Miss Barker is to be honor guest at a number of af fairs during the week. My Marriage Problems Artele Garrison’s New Phase of “Revelations of n Wife." How Both Claim Foster and Dicky i “Played l'p” to Madge. To my own great relief, when Claire Foster and I left her room to gether for the din ng room I found that I no longer had to act the role of friendliness, that It had become a reality. Her contrition for the affair which had caused me so much annoyance and humiliation, and her eager—rath er childlike—desire to atone for her fault In any way possible, had ban ished from my heart the dislike and prejudice with which I had come to “Oak Lodge,” as Mrs. Barker's house is ambitiously called. Her outburst, “only a gloriousfy reckless time, with no thought save the fun of flying,” had convinced me that no element of affection for Dicky had entered into her escapade. In the ruthless, reckless manner of mod ern youth, she had simply snatched it the opportunity for a good time, regardless of whose feelings she huit in the process. My reaction in her favor, however, did not prevent me from a furtive, tense watchfulness of the first greet ing between her and Dicky. I was Wot so sure that their jour neys together had been devoid of sent mental interludes. harmless enough, no doubt, though not par ticularly enjoyable from my stand point. Hut I was conceited enough to believe that neither Dicky nor Claire Foster wqs a good enough actor to hide from me the embar rassed consciousness of such possible tender passages. If he ever had kissed her. for example. I was sure that I would know it when I saw their meeting, which 1 knew was their first since Dicky had brought the girl back from that IW^t wild air ride. Dicky was already in the dining room when we entered and I saw that tie was keeping a distinctly wary eye upon the kitchen door through which Mrs. Barker might be expected to appear. That the doughty land lady of the mountain resort had. tn his own favorite phrase, “put the fear into him,” I realized with an amused smile which I was careful to suppress. Then he saw us. and he crossed the room- with the nonchalant graceful stride which is not the least of Ms attractions, put one hand as If by accident upon my shoulder, and held out the other cordially to Claire Foster. “You've been playing off,” he as lerted. looking her over with a ■vhinisical 6mile. "Hero I've been wrapping myself in sackcloth and pil ing ashes on my head until I've been afraid some furnace man would dump me out witli the clinkers, all because I though you were crippled for life, or would be eternally minus your nerves or digestion, and I would be to blame. And here you look like a 2-year-old just about to have the blue rlbboh pinned on. That's getting sympathy under false pretense, isn't it, Madge?" ‘Tome on, Let's Eat.” “If you ask me," I returned flip pantly, “I think she's entitled to all the sympathy you have in stoj-k, and then some. And sackcloth and ashes won't hurt you a bit. She might have been killed." p "Well, so might I!" Dicky retorted with well-assumed sulkiness. “But I don't hear ^ou doing any wailing over the possibility. That's this new era for you. Women stick together like molasses, and devil take the poor men.” • "I've understood the gentleman mentioned always takes care of his gwn," Claire Foster murmured de murely, and I saw with relief that Bhe, too, was "playing ’up.” There would be no awkwardness at the im promptu supper. "Et tu Brute!" Dicky said re proachfully. "I'm used to having Madge smear me all over the land scape, but I did think you'd treat me better. Come on. let's eat. There's only one solace left me now, and that's food. Let's hope"—ho lowered his voice discreetly-“that our worthy hostess hasn’t slipped any arsenic into the food." Mrs. Barker Helps. “Hush!” X cautioned, none too soon, as we crossed to the dining table, and Dicky drew out first my chair and then Claire's with the touch of gallant ceremony which always in vests any attention of his to women For Mrs. Barker had appeared in the door leading from the kitchen hearing a tray of steaming dishes, and I was afraid that even her word to me would not be proof ngainst any thing which she might deem impud ence on Dicky's part. But she evidently had heard noth I ing, and though her manner toward | both Dicky and Clare Foster was as stiff end forbidding as it was cordial toward me. she gave no verbal evi dence of her displeasure, and the meal she served was far too good for most kings.

