Creator of "Helen and Warren" Characters..... , - ! , Warren's Silk Hat Falls a Victim to Helen's Insatiable Economy., ' "WWK 4n ever-rnnvemen fc ;riair-nin. Helcn opened the last number of her favorite home monthly. lenoritisr the insioid nretty-Kirl cover, she scanned the illustrations of of "His Butterfly ; Wife," the new three-part saccharine serial.

Hot Water Bags," "Your Burnt-out Electric Light Bulbs Make Excellent Darning Balls," "Save Your Used "Phonograph Needles to- Clean Bottles." - It was the last item that interested Helen most: , , vYour husband s old silk hat will make a beautiful handbag. Great care must be taken in removing the . niaricl T f !9 nqetArt rwot- tVi Klrtflr and must be pulled off gently with . out tearing. Just the shape for a bag, it needs only, to be lined and mounted." -- "Dear, just a moment, do listen to it. I I Ia. " "Um-um." trrunted . Warren, with out looking up from the bank book- he was balancing. - "You bought that new silk hat in London you'll never wear your old one. Can t 1 . ' Go ahead, I don't want it," curt ly. "Thought you'd given it away." "I didn't know anyone to give it to. The elevator boy doesn't need a silk hat. It'll make a wonderfu.1 bag! I'll get it down right now." A rainy evening with . Warren working on his books was an ideal time for just such a homey task. Not daring to disturb him to get down the hat, Helen dragged the step ladder chair to the hall closet. Even then the top shelf was beyond her reach, but with his cane she poked down the high round box. Yes, ft would make a wonderful bag! Exultantly she held up the gleaming silk hat That satiny plush was the finest texture. "Dear, it looks so new it seems a pity to cut it up," smoothing the gtossy surface as she , ran into the library. "No use to me," scowling over a lire of figures. "What do I want with two silk hats?" . . " "It's awfully good -looking on you," playfully setting- it on his head. "You look like Lord Some body m an English play,' viewing. mm. admiringly. "Here, stop your monkeying! Get busy ancl don t bother me. - Bringing in her sewing basket, Helen settled by the library tabic. But even with the scissors in her hand, he hesitated to cut into that lustrous expensive hat. ' Why had he bought another when this lokcd so new? But he wore a high hat so little, tire shape went out of style. , Compared to ' the mercurial changes in feminine millinery, men's hats were most stable. Yet as War ren had had this before, they were married, it must be passe now. Determinedly she thrust her scis sors under the band. ,lt was not gros-grain ribbon as on a derby. It was broadcloth a band of dull-finished broadcloth to bring out the sheen of the hat. , "It does seem a shame!" her scis sors still poised. "I wonder if there isn't someone we could give it to?" An impatient snort from Warren overcame her reluctance. Ruthlessly, she ripped off the broadcloth band. "There, you can have that to play with!" draping it - around Pussy Purr-Mew,- who sat on the table gravely watching the work of de molition. ' .' - Next, -the scissors pried up tTie edge of the fine silk plush. . Firmly pasted over the. block, it took halt an hour" to peel it off. '"Look dear! I got it all off with out tearing it once. See, it's just the shape of a bag. .And this white satin isn't a bit soiled," examining the in side of the new denuded hat "I'm going to use that for the lining." "Sixty-three, 71, 80, 87." Warren, adding aloud, sternly rebuked her interruption. ..... ,. ' Ripping out the inner band, its faint leather odor and perforated init ials, "W. E. C," brought back a thrilled memory. It was the first time he had called to take her to the theater. In love with him even then, as he waited in the drawing room, she had paused at. tne nan table to flutter over his hat with its impressive initials. She had even sniffed at the leather band and at the cigary fragrance of his gloves. The band now ripped out, she gazed at it wistfully. It was such soft lovely ' leather perhaps she could use it for something. Next came the-white satin lining with the gilt-lettered name and crest of the maker. Helen was fascinated by that expensive looking crest. It would add distinctiveness to the lin ing of her bag. "I've got it now," exploded War ren. "Had f27 too much. Been over the blamed thing three times and couldn't find it a check here that I hadn't deducted." "Now. can vou ' look?" easterly. ''See how wonderfully this is coming out! And that silver top on my old bead bag I think it 11 just fit. "Fine!" in genial,.: good humor, since he had located his error. Hav ing the time of your. life, eh?" "Yes,' I love to do anything like this. Oh, do look at Pussy Purr Mew! She's too cunning for words." . Curled up inside the devastated hat, Pussy Purr-Mew gazed blandly out at them, awaiting their admiring. attention. ' The lining finally sewed in, Helen got out the silver top. A moment's anxious suspension as she measured it. Exactly' the right sire. The bag wsis going to be a great success. - . With her passion for utilizing old things-. Helen was purnngly happy Nothing brought Jier greater joy than to find a use for something that would otherwise be thrown away. She had three old . pillow cases filled with odds and ends- of tnnv mings, lace and ribbons. Junk, War ren called it. Yet she loved to rum mage through them and think how some day she could use this or that. But to make a handbag out of Warren's old silk hat was so far her supreme achievement; ; also is sug gested a new line of economic pos sibilities. . ,His wardrobe had been overlooked as a source of supply for makeovers. Why could not his old derbies be used for something? But her usual inventiveness failed her. She could think of nothing into which a derby could be' converted. The shape was bafflingly'inadaptable. "Look, dear, it's finished," tri umphantly. Didn t I do that quick? "Um-um." "Now, do stop' long enough - to look at it! Wasn't that a clever idea?", ; ' "Looks all right," t giving it ' a grudging glance. . ' "You couldn't buy one like it for any- price," with glowing elation.
