18 THE HEK: OM AHA, SATURDAY. DKCEMBKK" l(, vm.' My Marriage Problems A del Usrrlaun'l Km tbM ol " REVELATIONS OF A WIFE" The Wjr Madge Avoided a QiurrtI With Dicky. Irriuiion at Duky fopprd my as VmUhiiicut at hi acutrneii ol ptr tYpiioii concerning my uni!luignc to leave the Cos-grove larnihouw be fore Uc IJean's departure. I reverted mentally to an almost fiirK"tten epithet of my litlle girl Kliool (lay, tuld myself that he wai Jcciilcdty "Mitarty" in lii exhibition of inind-reaJjiig. To show him that he was miftiukrii I would have given much, ami in the attempt saind the 3r,-t thing that came into my head. If you had permitted me to titui.it my sentence," I said with mendacious dignity, "you would hive learned that not Jdim Dean, but your titter, Kluahetli, U the real reason (or my wishing to delay in going home." Hi fare darkened. I knew the look. Jt wan the "in-law" glance worn by most husband and wive when the relative upon the "other tide" are being discued. I ant not o ure that my own face had not unconsciously assumed it. "What the matter with Lia?" be demanded. "She's always been pretty decent to you." "U that to be counted an especial ur in her erowrt of rejoicing?" I retorted. "Hut, it happen, I'm not denying her kindness and for bearance to an outtander. I'm kimply looking at thing in a common-sen way. You know very well that with Kluabeth and William and four children there, it will be most coin fuijing for u to come in upon them, Mother and Katie wilt be fit to be tied." I hurried nervously through my I.tst wordii, for I wa a trifle ashamed of the reference I had made to an old grudge of mine. , When Dicky and I were married, bit mother and hi sister had been decidedly cmd and lofty, with the evident attitude that the idolized male of the Ltinily had made a mesalliance. All three of them in the year ince then had tried to atrttie for their lack of cordiality, but 1 never had felt that Elizabeth's contrition was sin cere. My mother-in-law I had grown to love-tincerely, and I felt distinct af fection and admiration for Harriet Draithwaite, Dicky'i elder iter. Uut Kluabeth Harrison to outward ap pearance the sweetest-tempered, most placid of the three women always had aliened me adversely, and in my inmost heart I knew that I never had forgiven her for those long past slight, although I had tried to keet) my feeling from my husband" knowledge as much as it ' was in feminine nature to do. Dicky sprang to hi, feet, crossed the room, and towered above me, frowning. "Commend me to a woman for digging old grudges from their graves," he said scathingly. "But if your sensitive soul is so wrung by the prospect of Lisa's proximity, why there is nothing more to be said. I'll wire her that you'd like to have her clear out before you get there." That in a sudden gust of anger Dicky would be perfectly capable of doing the preposterous thing he had suggested I well knew. And I thor oughly appreciated the necessity of turning his anger in some other di rection, or diverting him - to good humor if it were possible to do to. "Commend me to a man for twist ing innocent remarks to suit his own convenience!" 1 retorted. "Because I am planning to save confusion, guard your mother from worry, and, incidentally, to keep you the one who would most dislike the confu sion from a distasteful experience, you fly into a passion and plan to send an insulting message like that to your sister. As for this sudden hurry to go home, dou't think you arc misleading me. ' I am perfectly welt aware that there will be no especial attraction for you hereafter Bess Dean goes home. I stopped abruptly, breathless, a trifle terrified, 'and bravely suppress ing a desire to laugh. For Dicky's face was a studv in bewilderment. ' It is my pride that I have always kept any jealousy under such rigid control that Dicky could have no possible knowledge save his own keen intuition that it existed. And I had had no need of suppressing any feeling concerning Hess Dean save a possible amazement at her audacity. That Dicky had fathomed my atti tude toward her J was sure, and I appreciated to the full the bewildered surprise which was his at my out burst. "Well, I'll be eternally boiled in oil if you aren't the outside limit!'' he gaipcd. "Do you mean to tell me that you've taken seriously" " , Something in my eye must have betrayed me. lie stopped short and looked at me steadily. Then, with a chuckle, be seized tnc by the shoulders and shook me with a bur lesqued energy, his good , humor palpably restored. "You little devil," he said, "Kv had nothing on you for getting out of a slippery situation. "Because you were peeved at me for iniiul reading your desire Jo let Bess Dean fly tltf coup first,' you ilu Lisa in, Then, when you're afraid I'll spill the bean in that direction, you switch hack and try to make me be lieve you re jealous. 'Dam ill I'd like to inako you red headed, crazy jealous of me just once. Hut you re too cold-bloodedly 1'uritan for that." Red Cross 'Mrs. A.
