Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” How Madge Stumbled on Alfred’* and Bess Bean's Secret. My ment,al question as to Alfred Durkee'a course was soon answered. At Bess Dean's noisy announcement that she must go home, he rose, to his feet leisurely, glancing at his own watch as he did so. ''We've plenty of time," he said, "so you can be leisurely about get ting on your things." TJjere was an accustomedness about the little colloquy which angered me, and made me glance furtively at Leila. Her lips were set in a stiff, pitiful, little smile, but her eyes held the tortured look I had observed in them the night before, and beyond her little Mrs. Durkee signaled me a dis tinct appeal, which I promptly and gladly heeded. “You're going to drive Bess over to Bayview, aren’t you?” 1 asked eagerly. “Do you mind if I go along? It seems years since I had a drive in the real country, although it really is only a few weeks. You won't need me for a little while, will you, Leila?” “Oh, no!" Leila replied eagerly, too eagerly, I mentally commented, for X wished she would not betray to Bess Dean her desire that I should play gooseberry on the journey to Bayview. "But I'm afraid you'll be disappoint ed about the drive; go by train in stead. The car—isn't—here." Her voice hesitated ever so slightly, and with intuition sharpened by my desire to aid her, I looked quickly at Alfred, surprising a look of distinct embarrassment in his eyes. And though Bess Dean was outwardly im perturbable. yet there was an inde finable something about her which reminded me of the days in Bayview when anything concerning her own class was brought into question. She was tense beneath her apparent care lessness, but there was also a little satisfied glint in her eyes which re minded me of the eyes of a cat just leaving a jug of cream. Leila Is Puzzled. TUat I had stumbled upon a clue to the secret which I suspected Bess and Alfred shared, I was sure. Al fred's absent car had something to do with it! I told myself that I would not rest until I followed to its end the thread I had grasped. "Oh! In the garage again?" I laughed with the understanding mock ery one motorist generally accords another. "You ought to have our make." "Then we'd have to mortgage the house to pay for its keep,” Alfred growled. "This is the only time the old bus has gone hark on me for months." "What was the matter, run into somebody, or did the motor cop con fiscate it for speeding?” He started distinctly, and tyis eyes turned involuntarily in Bess Dean's direction. Then he brought them back quickly to mine, and laughed so nonchalantly that I wondered if I iiad imagined his momentary pertur bation. “Nothing so thrilling,” he said care lessly. "1 was taking a chap home one night when we were detained by a conference, and the thing simply died at first. Found out that the generator was gone. Hiid we had to be towed to Amityville. There's been some delay about the repair. Some times I think I’ll trade it in and get a new one.” Leila had leaned forward in her chair with puzzled eyes. “You’re Going fo Have Your Drive.” “Amityville, Alf?" she said. "I thought you said before the car was in a Farmingdale garage?” "Did I say Amityville?” he count ered quickly, but I had seen the ner vous twitching of his eyelids at her question. "How stupid of me! I meant Farmingdale, of course." "You probably were thinking of that wonderful stretch of road across the island there,” Bess Dean put in smoothly. ‘‘Do you remember, Leila, the day we all drove along that road and ate our lunch by the roadside?” "Oh, yes, I remember It—” Leila assented, and I guessed that the mem ory was anything hut a pleasant one Alfred finished her sentence with a reminiscent laugh. "That's the day I taught you to drive, Bess, when you so nearli' wrecked us coming home. No wonder you both remember it. But, Mrs. Madge, you're going to have your' drive even if the old bus is out of commission. The garage man here is a friend of mine, and he usually has a car he can lend for an hour or two. I’lf just telephone him and find out." He walked to the telephone and rang up the garage. Under ordinary circumstances I would have protested against the extravagance of this ar rangement, but I made no protest now. It would have been too obvious for me to press my company upon Bess and Alfred for a dreary train journey to and from Bay view, while I already had signified my desire for a drive. And I, whatever happened, meant to give my former colleague no opportunity for a trip a deux with Alfred this evening at least. Beatrice Fairfax Problems That Perplex Honesty in Love. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 21 and in love with a girl three years my junior. 1 have never been very suc cessful in my undertakings. 1 imagine it will take me at least three years to make a success. Do you think that I should break with her, because I know that some day she will begin to talk of serious things and I will have to tell her; so I thought 1 might as well tell her now. L. J. F. By all means inform the girl of your-position. This Is the right thing to do both for your sake and for hers. If she takes a deep and friendly in terest in you, she may spur you on to success, and if she isn't interested in a “man in the making" you don't want to hold her on false pretenses. Real friendship—like real love—is built on honesty. Friendship and Lore. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am deeply in love with a young man who has been going around for a long time with my dearest friend, who loves him. too. and who considers herself engaged to him. This young man told pie that he cared for 'me, afid not my friend, but I don't know quite what to do. I would gladly marry the young man were it not (or hurting my friend, perhaps spoiling our relations. She, apparently, suspects nothing. Should I let friendship he a bar to love? * • ROSE. Why jioes your friend “consider herself engaged” to the young man? Doesn't this indicate that he has told her as w'ell as you that he cares for her? While I don’t think you should let friendship be a bar to love, I am sure you should not throwr away a loyal friendship for a love that can not be trusted. It looks as if the man were the sort to amuse himself with two girls while caring very little for either. Get at the trutlvof the situa tion by absolute frankness with the other girl. A Lesson in Toleration. Dear Miss Fairfax: At times my sweetheart shows he cares for me and then again acts very reserved. Now. I am positive that I have done nothing to offend him, as I am al ways careful how' I act and speak in his presence. I feel much hurt by his indifference and therefore am writing to ask your advice regarding the atti tude I should assume toward him. "PUZZLED.” Suppose your sweetheart is reserved now and then, this does not mean anything more than that he has a personality of his own and claims his right to express it. Don't nag at him. Permit him to have his quiet moods and strive to win him to the happy certainty that you understand THE NEBBS- IN THE GREAT OLD YESTERDAY.

A Test of a Friend. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been going with a young lady for the last six ninths and’ nothing more than platonic friendship exists be tween us. Recently she haB become engaged and In all fairness to her fiance 1 don’t want to continue seeing her. Hhe says it’s absurd, and if I 1 -- -- were a true friend I would continue seeing her. Who is right? R. D. There is no reason why any man or woman should give up real friends because love has come into his or her life. If you are a real friend, why should you fancy that either you or the girl will be disloyal to her love?
