THE SECRET POCKET t t i ,By WALTER J. DELANEY PADEREWSKI AT THE PIANO (Copyright, 1J6, Wetr Newlr Union) "You delightful young niniii" com mented .Mi'.s. Laura Doluvnn sincere ly. "Hut look ut jour raincoat!" "It Is nothing, considering tin; serv Ico rendered," bowed Kodnoy Clove, uud he was thu courtly gentleinun complete as lie lifted his hut and drow nsldo discreetly, as thu lady reached Uio stops of lior palatial home nnd re warded his attentions with un admir ing glance. Never since tho days of good old Queen Bess of Merrlo Kngland, when Hlr Walter Itulelgh Hot the example young Clove had now followed, had a more delicate compliment been paid to womankind. Coming down tho street, Olovo had aeon the Delevan automo bile halted with n Jar directly In tho Description of Great Matter's Playing Well Called a Gem of Humor ous Composition. Tho dwith recently of IM II. Smith recalled the humorous editorials which Hindu his little newspaper, the Chula News, noted. Tho one which llrst drew attention to It follows: "We heard the Polnndcr. Padorew xkl. play the ptnno In Kansas City last night. The follow Is deceitful. He makes you think all the time that ho Is going to play n tune, hut ho never does. He flirts all around a tune, but never touches It Ills hair looks like a wig, but It Isn't. He deceives you In n hundred ways. IIo makes tho sweetest sounds you ever hoard that were not a tune. IIo has his piano so trained that the doggone thing will keep right on playing when he Is not touching It. lie reaches out slowly and strokes It, drawing back his el bows like a man brushing a girl's hnir. You fee the moonlight and you're there with your girl, but somehow she don't love you. Wo know the sorrow STOP, middle of tlm road. "Something broken," unnounced thef that, and that's why wo don't like plmulTeiir. and Clove Htenned to tho I'aderowskl. I Here curb. Mrs. Delovnn, fair nnd forty, hud pushed open tho door of tho ma chine. "Can you not got nearer to tho curb, John?" alio inquired petulantly. "Imposslblo, ma'am," enmo tho dell nlto reply. "Tho power Is gone nnd It's something serious." Kodney Clevo know Mrs. Delevan by sight. For two months she had been a bugaboo in his life without knowing It IIo had met her niece, bright, pret ty Tatty Delovun, who lived with hor, at Bovcrnl social functions, had fallen deeply In lovo with her and had re ceived Homo encouragement In return, but Patty, while she had allowed him to sco her homo on two occasions, had parted with him at the vestibule door and hud never Invited htm to call. Then a friend had enlightened Clove. "Mr. Delevan Is a high and mighty descendant of the very oldest Puritan Btock," this Informant said, "and Mrs. Delevan Is a social leader. As to Patty, they guard and guldo her as If sho were some princess, crowd off tho fellows, circumscribe her list of acquaintances and frown on the least sign of nn attachment." It was no marvel, therefore, as Cleve found himself In a position to nerve this formidable ogress that ho was Inspired to a remarkable act, lie had whippet I off Ids raincoat swiftly; ho had spread It out from the curb to the fttcp of the automobile, hail extended Ids hand and tho lady hud thus safely evaded tho soil and wet of the muddy Dtreet. Ills heart (Inhered as he snatched up the coat and shook It Into folds and carried It away with mm. There was no sense of affectation or the rldlcu lous, for he hail followed a precept of Ids father, drilled Into him since child hood. A stickler for propriety, tho elder Clevo had made a record as a grnclous, courtly gentleman of the good old kind. It was a few days after tho Incident of the stalled automobile that Mr. Cleve called Uodney Into tho library I haven't forgotten that this Is your birthday, Kodnoy," ho said, "nnd my tailor suggested a practical present," nnd ho removed from a box an over coat built on lines In exquisite bar mony with tho prevailing dlctntcs of fashion. Kodnoy expressed pleased npproba tlon and gratefulness. Then, dlscoV' crlng a small silt on the Inner arm of the garment, ho Inquired "Hero is a new wrinkle to me. Whnt Is this for?" "A pocket for tun dainty hand of any young lady to whom you may hap pen to bo escort when the weather Is cold," explained Mr. Olovo ltodney sighed Inwardly. Would the fnlr hand of Patty Delovan ever nestle there? a ween uuer, passing tiio opera house, Kodnoy recognized Mrs. Dele vnn In tho lino of those purchasing nd vnnco seats. Again tho courteous lm pnisc came into piny. tiio ogress Binlled graciously as ho stepped to her side, "You will huvo to stand In line for half nn hour at least," ho spoke. If yon will step Into tho lobby whoro It Is warm, I will see thnt you got what tickets you want through my friend In the box olnco." "Of nil tho admirable young men," murmured Mrs. Delovnn, as Clevo re turned. Could ho bo of any further sorvico? Sho was going only a fow squnres to lior husband's ofllce. He would bo Bind to bo her escort, nnd as walks wero slippery would sho tnko his nnn? Quito nnturally, as sho did so, her hand slipped Into tho secret pockot. How original I whnt a cozy concep tion 1 Sho really must lntroduco him to hor husband after nil his kindly attentions, and Cleve felt thnt ho had certainly acquired n footing In their good graces. It was a vast step forward when later an Invitation camo from Mr. nnd Mrs. Delovnn to n social function ut tholr homo. Wise, delighted Patty never Intimated to her aunt that thoy had mot before. Mutually hopeful, thoy allowed matters to drift. Into that snmo secrot sleeve pocket Patty's dainty-gloved hand slipped one evening, ns was his wont, as they wero bended for nn ontortalnment.

With the new radio circuits In op eration between America and tho far ICast, It Is comforting to know, even If one has Infrequent occasion to com municate with Japan, Hawaii and the Philippines, that the new service Is considered quite reasonably Inexpen sive.

Even If tho rates were higher, how ever, tho new circuits would be wel comed by American business Interests, for tho development of trade,- as well as tho transmission of news, has been seriously handlcnpped by lack of facili ties for communication.
