A6BEE U>»TW HlMfcWPTWENHKU QtTSOBE!: j My Marriage Problems #Adele Garrison's New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife.” What Claire Disclosed in the Bliss's Apartment. Claire rose with alacrity at niy suggestion that we look over the Bliss apartment to which Dicky had just brought us. ‘'I'll be glad to give it the once over. It's a nifty little dump. I think.” she said, and I noted that she had returned to the slangy diction of my first acquaintance with her. The hours of our association at the Barker house hud given me a new end more pleasant impression of her language, which had been eminently < orrect. But she was patently off guard now, to give her performance of the previous half-hour its most plausible excuse. Our inspection did not take'very long as the apartment consisted of but three rooms and an alcove off the living-room. The single bed room was roomy for an apartment, and contained the ubiquitous twin beds and two dressing cases. The living-room alcove at first sight seemed a part of the larger room, with a comfort ble couch, and roomy chest of drawers, which would havj delighted the heart of a collector. But Claire's sharp eyes soon discovered the real use of the alcove. “Behold the guest room.” she said running an inquisitive finger along the framework of the couch. "This turns into a bed at night, and when the candles and that wonderful piece of old pottery are off that chest it makes a spiffy bureau. But here's one guest who declines to use it It'll make a fine place for the Dicky bird to roost—isn't that what Mrs. Vnderwood calls him? And I know you'll let me share the bed room with you. won't you? Here is even a door for his room.” “It’s the Canary's Chirp." She pulled out an immense screen from where it had been folded against the wall, and began to open it with all the eagerness of a curious, spoiled 1 hild who must meddle with every new thing. I told myself that was ex actly what she was and I suspected that she looked upon Dicky as a nov el and fascinating toy, whose mental wheels she liked to see revolve. •'Never mind that now." I said. "We haven't time. Just look at this table will you? Isn't it a dear?" I had hard work to keep a certain tart crispness out of my voice. The nonchalant manner in which she had decided that Dicky should occupy the alcove while she shared the other room with me irritated me. It was exactly the arrangement I myself had planned, but I had the feeling that purposely or through carelessness, she was arranging things according to her "*n fancy without troubling herself to ascertain my possible wishes. She opened the screen a little farth er, pushed it hack untidily without dosing it again, then crossed to where 1 was standing over a wonderful old mahogany drop-leaf table. The cozy living room held nothing which was not pure colonial, either antique or reproduction, except those two essen tially modern articles, a tea Wagon and a phonograph, but the table was easily the gem of the collection. "I suppose it's the canary’* chirp.” she said with a disparaging look at the piece of furniture over which I was breaking the tenth commandment, "but I can’t cheep a single cheep over antiques. To my mind this room looks like a morgue." Madge Is Dismayed. Her glance roved over the rush bottomed. straight chairs and rockers which nppealed so strongly to me, and which 1 knew must have been the re sult of long, patient and discriminat ing search upon the part of the unfor tunate owners of them. Then she said amusedly: "But you're daffy about them, aren't you?" "J fancy that describes my feeling," I returned, trying hard to make my voice good-humoredly indifferent. To j express my enthusiasm, almost my veneration, for the lovely old things in the Bliss living room to this girl with her crude viewpoint was a waste of time and effort. ‘‘Well, I’ll take a comfortable rock er that I won’t be afraid of breaking," she said laughingly, and followed me to the tiny kltchon, which after a swift, comprehensive survey of its con tents. filled me with admiration—and dismay. If was in that condition or immacu late order only to be described as spick and span, and its every ap pointment spoke of an exquisitely dainty and fastidious mistress. I found myself visualizing her dismay at the thin veil of dust which during her two weeks' absence had covered the porcelain top of her work table. But it was not the exquisite cleanli ness and order of the kitchen which dismayed me. I flattered myself that I could return it to its mistress in equally good condition. But except for the cups and bowls of heavy yel low ware used in preparing and put ting away food, there was not a single piece of what housekeepers call "common, everyday dishes or glasses" in the big cupboard which did double duty as china closet and pantry, every dish was thin china, every glass etched and equally fragile. _______________ Uncle Sam Says Infant Care. The Federal Children's bureau has | issued- an interesting and valuable booklet on the care of the baby. It con tains chapters devoted to the nursery, clothing, outdoor life, feeding, wean ing. sleep habits and the treatment of the common ailments and conta- j gious diseases.

