Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” Sfow Dicky Had Come to Grief While Dressing. I rushed Into the bedroom to find chaos where I had left order, with IMeky nursing a cut finger and utter ing picturesque objurgations. The dainty dresser cover was half on, half oft the bureau. It was soaked with toilet .water, smeared with cold cream and fare powder, and on the floor I saw with dismay the broken frag ments of cut glass and china. I love dainty things about me, and st home where Dicky and I have our own rooms, my dressing table Is fitted for the various toilet articles, most of which have been gifts to me. Because of our cramped quarters in the city, Dicky and I are compelled to share the single bureau, something we both detest, and I have kept all my dainty things In my fitted bag. and put on the bureau only the plain est and most serviceable of dresser scarfs In obedience to his preference. Hut because of our expected guests, 1 had pushed Dicky's things back as much as I dared, and decked the dresser top bravely. Any housewife who prizes her possessions knows how near I was to angry, re bellious tears. But even as I grasped at the dresser searf to keep the piti ful remnants of my treasures from sliding to the floor, I forced my lips to • dutiful question. “Shall I get gauze and water for your finger?’’ Dicky forcibly consigned the fin ger to a distant and unpleasant place. "In the name of the Great Horned Toad,” he shouted angrily, “what's the big idea of cluttering this place up with all these glmcracks? I can’t find a thing of mine, and when I finally located my collar box, and pulled It over here, it stuck and the whole mess came down. I^ook at me! These trousers will have to go to the tailor, pronto.’’ I had been only angry and IffSiag.-ined before, but a note of bit terness entered my feeling at this point. He knew how I prized my dresser ornaments, he knew also how I worked to m-vke the apart ment attractive for the coming of the guests, but he had uttered no word of regret for the damage he had done. There had been nothing but concern for his own clothing, and censure for me. And I knew as well as if I had Wen standing next 1o him, that the whole thing was the result of his own carelessness. I could visualize the impatience with which he had jerked the collar box toward him. ■Luckily, you have two pair* o: trousers for that suit," I remarked calmly. "And If you don't mind tak ing care of that finger in the bath room, I’ll try to clean up here" I was turning up my skirt and fastening it In the manner least cal culated to crumple It as I spoke. And without another glance at Dicky, I reached past him into my part of the wardrobe, took down a big kitchen apron and tied it securely over mv gown. I felt his gaze on the back of my head, and was not surprised tf> hear him say grumpily: Lillian and Marion Arrive. 0^*'D'ye want any help?" "No. thank you," I returned, In voluntarily emphasizing the words more acrimoniously than I intended. "I can get along very nicely.” "Oh. go to the—" The person or place to which he sent me was lost In me slam of the door leading to the hall, and the next moment the sound of running water in the bathroom told me th.it lie was attending to his finger, which I had spen was but •tightly cut. I heaved a tiny sigh of thankfulness that 1 had not yet put my guest towels in place—long ex r, i-i- me with Dicky has taught nu In leave the filial touches to my bath mum until about two minutes tiefore t|m guests arrive—and afer a trip to Die kltehen for broom. T soon restored the room to order, although I ven tured no further decoration of the dresser, contenting myself with a plain white cover, and only the most necessary toilet accessories. YVlt h the refuse disposed of—I ■ould have wept as I threw away the fragments of glass and china—I sa: iuwn in the kitchen to wait until Dicky should he dressed before I re stored either bathroom nr bedroom to 'lie order in which I had Tnd them. But he delayed so long that Lil ian’s ring—three long notes and two .port—which always heralds her. munded before I had quite finished, >nd 1 was still In m./big apron with flushed face and hair a bit of dis heveled, when Dicky, who had run •ownstalrs at her ring, brought her ^tth Marion to our door.

Martha Allen PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX. i i . • I, ^ i - 1 Dear Mins Allen We are ruining to you for advice as many others have done. If boys you know, but do not like, ask for dances, how can you refuse them, but still be polite? If boys of fer you gum in public should you accept it, if not how should I refuse? A boy' I dislike y'ery much has been asking to take me out In the evening, should I go or should I not? I know a hoy^n our community who I love very much, but he will not notice me. What can I do to attract his attention? If Iwiys you do not like mention sending flowers or randy to you how can you refuse them politely? Hoping to sen our letter In print, we thank you in advance. POPULAR AND JUST IT. P. S.: We are 18 years old. It is very hard (o refuse a boy a dance Just because you do not like him. Why not dance once with him. One dance in an evening with someone wo do not care about will never do us any harm, but will make us unselfish and nothing is more at tractive than ah unselfish girl. t would advise you not to chew gum in public, .lust thank your friends when they offer it to you and say kindly that you do not care to chew gum in any public place. They will think all the more of you for this I would not go out with any boy I disliked. There is hardly anything you rsn do to attract the attention of the boy you speak of. Indifference is a very good way to attract a boy. Always appear to be having a very good time with others whenever he is looking on and pay no attention to him whatever. Try this out a few times. Refuse candy and flowers that you do not wish by saying to your friends; “Pleas* do not send me flowers or candy again. 1 would rather you would not do this." This can givV no offense and la your privilege. P. E. 0. Delegate* Return From Convention. Mrs. Bertha Clarke Hughes, retir ing president of the Supreme chap ter of P. E. O., Mrs. M. F.
