-v—. Adele Garrison My Marriage Problems Wliat Grace Draper Threatened When Slio Discovered Katherine Was in the Next Room. “If you weren’t so cross.” Linda whined childishly. "I could tell you a lot more about that nurse.’’ Grace Draper eyed her keenly. “I’m not cross, you little fool,” she said indulgently. “Go ahead and spill all the gossip you've got in your sys tem.” “Well, in the first place, she isn’t a prisoner, like this one”—she jerked a contemptuous hand toward me. “She's here to take care of a sick man, and she’s allowed to go through the halls most times, and down to the kitchen at certain hours. And the man is somebody's white-haired boy all right. The prince himself came to see him last night.” “The devil he did'.” Grace Draper ejaculated. “Now, what does that mean?” Madge Pleads for Katherine. She strode up and dow§ the room for a few seconds, evidently pondering Linda's revealation. “I don't like the idea of the nurse,” she said at last. “The man is proba bly one of us. I wonder if she is. What does she look like?" “She ain't a bad looking dame,” Linda said judicially. “A bit smaller than this one, with brown hair and brown eyes, and little bits of hands.” Without warning Grace Draper whirled and fixed her eyes upon my face. In my tense interest in Linda’s description of Katherine Bickett I had forgotten Lillian's first command ment of a “poker face," and I saw, too late that Grace Draper, her mem ory challenged by Linda's description, had discovered my intense interest in Lida's description. , “So!” she said after a second’s de liberation. “I think I’ll get a lamp at this nurse.” She hurried out of the room while I sat sick with terror, and when she came back a few minutes later, her body was quivering with rage. “I thought so.” she said, towering above me. "She’s your friend, and she's been planted in this job. Well, there's one comfort! Neither she nor you will ever get out of here to spill anything.” ' For Katherine I did what I would j have scorned to do for myself. ‘‘She stood by you once,” I remind- i cd her, "for weeks—brought you back from death itself—” “I'd Start tlie Third Degree—” j A sneering little laugh interrupted me. "You’ll probably admit yourself | that she might have been in better j business," she said,'and there was no i hint of any softening In her tone. | "Nay, nay, little one,”»slio went on. i mockingly, “don't delude yourself. I j haven't a hundredth cubic inch -t>f ; soft feeling left In my system for any- ' body, let alone any friend of yours.” "I have no delusions concerning j you,” I answered with a steady voice, , "nor would I have asked any favor for myself.” She laughed agaiu, and there was something in her laughter far more sinister than imprecations. "Which allows you have a lingering remnant of common sense," she com- j mented, then turned to Linda. "Y'ou’ll probably have this baby on j your hands till tomorrow, Linda,” she ! said. "I'll relieve you some time in 1 the night so you can get some sleep, and I'll look in on you once in awhile. Blast her—she can sleep if she wants to, while I've got enough on hand to wear out a yoke of oxen. If I had my way I’d start the third degree with j her today, but the orders aro to treat j i her pretty until her time comes. Sort i j of fattening the missionaries for the | cannibal kettle stunt, I guess. Now, j you remember what I told you, Linda, i 1 Lay off the hooch, even if you get a chance to steal some again, which J you won’t. I settled that chef's hash | just now.” “Did you tell him I snitched some j out of his bottle? Did you?” Linda cried in dismay. But Grace Draper swept out of the room without deigning any other an swer than a curt command to keep the door locked. Linda stood looking after her. futile angev shadowing her | weak face, while J. alternating be j tween stark terrrr of the sinister pos I slbllities at wh'.ji Grace Draper had , hinted, and the belief that she was ' manufacturing most of her crytic threats in opder to weaken my nerve, watched furtively, eagerly, for a chance to play upon Linda's Irreso lute, enfeebled mind.

Wlmt a Little Green Grass Did. Happiness Is catching. Spread it everywhere you go. —Carol the Me. .low Lark. Carol the Meadow Larlt sat on a fence post near the home of Johnny Chuck and sang as orly Carol can In the joy of spring. His yclloiy waist coat was beautiful to see. It seemed all the brighter for the broad, black crescent on his breast. His clear, piercing notes could be heard clear across the Green Meadows, and no one who heard them could doubt that Carol was nearly bursting with hap piness. ‘How does that look to you?" cried Carol as Johnny came up. Now happiness Is catching. Yes. sir, happiness is catching. I don't know of anything that is more catch ing. It was quite impossible for John ny Chuck to sit there looking at Carol and listening to him and re main grouchy. Besides, Carol hud told him of green grass, and that news of itself was enough to put an end to his bad temper. When he begged Carol to tell him where the nearest patch of green 'grnss was his voice had become almost pleasant. Now Carol the Meadow Bark re joices in his own happiness, and dear ly loves to make others happy. "Watch me, Johnny Chuck." said he. "I will fly straight over to the near est patch of gfeen grass." So Johnny Chuck sat up very straight and watched. Carol spread his stout wings and flew out over the Green Meadows. He didn't go far before he dropped to the ground. Johnny Chuck waited only long enough to make sure Just where Carol had disappeared. He forgot that he had been complaining of feeling stiff. His black lieels fairly twinkled as he left Ills doorstep and started straight for that place. When he got there he found tlarol waiting for him. "How does that look to you? cried Carol as Johnnj* came up. Johnny drew a long breath. "It Is the best thing I’ve seen for a long, long time,” declared Johnny as he looked hungrily at a little patch of green where the young grass had just begun to grow. When you stop to think of It, that wasn't a surpris ing statement, considering the fact that until that morning Johnny Chuck hadn't seen anything for many long weeks. That grass was young and tender, and, of course, it was very Rhort, for It had only just begun to grow. Johnny began to nibble it eagerly. Thete wasn’t enough of it to be very filling, but there whs enough to take the edge from his appetite. Besides, he wasn’t so wery hungry. You see he still had the fat he had stored un der his skin before going to sleep In the fall. And he didn't really need food just yet. It was the fact that there was food, and the knowledge that every day there would be more, which made such a difference to Johnny Chuck. As he nibbled the whole world changed for Johnny Chuck. Yes. sir, it did so. By the time he returned to his door step you wouldn’t have known him for the same Chuck who had been so grouchy to Peter Rabbit and Win some Bluebird and Jimmy Skunk. He was glad he was awake. Ho fairly tingled all over with the joy of spring. Yes, sir. he did just that. He actual ly wanted to sing, but. of course, he couldn't. He forgot that he had ever grumbled and growled’ and com plained. And that Is what a little green grass did for Johnny Chuck. Copyright, t922, by T. W. Burgess.