Tilings Look Dark for I he Fox Family. It was the day before Thanksgiving. About daybreak Mr. Fox came steal ing home. He hoped his family was abed and asleep. He didn't feel like answering any questions; for his search for a turkey had been all in vain. To be sure, he had discovered two, far down the valley. Roosting on a limb of an oak. far above the ground, Turkey 1’vyudfoot and his brother Tom from a neighboring farm slept soundly, far beyond Mr. Fox's reach. They were taking their year ly vacation, having long mHde it their practice to spend Thanksgiving day away from their homes. Mr. Fox had watched the sleepers for a time. And then he had turned sadly away, to drag himself wearily to hi« den. ?Ar. Fox had watched the sleeper* lor a time "Let me sec it. Pa!" These were the first words that greeted Mr. Fox when he reached home. lie' knew what they meant. They meant that' his son. Tommy, was asking for a look at the turkey—the turkey that Mr. Fox hadn't been ablo to get anywhere. "Now, don't bother your fathej!" Mrs. Fox told her son. "No doubt lie lias hidden the turkey in a good, safe place. Keep quiet and go to sleep." She tucked Tommy into his lied. And then she whispered to her husband, "What did you do with it? Are you sure nobody will find It?" Mr. Fox glanced away. He tried to smile. But he only succeeded In looking most unhappy. Mrs. Fox quickly guessed the truth. "You haven't any!" she exclaimed in dismay. "You were too late to get a turkey. I .was afraid all the time that you would be.” "Well! well! We won't discuss that." said Mr. Fox. "There’s other food to be bad. Turkey Isn't the only thing that's good to eat. Now. take a nice, fat Woodchuck-" he began glibly. "The whole Woodchuck tribe are denned un for the winter," Mrs. Fox interrupted. "Well dig one out," said Mr. Fox gayly. * "We can't. The ground Is frozen," his wife retorted. * "Well, we’ll find something,'* he assured her. "Anyhow, turkeys were poor this year.” "My Cousin Frederica Fox showed me hers," said Mrs. Fox. "It was a beauty. And Aunt Fanny Fox show ed me hers. It was a handsome bird.” "Small, no doubt; and scrawny and tough!" Mr. Fox repiarked. "I sup pose they’re keeping ’em In some safe place not far away.” "Now, Mr. Fox!” cried Mrs. Fox severely. “We mustn’t touch those turkeys They belong to my own rela tives." "Oh! Of rourse we mustn’t! Of course not!" he agreed. But there was an o<Jd gleam In his eye as he asked his wife a few moments later: “Where did you say they had those birds hidden?" But Mrs. Fox wasn’t to be tricked into telling him. She knew very well what would happen, one Mr. Fox learned where her Cousin Frederica and Aunt Fanny Fox hail stored their Thanksgiving njrkeys. At last Mr. Fox had a bright idea: “Let’s ask your aunt and your cou sin to come and dine with us—and bring their turkpys with them!" But Mrs. Fox wouldn’t do that cither.

But do >ou claim It is your rlRht, look for it as a great adventure, dream of it as \ something just around the corner, or recognize it as something you can i have for your own if you earn it? Bove and power are the two great things which most of us know are life's real awards. We admire those who have them—perhaps we onvy their possessors—but how much effort do we make to possess for our own these Supreme gifts? "She isn't good or worthy or kind— and yet the man I adore cares for her, while I am eating my lu^rt out for what I would know how to cher ish, and what has been given to her who hasn't done one thing to merit it. Can you say one word to console me?" writes Imogenn. Consolation la not the thing needed in a case liko this. Inspiration is all that can do any good. For unless you are inspired by a great and constructive desire for the one thing you crave, you will Just sit1 and yearn for it without doing one thing to earn it. Bovc, like all life's valuable prizes, must be earned. There is no getting away from this fact. There is no way to win love save by earning it. Now, earning love doesn't mean curry ing favor. It means being lovable. There are folks who fairly radiate charm and force and magnetism, and who are surrounded by admiring friends—but they do not always at tain the love and devotion of one. Sometimes magnetism and charm are Midi vital forces that they almost push away the tender emotions. We cannot always see what of un derstanding and sympathy and ten derness mid gentleness flows from one being to another. We do not always understand the elertrical current set up between two people. Blit there Is a. response there, and it Is this re sponsiveness to t lie nature which would complete our own which we want to cultivate in our personalities if it is love we seek. 9 If you want love, learn to think of others—not merely of yourself. Teueb yourself to put yourself In sym- 1 pathy with the moods of others. Cul tivate the art of being Interested in i tho tilings which are vital to someone else and nothing to you. Generosity ami simple honesty are lovable. Not by "putting yourself over" and asserting your own moods do you win love. Admiration may be gained by forceful methods. But love comes gently in ret-i^ise to a finely uuned nature in sympathy with your own. Debutante Duds for Holiday. Fawn colored erepe makes a hip hand blouse which is embroidered in self tones in front In a large checker board effect. The unusual touch is an ending on tho reverses of an orange and brown novelty moire ribbon, which also is employed on the sleeves. -? The vestee effect is observed In sev eral blouses. Where embroidery is used metal thpqads are frequently in terwoven. Embodying both these characteristics in a blouse of Madeline Rose in color, covered with nn all over design in.gold and blue. Colored crepe de chine, white broad | cloth, mateiasse, roshanara, frou-frou and several novelty prints are the main items. Many of the blouses show a high buttoning collar and a 1 little string tio of self-material. The jacquette model tying on one side ap parently is a favorite. Soft butter or lard should never bo used when making pio crust. What ever shortening la used should ho hard and very cold. Add two tablespoonfuls of minced onion to the cream of lettuce soup. This particular soup Is inclined to ho Insipid, and the onion adds flavor and makes it more palatable. Union Outfitting Co.
