Adele Garrison “My Husband’* Love” What the Expansive Mrs. Marks and Her Petey Kindly Offered. I moved slightly to one side as Dicky put himself between ms and the small sleek man whom the flam boyant Mrs. Marks with such patent naive pride, had just Introduced as her husband. I waa oddly, tensely curious to note every detail of the appearance of these queer new neighbors. I was also anxious, if possible, to mitigate the Intense frigidity which Dicky was displaying toward them. I knew his dislike of anything common or under bred or pushing, and Mr. and Mrs. Marks indubitably possessed and wero exhibiting all three of these qualities. But' 1 also realized what Dicky's masculine impatience and quick tem per would have scorned to consider— that these people were our nearest neighbors, neighbors also in an un usually intimate sense, because of our being compelled to share a conflnon entrance and hall, and that it was far better not to antagonize them with any manner which they could con strue as snobbishness. "lirt a Move on. Nell. With a little bound o£ my pulses T realized that the diminutive Mr. Marks not only had correctly gauged Dicky's protective movement and curt manner, but that ho resented them. His beady black eyes darted from Dicky's face to mine, and then rested malevolently upon his wife's face, with her vermilllon lips and thin line of plucked eyebrows standing out grotesquely from the rest oi her rouged and powdered mask. "Get a move on, Nell,” he growled. "We can’t stand around here ,all night," “Keep your shirt on." she advised him with such hearty good humor back of the inelegance, and so in fectious a twinkle in her china blue eyes, that shocked as I was. I had hard work to keep my lips from quirk ing into a smile. "We re going right away.” She turned to me with a broad friendly grin. "Me and Pctey, we always do some of our marketing around this time," she said expansively, "and seeing as you're pew to the neighborhood, I thought maybe you’d like to have me do some errands for you. I know all the places around here, and they don’t any of 'em put nothing over on me, I II tell the pop-eyed world. So when you want me to show you the ropes, Just give me a wireless, and I'll be on the job. Is there anything you want tonight?’’ •’My Petey’* in the—” "Not a thing,” Dicky said curtly, but I moved toward Mrs. Marks with a disarming smile. “You are most kind to think of me,” I said in as friendly fashion as I ' could manage, "and some day I shall be delighted to take advantage of your offer." "I'll be there with sleigh bells on whenever you're ready," she respond ed. "Help me on with my coat, Petey, that's a good kid, and don’t be sulky.” The saturnine Petey, thus adjured, unfolded from his arm the most gor geous fur cloak I had seen in many a day and folded it around his liege lady. Its lustrous folds of real seal rippled almost to her feet, while its immense collar and deep wide cuffs were of the finest quality of mink. Then he shrugged himself into an overcoat whose trimmings of seal were as elaborate and costly as the fur of his wife's coat. Then he muttered a surly "ho long and started for the door. "Ain't my coat’the cat's whiskers?" Mrs. Marks demanded with childish pleasure as she saw the involuntary admiring glance I had given the gor geous wrap—really good furs—the best—are an unsatisfied longing with me. "You see, my Petey’s in the—" “Tchk." It is the only interpreta tion I can give pf the queer snarling noise which her spouse made in his throat at this juncture. Whatever its significance, it wan singularly effective, for Mrs. Marks gave a quick frightened glance at him. another at Dicky and ntc, and i scuttled toward the door. Dicky advanced rigidly and shut it after them, but we could hear from ' the hall outside a quick frightened, i high-pitched: | “Oh, Petty, I didn't—” and a low : guttural growl that was like tho snarl ' of a suddenly roused wild animal. Then the outer door slammed, and | Dicky and I were left facing each other in angry astonishment. Removing Jelly From Molds.

Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON \V. BI RGESS. The Chucks Have Neighbors. Do not lot your Joy intrude Un others, leet they think you rude. —Johnny Chuck. R&t-a-tat-tat-tnt T Tlat-a-tat-tat-tnt taMat! Ilat-a-tul-tnt-iat-tat. Johnny Chuck, who had been dozing on his doorstep, looked up and scowled. How could a fellow sleep with such a noise ns that going on? There it was again. He tynew who was making it, although he couldn't see him. /It was Drummer the Woodpecker, hud ho was somewhere up in a big tree just a little way from the home of the Chucks. Johnny hadn't minded that noise so much at first, hut now it was getting on his nerves. You see he had understood Just what it was. vw I i i — Knelt morning when Johnny mine out to get Ilia breakfast the first thing lie would hear would he that rat-a-lat-tat-tat-tat. It was Drummer's way of expressing joy. To Drummer it was music, and it was music to Mrs. Drummer. Drummer couldn't sing, so this was the way he expressed his joy in spring. But to Johnny Chuck it was just noise. He growled and grumbled to himself. Presently Polly Chuck Join ed him. "What is the matter with you?” she demanded^ "Don't you hear that noise?" asked Johnny. Polly nodded. "Certainly. Of course." she said. "I would have to be deaf not to hear it. I judge by the sound that Drummer Is feeling very fine this morning.” ' "■ ■ - - " ' ' —' "He might think of his neighbors j a little hit.” growled Johnny. “If lie wants to drum he ought to go off by himself.” "If you don't llke^ the aound you don't have to hear It,” retorted Polly Chuck. “You can go down inside the house, and there you won’t hear it.” "But I don't want to go down in- ( side. I want to ait out here in the | sun,” said Johnny fretfully. “I hope : he'll find a new drumming place . soon." But Drummer had no intention of looking for a new drumming place. ' There was a certain dead limb up in 1 that tree that just suited him, and he drummed and drummed and drum- i med. Johnny Chuck had to stand it. I you see there wasn’t a thing in the world' he could do about It. Each morning when