We are not rich people, but I have seen 1 to it that she is well educated. She I is now in her junior year at college. ' i have had her slu"dy music and lan guages at school and she is trained in dancing and athletics. Yet every time she comes home for a va cation J realize more and more that she isn't the sort of girl to he popu lar with men. She is shy and reserv , (d. She won’t make any effort to please people unless they interest her. I She is too serious. She doesn't rare i for the young folks 1 take such pains j to- entertain in our home. Slio wants to study law and to rte ' vote her life to working for the is-t ' terment of woman’s position in the modern world. What can I do to I make tier see tlicit after all I have ! done to make her socially charming I sho will lie throwing herself away If she lieeoines one of I hose independent, masculine, self-sufficient women of whom there are too many already? My daughter ought to make a posi tion for herself in the world where I have worked so hard to gain a good social standing. T want her to marry well. Can you tell me any way 'o turn my "blue stocking" into a charm ing girl who will make the social suc cess which is my ambition for her? When a boy or girl has a worthy ambition, it Is not fair for parents to impose their ambitions on the young mind which has been trained to make derisions. What is the use of education unless it actually "draws out" what is in the nature of youth? When a girl is really educated in the full sense of all the word means, she ought to have a true sense of values. Naturally a girl who has de voted 20 years of her life to study a ad to preparation for facing life's prob lems, has had time to search her mind and soul and to work out some theory of what she wants to do with her fu ture. To make a "social success" is a pleasant enough thing—but it is not a career In itself. A shy, reserved girl might have a hard time meeting society in terms of the grace and savolr fairs she does not possess— but she might make a great success in terms of the satisfying know ledge that she is doing work she enjoys and respects. To contribute to the world—to b» a producer instead of merely a con | sunier, is a worthy ambition for any man or woman. And no woman loses her feminity, her charm or her , true womanliness by being an earnest, worth-while citizen of this world. A Poor Loaer. Dear Miss Fairfax: Will you kindly decide this question for me. My daugh ter ami I had uu argument as to 1 whether u girl takes a chance in mar rying a man who is a poor loser In sports and displays his temper and character by throwing his tennis racket to the ground when things do | not go right. I say 1 would not take a chance In marrying a man like that. She says the temper only lasts a few minutes and then all is over. Shr is willing to take the < hance. She | I* only 20. lie Is 24. MOTHER. ' A thoroughbred ought to lie a good i loser in all things if lose he must— | because bis defeat is due to hiH own blundering. Why can't your daugh ter make this young man see that he isn’t acting in a worthy manner when he permits himself to lose self control !!n small things since this will mqjd his character amiss? Tf a fault like this runs through a man's whole na ture it is likely to mar It. But it can | be conquered and need not be a bar 1 rler to an understanding love which will strive to help him master him self. Household Hints. Cult, tile Urease.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused bv a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grand mother made op a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks ■lark and beautiful and thousands of women and men who value that evi n color, that beautiful dark shade cf, hair which is so attractive, use only this old time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." which tinrk*ns the hair so naturally. «o evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears: but what delights the ladies with Wv.th's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is that, besides beautifully darkening the Imlr after a few appli cations. it also brings bark the gloss and luster and gives it an appearance of abundance, How to Start the Day Wrong By Briggs .__ __- - - - ' ** ■ \ You C6T Your JiueeT I LIFE VU_ RLAY GOLF with You Today Bill \ great morning eh ? \ yes- all i have To \ DO 13 SET OW my \ \_/TnCLOTHES I _ ■ ^iS^v— / OH IReNel UMHaae’-s \ MV C3oLF SOCKS AMDJ KMICK£ftS 'ro CAP ' 'N EWEB-THING - I'M . <30IMG To PlaV G(X-F I DON T KNOW voice B*Y <aCLF That -F BALLS AG FOR <3 r / ,rf MAveN’T Slightest J i Oca / Hello Sill-ThlS is Dahe »SAY LISTeM- l JuSV GCT A 'PHOME M6S3A5e FKOF\ \ the oPpvcf *saYimG These WAS AM IMPORTANT MCieTlKCi rr"\ oh amd i should Be Tmcrc .
