Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” The Double Disclosure Mrs. Marks Candidly Made to Madge. At the sound of Petey Marks’ voice arrogantly bidding his wife not to talk to us until he found out who we were—or so I interpreted his pe culiar argot—I instinctively swung niy kitchen door almost shut, but so slowly and noiselessly that I war sure the couple in the next room could not hear any movement of mine. Then I stood breathless behind It waiting for tlfb exit from his home of my truculent neighbor. There hal been something about his voice which had indicated imminent departure to me, although how I knew it I could not tell, and something warned me thkt he must not know' I had over heard him. I barely had accomplished the clos ing of the kitchen door, though not its latching, when the door of the Marks’ apartment opened and shut and I felt rather than heard, the quiet progress of some one down the hall. Then the Marks’ door opened again, and the voice of Mrs. Marks called cautiously: “Petey! Wait! You forgot some thing.’’ She ran past my door and I heard a muttered exclamation from her hus band, then an insistent, laughing de inand: “Kiss me, Petey, or I’ll knock your block off.’’ Then the noisy closing.of the hall door came to my ears and I beard the quirk patter of her feet back, but, to my surprise, she stopped just outsid^ my door, and I heard not on ly her quick breathing, but a fainter sound, the click of a latch which, if I had been 10 feet further away, would have been inaudible. Mrs. Marks Is Confidential. "What could she be doing? The an swcr came almost before I had asked tho'question of myself. I remember ed the sensation of being watched by unseen eyes, which I had experienced the night before, and my discovery a few seconds later of the tiny aperture in the frosted-glass windows which formed the rear of the great staircase upon every story of the apartment house. 1 had had no time to hunt for the location of that aperture, but I was sure that Mrs. Marks was stand ing behind it now, watching. The sound of the closing street door cam^ to my ears, and the next instant there came a light tap upon my kitchen door, "I know you’re there, dearie, but it’s only me, so don’t get frightened.” I swung the door wide open and found that she was not standing out side it, but three or four feet away, with her eyes peering through a tiny opening in the big windows overlook ing the staircase. “Come here,” she whispered, "and I’ll put you on to something.” I had meant to tell her frigidly that I saw no reason why I should he frightened, but something Insistent in her manner pushed the words back from my lips, and brought me to her side. She moved slightly to the left, and I saw that her hand held the tiny knob of a sliding bolt? It was an absurdly simple thing. On _X each shle of the stairway the gre.it windows held two narrow panels with inside bolts. They could be opened with practically no noise, and from them one commanded a view of the staircase directly in front of the win dow, the landing by the apartment door and the big lower street doors. “You Know How Men Are.” With her eyes still fixed on the lower street door,'Mrs. Marks spoke rapidly beneath her breath. “Any titpe you waYit to lamp any body coming in, here's the place to do it," she said, then added signifi cantly: “It comes in mightly handy sometimes.” I drew back instinctively, upon my lips a frigid copiment that I should not need the device. Hut I pressed the words back, and murmured In stead a perfunctory: “Thank you. It is very interesting." She glanced obliquely at me. "Y'es, but I guess you won't never need it, the way I will,” she said. “But let me tell you. If you hear a ring on that door down the hall, and we ain’t in. you'd better look through here before you answer it. especially if your husband ain't home. You know, there's a lof" of fellows as gas inspectors and booze cops anil things like that, that's only looking for a chance to swipe your mamma and your lumps of coal, and they’d Just as soon croak you as look at you." I glanced involuntarily at the daz zling brooch which fastened her blue kimono, and remembered the rings and ear pendants of the night before. She caught the look and laughed lightly. “All imitations, dearie.” she said candidly, "although I've got two or three good ones put away for an emergency where nobody but Little Me knows where they are. Hut most everybody thinks these nre the real thing. I don't care for them myself, but Petey likes me to put up a front. You know how the men are."

Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 have been going with a young man who is really quite nice. Oh. he does drink somy rimes, and smokes, and sweau. He 1 also attends the pool halls. He Is a i good athlete. But mother, who is sort of narrow, objects to him. but 1 think j he is only sowing his wtld oats. Now, Miss Fairfax, what shall I do? j 1 Had I ought to give him up to please ; ; my mother? Or should I go with > him to please myself? He shows me I such wonderfully good times. MAGGIE ZINK. I wouldn’t fall your mother narrow. : She has good reason for objecting to the young man. A boy who frequents ■ pool halls and drinks and swears is [certainly uot the right kind of a com j panlon for any young girl. G. H.: if you are a brunette, with clear skin and plenty of color In your cheeks, you should wear reds, dark ; greens and olives, and any tone of yellow from deep orange to ivory. Blonds with clear skins and bright 1 eyes will do well to dress In blues. | greens and inauves. A fresh-complex ioned blond looks especially well in 1 green. Blonds with pale skins look ! well in purple, particularly the wis I term, heliotrope and blue-violet tones. Titian blonds are lovely in black, particularly transparent black. Rich, deep, dark brown Is all right, but avoid tans and yellow browns. Blues ' are good: darkest navy excellent. Avoid light green unless complexion is very clear and color good. Grays are good, especially grays with a pink ish cast. i Black is permitted for the pale brunette only when relieved with n cream white vestee or collar next to the throat. All shades of gray are good, especially pearl, dove ami blue grays. Purple must be used with cau tion. Only dark reds, such as garnet and burgundy, are nllow-ed; all shades of blue are good, all pinks, and most shades of brown. Many women of the "in-between type"—light chestnut or brown hair and hazel eyes—cling stubbornly to browns when often they would look infinitely better in green, dark blue or some other color. Brown is not good if the complexion Inclines to sallow tiess. or the eyes lack the characteris tic brilliancy of this type. Pinkish tans and golden browns are best: avoid ecru tints and bright hues of blue. Very clear complexions may wear lavender. Red is good in dakest shades: and all pinks, especially delicate pink and rose. “Petling” Parties. Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 have been reading In The Omaha Bee of your ad vice to the young ladies about so called "petting parties.” 1 don't be lieve any sound-minded boy will think ill of a girl when she grants a de cent request. I am above legal agp and so is my sweetheart. We are not engaged or any thing of that sort, but just good pals. I kiss her good night also and I don't think any less of her at that. 1 don’t believe she thinks any metre of a simple gbod fellowship kiss than 1 do, which isn't much. If there Is any boy low down enough too hug a girl and then talk about her. I would certainly like to see him. He probably' put his arm around her him self, as it isn’t a usual thing for a girl to make the most advances. And if he asks her for a kiss the girl probably wants to please him and con sents. For my part. I pet my girl and think her just as good as any hypocrite who pretends to be saintly. BARNEY GOOGLE— . SPARKY HANGS UP A SUBMARINE RECORD. .
