs. Davenport." "Louise, no," said Helen, incredu ousl.v. "Yes: I knew you'd hate it." "That woman follows me like an avenging Nemesis." said Helen, still laughingly; "but do tell me how you happened to invite her." "Well, Bob Insisted: he said that for business reasons he would like me to be nice to Mrs. Davenport." "She will keep us all entertained with the doings of Charleston so ciety," said Helen. "I know it; she never seems to re alize that her conversation is boring." And I,ouise laughed. "Never mind, Helen: I have placed you between Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Dennis.

There's the hell: It ; must be Mrs. Davenport. Go rifrht in when you're ready, dear, and I'll take her into the guest room." Helen finished prinking and went out into the living room, where she was greeted cheerfully by every one. As Louise had said, all the people present were women Helen and Louise knew and liked. They were inti mate with some of the same people, and tn any case Helen liked all of Louise's friends. "This was natural because Helen had liked Louise from the first mo ment they had met, and she had | helped her to a better understanding I Boby's character.

"Even the china looks good i enough to eat. doesn't It?" said pretty Mrs. Dennis, who sat at Helen's left. Helen laughingly acquiesced, and a second later they were all talking and laughing over the first course. "I understand your husband is thinking of selling his car, Mrs. Cur tis." said Mrs. Davenport during a lull in the conversation. Helen looked up in surprise. "No, indeed, I think you must have been misinformed." "1 don't think so; in fact, my hus band was thinking of going up to look it over to-morrow," said Mrs. Daven port. touching her napkin to her mouth daintily. Helen hardly knew how to reply. She forgot everything, all the happy thoughts that she had had that morning. Could it be possible that Warren would put the car hi the mar ket without her knowledge? Surely he could not humiliate her so deeply. She would not believe it. And then she woke up to the fact that Mrs. Dav enport was speaking. "I hope I have not betrayed any secret." Helen rallied bravely. "N'ot at all." ( she rejoined. "Mr. Curtis has been thinking of selling the car for some time back, but I believe that he has changed his mind about It now."

Yellow Springs Is a curious, anoma lous sort of place. There is a village of that name. A few bmall houses, a store or so, a post-office—and the railway station. These make up the village. They are in a valley ringed about the mountains. And then, two miles away, is the real Yellow Springs —a vast hotel. A group of hotels, really, since one buildlnp long since ceased to be enough to accommodate the visiting crowds. The history of the resort Is written plainly In the hotel buildings. There are groves of trees, wide lawns, formal gardens in the Dutch and Italian styles, statues, summer housrb, terraces—everything to delight the eye. The bubbling sulphur springs, the geysers of hot mud, all the medi cinal waters that the earth yields for the alleviation of human suffering and pain, are rendered unobtrusive. Beautiful spring houses, exquisite bath pavilions, are harmonized with the general design. And to this place, every year, flock thousands of those who are 111, or who like to believe that they need the waters and the baths. Many come ' who really are ill, many more who need only a rest and a change of scene. Wonderful automobile roads ; have been laid out; there are golf ; links, tennis courts, paths through the I woods for those who like to ride, | facilities for every bort of game. There :is a casino, too, where the play often runs high. Restraints are few; the i local government of county and village jls far too wise to Impose strict rules upon the rich people who come to | Vellow Springs to spend their eionev. It was here that Mary. Interestingly j pale, came, accompanied bv her de voted and good .ooktng maid. Mary, jit was ffiven out, was recovering from i severe illness, and her appearance oore out this statement. It was for rest, rather than the cure, that she had Mine— Mary had balked resolutely i igainst drinking the waters and tak ntc the baths. she had felt, more over. that it might be a good thing :o have an excuse for keeping to her rooms. Mona. In her character as Mary's .maid, wasted no '.ime after their ar rival. They reached the Springs late 'ln the afternoon; before bed time Mona was familiar with Mrs. "Mc- Lean's routine. It had not proved dif ficult to gather the facts she had wanted to learn. "The whole place talks about her," «he told Mary, when they were in their rooms. "She's here with a maid, and she's taking medical treatment from * Dr. Brown—a nice looking young fellow. She spends the whole morning 5n the terrace every 'day, sunning her self, and for the ;<*sl day or two she's jeen quarreling with the doctor be cause she doesn't get well more quick ly. She Is always complaining of the expense, and saying she'll have to go lo live in ojie of her own tenements, •o economize, when she goes home I bet she will, too—she's done that be 'ore!" "What's the maid look like?" '"lou R<»bber," Screochod Letty at the Doctor. | 'She's just ordinary—and she's not | one of Letty's regular servants. She I was pick*d up for this trip, and I think she's pretty tired of her Job. She talks a good deal about Letty's meanness. 1 think she's been used to living with rich people, and that Let ty's rather a shock to her!" "I can quite believe it:" said Mary. 'She'd be a shock to almost anvotie who was used to dealing- with human beings, you know; Well—you'll bun dle me up carefully tomorrow morn ing. and find a nice long chair for me <s near to Letty's as you can manage! Then we'll see what we'll see.'' There wasn't BO much for them to see, as a matter of fact it was -what they heard that was interesting, as it turned out. What they saw was a woman well over sixty, dressed in faded black, with a shabby shawl about her thin shoulders and a bon net, long out of style, perched upon her thin grey hair. This was the formidable Letty McLean, who was supposed to be the richest woman in the world and was certainly the mean ' St. Her maid brought her out to her accustomed chair, where the sun was strongest, and in a few moments her doctor bustled up—a young man. en ergetic and forceful. At once Lettv hroke out into a 3harp tirade against him. ! "You robber!" she cried, in a high, nervous voice. "Just because I'm ■ supposed to have a little money you think I'll submit to extortion! You're like all the rest of the thieving crew! I I won't pay your bill—no wonder you i sent it to me, and were afraid to pre sent it yourself! It's extortion!" "I'm sorry you think so," said the doctor, a little angry, but amused, too, it v.-as plain. "I ve simply made my usual charge, Mrs. McLean. You must remember that you've claimed my un divided attention since you've been here." "Yes—and a lot of good you've done me, too!" she said, shrilly. "I'm no better than I was when I came down here! It's all a conspiracy to part me from my hard earned money!" Mona and Mary exchanged meaning Slances. And suddenly they saw that they were not the only interested audi tors of this dispute. A distinguished looking, bearded man of the profes sional type, who stood below the ter race, was listening, too. He smiled, as if it were an excellent joke. The two girls looked at him, and at one another. "I've Keen him somewhere!" aaid Mary. "So have I!" said Mona, "but 1 can't place him! I wonder—V "I think I know how to And out," said Mary. "Take me In—l'm going to write some letters." It was three days before the answers to the Inquiries that Mary had made came. Oti second thought, she had telegraphed instead of writing—and had used a sort of code, to defy possi ble curiosity concerning herself. Mean while things had not been at a stand still so far as Mrs. McLean was con cerned. She had heaped more re proaches upon Dr. Brown, and he had finally been angered to auoh a point that he threw up her cave and refused to treat her.
