It was her third day In bed w'th tb "flu, and Nora, sullenly resent rul of the extra work, had neglected the whole apartment. "Dear, do write a note to Mrs. 0Grady to come tomorrow Just to clean." "Here, what's the use of my read lug to you? Not listening to a word." 1 cant, with everything In such a mess. Just look in the library!" r'slng on her elbow to peer through the door. "What you need's a nurse to keep you In bed. If you're not better by tomorrow, you're going to have one," grimly. "Now. doar. that's perfectly absurd BY MABEL HERBERT I'BJVER, rm better today. It wouldn't hurt me a bit to get up and straighten around." "Well, you're not going to," as he stalked in to answer the telephone. Through the closed door Helen could hear only his Indistinct mum ble. "Carrie's In town, spending the day with mother," briskly, when he strode back. "She's coming up to see you a - few minutes before church." "Carrie!" dismayed Halen. "You didn't say she could come?" "Why notr "With .everything in this muss? I'll have to get up and straighten." "You stay right where you are. What's got to be done? I'll call Nora "No, no, she'll be furious. She's sulky enough now." "Well, what d'you want done? Spill It out and I'll do rt." "First, get some clean cases for these pillows. They have o be changed anyway before the docter comes. In the hail cloBet the third shel." "Here you are," Warren slammed down a pile of linen on the bed. "These are dresser scarfs! Dont get them rumpled. I said the third shelf." "Nothing but sheets," he called frcm the hall. "Look back of the sheets. Don't get them all unfolded!" Helen con trolled her impatience. "Bring two iinen ones they're hemstitched." - But it was the plain cotton cases that he brought. ' HELEN AND WARREN Rooms, While Husband Tries to Newspapers. "I told you hemstitched but those will do," resignedly. "Put these In the clothes hamper," giving him the rumpled cases she had already taken off. "Now you lie back -here III put 'em on. How's that?" eyeing the pillow which -he had crammed in all askew. ''Well, what's the diff? Now what next?" "Get me a fresh nightgown and I'll fix myself while you dust. The bot tom drawer of my dresser the one with the val lace and pink ribbons." A moment later he tumbled a pile of lingerie on the bed. "You fish it out. All got pink ribbons all look alike to me." "These aren't nightgowns they're combinations and camisoles. I told you the bottom drawer. Dont bring thefn all the one with the val lace." "How the devil ani I to know val lace?" as he stalked 'back to the room adjoining, which Helen used as a dressing room. - "And bring my comb, hand-glass and powder box," she called after him. "Dolling up Just for Carrie!" he snorted when he returned with the toilet articles on top of a pile of nightgowns. "Put these back smoothly," tak'ng out one of the gowns.' "Now get a dust cloth from the pantry and the carpet sweeper. She didn't touch the han." "How d'you know? You can't see the halL" "No, but I heard her. I listened. &he didn't do a thing in the hall." TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 8, PICTORI ALLY PRESENTED BY DARLING Sooth Irritation by Heading Sport "Now what?" when he appeared with the dust cloth and sweeper. "Dust in here first she'll notice this room most. Do clear off this table. Take that glass and spoon Into the bathroom. And that old kimona hang that o'ut of sight and get my silk one. What's that on that chair? Dear, you didn't even out away your own clothes. "Just give me time. Can't do everything at once." "She'll be here in a few moments. You haven't done a thing!" Never adept about the bouse, to day Warren surpassed himself in his awkward helplessness. He could find nothing, he knew how to do nothing, and he oould remember nothing she told him. He drove her wild with his Incessant: "Where d'you say this goes? What cKyou want done wit-h this?" "It'd be easier to get up and do it myself. No, no, that's an evening gown! I told jrou my silk kimona. You've seen me wear it a thousand times. It's not way back right in front. And those old slippers don't let Carrie see them. Throw them in the closet and bring me my rose satin mules." "Mules r "Oh, you know what they are bedroom slippera You're trying to be ignorant. They're right there in the shoe bag. You can't miss them." The dainty mules placed conspicu ously by the bed so Carrie could not fail to see them, the silk kimona had to be draped effectively over a chair. "2iow lover; those ahadest I look , giiastly In this strong light," view ing herself in the hand-glass. "Now never mind your mug," as he Jerked down the shade. "That enough?" "A little more to hide that dust under the table. Brush that chair it's covered with Pussy Purr-Mew's fur. Get a whisk broom. Now straighten the library and lower the awnings the darker it is the better It'll look." Warren had hardly started on the library when the bell rang. "That's her now!" called Helen tn a fluttering panic "Quick, come take these things!' thrusting at him the hand-glass and powder box. "Now don't get fussed np over Carrie," with maddening delibera tion. "Shut the bathroom door and close that closet. Don't let her go in the front room I don't know how thin'gs look In there." "Yes, ma'am, you can go right in," came Nora's voice from the hall. "WelCof all things, Helen! What's the matter with you?" was her sister-in-law's greeting a she flounced in. "You're not really sick?" "The doctor seems to think, so, exasperated by her first remark. "What's the trouble? Nerves?" "He says it's flu," averting her face from Carrie's critical scrutiivy.- "Oh, they always say that when they don't know what's the matter. You still have Dr. Kelly? I never did think he was much good. Hello, Warren." as her brother entered. "My, you've got it dark in here. Put up those awnings! "Now don't you start shooting or ders. Helen's kept me trotting all morning." Then with a grin, "We put down the awnings to hide the diet." , "Helen, you don't mean you re without a maid again T" maliciously. "No, brut she can t do everything, resentfully. "And I can't get up." "Oh. that cat!" as Pussy Purr-Mew jumped up on the' bed and settled down la purring contentment. 1922 "Really, Helen, yon do the weirdest things. You eay you're sl-ck, yet you let that cat Just full of germ He on your bed." "We've had Pussy Purr-Mew a long time and she hasn't Infected ug yet," def ended Helen. "She's boo ful and clean. She's always bathing .herself." "Hm-m. if that's your Idea of cleanliness! Warren, you'd better close that window," Instructed his sister. "That make a draft right on her.". "Oh, no. I Hke It." protested Helen. "I never get enough air." "You're one of those fresh air fiends who're always sick. Fad-s are all right if they keep you well but yours don't. No, put It all the way down." "I didn't know I was always Brick." flamed Helen. "I think I keep quite as well as you do. It's the first time I've been in bed for months-!" "Well, you're always complaining and that's Just as bad. But I nrasn t stay Til be late for chvrch. Now, hurry np and get well and come out wsxt Sunday. A day in the country 11 do you good. How about it. War ren?" "WrT3 see how she ret along." "Keep her out of drafts! And I wouldn't have that oat on the bed. WelL good-by. Let me know If there's anything I can do." As Warren went with his sister to the elevator, Helen caught her further shrill admonitions unta the hall door closed. Burying her face in the pllkw, ehs tried to force back the agitated hos tility that Carrie always aroused. Even when ohe was well this in flamed antagonism was baneful, and now that she was til. it was poison ous. When Warren strode back she emit up, flushed and tremulous.

"I was all right this morning and I'm all feverish now." "Then lie down and be quiet. Jove, yon are hot." feeling her forehead.

She had to criticise everything even lusy Purr-Mew." "There, there, now, no sense work ing yourself all up." ' "Well, open that window and give me Pussy Purr-Mew.
