My Marriage Problems Adel* Garrison's New Phase of “Revelations of a Wife’’ (Copyright 1922) How Dicky Vainly Tried to Make I p With Madge. "Are you comfortable?'' Dicky asked courteously, as the taxi whirled away from the railroad station and turned Into the smooth jiut winding road leading to the resort where I was to find Claire Foster. "Couldn’t be more so, thank you," It took an effort to keep my voice tuned to just the right pitch of airy flippancy, the attitude which I in tended to adopt during this whole hu miliating episode into which Dicky's ridiculous escapade had dragged me. I felt far more like turnig on him stormily and having "a good old fashioned row" over his dereliction, regardless of whether the taxi driver was scandalized in the process. But that primitive outlet for the emotions being denied me, I knew that tiie only safety for my poise lay in adhering strictly to the role I had written for myself. Any deviation from it might let loose the elemental feminine I had chained in a remote recess of my being. Dicky Misunderstands. "That's good.” There was a con ventional note in his own voice, and for a long while we sat silently in our respective corners of the taxi, while the moon emerged from behind ti e distant hills, suddenly, us it does in the higher country, and flooded the road with its soft light. To me came a flashing, stabbing re' membranes of other moonlights when Dicky and 1 together had motored over country roads. That lie remem ►bored, too, I knew as from 'beneath my lowered eyelids l furtively caught him gazing at me with an expression almost wistful. And then ho coughed, a little, unconscious mannerism of Ills when, as most rarely happens, he is at a loss howf to handle a conver sational situation, and spoke slowly, hesitantly. “Do you know, Madge—you’ve been a brick about this mess.” "What did you expect me to do, shoot from the hip?” I retorted with i an airy little chuckle. “I know that has been the invariable cugtom even in some of our very best social circles whenever a wife feels herself a bit peeved, but I think it's a bit passe now, so many women are taking it tip. And I'm not a very good marks man, anyhow'.” "Tou little devil!” His voice held a mirthful, appreciative note, and 1 | saw that my retort had led him to | believe 1 was not really angry. "Try ing to spoof your bad boy, eh? Don't ' snuggle into your corner that way ; I know a better place for you to [snuggle while you hear me say my litany <of remorse.” “Really, I’m Not Interested.” He moved swiftly to my side, slipped an arm around me and bent his face I to mine to kiss me. And his action ' almost loosed the emotional feminine jr had chained so securely. I wanted him to kiss me, but at'the same time 1 wanted to strike the smile from his j lips, indication of the assurance he j felt that he had only to bestow a caress to make me forgive anything he might have done. The desire to punish him. however, far outweighed the impulse to yield to his caresses, and I knew that storming at him would only betray to him the emotion I was so strenuously concealing. There was a far more effective means ready to my hand, and I was aware of it with the (lend ish subtleness possessed only by inar vied couples who have lived together b ng enough for each to know each weak place in the other's nrmor. I therefore withdrew into myself every vestige of tenderness or any other emotion, leaving only the airy shell of indifference, which of all my moods Dicky detests most. Without even the hint of a struggle I sat quiet ly in his arms and permitted his kisses, but no tiniest responsive move ment of lips or body did I make. When after a second or two he real ized my attitude, he suddenly lifted his head and withdrew his arm. "you’re about as responsive as a glass of iced tea,” he said suddenly. ‘‘Oh, Dicky dear, can’t you think of a more complimentary simile—say an orange frappe now, that would be ever so much—” A word exploded on his lips as he flung himself away from me into a corner of the taxi again. All the feline in me purred content edly at this exhibition, but I know better than to speak until lie broke the silence himself, and it was a long five minutes before he spoke again. ‘‘Look here!" he began gruffly. "I know you have a right to be sore, but you also have a right to an explana tion, and before we get up there I'd like to have you understand—" “Please spare me the details Dicky,” I drawled. ‘‘Really, I'm not interested.” Xmas at Creche Board members of the Creche are i planning a tree for the 30 children at the institution, with candy, Ice cream, fruit and toys.

