had brought from the office:
"Well, . Ive engsfed p&ae&xe on the

"Oh. : Warren'"
Helen's Joy and
astonishment' were

"And do .you really think J can go, too?"
breathlessly. ' , ,
"Just asked if you - could 1 get- ready,
didn't I? Grlffen is going, to pay my
expenses and I'm-going to pay yours. He
wanted to do It all, but I. told him I
wouldn't stand for that."
"But will mrr going make if very ex
pensive? Can we afford it?" anxiously.
"Now, I'll attend to that. All you'vo got
to do Is to get ready."
"Oh, Warren, It will be wonderful!
You know I've never been on the ocean.
And London! Oh, Just think what It will
mean!-
Warren was studying the plan of the
eteamer which he had spread out on the
table. "Now here's our stateroom 82C.
That's' on thf saloon deck. They offered
me a larger room on the deck above,
ut they're always promenading or wash
ing the deck up there just when you
want to sleep.' I ' had that kind of a
room once and it was an Infernal nuis
ance." "Dear," slipping into his lap. "I can
hardly ' believe it! I'm almost afraid I'll
wake up and find it Isn't true."
"Well, you'll have to wake up and
hustle to get ready in time. You'll have
to do everything here at the house. I've
got all I can manage to get things in
shape at the office. Let's see. You
haven't a steamer trung, have you?
Helen shook her head.
"Then we'll have to get one. Have the
janitor bring up mine tomorrow and I'll
look It over. Think that lock has to be
fixed." , ' : ,; .:
"Dear, you'll have to tell 'me how to
pack what to take." -v ' ,
"Well, don't have a lot of truck, what
ever you do. Just some good, warm
things for the steamer. And for heaven's
sake have some close-fitting hat or
hood to wear on deck none of those
fly away things to catch the wind."
"And what will I need in London?"
eagerly. WW it be colder there?"
"No, Just about the same as here. But
you'll want a couple of evening gown.
You can't dine anywhere there unless
you're dressed."
, "You can't?" In astonishment.
."Not at the good places. That's a
strict rule and they enforce it, too. You
see more evening gowns in the restau
rants there in a night than you do here
in a whole season."
"Where are we going to stop at a
hotel?" Helen's voice was atbrill with ex
citement ' ' -
"Of course, and a good one. Have ti
put up a food front if I expect to put
over a deal like this." Then; suddenly
looking at his watch, "How about dinner?
I've got to go back to the office tonight.
"Oh, Warren, you do and you're so
tired? Must you go tonight?"
''Yes, and every night this week, if i
expect to get things in shape.". -
Helen hurried out to the kitchen to help
Delia, put the dinner on the table. :
"Mr. Curtis has to go back to the
office," She explained. "No, don't take
time- to cream the potatoes Just serve
them that way."
Warren bolted his dinner in abstracted
silence, unconscious of what he ate. while
Helen was too excited to eat anything at
all. Usually it irritated him when she
merely minced at her food, but tonight
he was much too preoccupied to notice.
'Til not work much later than 10," as
he hurried oft "You'd better be maktnn
a list of the things that you want to do
or take. That's the only way you can get
through a lot of work in a short time."
Warren's advice to "make a list" wa
unnecessary, for Helen's list-making habit
was deep-rooted. . She never thought of
giving a dinner or going shopping with-

list' of the things
needed. '. i '. ,
But this evening she was much too ex
cited for list-making. The idea of going
abroad was far too new and too wonder
ful for her to really settle down to any
consecutive thinking. . " ' . ' " "
- However, she did try. She headed one
sheet of paper with "things to take" and
another "things to be done." And then
she sat nibbling the end of her pen.
dreaming of the ocean and the wonders
of London.
She was thinking of some views of Lon
don" streets that she had seen not long
ago' in a magazine when the , telephone
rang. It was Mr. Stevens to speak to
Warren.:. v -
"Well,, it doesn't mattet," when Helen
explained that he had gone, back to the
Office. ' "Just wanted ; to ; know. If you
could come up to. dinner Wednesday.' Mrs.
Steven's brother from Detroit will be
here." '' ' ''-' : -s ' ;
'Oh, I'm sure we should have loved to
come but we're going to Europe!": and
Helen could not keep, the note of lm-(
portanc out of her voice. ."We sail a,
week from Saturday. " , v , : !
Mr, Stevens expressed his surprise and,
pleasure; and said fie would' call up War
ren in the morning, j '.:.
When Helen hung up the receiver her
own words still rang In her ears. "We
are going to Europe. We sail a week
from Saturday!" She had heard other
people say that, and it had always im
pressed her and filled her with a mingled
wonder and envy.
Now she was going-she was "sailing
Saturday." And . when she returned she,
too, could say casually "When we were
abroad" or "When we were In Europe"
or "Doesn't that remind you of London?"
It was almost 11 before Warren came.
"Yes, I'm tired too darned tired to be
fussed over," as she hovered about him
in anxious solicitude. "I want to get
to bed."
It took, him only a few, minutes to
take his bath and "turn in" as he ex
pressed, it. But Helen who at night had
always much straightening and fixing
up to do, was much longer.
When finally she was ready she slipped
in softly so as not to awaken him. Much
too excited to sleep. Helen lay until far
Into the night dreaming of and planning
for the trip. Once Warren awoke with
and Irritable:
"Is that window open. It's infernally
close in here." .
"Why, yes dear, they're all open."
Then he turned heavily on his side. A
few moments later Helen, feeling that
he was still awake, whispered.
"Dear?" . .
"Uh." ' . ':.
"Dear, if we should have an accident
If the ship should run Into an iceberg
Oh, they couldn't make me leave you! I
wouldn't let them put me off in a life
boat, if you couldn't come!, I'd want to
stay right with you whatever happened!
You'd let me wouldn't you?"
"Huh," In sleepy irritation. "How do
you expect me to sleep If your're going
to talk half the night?"

announced his intention of bringing him

''Well, of course, we know you mean

slowly stroking his white beard, "but it
would be a mighty bad thing for the

"Wby, what do you mean, brother?"
the DUEzled minister asked.
"Well, parson, it's like this," the elder
explained. "There ain't a more convinc

Now, the little brown . girl was very
clever, and when she saw what she had
done she frankly said: "I have made a
fool of myself; 1 dyed my hair. I will
never do it again." '
Of course, every one knew she had dyed
her hair, but as I have met only two
women In my whole life who admitted
they did so I think she deserves praise.
After months of work the hair eventu
ally was restored to Its original color.
The restoration might have been helped
with more dyes, but the hair was in bad
condition anyhow, and it was eventually
decided to cut off the greater part of It
and wait patiently until it grew out its
natural' brown color,
During the hair dyeing process my
little girl had been a source of real
humiliation to her family and her
hair had been an eyesore to all
who looked at her, because she had the
clear, oilve complexion that went with
her own color of hair, and, of course,
once the scarlet locks sppeared she
bad to paint and powder In order to
overcome this ghastly looking com

hair to change the color of It you have
to aid your complexion, which was in

That Is why the girl with dyed hair
never looks quite respectable.
Hair that Is touched up Is never
healthy, and the bleached or henna
tresses become very dry and. brittle, lose
their natural wave and the gloss, which
Is the chief attraction of healthy hair.

healthier hair she must discard the idea

Girls with drab hair should be very

the drab shades should be washed
