Married Life of Helen and Warren ’ A Neighborly Evening of Bridge Is Followed by a Humiliating Disclosure. "I should’ve trumped that club," regretted Helen. "But I thought you had the Jack." "Don’t know what made you think It!" Warren gathered up the cards. "Had to take the nine spot with the king. Well, Alilrich, how do we stand?" "Let’s see, we had honors In that last hand.” Mr. Aldrich was adding up the score. "That makes us 455." "Then we owe you the munificent sum of 70 cents. That right?” "That’s what I make it," laughed Aldrich. “No, dear; Just leave the table there. We’ll have something to drink.” "I’ve Just been admiring this old box." purred Mrs. Aldrich as Helen entered the library with the tray. "Yes. that has a tiny secret drawer —just touch that spring underneath,” placing the tray on the card table. “I got that In Amsterdam." "Oh, that’s adorable! And here’s another! I love these 'old mahogany boxes. You really have more than your share." "Yes, I’ve a weakness for boxes. Every time we go to Europe we bring back 'two or three. "No, thank you, no cake for me." • Mrs. Aldrich accepted a glass jf .punch. “It looks delicious but I can’t have anything starchy." 2It "I can," Mr. Aldrich helped him ■ self. "This is too good to pass up." "That's an interesting old needle - Work picture," Mrs. Aldrich, sipping her punct, glanced appraisingly . i. About. £*T; "Yes, I got that in Putney—just '.outside of Londop,” glowed Helen. t'The quaintest old shop! I spend all Lr m>' time in the antique shops when I? .We're abroad.” ;>•; "It must be very fascinating. Do U.. you go over often?" "Oh, yes. quite often,” always eag „ er to expatiate on their European .'trips. "Mr. Curtis goes on business. Now Pussy Purr Mew, get down! You won't eat cake.” "That's a beautiful Persian. Did you get her in Europe, too?" Helen glanced •tfp quickly. Was there a sarcastic note in Mrs. Al drich's voice? "Oh. no. I shouldn't think of try ing to bring over a cat." refilling their glasses. “But we try to bring over a few antiques. I do so love old English furniture—we. brought that Sheraton bookcase over several years ago.” "Oh. you did?" btt£ without the ad miring enthusiasm Helen expected. • "I'm partial to Italian furniture. It's strange what a difference furnish ings make. You wouldn't believe our apartment was exactly like this, larger, somehow." "Do you think so?" Helen bristled Inwardly. "It didn't Impress me that way.” “It's your large bookcase that takes up so much room. We've our desk there—and our long Italian table just fits between those windows. Have you ever noticed the carving on that table?" "I think I have,” cnncled Helen, vaguely. "It’s very attractive." "Shove over that cake," interrupt ed Warren. "Yes, Indeed I will." Mr. Aldrich stopped talking bonds long enough to accept another slice. "Why it's almost 12. Robert, we must go! We've had such an inter rating evening. You d better come up soon and win back that 70 cents." On the way out s'.:, paused to ex amine an old Pembroke table in the hall. "I've an Italian chest here. It makes a very < ffectlve hall piece— with just those two Chinese vases. Did you notice those vases?" "I know so little about oriental ■ things," evaded Helen. "I've haad several connoisseurs ex amine them—they say they're very fine. They ought to lie, they cost enough. Well, good night. Come up any evening you feel like playing." The Aldrichs gone, Helen started to straighten up. "Dear, don't you want a little more of this punch? Which was your glass? It won't keep." "Then pitch it out! Not going to drink it to save It! Punk stuff— sak.sh sweet. Get me a glass of wa ter.” * "Maybe I didn’t put enough lemon in It. But he was crazy about the cake.” '“Mighty nice fellow. Aldrich. Plays a good game, too.” "I don’t care so much for her. Did you hear what she said about our apartment? How different It looks' from theirs? I should hope It does: Their things are expensive enough, but they're all reproductions. And all that Chinese stuff she's mixed in! Don't you think It’s hideous?" "Never noticed," yawned Warren. "WTiere’s the key to this clock?" "In that luster vase where It al ways Is, The way she spoke of that table! Why It no more compares with ours! And she kept talking about what things cost.” "Huh, you did soms pretty tall blowing yourself,” as he wound the clock. "But I didn’t says anything about prices. That sounds so ordinary. Oh, here’re her glasses! That’s too bad. I'd better take them right up." "Send them up In the morning!” grouched Warren. 