r-__ ■ , ■ -. ■' ' My Marriage Problems Adeie Garrison's New Phase of “Revelations of a Wife * The Words of Advice Katie’s Loyalty to Madge Wrung From Her. Katie's Query*as to whether or not 1 meant to take Junior with me, was like a knife thrust. But there nre times when one s emotional depths are so stirred that nothing matters save t he particular obsessing reaction which has seized one. If there had be.en a question of my little lad's physical welfare I know that I would have been turned back from my purpose of going away from my home. But %vith his grandmother and Katie and Jim on the job, I knew that he would lack no earn which even I could give him, and ho was too young to grieve at my ab sence when all his other surroundings worn his accustomed ones. Another sentence, not Dicky's this time, flashed itself into my remembrance. "if only it wore feasible for you to go away for a while, wo wouldn't have to worry about tho place here.” Lillian had said upon the night of jny arrival home, “for with you and your father gone there would be no interest hero for either their private schemes of vengeance or their big plot. The farmhouse would bfT as safe qs a church for Junior and the rest." The words were both comfort to me and justification for my action. My father already gone, the only scruple I could have hail against my flight was removed by the remem brance of my friend's words. My small son for a little while would he safer without me than with me. and I would have leisure to think out my future plan of life. Katie Obeys Madge. But I summoned all my resolution for the parting with him, and em ployed tho time w hile waiting for him in scribbling a hasty note for Lillian, and the writing of a single line on a paper which I enclosed in a sealed en velope with Katie's name written upon it. When my little maid came back, a reluctant Junior trailing be hind her, £ spoke crisply, quickly: 'Throw on your old coat, quickly, Katie, and you and Junior get in the car. I’ll let you out at the corner of the pasture, and you can wa)k back. Quickly now.” The habit of implicit obedience to mo strong upon her, Katie wasted no time in questioning, but snatched Junior up in her arms, and with a quick, subconscious housewifely re moval of the kettle to tho back of the stove, went out of the door and climbed into the car. X followed her. and mounting to the seat behind the wheel, turned my switch key and sent the car down th« drive to the road. Purposely I drove at my usual pace, knowing that Dicky or anyone else would suspect nothing seeing me driving the car bareheaded, with Junior and Katie in the tonneau, for they frequently accompanied me on errands. At the pasture bars I stopped, and turned to ICatle. “Eet—Eet Don’t Pay.” "Please give this note to Mrs. Un derwood," I said, "when she asks you where I have gone, not before. And in this envelope"—showed her the one on which I had written her name, "is the address of the place where you can reach me it Junior should be sick or anything should happen that you needed me bady. But,” 1 said clearly, "remember, that you nr* not to open this unless you need ine, for then when anybody asks you if you know where I have gone you ran truthfully say that you do not know. Say nothing of this noto to anyone. Promise me." "You vant me to swear eet?" Katie asked. "No, no,” I said hastily, for I had had experience of the awful emphasis Katie put on her sworn word. "Just promise me. that's all. And If you do think the time has come to show it, don't give it to anybody except Mrs. Underwood.” "All right. I promise," Katie said fervently, then she put iter hand on my arm. and her eyes were troubled. "Please exeoos, my Darling Meesis Graham, hut you going avay cause ; you fight so bad my Meester Graham dli morning?” I was so astonished that 1 forgot my dignity. "IIow did you—” She evidently sensed my alarm, for she promptly alleviated it. “Oh, ndlxtdy else know"' she said. "‘But T goin' troo hall von Meester ! Graham ho joomp out shoosl like vun 1 cjclone, und I heard hecnt say some ' thing bad by you, shoost vat Jeem say dot time veil he get so mad by me ofer dat Joe. Und, oh, my darling Missis Graham. I don't vant you to feel so bad like me! Eet—eet don't pay.” 1 was destined to bear Katie’s words echoing in my enrs many times, but Just now I could think of nothing save the humiliating similarity between her own experience and mine. “I'll remember what you say, Katie,” I said the first thing which came into my mind, "and I'll be back Goodby." I swept my little lad into my arms, kissing him tenderly. "Mother’s going after something nice for you sweetheart.” I said. "Be a good boy and mind Katie.” Uncle Sam Says ____________ The government has prepared this booklet of particular interest to girls and young women who wish to learn to sew.

