Well, It Isnt so awfully funny, because I work there, and people do seem rather to remember me if theyve seen me once. Mary Helen gave Georgine the sweetest of smiles. Where was It, In the hotel at lunch? Because I know you werent in the office! CHAPTER VII It was not so simple to get back to sleep. Georgine lay for a while, rooking Into the quiet darkness ind giving herself a stern fight ? talk. What, after all, was the An old woman had died, peacefully enough, four years ago n this house. Everyone seemed to teel for reasons that had not yet that her death fully appeared lad been hastened. Well, what of It? Everything had been serene enough ever since, it was serene low. And yet ETnder that serenity there was 's lomething unfathomed; Nella nervousness, for Instance, which went deeper than the normal night fears of a timid woman; without seeing it, you felt her driven and haunted by some kind of furies. She had talked for a while with her guests, after they returned from the doctor's. Horace end Mary Helen would never have been living In her home, she conveyed, if old Judge Tillsit hadn't wished it so strongly commanded It, was a better phrase. Was It all a question of money, or was something queer behind it? Hollas mouth had curved in a very odd smile when she said, The Judge is more than kind to me." Todd hadnt been able to resist it. "A lile less than kin, and more than kind," he murmured. Nellas reserve of manner had deepened. "1 le'd see to it, of course, that I wasnt in actual want. You have seen all the food he sends in from the farm, butter and cream and bacon and chickens anything else I must have is just about covered by the childrens board money, of course I can't take much from them. Oh, they wouldn't let me starve. It wouldnt look well. But if Gilbert and I couldn't scrape up the money to pay the taxes I dont know just what would happen to the house." AH its contents were willed to him, you said, Georglne had mentioned. Yes. I could sell something, perhaps, if I had permission from him.

She is helping me with some work I have in mind. As a sort of return favor, shes asked me to let her know ht took out his cigarettes and offered them to Mary Helen, with deliberation just why it is that anyone should suspect her husband of murder. Her hand paused halfway toward the package; her lips unclosed In stupefaction. My God, said Mary Helen in a whisper. She didnt she told you that? Why not? Oh nothing. Nothing, except that it seems like, well, giving her- self unnecessary pain. Ive thought of that. I shall try to temper it if I find out anything "At Bertrams; Isnt that the at all, which I doubt, since Im no kind of investigator at all ; I just jewelers name? Oh. Oh, yes.

Barby started talking of the attic, almost as soon as she got up, in tones of keen anticipation. She said I could look in all the old trunks," she reported. Mrs. Peabody said, Georglne corrected patiently. Well, anyw ay, she said there were lots of old things up there, and I could dress up. Mamma, can I do it today? Oh, no, cornin to play. Well, if she doesnt come, you know what Im goin to do, Mamma? Im goin up there I promise not to go on the little porch, honest I do. That morning Mary Helen Jefferson Crane came home. She came up the walk with an extraordinary gait, halfway between trucking and a walk, and she seemed to be humming a song. Georgine, standing well back from the window of her room and observing this arrival, knew at once that she had seen this girl before. It was something about the walk that was it; this was the young woman who had been talking to the jeweler yesterday noon. Barby followed her gaze and rushed to the window. She stood gazing for a moment. Then, her voice almost breaking, she deIs that Cousin Dykes manded, girl? Hush, Barby, she might hear I think it must be. She ?mu! Yes, as if she might be lots of fun, dont you see that? Come on, darling, well have to go down, she said gently. You want to meet her, you know. They heard her voice coming up from the foot of the stairs. Hullo, Nell. I brought some things home from Marge's to be washed, see to it, will you? And I dont believe I'll be home for dinn Oh! There were sounds of Introduction. Oh, not really! said Mary Helen with emphasis. Oh, why didn't I know that? Dyke talked so much about you, Mr. McKinnon, and I was just crazy to meet you, and here I have to go and waste the whole week-end- , what luck for me you stayed over! I just cant tell you how thrilled I ara to meet you. Her eyes swept upward and met those of Georgine and Barby, .who were halfway down the stair-'casOh, that must be your fiancee, isnt It, and that darling little kiddie he told me about? .You just cant imagine what a surprise this is! I could simply kick myself for missing so much of your visit How do you do, 'Mrs. Wyeth. And whats your (name, sweetie? Barby? What a e. i perfect darling you are! I must She swooped have a hug! FRIEND of mine who operates on a very limited clothes budget tells me that she spends very little on things such as gloves, purses and belts. Looking at her, however, one finds it hard to believe. What, then, is the secret? Theres no secret to it at all, I simply she goes on to explain. make my own or renovate the things I have, copying the new fashions faithfully. You see I like to buy. good basic clothes and add new, fashionable touches to them." Actually its a very simple matter to do this, particularly if you are a bit thrifty and fashionwise. And, whats more, it takes less time to whip up a belt out of an old piece of felt or grosgrain or a bag, than it does to make a dress. One of the things I always remember about this particular friend of mine is that her white bags and gloves always appear immaculate even in the warmest, sultriest weather. Her trick? "Well," she explains, "I have one inexpensive pouch bag for which there are three or four covers. I make these at home they take less than half an hour to sew together, and then I always have a fresh one to slip over the bag Itself. This might suggest that you could make "slipover covers for some of your other bags as the material or leather on them becomes too frayed to lock attractive. Use contrasting colored woolens, for example and have both gloves and bag to match. A Western Newspaper Union.

You would not have believed that one young woman could have made herself so omnipresent, so constantly heard without being noisy; that any one person could have changed the tempo of the household from cool placidity to something almost feverish. Ah, said Todd benignly, meeting Georgine in the hall before lunch, what it is to have a bit of life in the house. Ah, youth! She regarded him coldly. Going into your grandfather act, are you? Practicing up. Mary Helen has suggested a private interview. Ill confess, said Todd, looking more wooden than she had thought possible, that I'm terrified.

Im disaphe repointed in my nephew, marked sadly. Dyke's all right, said Georglne. Maybe, for once, I know him better than you do. Mary Helen took him, as befitted the serious tone of their talk, into the seldom-use- d parlor across the hall from the sitting room. She flung open one of the windows in the bay, and pushed hack the outer shutters to let the sun pour in. Todd looked at Mary Helen Crane with sudden attention. Was it because hed seen her only in comparative dimness before, and the clear light changed the angles of her face, or was it that her expression was different? The very tone of her voice was deeper. It startled him. She said with cool directness, You don't want to know about Dyke and me, do you?
