Married Life of Helen and Warren '"'Warren's Keekless Purchases Enliven the Auction at a Charity Bazar. "Dear, don’t look ao cross! You’re fairly glowering,’’ protested Helen, trying to keep up with his irate strides. "Dragging ms out to this fool ba zar!" Warren’s cans prodded the side walk at every step. "Why the Sam Hill can’t you go alone?” "Not In the evening! Dear, I don’t often ask you to go anywhere; and this is for the day nursery. We ought to do something for charity.” “What's that number? 119?” scowl ing at an unllghted doorway. "No, It’s 219; on the next block,” consulting the card from hor purse: BAZAR. Gay! Glittering! Glorious! Fascinating Features Homecraft Work. Home-Made Cakes and Candies. Palm Read, Fortunes Told, Silhou ettes Cut, Grab Bag. Ice Cream Served in the Garden. Buffet Supper, $1.00. Come and Bring Tour Friends. But Warren only grunted as she read aloud the list of attractions. In the next block, several autos be fore an old-fashioned brick house pro claimed it the scene of festivities. A buzz of feminine voices as they entered the hallway, where a bulbous, green-plumed woman collected 60 cents admission. “Refreshments In the garden—right straight back," she directed. "Fortune telling and auction upstairs.” “We'll go upstairs first,” suggested Helen, her hand on the balustrade. “Let's see what they got to eat?’ Warren's interest always gravitated __‘,o food. *** “There’s a buffet supper, but you don't want it now. Aye Just had dinner.” "Mighty slim dessert that was. How about some Ice cream?” Japanese lajiterns and red and white bunting gave a festive air to the brick-paved backyard. A pretty girl in a fantastic paper cap seated them at one end of the long rough board tables and waited for tljjelr order. "Guess that'll do for us,” Warren nodded at the sign that hung from one of the lanterns, "Fresh Peach Ice Cream and Home-Made Cake, 60c.” "Dear, isn't It attractive here? Oh, look at that cunning cat!” A black cat perched on the high brick wall was viewing with blinking disapproval this backyard encroach ment. The Ice cream, served on paper plates, and the flaky cocoanut cake was delicious and really home made. “Not bad—what there was of It," when Warren had.disposed of his por ' tion and part of Helen's. "I'll wait down here," drawing out a cigar, "while you snoop around upstairs.” “Now, dear, you promised you'd go with me,” reproachfully. Grumblingly, he thrust back his cigar and followed her through the hall, up the stairs, into the long drawing room. Palm reading and fortune telling stalls seemed popular but the sale ^ booths were not so generously pa tronized. “Oh, Mrs. Curtis, I’m so glad you've come—and Mr. Curtis." A Mi’s. Greeley whom Helen knew slightly had flagged them. "I’m sure you w-ant one of these good luck charms,” picking up a rab bit’s foot from her table. “Sterling silver tip. Genuine left hind-leg of a graveyard rabbit,” she laughed. "Only $1." “IVe’ll have a look around first," evaded Helen. "We’ve Just come up." "Oh, blit you must buy this to give you luck for the rest of your pur chases. I’m sure Mr. Curtis wants one.” "Couldn’t get along without It," AVarren good naturedly gave her $1. "Why did you buy that?” Helen drew him on. "Such a useless thing. "It’s all useless!” with a con temptuous glance at the cluttering inanities always donated to bazars. "But now we're here—got to buy some of this Junk!" "We'll wait for the auction—that's why I came the last night. It’s been running three days and now they're to auction off everything that’s left.” "Have you had your fortune told? Your palm read?" one of the commit tee sensing AVarren's spending pos sibilities, pounced upon theiq. “Come right over here. Miss Grendon will tell your fortune for 60 cents.” • A young woman in a quasl-orlental gypsy costume greeted Warren smil ingly. "No, you’ll have to let me out or this. Mrs. Curtis'll take my place." “I'll tell Mrs. Curtis’ afterward. Gentlemen first In fortune telling. Cut twice, please,” placing the deck of cards before him. There was no escape. Warren sat astride the frail gilt chair, unable to get his long legs under the tiny ta ble. Dealing the cards in six piles, she croonlngly called: "Your house—yourself—your wish; what you do expect—what you don’t expect—what’s bound to come true!” The first pile, "your house." held two queens and a Jack. "Full house," she exclaimed, "Company—lots of company!" "Relatives camping on us.” grinned Warren. "Now ‘yourself,’ " she ran through the second pile. "Business, lots of business! And money! Everything good—but an accident. I see some accident here." "You’re a bit too late,” bantered Warren. "Busted my arm two months ago. How about that money? Can’t you hustle it along?” "It'll come soon. And here's a blond lady!" tapping the queen of hearts. "Is she a good looker?" winking at Helen perched on the window sill back of the 'fortune teller. "Aren't all blondes? Now make your wish,” her hand on the third pile. Then turning it up, "You get your wish—but I'in afraid not right away.” "Rotten luck," chuckled Warren. "So I must wait for that gin-rlcky?" "Attention! Attention!" A young woman was pounding a hand painted tray. "Radies and gentlemen. I m