Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” The Visitors the Knock on the I tour Brought Picky and Madge. I whirled at the sound of the knock which had Just sounded on the living room door of our tiny apartment, and stared at Dicky dumbly. “What the old Harry! At this time of night ” he muttered, as he strode toward the door. I caught at his arm as he passed. “Don’t open It,” l pleaded in a frantic whisper. “Xou don't know who it may be or whether—" He shook off my arm, not in un kindly fashion, but decidedly. “Don’t be silly,’ he commanded curtly, and as he turned the key of the lock and threw" open the door I watched him with a trembling fear which was tempered with distinct re sentment at his manner. Then he took a step backward, and T, who had been ready to fly to his defense, turned away in a mighty effort to keep from exploding into audible laughter. for, advancing into the room, with exaggerated mincing steps, was the figure of the woman who occupied the other suite of housekeeping apart ments down the hall, the queer neigh bor whom I had mentally christened “the Woman of the Onion,” because of the bizarre loan she had negotiated but a fewr hours before. Hut what a transformed figure she presented! Tills was my first thought when, after conquering my risibies, I turned toward her. The voluptuous body which h%d appeared distinctly plump beneath rtie rippling folds of the blue kimono she had worn on her errand of the afternoon, was now so competently corseted and bras siered that she appeared almost slender in the extremely modish but rather simple dark blue taffeta gown with scarlet headings which she wore. “We’re Old Pals.” A garish string of large beads of the same scarlet- hue swung nearly to her knees, and the same tint was carried out smartly enough as the only touch of color in iter big pictuie hat of black velvet with curled feather edging, which topped her elaborately marcelled coiffure. With feminine intuition I glanced furtively at her stockings. No, I had not guessed wrong! They were of dark blue silk, with scarlet clockings. and tbe fancy buckles which adorned her smart patent leather pumps had scarlet as the predominent tint of their intricate headings. Diamonds, or good imitations, glit tered in her ears, while across the bodice of her gown stretched an im mense bar brooch of the same stones. And upon the plump hand which she stretched out ingratiatingly toward Dicky were several elaborate and ap parently costly rings. "How do you do?” she said, with her baby blue eyes, at once so naive and so hard, roving over Dicky with patent childish approval. Never before have I seen my de bonair husband even momentarily nonplussed by any social emergency, but ho actually retreated another step backward toward me, as he mur muVed mechanically: "How do you do?” He ignored the proffered hand also, but she was adroit enough quickly to shift the outstretched hand to her dangling chain of beads and swung them as she talked. "We haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet, I think, Mr. Gra ham,” she went on with an air which she evidently fondly cherished as “real society stuff." "Now me and Mrs. Graham, we're quite old pals now. There’s nothing makes neighbors so quick. I think, as borrowing offen each other—that is." she cocked a contemplative eye at me, "if they pay back.” ( "Petey Marks, ThatI s.” Sht was quitfegiut of breath by this time, but she took a deep inspiration and began again. "I s'pose you're wondering how wc know ygtir names, but that's easy if \nu just think it nut. We looked at the card over the letter-box in the front hall. Some classy monicker, t was telling Petey only just now. Now ours isn’t a bit like that. Marks, Petey Marks, that's us, only on the card we got only P. Marks. Oh. I forgot! You haven't met my husband. Ex cuse me, Petey.” She stepped aside, nnd from behind her bouffant skirts there appeared a sleek little man, more fban a head shorter than she and of extremely slender proportions, with the smallest hands and feet I have ever seen at tached to a man's body. That he was much younger than his buxom wife was plainly to be seen. Also plain was the fact that he was not nearly so preposessing as she. His features, of a distinctly ! Oriental cast, were set In hard cal culating lines, his small black eyes 'darted from one face to another, while his sleekly glossed hair and carefully manicured hands, and a cer tain exotic touch to his perfectly groomed clothing, marked him as be longing to the “younge lizard” class. “This Is my husband.” Mrs. Marks said proudly, and Dicky, rfs he muttered a curt “How-dye-do?” stepped forward quickly in front of me as if he were shielding me from something evil. (Copyright, 1923.) Burgess Bedtime ; Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS.. Fanner Brown’s Boy Plans for the Chucks. Thel** is no joy that's greater than In aid of other folks to plan. —Farmer Btown'g Boy. If Johnny Chuck could have heard and understood what Farmer Brown said about drowning him out lie would have been very uneasy. But Johnny Chuck didn't hear and he wouldn’t have understood if he had : heard, so Johnny didn’t worry. But Farmer Brown't Boy worried. Yes, "That's what