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.

TOMMY
FOX.
VENTURER
mscyi^Miir
.» CHARTER XXV.
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.

Be Lovable If You
Would Win
Love
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
i You want love, don't you? 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.
