THE HKE: OMAHA. SUNDAY. APRIL SO. 1922.
The Married Life of
Helen and Warren
"Now, juit Iran lack n4 rIa
c'rt going to have rrttful dr in
tht country. You don't know how
much iicxxj itlt da you," miliuc4
Mrs, Richard.
"Yet. it's an ideal day (or it."
inurmund Helen, at thrjf whirled by
group o( farm cottaget U-Ving with
Sunday languor in the radiant morn-
log.
'By Jingo, we forgot to bring tlut
naHlutk lor the duck lioue!" Mi.
Richard! aierrrd sliarply to avoid a
ltfiing roaditer.
"Ducks? firt any water on your
plaref akrd Warren.
"We've got everything on that
place! A pond, two spring, and a
urin of wood i that beati any park.
Ueen offered SS.ixaJ profit since we
bought it. Hut I wouldn't sell it at
any price."
"Sell it? I should think we
wouldn't e1l it." exulted Mn,
Richard. It a exactly what weve
always wanted. The tnot wonder
fully built huel And the floor
and woodwork you never saw uch
woodwork!" ,
For the rrt of the 40-mile drive,
both Mr. and Mr. Richard kept up
a stream of eulogies over the sur
passing advantage of their new
country home.
"There, right through thooe tree!
That's it!"
"That doe look attractive." Helen
forced an mthuiast!c note at the
gliime of a red-tiled roof.
"Thit it our ground. It begin at
thi fence, goes wav back beyond
thoe wood and 4(10 feet on the
road. Now you can re the house!"'
A they turned in at the drive, Helen
beuan her murmured "How attrac
five I What a wonderful place! You
were fortunate"
"Wait till you see inside! You've
never seen such a well built houe.
Isn't that a lovely big porch? So,
Frank, drive around front I want
them to see that doorway first.
There, don't you love those colonial
columns?"
When Mr. Richards unlocked the
front door and ushered them in.
Helen's first impressions were not
propitious. The ceilings were low
and the rooms rather small, yet she
kept tip an effusive stream of lauda
tory comments.
"How attractive! I always like a
center hall. Oh, what wonderful
rooms 1"
"Look at this woodwork and the
floors I They're like this all over the
house. He spent over $5,000 on the
floors alotje" vaunted Mr. Richards.
The place, littered with paint and
oil can;, was in the throes of re
pairs. A carpenter's table and some
keg of platter were the only far
Ul.llillS.
Jn the drawing room and library,
the view, the sunlight, the mantel,
the window, the doorway, even the
tan door-knob, had to be ful.ome-
ly admired, .
"Isn't this an Ideal dining room?"
g'owed Mr. Richard. "Jsee how
the un stream in I It's tunny all
the year round. And look at the
iluna clooeur
"Ye. I like them built in, ap
proved Helen. "You won't need
much furniture in thi room," pleased
at varying her adulation by thit di
cerninjr remark,
"That' what 1111 Frank. Did
you notice thit expensive beamed
cciIiiib?" i
"Yet, and what a nice big fire
piece." Helen felt he was doing
better.
"Kr-r, yes," with evident emhar
riktmrnt. "Hut that't not a real fire
place there int any chimney. J
suppose they didn't want the dirt."
"It doe make a lot of dirt," hast
ily, to retrieve her unfortunate ob
servation, "Now. here's my butler's pantry.
Lot of shelf room. We're putting In
a refrigerator that'll make our own
Ice. And isn't thi a big, beauti
ful kitchen? It's to be painted white
with blue and white linoleum.
We've ordered an electric range
and one of thote white enameled
cabinet."
"You'll have a wonderful kitchen T
Helen wat exhausting her variation
of praise.
"Now, let's go down in the cellar,"
opening a door on a narrow stair
wav. Helen forced a rapt admiration
over the furnace, the hot water heat
er, and the bewildering ramifications
of pipe that webbed the low ceiling.
While Mr. Richards was proudly
explaining to Warren the intricaclea
of the new heating plant, Helen was
enthusing over the "laundry" a cor
ner of the basement fitted up with
porcelain tubs brought down from
the kitchen.
"And we can dry the clothes down
here when it rains. That's the beauty
of a big basement. Be careful, don't
get against that paint."
"Hello, many birds-of-prey around
here?" Warren poked his cane at a
stack of rusty window screens.
'Mosauitoes? i hey say we may
have a few," Mr. Richards ad
mitted reluctantly, "but not until the
end of the summer. Now, we'll go
upstairs."