I’ll do. I’ll plant a garden for Johnny and Polly. ( hurk. sir, Farmer Brown's Boy worried. You see he knew just lmw his father felt. Jfe knew that if when the corn Kvas tip those Chucks ate much of it i Farmer Brown would insist that something be done to those Chucks. He. would insist that they be drown ed out or shot or trapped. Farmer Brown's Boy couldn't blame his father much for feeling that way. "Of course,” said Farmer Brown's Boy to himself, "I can trap those two Chucks and carry them off and let them go where they will do no harm. But they have worked hard to make this new home and it seem* a pity to upset all their plans. Then, too. I like to see them around. I wish I could talk to them and tell] /.them that they mustn’t go in that cornfield. There is plenty of food for them on the other side of the Bong Lane, and we will never miss Ihe clover and grass there. I Just can’t bear to think of bothering them.” For several days Farmer Brown’s Boy kept thinking about Johnny and Polly Chuck, and trying to think of some way of- keeping them from being disturbed. But for the life of him he couldn't think of a thing he coutd do. He used to go down every day to visit them, and they soon be came. so used to him that they would allow him to come very near before they disappeared inside their home. The cornfield had been plowed and harrowed, but it was not yet time to put in the corn. It was while he was down near the Churk home looking over the cornfield that a great idea came to him. Farmer Browns Boy negan 10 jvhlstle, a way he has of doing when he Is happy. "I have it:" said he 'to himself. “I have it! Chucks are very fond of beans. They love young bean plants. They are also very fond of squash plants. I'll plant some squashes and some beans Just for them. These will grt>wr very nicely between* rows of young corn, and Polly and Johnny Chuck won't bother the corn when they can get those other things. That’s what I’ll do. I’ll plant a. ganlen for Johnny and Polly Chuck." My.’ wouldn't Johnny and Polly Chuck have been tickled had they i know n w hat Farmer Brown’s Boy was planning to do! But of course they didn't know, and »of course Farmer Brown's Boy couldn't tell them. In fact. Farmer Brown's Boy didn't tell anybody, not even Farmer Brown himself. You see he, didn't want to be laughed at. So he quietly got together some seeds and waited for planting time. And all the time he kept thinking how delighted Johnny and Polly Chuck would be. ’’It will be the first garden they ' have ever had planted just for them." | thought he. ‘‘It will be the finlt time | they have ever had such things to eat without stealing them. They probably will think they are stealing i 'hem this time, hut they won't be. I guess I will add a few cabbage plants, though I don't Suppose they'll let them get big enough to amount to anything. Anyway, they will give them a taste, i just know’ that those Chucks and I are going to be great friends before the summer Is over.” (Copyright, 19”1, S'* T. W. Burgess.)

Beatrice Fairfax Problcing That Perplex Should She Write Again? -> Dear Miss Fairfax: Some time ago T met a young man who intended stay ing in this city permanently. tVe be came good friends and were together i often. For a few weeks I heard noth ing from him and then he called me on the phdne one day to tell me he had been ill, hut was feeling better again. J knew where he was em ployed, but as lie was only boarding with strangers 1 never knew where he liived. About four weeks after ^>e called me I received a letter from his home town, saving that he had become ill again and thought It best to go home. At first I was inclined to be a bit angry at him for not calling me be fore he left town, but afterwards re lented and answered his letter. Should I have Written him? He hasn't an swered. and I’ve given him more than a reasonable length of time to do so. too. At times I think of writ ing to inquire whether he is ill again —which may be the reason lie has not answered my letter. Do you think that would he pushing myself? I cer tainly’ don't want to do that and would like your advice on the subjeet. A PAL. It would certainly not be pushing yourself to write again. He may he ill and would be so glad to hear from yefo. The Lost Suitor. Dear Miss Fairfax: T arn IS and ! considered beautiful. Although I have | many admirers I am not satisfied, be '■ause I am very much In love with a > onus-man of a different religion. Me proposed and I refused him liecagse ‘ of thi*. as I thought we could never 1 be happy. I am very sorry nbtv. lie is en aaged to another girl. Do you think it would be wrong for me to take him away from this other girl, as I know I he loves me more’ FRANCES. Stop letting envy and malice spoil | your life. You want the man now be cause you resent seeing him happy with another. Your reason for refus ling him seemed sufficient to ^nu once. You are young enough to wait for a ! big. honest, unselfish love. Tf the man i loves the othen gill—let her have him. And if he is weak enough to become I engaged to another out of pi^ue, you don't want him. Kditli: The trouble with "little flings'" is that they sometimes bad u« l further into adventure than we ever ! meant to go.
