Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” Madge and Harriet Arrived at the Farm. "This Is rather early, going in on mother three hours ahead of time," Harriet said smiling, as we were being carried swiftly through the winding country roads I loved to the farm house which was the home dearest to me of any in my life. “I am shaking In my shoes,” 1 agreed, laughing. “She no doubt has planned something unusual In tlM way of a dinner for our welcome, and is lunching on pickups. I suppose we ought to have waited until the other train, but the chance of three extra hours with Junior was too great a temptation.” She looked at me oddly. "Is—it— like that?” she asked In a tense, con strained voice. I knew what she meant without ex plaining. Motherhood with Its over whelming love. Its fierce anxiety, lts predominance over every other in stinct In life, was a sealed bo^k to her, one which she never would open now. "Yes, It is very much like that," I returned. "My little mother used to say that parents never drew a free breath from their first baby's cry un til their own coffining, and I long since have learned the wisdom of the homely epigram.” “I suppose that's true," Harriet re plied slowly. "The constant suspense over possible accidents or Illness must oe terrible. I'm just as glad-” Mistaken Sacrifice, Her voice trailed away unsteadily, and I knew that her love of truth had halted her utterance. TUI Harriet Bralthwalte ceased to breathe, she would regret bitterly her mistaken sacrifice of motherhood to her hus band’s career. "There's the farmhouse now.” I said hastily, glad of the chance to change the subject. A light of anticipation leaped into her eyes, and I saw her hands frrenv bllng ever bo slightly. "It's a long time since I saw mother." she Bald, and I revised one judgment of my sister-in-law in that instant. I had thought her fond of her mother in a dutiful, unemo tional fashion, and that she had no difficulty in subordinating her filial affection to her love for her husband. But now I realized that though the consuming emotion of her life was her conjugal loyalty for which she ruthlessly put every other obligation iside, yet she had suffered from both her conscience and tier affections when she had neglected her mother for her husband's sake. I found myself nervously tense as tlie machine drew up to the side veranda of ‘he farmhouse. Would rriy mother-in law be so flustered at our arrival ahead of the time she had scheduled that she would be ir ritable and spoil the welcome for which her daughter’s heart was hun gering? Somewhat to my own sur prise, I realized that I had become a passionate partisan of my sad sis ter-in-law, and that I dreaded any . thing which would add even tlie pro verbial straw to the morbid mental burden sho was carrying. Welcome lluine. The door flew open as the driver . clambered down, and Murlon shouted an excited, “Hero they are, Junior. Here's mother! Walt darling! You mustu’t. run out like that"! "I want my mamma," Junior's treble averted defiantly, and the sound of the beloved little voice lent wings to my feed. X ran up the steps and • aught my little chap in my arms, forgetting everything else, until my mother-in-law’s voice sounded irltatily n my ears: "Do you realize Margaret, ' that you have left Harriet to pay the ' hauffeur on thle, her first nIkIl to us in years?" I knew very well what was the matter. It was not the trivial (ir ■ Uinstance of u taxi fure, but the subconscious jealousy of her idolized grandson's love for mo, ids mother, which edged her voice. I have ob ■erved that many grandmother!, ex Mbit, altogether unconsciously, this absurd Jealousy of their giandehll dren, and with amusement and irrl latlori mingling in my heart, I won lured If when my own turn should , r mo 1 should find myself rrseiil i ing— With a laugh which I dared not give openly, j brought myself up with t round turn. I would better wait until my small son entered kinder garten at least, I reminded myself, Wore anticipating future squabbles With his wife. Social Calendar Friday, December 28.

Elaine writes ashing if there is something wrong in her makeup for being ail upset about such women. "They seem to have the cream of life,” is her complaint. "My beaux can't provide such luxury. Will I be happy if I finally marry one who hasn’t much money?" Money is a great help toward hap piness, Elaine, but not everything, as many already know. Many of those women who cause so much wonder in your head would gladly change places with you for a chance of joy. Real devotion and a chance to be a partner in the struggle for success is what many of them crave. Unless you realize that love re quires sacrifice and patience, you IS miss a great deal that life haa to of fer. There are some women who in sist upon a strawberry and cream ex istence instead of recognizing that love demands that they give as well as receive. If you arc tempted to pass all your admirers by when they offer just love, you aro making a great mistake Choose a man who is certain of sue cess and gain world possessions by striving for them not by holding out your hands for them. When you are tired from work a pampered existence is appealing blit not satisfying. Women who live for such things have only material gain." that never bring real happiness Don’t confuse love with lazy luxury. They are miles apart. Pals—Length of your dresses de pends upon your height. Try several lengths before the mirror and de termine which is the most becoming. If both of you have brown hair and blue eyes, blue of most any shade ought to look well on you. • Dresses suitable for the school ban quet might be afternoon dresses of silk or velvet. Why not ask the other girls what they plan to wear'.' If the banquet is to be a big affair with dancing afterward, I suppose the girls will wear evening dresses. But remember. It is less embarrassing tc tie undeidressed than overdressed. Iamg hair la worn as close to the head as possible at present. Flat head bands are out of style. Anne—A trousseau tea Is usually given by the bride-to-be so as to dis play her entire trousseau to her friends. After the guests have been shown the trousseau, tea Is served. Sometimes a series of teas are given, such us one afternoon for her moth How Do You Like Your Toast? Whether you eat toast upon the recommendation of your physician, or whether you prefer it because of its crisp, fluffy deliciousness, you’ll find health and a new delight in this wholesome breakfast food. Rules for Making Good Toast If you like the crispy, snappy, ‘crunchy’ dry toast such as physi cians especially recommend because of its ability to stimulate the flow of gastric juices, follow these general rules: nUse your bread left over from the day before. Slice bread thin. Toast over a medium fire. Turn bread often. Use Peter Pan bread. Or if you prefer toast with golden, crisp crust and fluffy inside like popcorn— Use your freshest bread. Slice a little thicker. Toast over a hotter fire. Turn bread only once. Serve at once. Use Peter Pan bread. t Toast makes bread more delicious and more wholesome. It is bread at its best—more tempting in any way it is served. Toast • ing breaks some of the bread’s starch cells. It increases the roughage in bread, which is extremely necessary to the system. t When You Think oj TOAST, Think of Me-PKTKR PAN Peter Pan era rrlenrts, another ariernuun mi friends of the prospective bride, and still another afternoon tea for the married friends of the bride-to-be.
