Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” The Reason Dicky Delighted Madge, Then Astonished Her. Who's the nifty lady that lives on our stairs? Perhaps I should say on this floor, but I guess stairs will do, for there I see her every time I climb the weary flight,” said Dicky when he had safely closed the door behind him not half an hour after he had tele phoned. “I mean the dame with the abundant figure and the baby stare?" I hart gazed at Dicky bewildered un til his last sentence; then light dawned upon me. "Oh!” I cxclamled, none too pleased, as Dicky was swift to see and I to realize he saw, for I caught the glint of impish glee in his eyes as he swiftly countered; "Spill the story, old dear.” "There’s nothing to spill.'' I tried hard to match his mood with a twinkle of my own. "Except—Oh, Dicky, you should have seen her when she came in to borrow an onion—actually an onion—not an hour ago. Why, I never saw such a getup. or heard such im pudent—no, I don't mean quite that," 1 admitted. “But—’’ "Simply must be seen and heard to be appreciated,” Dicky paraphrased, as he put his arm about me and drew me down beside him on the sofa. "Why, she had the effrontery to comment on your appearance. She said she had seen you .on the stairs—” "She's honest, sweetheart, give her credit for that," Dicky tweaked my ear and I made a saucy moue at him lie fore he pulled my head down on his shoulder, "jfftt, seriously, dear," his voice was more like my Peter Pan than I had heard it in months, “I’m not altogether crazy ahoat tills .pal ace you picked out for- our ‘town house.' Can’t you better our humble condition? I’ll help—” A Friendly “Tilt." "That’s precisely why we're here,” I said mischievously, though with perfect, truth, then hastily added, for I felt Dicky s arm relax and I feared to spoil these hours so like our honey moon. "I know you meant to help me hut how could I—with nothing to do but go house hunting—expect you, my doughty knight of the pencil and brush, to lay aside your labors for me bread and butter and that of his high ness, our—” "Can the chatter, old thing!” Dicky's arm was tight about me again and I knew the danger was past, knew also that hp was enjoying our tilting ns much—indeed, far more than I. "What was it you said about mother's letter? I didn't get you.” "Oh!" my heart constricted as there flashed before my eyes the post card with its cryptic seven words in the handwriting of a man which mother Graham had sent in her daily letter about Junior. "Mother enclosed a post card which I want you to read. It—" "Gee!" Dicky nearly upset me, so swift W'as his movement in rising to a sitting posture and pulling out his watch with his disengaged hand. "I clean forgot to telephone Alt that we'd meet them at 7:30.’’ “Tear I'p That Post Card.” "But I thought you told me over the telephone,” I began, but he cut me short with an impatient exclama tion as he disengaged his arm from around me. rose and went to the tele phone. I heard him give the telephone num ber of Alfred Durkee's-office to Cen tral. the while I wondered whether Dicky ever would grow up, and then in a flash there came the thought that I would not have him other than he Is. "Guess they're closed for the day.” he turned from the telephone to me, then, after he had Joggled the hook up and down several times and had asked central to cancel the number, he said with a cheery smile: “But I guess it will he all right. They'll be there w'ith their hair in two braids, never fear.” He pulled off his coat, yawning the while. "Pardon me,” he mnde a low oheisance with mockery In every movement, "If it pleaseth thee, 1 shall rest my weary body for—for ty—” "But it doesn't please me. Dicky. I tried for an excuse for a laugh, but failed dismally. "That post card—’’ "Who's it from?" There was a fur row between his dancing eyes that belied his palpable attempt to appear to he concentrating upon the subject which obviously did not interest hint one whit. "1 don't know,” I looked straight into his eyes, hoping to catch the first gleam of interest. What 1 saw there was not what I had hoped or expected. A sudden flame of cool, calculating, concen trated anger, unlike anything I had ever before seen in Dicky’s eyes— accustomed as I am to his flares of Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS. Discomfort you me bound to faca Wherever you are out of place. —Johnny Chuttt. Johnny Chuck Becomes Very l nconi fortable. New sitting up on a tree may be ail right for people like Happy Jack Squirrel and Chatterer the Red Squir rel, who are accustomed to sitting m At last everyone went away except Keddy Fox. trees, but for one who is not used to anything of the kind sitting in a tree very long