sorry there’re so few gentlemen. Our threo days' sale lias been a great success, but we still have a few choice things which we're'going to auction olT. Every cent goe* to our neighborhood Day Nursery—you'H all bid gener ously, I’m sure.” Then, holding up the tray. •’We'll start with this. Hand painted, beautiful poppy design. Marked to sell for $2. What am 1 offered?" ‘‘A quarter,” called a woman from the rear, with an apologetic laugh. “Who’ll make it fifty? Very useful —makes a nice present.” The tray, after much effort, was finally sold for 80 cents. “Now this little duster—a charming bit of color,” twirling a gilt-handled, red-feathered trinket. "Nice to dust bricabrac—or trim a hat! How much? Only 10 cents Fifteen! Twenty! Twenty-five. Sold to Mrs. Duncan for a quarter. “Jiow this lovely silk bag—for your opera glasses or evening slippers! Only thirty cents? You couldn't get the silk it's lined with for that. Forty! Forty-five!” Slowly she got the bidding up to 60 cents, where It hung until War ren called an impatient “Dollar!” “One dollar!” gleefully. "He's going to give it to his be^t girl!” “That's right,” grinned Warren, tossing it to Helen. Klated at a generous bidder, the auctioneer now directed much of her efforts to Warren, cajoling him with facetious personal remarks. His masculine egotism flattered, he ignored Helen’s restraining nudges, and bought a dust-collecting Cupid pincushion, a hairpin holder, a pink satin suit harfger and a beribboned satchet bag. She should have anticipated his careless extravagance. Why hod she not coached him in advance? “Now this beautiful lamp shade!” holding up a clumsy near-silk red shade. “Most effective! Can be used for a shade or hat,” clamping it on her hennaed hair with a coquettish glance at Warren. “How much? One dollar! One ten! One twenty! One twenty-five!” , “Two!” called Warren, disregarding Helen’s frantic signals. Among the things still to be auc tioned were a few packages of soap, baking powder and talcum that Helen coveted. But the auctioneer’s deter mination to work off first all the use less trumpery, and Warren’s indis criminate bidding, urged her to a hasty exit. “Dear, it's almost 10, and Nora didn’t take her key. I’m afraid we must go.” “Oh, don’t leave yet!” protested the auctioneer, dismayed at the departure of her best bidder. “We've some love ly things coming. Can't you stay?” But Helen laughingly shook her head and dragged Warren away. “Have you tried the grab bag? Only 25 cents! Do try your luck,” wheedled a committee woman by the door. "I’m sorry, but we haven't time.” eluded Helen. “No, we’ve about all we can carry,” as they were urged to buy some home-made fudge. “It's all been very interesting; we’ve enjoyed it so much. Good night!" Out in the sheltering darkness of the street, Helen’s fixed smile relaxed. "All those foolish, useless things! Why DID you? I kept nudging you not to.” "Couldn’t sit there like a dead one and not bid,” growled Warren. “Got to cough up at a thing like that.” "But if you'd only waited! There wertj a few things fairly good—that old-gold lamp shade. I wanted that— if it went cheap." “Got a lamp shade," punching the one under his arm. “That aw ful thing? I'll give It away Christmas. And those other senseless things you bought! They had some soap, talcum and baking powder, but I didn't dare wait, you bid so reck lessly! Kvery one else raised only 5 or 10 cents at a time. But you’d call out $1 when a thing was go ing for 50 cents!” “For charity, wasn’t It? That's why you dragged me there,” whack ing a lamp post with his cane. “You ought to be darned pleased." “But there’s no use paying more than you have to! You could’ve had that lamp shade for $1.30; you needn't have bid 2!” ' “Of all the tightwads! And you put up ‘such a howl about doing some thing for the day nursery! Fat lot you care about the day nursery! All you wanted was to get $10 worth of stuff for about 2.49. You'd play the ludy bountiful by grabbing off a lot of standard goods at less’n wholesale cost! Charity?" with a snort. “You've a heluva idea of charity!" (Copyrisht. 1933.) Next Week—A Hectic Sunday with Ills Family. Radio Means Nothing in Life of Elephant; Peanuts Only Interest By Aasodftted Prwi. London, Aug. 18.—Broadcasting may delight the human being, but it means nothing to an elephant. The other day a British broadcasting company tried to get one of the pachyderms of the London zoo, Indarlni by name, Interested In radio by having her master, Syed All. give her orders through a transmitter. Indarlni paid no attention to him, although she has known his voice since the days of her youth. Syed All shouted his commands through a loud speaker set up in the elephant's stall. He told his pet to "lie down,” "get up" and "salute,” and requested her to go through her other stunts, but she only waved her ears and continued to eat peanuts. In desperation, the broadcasters sent a waltz over the radio, but In darlni Ignored It. Her feet never moved; her massive shoulders remain ed still. Only her Jaws were rhyth mic, and the peanuts wete responsible for that. Woman Recovers Rings She Sent With Laundry St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 18.—When Mrs. Janies K.