There is no reason why children should not know that people think them'pretty if care is taken to let j them know that other children are pretty, too. Perhaps the best thing to-1 do is to let the children understand ! that a pleasant, cheerful, friendly j expression makes anyone look pretty. ! Teach them to regard good looks as something that any person may have by the cultivation of amiability. ' ... Problems That Perplex By BEATRICE FAIRFAX A Potential Hoitiebreaker. Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am a man, aged .10. My business is real estate, from which t derive a very good in come. Several months ago 1 met a young lady with whom 1 am deeply in love. Ueoently X found out that she is married and has a child. Nev ertheless, I still love her and she reciprocates and desires to leave her husband. What would be your ad vice to me in a situation of this kind. C. F. Do you want to break tip a home and deprive a child of its mother? Do you want to steal another man's happiness? Do you want to marry a woman you could never bring your self fully to trust and who will in turn recognize you as a man of very little honesty? If you don’t—make it your business In life to cut yourself off from an infatuation which prom ises unhappiness for every one con cerned. If you go away, you'll prob ably forget what Isn't worth remem bering. Keeping Kate Ilnurs. Dear Mies Fairfax: I am just IS and have callers a couple of times a week, staying until 12:30 or 1 a. m. My father objects to anyone staying after 11, as my brothers and I have to go to work quite early mornings. Kindly tell me if it is right for him to do so; also what time company should leave. P. S. Your father is right. It is In very poor taste for visitors to remain after 11 or 11:30 at the latest.. If you sit up until the early morning hours how can you get up early and do your work? You' will be old before your time if you keep this up. Occasion ally when there is a large group and it is some special festivity, it is all right for guests to remain later, but your home must not he turned into a club or a cabaret.

Rriglit and Broad, the oxen, were going to race against Mlstah Mule in the back pasture. It was going to lie a slow race. And since Mlstah Mule hadn't the slightest idea what a slow race was. Bright and Broad started to explain. As usual, they both began to speak the same words, at the same time. "The race," they told ddistah Mule, “will be from the fence here to the. big pine tree ;on the other side of the 'pasture. We two will keep to r »-*l: "Whoa, therel" theg both erisd.’Gtt bock! If gou must pass, $o around us ’ gether, just as we always do. AVe'll all three start at once. If you reach the pin" tree first, you lose. If we reach it first. we lose." “lion’ nobody win this rate?' Ms tali Mule inquired. “Yes! Yes! Whoever reaches the pine tree last will win.” M is tali Mule shook his head. “It's one agin two," he complained "Don’ ’pear like it's a fair race. If one o’ you go too fast, the other kin hold him back." Bright and Broad swung their heads around and looked at each other again. “What do you suggest?'1 Brood In/ quired of Bright and Bright inquired of Broad. “Why not let him walk behind us?” each replied to the others “Cause why?” .Mistah Mule broke In. "Don't you sec? It will 1*> more than fair to you." they explained. “Mo long as you keep behind us, you'll know that you aren’t going to reach the 'pine tree until after we get there. Only, of course, you mustn't stop walking. Jf you find you can't walk slowly enough, just swerve aside and pass us.” Mistah Mule quickly agreed to this plan. He couldn’t see, now, how he could possibly lose the race. "I hopes,” he remarked, as he took his place behind the oxen—“I hopes you doesn't kick." "Never," they assured him. And each whispered to the other, “That's more than he ran say about himself.” “Are you ready?” Bright and Broad then boomed in their deep tones. “Ves, sah, yes sah." Mistah Mule re plied. He answered twice, because he was talking to the two, and he want ed to be polite. “Co!” they bellowed. And each be gan very slowly to lift a foot off the ground. Mistah Mule suddenly forgot that this was to he a slow race. When he heard the word "Co!” he gave a great leap, which carried him between Bright and Broad and thrust those hea\y fellows rudely apart. “Whoa," there!" they both cried “Get back' Jf you must p»c«, go around us."
