Adele Garrison ‘‘My Husband's Love” How Madge Kept Dicky Near and Saved Mrs. Marks’ Secret. Dicky's Innocuous suggestion to go to our kitchen and make me a cup of tea brought me to a sitting posture in the bed as abruptly ns if he had jabbed me in the shoulder with a stil etto. The vision of Mrs. Marks cow ering In the dark little room hiding from some obscure but terrorizing menace, flashed before me. I must not let Dicky go out there. “Oh, no," I protested. “I don't want any tea now. I've taken so much hot soda and hot peppermint, and I don't know what, that—" “You have a superfluity—any more would go flippety floppety,” he quot ed the absurd old anecdote with the nir of a bishop delivering a baccalau reate sermon. “Exactly," I returned, managing a somewhat dismal smilOk "I'll Put the Kettle on—” "Pain pretty bad?" he Inquired solicitously, pressing me more closely to him, and I realized that somewhere in the last few minutes had vanished the quarrel over my choice of an apartment. If I played my cards right, Dicky would not bring the subject up again, and I stiffened my resolution to keep from him all knowledge of Mrs. Marks’ nocturnal excursion into our kitchen. "It's still there,” I admitted wryly. "although It Isn't as bad as it was, but this mustard poultice is draw ing—” "Want rrte to make the comparison for which your ' unregenerate soul yearns—but from which your Puritan training shrinks?'’ he asked. "All right. Here goes a hot tamale.” He let his voice rise to a high falsetto. "It draws, like the very mischief." he piped mincingly, then cocked a know ing eye down at me. "Don’t tell me you won’t want any tea when It comes time to jerk that plaster off and anoint you with sooth ing lotions," he said. "I never kpew you or any other woman to refuse tea in any crisis, mental or physical, and you needn’t cast aspersions on my ability to make It, either. 1,11 trained me in that art ages ago, beat it into my head with a drawing hoard and I’ve never forgotten the lesson. I’ll just go down and put ihe kettle on and come right back.” There was no help for St. The time had come—even though no Walrus was there to remind me of the fact— to wheedle my husband to the best of my ability. I gave a little moan, and clutched him tightly. A IJslened-for Sound. "Oh. Dicky, please don't bother me about tea! I tell you I don't want any now. If you'll just hold on to me un til the time to take this plaster off. and then help me to get to sleep, it will be worth more than all the tea in the world. I'm—I'm ashamed to tell you, but I'm as nervous ns a cat. I'm frightened to have you away from me even as long as it would take to 'go down to the kitchen. Please stay | right here. Oh-h-h, It hurts so!" I was as genuinely ashamed of this performance, as I think Dicky was startled at it. He has always proudly asserted that I am as "game as they make 'em over physical ills, and 1 knew that my present seeming hys teria was inexplicable to him. But he dropped the subject of ten, and cared for me tenderly, until at last, the ob noxious poultice removed, and the pain fast disappearing, I snuggled my head into his arm, and holding fast to his hand, softly murmured: "I think I can go to sleep now, if you'll keep hold of my hand.” "That guy Casablanca, of the burn ing deck, or that other moron who stuck his thumb In the Holland dike, had nothing on me. and don't you think it," he returned gayly. "When you woken next, you may find me frozen ahd very dead, hut I shall still have hold of your hand," "Oh! I only peed you until I go to sleep," l returned, with the mental reservation that not until 1 was cer I tain of Mrs. Mark's safe return to her own abode would 1 permit sleep to visit my eyelids. And then began a long vigil which nearly exhausted me I nervously, for I was so sleepy, and yet did not dare to yield to slumber. But at last the sound for which 1 had listened came. The footseteps of two people came down the hail and passed through the outside door, clos ing it softly behind them. I felt Dicky's body straighten into startled rigidity at the sound, then he relaxed Prejudices Come From Ignorance By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Which of us doesn’t indulge in one or two pet prejudices?

Real breadth of vision allows for the ^ngle from which other folks sec Uiiti^. Recently, into n group at a hotel, there came a woman from whom most of the guests drew away with an amused smile. One explained thnt she could not tolerate folks who wore such garish colors. Home one e1«e ob jected to the obviously penc illed eyes. The woman was a rank outsider and she managed to go her way through an aisle of averted and cold should era.

Then, after a .silence of perhaps 10 minutes, the outer door suddenly opened, then noisily closed again, and feminine heels tap tapped down the corridor. while the unmistakable voice of Mrs. Marks hummed one of the latest cabaret songs. iiff-tml disapproved.

I'm happy when T see bright colors nnd I manage to feel gay and cheerful when I wear pretty things." Harmless enough and even unself. Ish in Us philosophy was the woman's explanation of the things which rous ed so many prejudices and such un fair judgment. But aren't most of our deeper prejudices due to nothing more glar ing than a difference in taste? We, approve of one code—we disapprove of those who subscribe to another, i We follow one creed—we hold our | selves aloof from those who give their I loyalty to another belief.

The results of four*years of In vestigation by the federal bureau of entomology leave no room for doubt thaj, this Insect constitutes a corn pe$t of prime importance. In addi tion it attacks a large variety of use ful and ornamental plants as well as grasses and weeds, and this increases its destructiveness and adds greatly to the difficulty of controlling It or re stricting its spread.