Jrflinny came out to get his breakfast the first, thing he would hear would be that rat-a tat tattattat. But all things must end. One morning Johnny Chuck came out, and , pIdlest at oncp missed something. At 1 first be didn't know what it was. | i m n n came to him. He missed that long roll of Drummer the Wood- ! o' Could anything have hap-| penrj to Drummer? Somehow now , . it lie didn't hear that drumming, | Johnny wished that he could hear it. j He felt lonesome. Yes. sir, he felt lonesome. He kept listening and listening in tlie' hope that he would hear Drummer somewhere in the dis tance. i Rut he didn't hear him, and for a very good reason: Drummer was too busy to drum. Mrs. Prumrger had found just the sort nf place for a new home that she wanted. It was in that same tree. There was a dead place in the trunk, and there she had decided would be the very best place In the world for their new home. Now the building of a new home by the Woodpeckers means a lot of hard work. Mrs. Drummer had start ed by cutting a small, round hole. Once through the outer part, the work was easier for beneath the outer shell the wood was softer. Stlil, it meant a great deal of hard work. Drummer was very much excited. He had his share to do, and he no longer felt like drumming. So it was that, i though Johnny Chuck didn't know it, i he anil Polly were to have very close neighbors all through the spring. (Copyright, 3923 ) The next story: “The Making of the Woodpecker Home." Give Him Another Chance. Dear Miss Fairfax: Just what do you think is wrong with those people who are loving somebody else's hus band or wife? Recently a case came to my knowledge of a woman of 33 who claims she loves a married man. Of course, It didn’t all happen at once. Bhe also claims to be particular about who she gets, but this married man | suits her fancy, and later, at a sneak party, she doesn't mind telling him that she has loved him for some time, and now that he has led her to tell him of her affection, he is doing her j a great wrong if he doesn’t desert his wife and children for her. In the mean lime the man seems to have a hard fought battle with his con science, for when he CHme to himself he went like a prodigal to his wife and confessed every detail of his love affair with this old maid, and the wife decides to let her have him. Now he declares he does not respect this part ner of his wrongdoing. Do you think that wife should go on and obtain a divorce because of the wrong done her and because she fears they cannot live happily together again on tlie grounds of cruelty, T guess it would be, for the man seems to be about as good as ever, only was made a fool of because of his weakness; or should she give him the chance to make good that he pleads for and Just let the other woman go on wondering how she can foi£et the man whom she loves, hut has given up because he is married, and whom she still believes really loves her, hut is just living with his wife because of the children? OBSERVANT. The wife should, of course, give her husband another chance and help him over this rough place in his life. As for the other woman in the case, she is just one of the proverbial "plain fools" who believe everything a man tells her—the world Is full of them. Det fate take care of her in its own way. Wanderlust: It is the place of the one leaving town to write first. Do : not give your picture to any one un- * less you are very sure it is wanted, and very especially, do not hand It 1 over to a boy friend without being | quite sure he would he glad to have it and would keep it with respect to ward you. A girl in a house with a boy ought to be chaperoned. No boy is too bashful to make some sugges tions himself if the girl will only give him a chance. If a boy doesn't come back it is a pretty good sign he doesn't care to. That doesn't mean he dis likes you. but merely that he likes ' some one else better. Sincerely In- ' terest yourself in the good of other people, and you will then forget to talk so much about youraelf. Write the secretary of state department for information regarding conferences. Billy and Bobby: l'ou may ask them In after attending a theater for a little while. Do not allow them to stay late. It is certainly not advis able to kiss them good night. If you do. they will soon get tired of you and seek others. You may make en gagements over the telephone. It is best for hifn to ask to call, hut if a girl wishes to invite him it is proper. Bobby: Upon returning from an evening’s entertainment the young man should leave you at the door im mediately unless you ask him to come in. If he doesn't, it is quite all right for you to thank him for a pleasant evening and bid him good night. You are right in refusing to give up your friends. C. S.: I would advise you to forget both women. There is plenty of time ahead, you know, and when you feel as you do now you are very liable to make a grave mistake and bring un happiness to yourself forever. Two Flippy Flappers: What you need, my dear*, is a good spanking— not advice. You know as well as I do that a school girl or any one el«e returning from a dance at 1:30 should dismiss her escort immediately. The girl should precede the man down the aisle of the theater. Friends of Art. Anna Morey of Hastings, who is the house guest of Mrs. F. H. Cole, lias found an old friend in Dudley Crafts Watson, who spoke here Sun day at the Omaha Society of Fine Arts galleries. He and Maurice Flock, museum director, were guests at the tea which Mrs. Cole gave at her home for Mrs. Morey following the lecture. ^Mrs. Morey, state chairman of art for the Nebraska Federation of Wom en's Clubs in 1810. brought Mr. Wat son to Tecumseh. N'eb., tor the state convention. He filled another en gagement under Mrs. Morey's direc tion at Hastings. "His viewpoint and his enthusiasm have alw'ays made him a welcome speaker to club audiences,” said Mrs. Morey. Mrs. Morey is now on the art com mittee for the General Federation of AA'omen's clubs. She will return to Hastings, today, being on her way home, after a series of art lectures. She gave one each day last week, the last engagement being at AA'ianer.
