The Married Life of Helen and Warren

favorite home monthly.

Darning Balls," "Save Your Used
"Phonograph Needles to- Clean

- 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.
"They'd never put that quality of
plush in a bag." '
"Yep, that's a good stunt. Fine,
way to use up the old lid," impatient
to get back to his work.
"And you!re4 always poking fun it
these -economy hints in that maga
zine. You see how practical this
was? It more than pays for a year's
subscription." '
"Huh, bet that's the first sensible
thing you ever got out of it. What
was that you read the other day
How to Make a Card Case Out of a
Sardine Can?"
"You know it wasn't."
"Well, almost as bad.Then with a
trin. "Gild Your Husband's Gear
Butts," as he tossed one into the
tray, "And Make a Nobby Picture
Frame,".- ' ..: ". .. . . ., J
"Wasn't ! lucky this top just fit's?"
her enthusiasm ignoring his scoffing
humor, ."And I love this gold stamp
in the lining. "Look, dear, 'By Royal
Appointment to H. M.; the King."
"Eh? What's that?" explosively.-
"Why, I used the white satin lin
ing and this was in the top," show
ing him the stamp, "Hunt, Grimm &
Co."
"Hunt, Grimm ' & ' Co. " shouted
Warren, . J'What the ,helL have you
done?"; :' ' '." .V .'. ,
Jumping up, he . snatched the de
nuded frame from the table, tum
bling out the indignant Pussy Purr
Mew. - ......
"You monumental idiot! ; You
brainless, turnip-headeid chump. You
you" in spluttering incoherency.
"Know what you have-done?" v
A dread, sick fear, engtllfing' her,
Helen gazen at him dumbly. : - -
"That's the new hat I; bought In
London last trip."
"No, no! It can't be!" quaver-,
ingly. "It was way ' on.- the top
shelf."
"Then you put it there.", he roared.
"I bought this hat you've carved up
at Hun-Grimm's last year," shaking
at her the grotesque naked block,
Dashing into . his ' closet, Helen
dragged out his leather .hat box.
With trembling fingers she un
buckeled the straps, The lid thrown
back revealed- the- hat luxuriously
embedded iri the red velvet lining.
Wer throat tightened as she lifted
it out. .1 was the OLD hat! The
importer's " label and the slightly
soiled headband confirmed it. - -
In some incomprehensible way the
hats had been put jn the wrong
boxes.
"One of your damned ideas of
economy, thundered " Warren.
"Want to Jcnow what that little stunt
will cost? You know what I'll have
to pay for a hat like that on Fifth
Avenue?
But Helen had dropped on the
floor by the leather case in a huddled,
tearful heap. . . ,
What II you do next make a sofa
pillow out of my dinner coat? Won
der that, blooming magazine hasn't
told you to use my silk muffler for a
dish rag and save ten cents."' .'
Helen was sobbing her abject hys
terical contrition. , .
"There, take your damn bag!" ' as
he flung it on the floor beside her.
"And your fool magazine, too." fling
ing it after the bag. "Maybe you
can dig out some more economy
stunts. But you keep 'em for' your
own duds you leave MINE alone!
Don t you ever touch a shoestring
that belongs to me!"1
