My Marriage Problems Adele Garrison's New Phase of "Re%elations of a Wife." The Si range Way Claire Foster Went About Her Toilet. The anxiety in Dicky's voice as he asked me what was the matter with <'laire Foster was like a match ap plied to a heap of oil-soaked shav ings. But with the Machiavellian tac tics which I think are often a sub conscious accompaniment of jealousy, t covered my real feelings under a stinging retort, which held no note of rancor against the girl. "X do not know why she shouldn't be ‘sore at you,' as you so exquisite ly term It,’’ I said icily. "An exhi bition such as you gave Just now is not particularly calculated to allure any woman a generation beyond sav agery.” Wisely, I gave him no chance to re *ply. but hastened into the room Claire Foster had Just entered. As I closed the door behind me 1 heard a sound from Dicky, which might have been an exclamation of anger, hut which founded suspiciously like a chuckle. Was it possible? Speculations as to Dicky’s men tal processes fled at the sight of < 'lalre's bedtime beauty rites. In the minute or two which had intervened between her entrance and mine into the room I had planned we should share, she had taken off her gown, and—enveloped in a negligee—was seated at the only dressing table, which she had strewn with an array or rather disarray of toilet articles. It looked exactly as If she had turned her bag upside down upon the sur face of the table. The face she turned toward me was i^Rmeared with daubs of cold cream and she was rapidly twisting the front and side locks of her hair about kid curlers, I stood frankly staring at her for a second, then, snatching at the remnant of my breeding, turned my eyes away from her and began to busy myself with iny own undress ing. But an amused little laugh, and the sound of her voice in an indo lent drawl, turned my face toward her again. "Thanks for fhe Compliment.” "Are you shocked, old dear?" she gibed. "I’ll admit I wouldn't take any 'prizes at the artists’ ball, but it's only dames with complexions and nat urally wavy locks like yours who can do without these little artificial aids.” The wondering comment that she had gon* through no such perform ance upon the preceding night in the mountain hotel was upon my lips, but I forced it hack, although I filed away for reference the undeniable fact that her hair had been wavy and her complexion good in the morning of the day Just closing. “Nary a shock,” I answered light ly. "But truly I never dreamed that you needed any aids to comeliness. In fact, I think you are cheating yourself into thinking you do.” "Thanks for the compliment." she retorted. "But 1 know my own limi tations. I won't be long, though. I'll be through here and cleared away by the time you're ready for the table." She w*s as good as her word, and my furtive glances as she worked made me puzzle over her actions more than ever. For she was taking no pains whatever with her hair, slm 'ply twisting it up rapidly in varying sizes of curls, with no attempt at regularity. And when she had fin ished and swept her things into a disorderly pile at one side of the dressing table, she turned to me a face so changed that I wondered so pretty a girl should be willing to look so ugly even in the privacy of her room, let alone before the eyes of another woman. Heedless of Dicky. She tied the girdle of her negli gee more closely about her waist, fas tened it at the neck with a brooch, then caught up her toothbrush and tooth paste and walked toward the door. "I do hope there's warm water in the bathroom faucets," she said, with her hand on the doorknob, and I caught my breath in the realization that Dicky was still in the room fac ing the door, and that he would have a full view of her grotesque appear ance. Had she forgotten that he was there?" For the fraction of a second 1 struggled with the temptation to let her go without warning her of Dicky's proximity. I felt meanly that he would see her in such unattrac tive guise. Then my conscience tri umphed and I breathlessly Enid: "Dicky's out there. She waved a debonair hand toward me as she passed through the door. "I should worry.” she said blithely, and the next instant I heard her voice accosting Dicky. "You are absolutely the laziest look lng thing J ever saw," she said.

We'll move right in and be all settled before we know it." So they caught up their bundles of household goods. And Mr. Rabbit led the way to the old hollow tree which Uncle Isaao Bunny had pointed out to him. Reaching It quickly, Mr. Rabbit stood beside ttfe door, while he mo tioned to Mrs. Rabbit to enter firBt. “Our new home!’’ said Mr. Rabbit with a smile. “It's better than the one we've just left. It’s bigger; and nMfcj ‘What's tha matter ?%he spluttered, for ha had a mouthful of mow. t do believe the neighborhood is more fashionable.” Mrs. Rabbit was delighted. She giggled with pleasure as she poked her head through the doorway. She had only one regret. I* "It's a great pity,” she murmured. "that I forgot to bring my best bon net.” And then site Jumped hack, bump ing into Mr. Rabbit and bowling him over in the snow. "What's the matter?” he spluttered, for he had a mouthful of snow. "Matter!” cried Mrs. Rabbit: "There’s somebody living here al ready. I can see a pair of eyes in side this house.” Mr. Rabbit turned pale. "Is it possible,” he gasped, "that Uncle Isaac Bunny played a trick cn me? He said the house was empty. I always knew he was an old rascal. But I didn’t think, on a stormy day like this, when a family was home less, as we are—” “Well, Mr. Rabbit never finished that speech. For a voice from inside the house piped up, calling out, “Wel come home, good people! I thought I’d come in first and surprise you. I knew it wouldn’t seem so cheerless If you found an old friend to greet you when you moved into your new house." It was Uncle Isaac Jiunny s voice. Mr. and Mr*. Rabbit gave each other a queer look. Somehow they were not as pleased as they might have been. And Mr. Rabbit couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. He had Just called Uncle Isaac a hard name. "Well, well!” he said hastily. "A ahern! Very kind of you, I’m sure, Uncle Isaac! We'll bring our bundles inside—if you don’t mind step ping out, first.” “Oh! There’s no need of my going out of doors," said Uncle Isaac Bunny. "This is a big house. There’s plenty of room for me and you and a dozen bundles, if you had that many. Come right in!” "He means to stay,” said Mrs. Rab bit to her husband, under her breath. "Don't worry!" Mr. Rabbit whis pered. "I’ll find a way to get rid of [ him.” Tomorrow: The Rabbit Family Enjoy Their First Meal in Their New Home. (Copyright, 1923.)

Please couldn't you tell me w hy it is and what I can do or say to attract the boys' attention? One girl T know Isn't as good looking ns T am and she is real popular. I am not self conscious or always thinking of my looks, and, thirdly, I have been writ ing to a young man I went with a few times before I left home, and he has not answered my last letter, which is about a month ago. Shall I write to him again, for r do like him real well?
