Adele Garrison “Mv Husband’s Love” Madge's Intuition Made Her Desire tlye Truth. I made short work of my errands. Shopping in “the five and ten" is neither a discriminating nor a thril ling task, nnd I soon had piled up enough articles to supply all my crockery deficiencies. I nrranged to have a messenger deliver them within the hour, and then gave myself up to the quest which always takes me out of myself and banishes all trouble some thoughts—that for flowers. I wanted blossoms for my table, for the mantel, and also to. smile a wel come to my sister in-law from the cheap stuffy apartment which had been the only thing I had been able to secure for her. A florist's shop In the next street to the apartment was as colorfully riotous as an old fashioned garden. With a shivey at the remembrance of the atrocious wall paper on our walls, I realized that the different tones of yellow were,the only things I bould use. So for the mantel over the fireplace I selected a low brown bowl and bought enough calendulas to fill It, reveling in the gorgeous tones of bronze and orange and lemon while they were being put into the box. I wanted roses for my table, and was rejoiced indeed when the clerk, with rare under standing, brought out immediately the ony shade I could use. They were great creamy blossoms, opened Just enough to show ravishing .golden hearts. I am rarely without flowers of some kind, but with city prices I had confined myself to a blossom or two for table and mantel, placed In tiny vases which I had brought from home. These I mentally assigned to Harriet's bedroom, and after a few minutes’ search, I found just the low spreading container I wished for my roses. Then I bought another low bowl for Harriet's mantel with enough pink snapdragons and sweet1 peas to fill it and her bedroom vases. I took Harriet's flowers nnd bowl with me, for I wished to get her rooms ready for her coming before I started my cooking, nr.d left orders for the rest to be delivered at 4 o'clock. The beauty and fragrance of the crowding blossoms in the shop had been like a heady draught to my spirit, making me forget the annoyances and perplexities I had left behind me. But with every step that I took to ward the apartment, there descended upon me the weight of uneasiness which T had felt before. Mr. Schwartz was polishing the door knobs when I came in, nd when he saw me, the cloth in his hand dropped abruptly. “Oh. yps!'' I returned, wondering a little at his manner. “I didn't have much to do. Did you find any body in the hail above us when you went up there?" He stopped to pick up his polish ing cloth before he answered, and nn Intelligent child could have noted his reddened face, his averted eyes and confused manner when he spoke. "Oh, yah! We find somehody, but It vas nobody outside. It vas schust one of the mens in the house vaiting to play a schoke on his vife. He Is awfully funny fellow, dot man, alvays cutting up, but he don’t mean notings." "I wish he would play his jokes somewhere else then,” I said crossly, ..Dot because I really felt annoy iance toward the unknown Jester, but ^because the janitor s manner made Jj&e feel that he was concealing some i thing from me, although I tried to |iia son myself out of the, patently •absurd notion. I do not like beiDg (startled In that way. J “I do not thing he vill do dot {Again," Mr. Schwartz returned grim tly. "I told him a few tings ven I J saw him about ho*v you vas I frightened." !"Eut I wasn’t —" I began, then closed my lips upon the protest. ,There was no need to define my * mental processes to the old Janitor, r "It was very good of you to at ftend to it, Mr. Schwartz,” I said. {"Thank you so much." j 'It vas nodings," he returned, {then as I turned toward the.stairs, 'he cleared his throat nervously. 9 * "Your husband is oop stairs," he [laid. "He coom home schust a little (vile after you go avay." J "Thank you," 1 replied with j mechanical coolness, hut my brain (was whirling, for with intuition sharpened by my own brooding.

Her Sweetheart Is Jealous of Her Girl Friends Marihn Allen, a local writer, has Joined The Omaha Bee staff and will help to solve the Problems that Perplex in place of Miss Fairfax, who has been In charge of the column heretofore. By MARTHA ALLEN. Dear Miss Allen: I have enjoyed your advice to others and would like to have you solve a problem for me. I am 16 years old and have a sweet heart two years my senior. I have been going with him for over a year and he has been very nice to me, but he 1s Jealous of my girl friends. I have already given up two of my best friends because he didn't like them. There Is one girl that I have chummed with since I was a little girl. I am very fond of her and would miss her if I didn’t see her [ some times. My sweetheart and I have quarreled because I have re fused to quit going with her. His only reason Is that he doesn’t like her. Now don't you think he Is very un reasonable as this girl doesn't In terfere In any way with my engage ments with him. I don't want to lose her friendship, neither do I want to give up my sweetheart, and he says we will have to quit if I don't care enough for him to keep away from people he doesn't like. Won't you tell me what to do? PUZZLED. He is a very selfish and unreason able young rnan and Isn't worth the sacrifices you are making for him. Keep your girl friends and let the young man go his way. A youth of 18, especially one so selfish, Is liable to be rather fickle In affairs of the heart. He may find a girl who Interests him' more than you do, and taka my word, ha will not hesitate to consider your feeling*. Have no regret a my dear, you will bo well rid of him.

We all pay the bill! Remember this—two out of every three fires are preventable—are the result of carelessness. Our fire loss per year is nearly four dollars for every man, woman and child in this coun try, while that of Great Britain is only seventy two cents! Why? Largely becauseus a nation we have not yet learned to be sure that our matches; and ..cigarettes are out—to keep our homes, stores and factories neat and clean, free from rubbish—to build wisely—to inspect our premises frequently and to invest a reasonable amount of our time and money towards stop ping fires before they start. Thisis Fire Prevention Week. It is a time to give serious thought to the condition of your home and your place of business—to make them safer—less likely to burn, and to resolve that your fellow citizens will never suffer loss be cause of your carelessness.
