Problems That Perplex Answered by BEATRICE FAIRFAX Ask Him to Call. Dear Miss Fairfux: I am 21 and in ter* sted in a man of 42. He has help ed mo considerably in my work, and has taken a personal Interest in ine. By his conversation I can tell he would like to call. Owing to bushiest) reverses which my people have suffer ed due to the war we are compelled to reside tn ono of our tenement houses, which we own. This man is very wealthy. I do not know what to ilo, whether to ask him to call or not. I have been accustomed to the best tilings of life, and have been educated in s lect schools, so you can imagine, my feelings. ANNA. If you have a background of cul ture and refinement any mun w ho has a selective sense will feel It. If a man has a fine, dependable character ho will not let your surroundings blind him to what you are. Vou see It is a sort of endless chain. And the man who will respect you less beeause re verses have forced you out of the environment to which you are ac customed is probably not capable of the sort of regard *vhich would do you much good under any circumstances. If you have a real love for beauty you will not fail to make your home attractive. Never mind location—the spirit in the house is what counts. And don't permit your own spirit to be one of apology—or of snobbery. So —don't hesitate to offer the man the true hospitality of what I hope is a true home. Kussel: Let her alone for awhile. Perhaps she will decide later in your favor, but while this mood is upon her. pursuing her might prove fatal. I wouldn't do it. In Doubt: Perhaps what lie says is true. And the experience a good one for both of you. Yes. I’d lake him bark. Kuih: 1 think 1 would surprise him next time and not be there when I he arrives late. You may be seeing j too much of each other anyway, and i perhaps a temporary separation might help. _ Rub the creaky closet doors and bureau drawers with soap.

CRUEN WALTHAM ILLINOIS HAMPTON HOWARD ELGIN My Marriage Problems Adelo Garison's New Phase of “Revelations of a Wife." What Madge Compelled Dick}' t«i Agree to Do. The feline side of me. hidden some where in almost every woman—and in many men, for that matter—was so absorbed in the game of delicately punishing Dicky for tho humiliation he had put upon me that it had dulled my generally lively realization of my huband's hair-trigger temper. But my perceptions were suddenly sharpened when, at my languid re quest to spare me the details of his explanation, he muttered savage execration, and thrust his white, tense face close to mine, his eyes blazing with anger. "So, that's the way you’re going to perform, Is it?" he snarled. "Well, two oati play at that game! I've tried to be decent about it, lint I’in through. I’ll get out here and walk back to the nearest railroad station, and you and Claire Foster and every other woman In the world can go to the devil.” He leaned forward and raised his hand to tap on the glass separating us from the taxi driver, hut with an agile movement and a strength which I did not know I possessed, 1 grasped his hand. Taking advantage of his surprise and his cramped position. I forced Dicky back into his seat, and leaned over him In such a manner that he would have been compelled to push me violently away in order to reach the glass again. Then I spoke, slowly. Icily with some genu ine anger and much more that was assumed in my voice. "Of Course, You’re llight.” "You’ve tried to be decent about it,” 1 repeated. "You've tried to lie decent! And you're through? No, you're tiotS You’re going to listen to me for a minute or two, 1 didn’t get you Into this scrape, and 1 don't fare a button about it -one way nr the other except for one thing. For our hoy's sake, and you mother's and my own, I do not want any more pub licity about it than we have had. You sent for me, and I came, not because you sent for me, but because I saw that in no other way could I stop this fool thing being aired all over this section. The reporters were al ready on the job when I left, and are on the road to the resort now. "And let me tell you now," 1 went on so swiftly he had no chance to interrupt, “you’re not going to spoil my plnns with anger, because T don't play, tlie patient Oriselda and listen to your explanations! I'll play that role in public, but not in private, thank you. I'm going to depict the loving, guileless, unsuspecting wife, for nU the part is worth, and I'm go ing to take Claire Foster with me If she’ll go. And—you’re going to play up to me every second of the time until were safe from spying ryes. After that I don’t care what you do. But you certainly owe me that much." Before I had finished speaking his hand and body had relaxed their an gry tension, and he had plumped down into his seat. But there was a long minute of palpitant, potential si lence before he spoke. “Of course, you're right," he said at last, and there was no anger in his voice, only a note of weary bitterness, which queerly enough, sent a tiny ap prehensive thrill through me. "You al ways are. And I'm an abysmal brute, a Gadarene swine, and all the rest of it. And I'll play up ;tll right—both | in public and private. You need not fear any further annoyance," Madge Is Apprehrnsiie. j I let go his hand and sank buck Into | (he seat with a perfunctory "Thank you.” To my surprise l found thUt 1 was trembling as from a chill, though 1 was warmly wrapped, and the night was not especially cold. 1 could have uttered nothing else calmly if my life had depended upon it. For though I was secretly eluted or my victory, there was that in Dicky's hitter, weary tones which vaguely frightened me. I realized that I had. been a hit intoxicated with the heady draught which the words of Mr. Itick ett, the reporter, had given me. "He doesn’t know w hether she cares a burton for him." Mr. Rickett had said, referring to Dicky, amt he also had praised what he called my mar velous self control. With the clarity which a sudden jolt sometimes gives, I saw that the fabric of my just re sentment at Hick} had been heavily embroidered with fanciful ideas of liv ing up to the picture Mr. Rickett had drawn of me. Had I overdone it’.’ My mental eyes i were clearing, and I knew that while j 1 desired to punish my husband, and my cold wrath against him was slill strong within me, yet I did not wish to I I give him a wound w hich would not heal. But there was no retracing ray I steps now. 1 had committed myself i to the role I was playing, and I must | go on with it. And there was no op portunity for any change in my atti tude, for in the next minute or two,! the taxi turned Into a driveway and drew iqi before the lighted door and 1 windows of a large house, evidently our destination.

