My Marriage Problems
Adel* Garrison’s New Phase of “Revelations of a Wife”
The Angry Decision Dicky’s Tirade t
Forced on Madge.
At Dicky's sneering characteriza
tion of Tom Chester as a "boob” and
a ’’tame robin,” I pressed my lipB
tightly together in an attempt to dam ,
the torrent of angry invective I felt ,
surging agalnat them.
"I will not answer him. no matter
w hat he says.” X said over and over
again to myself.
Dicky, momentarily out of breath,
strode up and down the room. Sud
denly he halted in front of me. and
glowered down at me, his face distort
ed with rage.
"I wondered why you didn't make
■ more of a fuss O'er that Claire Foster
business," he snarled. "No wonder
,'ou canie running when I.sent for
you—with this—”
“You Pitiful Coward.’’
"You pitiful coward!”
The words tore from my throat
without my volition. The torrent
could no longer bo stemmed. I saw
Dicky'# face as through a mist—a
iril3t shot with flame that seemed to
envelope me with its heut. Then 1
felt myself go Icy cold, and heard my
nvfn voice speaking slowly, measured
)y. as If from a great distance away.
"You have chosen to twist the hys
terical gratitude of a boy Injured In
serving us Into something Justifying
a cowardly taunt to me," I said. “As
for the humiliating ordeal I have just
undergone on account of the Claire
Foster episode, please know once for
all that I did not come running when
you sent for me, either because of my
own conscience, a# you so chivalrous
ly Intimated, or because of the slight
est feeling for you. T hurried up state
in order to.stop the publicity which
would have been unbearable on ac
count of your mother snd—and—
.Junior."
My voice came near breaking at the
name of my little lad. but I steadied
It. and rushed on.
"Even if I had been responsible In
any way for Tom Chester's foolish
ness—which I was not-I deny your
right to call me to account with a
•ingle word—
You—you—why, almost since our
wedding day. you've humiliated me
and made me suffer because of your
affairs. Grace Draper, lSdith Fairfax.
Claire Foster—oh! I haven’t words to
tell you of what I have gone through!
And l have stood by and pretended
I did not understand, and straightened
thing* out for you. And this is my
reward.
Dicky Is Incoherent.
*'I thank you, however, for the
sharpness of the knife. It has cut a
bond of loyalty to you to which I
foolishly had dung. Never again, my
friend, will you have the opportunity
to taunt me with having stood by you.
Nor will you be given an opportunity
to interfere with any course of con
duct of mine.
"But you can he assured I shall do
nothing of which my boy, when he Is
older, can disapprove. I do not think i
[ can have that assurance concerning
you. But It matters not a farthing to
me. I am only glad that we can ring
the curtain, down on the farce which
we have called our marriage. And —
I am sorry to be discourteous and In
hospitable. but I should prefer your
staging any further melodrama in
some other room than mine."
T Jerked the door behind me open
and was glad, indeed of the support
my hand on the knob gave me. My
knees wero bucking beneath me, and
I wan horribly afraid that in another
few seconds my voice would break
Into hysterical, Incoherent anger. 1
could have flow n at Dicky with primi
tive tearing blows and scratches, and
I wanted more than anything else in
the world to have the barrier of a
locked door between us.
For a second or two which seemed
an eternity, Dicky stood staring at
me os If he were trying to remember
where he had seen me before. Then
he bowed ceremoniously. .
“I am charmed to have Ibis reve
lation of your real sentiments," he
began with Icy courtesy, then the
blood rushed Into his face again, and
he choked out an Incoherent tirade
of which I could only distinguish the
words:
"—Will get out of here in an hour,"
and a final vehement. "Go plum to,”
with the last word drowned by the
slam of the door as he mailed out Into
the hall.
And 1—behind the security of my
j locked door—gave myself up to prittil
;tlve, unbridled rage nod hysterical
j sobbing

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am coming
to vou for your advice on the ques
tion which I am going to ask. I am
in love with a young man in my home
tow n, who I have gone with quite s
lot. but he never asks to go with me.
lie always is friendly to me when 1
am around him and tells me that he
likes me. Sometimes he acts very
strangely and I always think he is
thinking of me when he does. In my
place what would you do? 1 am a
year his senior and um out of school,
while he still Is In school.
BROWN EYES.
There is nothing for >ou to do ex
cent to lie friendly and fair to the
young man. If he wants io go with
you he will let his voice be heard,
lie may have some reasons for not
wishing to go to places with you.
Perhaps lie cannot afford to remain
In school and benu a girl around, loo.
Certainly Yes.
Deni Alisa Fairfax: After an eve
nlng of amusement such as n theater
or dance, should s girl thank her es

girl ask n boy to call? If so, what
should she say? Thanking you ill ad

Should you thank a boy for lielng

• "Ton may go," his mother said,
"hut you must take an umbrella.
We’re going to have rain."
Now. Johnnie Green didn’t like t •
carry an umbrella.
"I don't think it's going to tain.'
He grumbled. "I'll ask father If I
need to take our."
"Vour father has gone to the \il
lage " Mrs. Green told him. "Aftivbe
you'd rather stay at home, anyhow. '
"Oh, no!" Johnnie exclaimed quick
ij. And snatching up his umbrella
he slipped out of the door.
"I'm not going to walk 'w , oxer

ne Green knew he found himself Bit

puddle holding the wrecked umbrella
aloft.
Mistah Mule was standing a little
distance away with his hack to the
storm, hunched up, and with his head
drooping.
Johnnie didn't caic to mount him
again. He led Mistali Mule home,
with the soft mud sucking at his own
feet with every step he took.
'There was a cyclone for a few
moments." he told the family while
he dried himself in the kitchen.
Farmer Gieen had come home. And
when he heard all of Johnnie's story
he quickly guessed the truth of the
matter. Mistali Mule liked umbrellas
