Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” The Fright Mrs. Durkee Gave Madg^ After a Hearty I-augli. At my entrance to my living-room with the luncheon tray, I found lit tle Mr*. Durkee seated by the table, looking ns different ns possible from the haggard, hollow-eyed woman who had come to my door but a few min utes earlier. I whimsically reflected that a pow der-puff and a mirror had the same stimulating effect upon my little * friend that an unexpected cocktail might have upon a person accus tomed to the drink. At any rate, for the present moment at least, she was her gallant, volatile self again, and 1 rejoiced at the transformation. “What a darling you are, Madge!” she exclaimed as I uncovered the luncheon tray. “Just the dishes I like best. And my favorite tea, too. as I poured the freshly-boiling water from the tiny tea-kettle over an alco hol lamp into the teapot. “I didn’t think I could eat or drink a thing, but this actually makes me feel hun gry.” “I'm so glad,” I returned, smiling down at her pleased, winsome little face, “for I’m simply ravenous my self-f-this is my breakfast, you know ■—and if you’re hungry, too, I shan’t be ashamed of my appetite, ns I oth erwise should be.” “It’s a good thing T happened along." she said dimpling, and ap preciatively attacking tho creamed chicken and potato surprise 1 had served her. "You never would have cooked all these different things for yourself, you know you wouldn't." "You don't know me,” I replied gaily. "I'm a valiant trencherman with a knife and fork.” "But your a woman," she retorted, sapiently, and I laughed at her little quip with a tenderness in tho laugh ter which one linds in any merriment accorded h,v her friends to "Iter Fluf fincs?." "I’m not going to say another word,” she next declared. "This luncheon is too good to be spoiled by talk." ; And discuss It in silence She did— for at least three minutes. Then, evi dently remembering something, she broke out in an excited query: "Who was that awful woman just 1 outside this door this morning? I heard her' say, "Petey, kiss me, or I’ll ! knock your block off!" and naturally 1 couldn’t help peeking out at her , as she went down the hall. She’s lawfully clatty. Gracious. Madge, I hope you're not taking roomers or j anything like that, are you?" Her face expressed such hoxrified ■ consternation that I fihoked back tho laughter on my lips and hastened to 1 reassure her. “No, indeed, but you see there are ' two apartments made out of one ; here—everything in the building is [the same—and we have to share the I entrance hall with the tenants of the I other apartment." She looked toward the hall with ■■ shrewd, housewifely glance. | “And you have to go in to the hall to reach your bathroom and kitchen, don't you?” she queried. ‘‘You have sharp eyes," I coun tered, evasively. "You can't fool me," she retorted airily. "But, Madge, this Isn't a tit place for you." "It isn't a question of fitness, but of what we could get,” I explained patiently, where with any one rise on earth 1 would have heen distinctly resentful of the criticism. But the artless manner with which she deliv ers her strictures robs them of sting. "But surely, ror thetsum you told me you were prepared to pay a month-—-" “We are paying precisely that sutn," 1 assured her, then laughed aloud at her wide-eyed, dismayed amazement. "Madge, you aren't fit to he trust ed in the city!” she declared at last. "They've simply cheated the eye-teeth out of you. I'll bet whoever rents this place saw you coming a block off and said: ‘Here's the prize. Watch me soak her.* " "There were six women trailing tne,, wanting the same nnnrtment when I took it." “I'll bet the landlord hired 'em.” sho said illogically, and then she j laughed at her own absurdity. But, to hay terror, the smile on her i face changed on the instant to a twisted, horrible grimace of pain, and she swayed toward me with a hcart ! rending little cry. Beatrice Fairfax Problems That Perplex lie Thinks Only of Himself. Dear Miss Fairfax: The other day I was invited to spend the week-end with a charming couple who mean a great deal to me. They asked me to bring along a man, as there were to : be four couples at the house party.. I promptly invited a man who claims to care a great deal for me. But he said he hated house parties: that ho wanted to play golf Sunday; that he had tickets for a concert Saturday night, and that he didn’t feel a bit like taking two days off and going to i the country. Perhaps 1 was a little bold when 1 suggested his driving out Sunday .after the concert, having tea and ] driving me * home—a two-hour trip. He laughed and said that I shouldn’t bother about him—that he didn't mind j if I took another chat) in his place. ' Now as we are secretly engaged, 1 thought that would belittle our love, and so T went alone, expecting to be the extra girl at the party. It rained Sunday, and first thing In I the morning Jack phoned and wanted j to come out. I was taking a walk .n the rain, atwl the hostess was with j me; so when one of the other girls I answered she told Jack tho party was complete, and that ended it. Hut now ■Tack is wild because the hostess in vited a man front a nearby town over for Sunday, and we were a jolly party iof eight, While he had a poky time. II told him he thought only of himself, and he said that was natural with men. and I might ns well Know K. tt is this true',' AnnabeHo. (If course il isn’t true. The price of friendship is considera tion and courtesy. Tim first requisite of love is unselfish thought of the beloved. I.nve Is giving. When a girl loves a man who won’t meet her even ft quarter of the way along the path of social adjustments, she can do nothing better than insist on talking the whole thing out as if it were a business proposition. To marry a man who thinks only of him self is either to turn into a shadowy little “second” of his personality or to get so imbittcred that sweetness and loveliness will take flight from a disposition which can’t stand the strain of constant resentment. A selfish man can be educatde in thoughtfulness—but only when the woman who loves him is sane, has hutfior. poise and enduring patience. If the big actuality of bis love counts more than the little disappointments a selfish man causes, he may he ti.lined to see that fairness and squareness are part of real devotion. Kggs Guaranteed. .. Ti is so foolish to buy eggs that are not strictly fresh and not guaran teed by tho storekeeper. They are not nearly so wholesome as fresh ones and you are certain to find an occa sional one that is positively spoiled.

Hall, of this place, writes that she was "getting weaker all the time,” when Cardui. the woman’s tonic, was first brought to her attention. After she had taken C’ardui a while, she writej that she “never did see such an im provement.” “I suffered all the time and had pains all over,” says Mrs. Hall. “I was so weak I could not stand. My skin was cold and flabby. I did not have any color. I had always been a very active woman—used to outdoor exercise, walking and going where I pleased, and to get down, not able to get myself a drink, was indeed a hardship. “Nothing seemed to help me. till I began on Cardui. The first bottle seemed to strengthen me, and I sent for five more. By the time I had taken these, 1 was on my feet, going around, doing my work, gained in health and strength. “1 took two more bottles, and I am well and strong. Can work my garden. I haven’t had any more sick ness.’’ Cardui acts gently and in a na tural manner, helping to relieve the symptoms of many forms of female trouble, and to build up the system to health.
