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. _

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.

VENTURER
IUR SaTT BAILET
\
CHAPTER XVIh
Our Mr. Grouse.
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

his guard some day and have him for1
their own. Mr. Grouse knew it him
si If. 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.