Ud two flights of back stairs to
the second floor where Helen knew
she must again marshal all her lauda
tory adjectives for the bedrooms and
baths.
"Isn't In L1y big hall? I'm
1 going to hat an antique !(ft here.
Now, thi it uiy room over the d n
ing room. And 1 get alt thi tunT
"I h it charming room," guh4
Helen.
"And here' Frank' room. UVve
the bath between v and be ha
thete two great big closets!
"Ye, you liv to much closet
room. I envy vou that."
"Ihere're ttventeen elot In thU
houte." exultantly, "I must how ju
my .linen clotet her in the hall,"
opening a cupboard of (helve.
The gue.t't suite eame next. When
that had been sufficiently admired
they were taken up to the third
toot.
Helen felt unequal to any more
laudation, but the managed a lew
mumbled tribute to the maid
room and bath, the store room iu
tht rear and the proposed den and
billiard room in front.
"Don't yon think It't an excep
tionally wel -planned house r de
manded Mr. Richard of Warren, a
he and her husband now joined them,
"It't all right." curtly, rebellion
at thi forced adulation.
"You ought to get away from the
city, Curtis. I tell you it weart on
your nerve in time. The place next
door' for ate."
"Most place next door are for
tale." grinned Warren. "My nerve
are pretty fair and I'm pot keen on
commuting."
"Weve the uctt train service
around New York. Just 10 minute
from the nation. I m at my office
in an hour from the time I leave
the breakfast table. Now. we'll
thow yon the barn and garage and
our chicken house!"
Out in the yard, for a moment
Helen walked ahead with Warren.
"Dear. I don t think Us such a
wonderful house." in a cautious
whisper. "The rooms are to small
and why are they so crazy about
the woodwork.'
"Huh, he's been handing out a lot
of bunk about it being so well-
built all by day s work. Looks
like cheap speculative building Mo
me.
"Did you notice those bath rooms?
The cheapest kind of fixtures!"
"And he wanta to land me with
(he place next daorl Wouldn't livt
iu tint CJ'forkc neck of tht
wood if they'd give me the whole
country H
"SU'th!" Theii, a Mr. Richard
approached. "Such an attractive
garilrn!"
"Ye. Un't tlut a perfect bo
hedge? Those hlactll soon b a tna
of bloom. And lhee Japanese
nuplrs are very valuable. A land
scat gardner said we couldn't pttt
in iho thrubbery on thi place (or
ts,"ir
The Urn, the garage, and the
chicken hou.e Inspected and uncrti-
ou.ly lauded, they were next taken
through the orchard. Here, Mr,
Richard expatiated on hi Wine
tap applet. Ilartlett pear and Free
stone pcachr.
Now, well go on up through the
woods. We've got 10 acre of the
finest wood anywhere around. The
timhrr alone it worth ever fS.0001"
For the next hour they trudged
through marshy thicket. Helen,
new tired, hot and flush, thought
longingly of a cool restful Sunday
at home.
"Now, you can grt a good view of
the house from here grounds and
all."
"You've a wonderful place." Helen
no longer tried to vary her applause.
"And isn't that a good looking
garage? We're going to put two
loom and a bath over that for the
chautfetir. And right there at the
end of the garden 1 want a little sum
mer houe. Wont that be an Ideal
spot for it?"
"Ideal!" repealed Helen, w-iuinff
her mud-caked thoet on a clump of
grass.
When, a moment later, Mr. Rich
ard, paused to help hit wife detach
her veil from a thorny bush, Helen
managed a whispered.
''Dear, if I have to praise anything
else I'll scream 1 Do we have to1
keep thit up all day?" ,
"You bet w do!" grunted War
ren, grunly. "And all tht way back,
That't what they brought ut out
for. We've got Id praue everything
from the china ciig in the chicken
coop id tht knocker on the front
doorf"
"Uut I have! I've said everything
w. wonderful, wonderful' until I'm
sick of the word."
"Ad they exct you to keep en,
Re.tful day!" with a snort, "My
Ihroat't tore trying to taw It on
thick enough to tun 'rui. They're
all ahke one they buy a shack in
the country, they think It't the

"h-h, they'll bear youT Then.
with simulated iutcietr, a the Rich
ard jamed them, "Where did you
My you're going to build that turn

"At tht end of the grape arbor,"
eagerly. "We'll have runic benchrt
along that walk and Uter, jut be

And once more Helen wearily
forced her adulatory, ftuif, ever