Dear Miss Fairfax: Kindly tell me why a widow or a divorced woman should not wear white.and a veil and orange blossoms when she marries again. BABE. I honestly cannot tell you why other .than it is a custom established by Dame Etiquet. A number of her customs raise whys and wherefores, but this particular one has more rea son than some other well established ones, since one fling at the veil and orange blossoms has already been al lotted the person or persons in ques tion. Let Conscience Guide. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am in love with a boy who tells me that lie loves me. He has asked me for a kiss many times. Will it be wrong if I let him kiss me? L. C. You have a suspicion it might be when you make inquiries about it. L. C., haven't you? I think In your case I'll just let your conscience be your guide. Addie: Now. dear, you ought to respect his silence. Naturally the loss of his mother would send him into retirement for a while. Let him alone 1 until he shows a desire to get in touch i with you. No, You’re Wrong.

Please give me your advice. F. S. No, you know better than that. The boy who likes to loaf usually gets all die loafing he wants to do. It is the hoy who is willing to start at any thing and work up, not the one who is looking for a good position, that the heads of big business are looking for.

ADVENTURER WfP scon BAIIir CHAPTER XVI. Tommy Fox—Adventurer. WJien Sir. Fox managed to get in side the henhouse he always helped himself freely. He didn't take merely enough for one meal. He would seize a hen, sling her across his shoulder, and lope away to hide her somewhere. And then he would hurry back to the henhouse for another. One night he dug his way under the henyard fence, stole inside the henhouse through a door which some one had carelessly left open, grabbed a fat hen and ran off with her without waking her companions. Up in the woods Mr. Fox hid his burden in a cleft between two rocks covering it well with dried leaves. intent was he upon his work that he never noticed somebody who was watching him from behind a baby spruce. If he had known that he was spied upon, Mr. Fox would not have smiled so pleasantly when he turned and ran back down the hillside toward tile farmyard. But where he hud Uft hi* hen. now there «'ii nothing. Mr. Fox m luck looked good to him I that evening. But when he went back into the henhouse he disturbed the rooster. And then there was a terrible noise. The rooster screeched and woke up all the hens. And when Mr. Fox heard old dog Spot barking be didn't stop to take another hen. He dashed out, whisked under the fence, and tore off up the lane. , "It might be worse.” ho muttered as he plunged into the woods. "I've got one good one, anyhow." Old Spot did not follow Mr. Fox long. And since Mr. Fox was hungry, and the cranny where he had hid his hen was half a mile from the place where he stopped running, he caught himself a few mice and had his sup per right there. Along toward daylight he was hungry again. So he decided to eat his fat hen for his breakfast. He found the cleft between the rocks without any trouble. But os soon as he reached it he knew there was something wrong. Somehody had been there during his absence. The leaves were not as he had left them. Mr. Fox quickly pawed them away. But where he had left his hen now there was nothing. He reached home tn a temper. But Mrs. Fox said something to bim that made him feel better. "You’re just in time,’’ she greeted him. “Tommy and I are all ready ! to sit down to breakfast. \Ye have a fat hen.” Mr. Fox smiled. A third of a hen j was better than none at all. And by : eating fast he hoped to get almost j a half. “I'll carve the hen, my love,” ho j told Mrs. Fox as he seated himself. "No!” she objected. “Let Tommy 1 Jo it. He may as well learn.” Mr. Fox looked somewhat sulky , as ho watched his son give Mrs. Fox a ; wing. lie looked sour when Tommy handed him the neck, and took a leg for himself. He started to grumble But his wife shook her head at hint.

"He's doing the best he can. Vou mustn’t expect him to carve as well as you do." When the meal was over Mrs. Fox declared that she had never enjoyed one more. Hut Mr. Fox seemed very glum. He had had only the poorest parts of the hen. And ho couldn’t help thinking about the whole one that he had ex pected all by himself. “Tou must have visited the hen i house early last evening before the trouble began down there.” he re marked to his wife. "I didn't go to the henhouse," she replied. “Your son brought the hen home for a treat for the family. Wasn't it nice of hint?" “Very!" said Mr. Fox, making a wry face. And then he turned suddenly upon Tommy. "Where did you get the hen. young man?” "I—I found if," said Tommy un easily. “Where?" thundered his father. "In the woods!" "Ha!” cried Mr. Fox. "I might have known it. This is an outrage. That was pty hen that we’ve eaten.” "Well,” said Mrs. Fos mildly, "l'n* pure we all enjoyed It. And Tommy saved you the trouble of carrying it home."