There was one lesson that Mrs. Fox took great pains to teach her son* Never stop trying! Maybe that was the reason why Tommy Fox spent a good deal of his time hunting Mr. Grouse in the woods. Almost anybody would have said that Tommy Fox would never, never be able to euteh Mr. Grouse. Though Tommy was quick, it seemed as if Mr. Grouse was even quicker, lie And then Me Grouse Sa-e himself a sharp twitcls could leave, tic ground like a shot out of a gun. And he made such a racket when he heat the air with his stout wings that it was enough to frighten you, even though you might be expecting it. The first time Tommy Fox heard Mr. Grouse rise into file air he ran home and told Ids mother ttint he heard thunder out of a clear sky, right over ids head. lint lie soon learned that Mr Grouse's nolso meant notldng except that lie had escaped danger another time. Again and again Tommy tried to creep pp behind that plump gentle man But somehow Mr.- Grouse al ways know that he was there. "Ho you think I'll ever catch him, Mother?” Tommy asked Mrs. Fox after losing Mr. Grouse for the 27th time. "You won't if you stop trying,” she replied. "Then I'll go hack and hunt him, again.” Tommy declared. Mrs. Fox was pleased when he said that. "Perhaps you’d better try a young grouse,” she suggested. “The young sters aren't quite so wary as our Mr. Grouse, lie's a sharp old bird, or ho wouldn’t he living right here in these woods year after year.” The Fox family had fallen into the habit of saying "our Mr. Grouse,” be cause they all hoped to catch him off $1 Buys 24 Distribute Them on Christmas Day Little bright red packages packed full of lusciouls little seedless Sun-Maid Rais ins—every Kiddie wants one on Chrisi mas Day.

And lie always made quits a joke of It among Ids friends. “The Fox family’s Mr. Grouse will now do this or that," lie used to say. He was thought by his friends to hi' very funny. In spite of Ids mother's ad\ ice. Tom my Fox went, off to make one more try for Mr. Grouse that afternoon. And as tie left, Ids mother remarked to his father, "Tommy's a good scholar. He's learning his lesson's will. lies Island to he a good hunter." Well, after one escape from Tommy Fox earlier In Hit afternoon, Mr. Grouse for onee was caught napping. He didn't suppose tiiat Tommy Fox would come hack so soon to annoy him, and he was silting on the ground day dreaming, when something brought 1dm to his senses with a rude shock. Something seized him by the tail feathers. Mr. Grouse looked around w dilly. Tommy Fox had eatight hint at last! “Won’t mother be pleased when I take our Mr. Grouse home and show hint to her!" Tommy thought joyfully. And then Mr. Grouse gave himself a sharp twitch. All at once Tommy found himself holding Mr. t Ironse s tail between ins teeth, while Mr. Grouse himself rose wilh a thunder ous beat of ids w jrigs and went sailing off among the tree tops. “l.ook, mother!'’ cried Tommy a lit tle later. “See what I've got!’’ "Our Mr. Grouse's tail feathers',” Mrs. Fox exclaimed, for she knew that tall the moment she set eyes on It. "lie got away,” Tommy explained. 1 “Did yon ever?'* laughed Mrs. Fox turning (o her husband. But Mr. Fox took only a mild In terest in Mr. Grouse’s tail. “Next time,” ho growled at Tommy, “grab him by the neck and let his tail fly off wherever It pleases.” "I'll try," wild Tommy, remember ing his lessen. "You did well," his mother told him warmly. “Your father has never pull ed even one feather out of our Mr. Grouse's tail. And he has been hunt ing him for several years.” Those that knew said tlmt Mr. Grouse never joked again nor cracked a smile until the following spring. (Copyright, 1922.)