Problems That Perplex Antwerp by _BEATRICE FAIRFAX_ Dear Miss Fairfax; Our family have been constant readers of Tiie Omaha Bee for a number of years and X think your advice splendid. I have a problem which I would appreciate help from you on. I went with a certain young man for about three years, then wo quit. At the time at which we discontinued company he was working in the city. Two years ago he came to my tow’n on business. We were together once and have been corresponding since then. Just friendly letteis, as we never really “made up." Have also had three visits, since we have been cor responding. but these were friendly, too. Recently he ceased writing and I wrote him just a friendly note ask ing If he were ill or what. Was I wrong in asking an explanation in the name of friendship? I thank you. UNCERTAIN. Certainly not. Jf he fails to an swer your . letter I wouldn’t write again if I were you. Perhaps he has found some one who will give him the love that I think, perhaps, you have refused him since your quarrel. He may lack the courage to tell you of his new found happiness. Worried: My dear, when a mar ried man tells you he loves you, don't believe him. If he speaks the truth, he is still unworthy of you because he is being false to his wife. I ad vise you to see no more of th's man no matter how much suffering it causes you. It will be less suffering. 1 assure you, than you will have if you continue to see him. Heartbroken: Since you and your sister have talked over this seeming rudeness of your mothers would it not be well to talk to her about it. Perhaps to you at 15 the fact that you can't go with boyrs seems the most tragic of situations, but really moth er’s chaperone would be a thing to FOR COUGHS »nd COLDS desire rather than fear, because, as ! you say, you want nice boya for friends, and they only choose nice girls, you know. Of course ridicule is hard for the most blase to over look, but if you tell her how sensitive you feel, I am sure you can bring your friends to your home without fear of any further fun at your ex pense. Jack ami Jill: Your sister is most unreasonable if she thinks you and your older sister should give up your boy friends just because she hasn't one. Isn't there something more than that to your problem? I cannot think she could be so unfair to you, ADVERTISEMENT. 666 is a Prescription for Colds, Fever and LaGrippe. It’s the most speedy remedy we know, preventing Pneumonia. -The Better Way! “Just around the corner” In the last two years approximately 20,000 Russians have returned, most of them from America, to their old country, many with all sorts of work ing tools and a good supply of dol lars. SLEEPY-TIME TALES JIMMY RABBIT ONCE MORE I fl^TflURfcSCOTT BAILER CHAPTER XXXI. All on Account of the Neighbors. Mr. Rabbit had just came home and found his wife in n flutter of excite ment. "We shall have to move at once ' she told him. "We shall!" exclaimed Mr. Rabbit. "In the middle of winter? I never heard of doing such a thing " "We shall have to move today." Mrs. Rabbit insisted. "Why?" asked Mr. Rabbit. i Ji They call thetnselve* (he Ermine family.” Mr* Rabbit answered "On account of the neighbors.' said Mrs. Rabbit. And she went on with her packing. “What's wrong with the neigh bors?" Inquired Mr. Rabbit. "I thought we liked them. I thought we had found them all very pleasant." “Vour're thinking of I he old neigh bors,” his wife replied, keeping right on with her packing. "And I'm thinking of the new ones." "The new ones!" cried her husband. "What new ones? I didn't know there were any.” "They moved in today," Mrs. Rab bit explained. "They're living in that old hollow tree across the way. And they're terrible.1’ "What's their name?” "They call themselves the Ermine family,” Mrs. Rabbit answered. "But they can’t fool me. I know well enough that they are Weasels all dressed up In their white winter suits." "Ah, ha! ' said Mr Rabbit when he learned that. "Ah, ha! VVe certain ly must move Just as soon as we can. Why, It wouldn't lie safe to let ouc little Jimmy go out to play in tile dooryard with a family of Weasels living so near us " "I'm not afried of them.'' Jimmy Kabbit pip* d u'p stoutly "You don't know how savage Weasels are. my son, ' his father le marked. “They're aa quick ns light ning. And their teeth are as sharp as needles. "They're only little people," Jimmy declared "I’m sure they couldn't hurt me." ‘'They’re little—yes!" retorted his father. "But they're fierce fighter*. I shouldn't want one to catch me, big ns 1 ant." Weil, If that was the way his fath er felt,, Jimmy Rabbit thought that Weasels, after nil. must he fearsome creatures. He had had a notion that he would slip out of doors to play, when his parents were not looking. Hut now he changed his mind about that. "Where is our new home going ib be"" he asked. "We haven't decided." his mother told him. "We ll pack up our things and start out with them: and no doubt well find a nice, comfortable house somewhere."
