claimed by br a rush of rt dizziness It was only the second day out and it had not been rough Yet just the ships ship's vibration had brought on that sickening pressure in throat and chest She longed to get out ont to her deck chair where the theT 1 T vibration was less and the chill air freshly reviving But now Warren had insisted on having on-having breakfast in the room and not gel getting ting up until lunch The very thought of food in that small stuffy stateroom stateroom stateroom state- state room was revolting But in traveling her wishes were j never ver considered inclinations His dictated the plans for c them both This hurried business trip to Paris had come unexpectedly un- un expectedly with only three days' days notice Dreading to be bc left alone Helen had begged to go with him lIe He had ill grudgingly consented warning her that a winters winter's trip f 1 r might a not be pleasant and that she must take things as 4 She found them and not fuss A knock at her door and the bath steward announced f I that her bath was ready Tucking her hair under a boudoir cap eap Helen threw w won on her leer quilted kimono and swayed down the long white corridor She bolted d the bathroom door with a pleasant consciousness consciousness consciousness con con- that everything was spotless The huge porcelain porcelain lain Jain tub and ponderous brass faucets glittered with a recent polish On a platform was a a chair covered with witha a large Turkish towel which gave a effect The tepid sea water was stimulating and she slip slip- back to their stateroom eager to dress and get out outon outon on deck before that gnawing nausea returned The steward had just brought rought in the coffee the first instalment ent of their breakfast Warren again in in his berth was directing the placing of the tray in that tha pitcher Hot milk milkY Well VeIl well we'll want some Bream Gream And you yon can bring some rolls too too too- that toast looks pretty dry As the steward hurried off Helens Helen's services were brusquely enlisted Look under your berth there there that that shaving soap rolled off the washstand Youre not going to shave now are you Cantwe Cant Can't Cantwe we wait and let the steward get it 1 I feel a little sickish it it makes to me worse stoop Why its it's right there impatiently Just by that trunk It'll roll all over the place if you dont don't get it it now Already it had rolled far back and Helen had to drag out a suitcase and the end of the trunk before she located and fished out with an umbrella the the elusive round tin The stooping as she feared brought back the nausea Dizzily she sat down on the still protruding trunk Got it demanded Warr Warren n. n Put it there on on the rack where it cant can't roll off Now open up one of those baskets and we well we'll 11 have some fruit Hustle before he brings the omelet The baskets all steamer gifts were under Warrens Warren's berth Without getting up he could have reached over and dragged one out but he lay back in comfortable indolence Who Vho sent that as Helen took off the wrappings of the nearest one The Daltons glancing it at the card in the envelope tag And we didn't send them a thing when they sailed last spring Ill I'll have to get her something in Paris The rhe paper off exposed a closely packed jacked assortment of expensive fruit v What a wonderful bunch of grapes holding bolding up a huge ribbon tied cluster Do you want some of these Or would you yon rather have a peach Y Not No t before breakfast You can peel me an o orange ange But dear the oranges will keep We Ve ought to eat cat the others first with her usual economy Look these peaches are already soft What if they are aro 1 Im I'm not going to eat what I I dont don't want just to save it Obediently Helen started to to peel him an orange No extra plate on the tray she tore an advertising leaf from froma a magazine to receive the rind a good orange He Ho dispatched the ilia juicy quarters as she separated them Ah All here we are l approvingly as the steward entered with another tray tray tray- cream rolls and a smoking omelet Just set it there there there- well we'll serve it Helen nelen knew that this meant she would serve it for Warren had no intention of stirring from his berth She poured the coffee gave him four-fifths four of the omelet arranging it on the tho smaller tray which he could conveniently hold on his knees the real thing Takes t the lC French to m make ke kean an ome omelet let as he forked into the golden mound Light as a fe feather ther What's That's the matter Letting yours get cold Y I dont don't think I want an any f for or another sickening wave had claimed her Nonsense You get dont don't busy don't dont get an omelet like that every day Wheres Where's the butter 1 Didn't he hO bring any At a disquieting lurch of the ship Helen had dropped into her berth but now she rose to hand him th the butter from the other tray Sweet

napkin that had slid to the floor Now I tell you JOU what Id I'd like to finish off wi with with-a h a little preserves or marmalade See if there isn't some soine in that basket Again Helen forced