'Tret's get to bed." "No, she might need them. I'll take them up now. I won't he a minute." Out In the hall, Helen, deciding the stairs would be quicker than the ele vator, ran up the two flights to the 10th floor. By the kitchen door, at the top of the stairs, stood the Aldrichs’ maid, saying goodnight to a ruddy youth. Not wishing to interrupt the linger ing leave taking. Helen passed on to the front door, thinking Mrs, Aldrich would open it herself. But It was the maid, still flushed and glowing, who answered her ring. "Mrs. Aldrich left her glasses. I thought she might nerd--" Helen started back in alarm as a bull terrlef shot past them* out Into' the hall. "Buster, Buster!" cried the maid. "Come hack hero! Buster! Buster!" dashing after him down the stairs. Helen, nt the open door, hesitated Then stepping inside, she laid the. glasses on the "Italian chest" by one of the haunted Chinese vvases. No they might be knocked off. She had better give them to Mrs. Aldrich. A light shown from the library. She passed on in—then stopped sunddenly. Mrs. Aldrich’s voice was chilly arrest ing. ——Always ranting uuuui gening things abroad! You'd think no one else had ever been to Europe. And none of her things are good—just a lot of stuff she's picked up cheap." A base mumble from Mr. Aldrich. "Everything they have she got in 'London' or ‘Paris,' or 'Amsterdam.' Wouldn't surprise me if she got most of it at some east side junk shop. And those old samplers and needle work pictures she’s hung all over the place—they look so messy. I'd much rather have a few good paintings like ours. I didn’t realize how well our apartment looks until I saw there's. / Her faee aflame, her hands gripping the glasses Helen stood in the hall. "Did you see in the bedroom? Well, I wish you had! They've got an old bed in there—said she got it In Edin burgh. You couldn't give me one of those old wooden beds—they're not sanitary! And did you notice that table In the hall? You could hardly wedge by it. She hasn't the least idea about arranging things—but she thinks she has." ■ "Yes, I'll get ready right now. I didn't want to stay so late, hut .she kept talking. Where's Buster? You'd better see that he's shut up in the kitchen.” "We'll never, never have them down here again! And we'll never go up there! I'm through with the AM riehs!” "Eh? What're you hittin' the ceil ing about now? Throw these „ ces away—not worth mending.” “She was talking about us! The things she said—the horrid catty things!” How'd you .happen to hear her?" sternly. ’Listening in?” “I couldn't help but hear. She's too deeltful for words! After gush ing over everything when she was down here—she said the place looked dreadful—that I'd no taste—and that we'd only a lot of old junk!" Iiad her hammer out, eh?” he shrugged. "Well, what of it?” "To pretend to be friends—then talk about you like that!” "What about you?” thrusting bis wallet under his' pillow. “You were doing a solo on the, anvil yourself— resisting nil l.er Chinese stuff ' "Yes, but that was different—” "Not such a darned sight different! Bet Aldrich didn’t do'any knocking.” "He muttered something—4 couldn't hear. Be he didn't Ray much.” "I didn't criticise her.” protested Helen excitedly. ‘ I only said—" “You only said she'd rotten taste, hef rooms looked punk, her stuff was phony, and that she was a blowerand an all-around bounder. Here, the string's out of these pajamas, (let me another pair. And stop chewing the rag about Mrs. ■ Aldrich—as a hammer slinger she s not got much on you!" . -- Next week—“Wnrren at a Charity Bazar.” STEINWAY “The Instrument of the Immortals' The Steinway is the piano all great artists turn to for expressing their musical ability and music lovers all over the world are turning to this wonderful in strument.