at a time becomes uncom fortable. Johnny Chuck wats finding It so. Yes, sir. Johnny Chuck was finding so. At first he hadn’t minded it at all. But after a while the crotch in which ho was sitting began to grow more a od mote uncomfortable, until It seemed to him that it was the most rage—swept away the quizzical ex pression they had held. "Forget it," lie exclaimed. "I don't want any more of this melodramatic business in my life. Don't forget that l almost lost you through your stub born determination to have your own way. No. I don’t intend—I wouldn't think—of trying to boss you, but you lake my advice, tear up that post card and forget about It." He swung on his heel and walked into the bedroom, leaving me so astounded that there was no room in my heart or mind for resentment. uncomfortable place he bad ever been in an all hia life. You see he couldn’t change his position for fear of fall ing. It wasn't a big tree, and so the branches were not big enough to af ford Johnny Chuck a comfortable seat. Johnnv tried climbing up to a crotch above the one in which be had been sitting, but this proved to be worse than the other, so he climbed down again. All the time jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun was climbing higher and higher in the blue, blue sky, and Johnny was becoming uncomfortably warm. How he did want to get down on the ground! My, my, my, how he did want to get down on the ground! But there lay Reddy Fox cruled up just a short distance away, appearing to he asleep. Johnny wasn't fooled. No, Indeed, Johnny wasn't fooled. He knew that Reddy wasn't asleep and had no Intention of going to sleep. He knew that Reddy was just waiting for him to come down. Minute by minute Johnny Chuck grew more and more unhappy. His position was strained and this made his arms and legs grow tired. It seemed to him that ho couldn't slay up there any longer. But so long as Reddy Fox was down there so near the foot of that tree he would have to stay up in it. To make matters worse Black tlie Crow and Sammy Jay had spread the news all around, and every one who could fly took occasion to pass that way and make some remark. At least it seemed to Johnny Chink that every one who coulld fly came along. Of course it wasn't quite true. But Johnny had enough visitors to make him think it was true. The worst of it was each one gave him advice, and advice was something that. Johnny Chuck didn't want and had no use for. Johnny knew exactly what he could and couldn't do, and all the advice in the world wouldn't change things. At last everybody went away ex cepting Reddy Fox. Even Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow flew away. You ace, it looked very much as If noth ing would happen there. It looked very much as If Johnny Chuck would stay right where he was until the patience of Roddy Fox gave out. So Johnny was left to himself. Had he not been so uncomfortable he would have grow n sleepy. But he was too uncomfortable and too worreid to grow sleepy, and perhaps It was just as well. You see. had he grown sleepy Beatrice Fairfax Problems That Perplex Can Kove Be Won. Dear Miss Fairfax: I’m in love with a man who doesn’t care for me at all. We meet seldom and I have no natural opportunity to get to be a habit with him or to attract him through propinquity. X am shy and reserved and none of my friends took to me easily. But now 1 have good friends and some admirers as well. But the one man 1 care for doesn't seem to know that I exist. Fife isn't worth much to me without him, as X have proved to myself by almost a year of absolute devotion to him and all he means to me. My pride won’t let me do anything which might humiliate me in case there Is no bhsis for mutual attrac tion. X can’t take a step toward him —and he doesn't take a step toward me. I am to see him at a dinner in a month. I suppose the hostess would give liini to me for a partner, but I'm ashamed to ask her. What would you do in my place? MXi.XlRI’.D. Suppose. Mildred, you wanted to secure a good position. Would you hesitate to work for it? Suppose you wanted to get an advance In your own tirm. would you refuse to make some honest effort to call attention to what you had to recommend you? And now that you want what seems to you the Vdggest thing life can offer you—why not set out to win it? The normal human instinct Is to go after your mate. Whether it be by unconscious allurement, or by honest mental effort, your heritage from pre historic man Is to make some struggle to attract the man you love. And the only thing that conns between a wo man and her striving to make the man for whom sho cares care for her in turn is pride. T’ride is self-love exaggerated to a dangerous degree. Dignity and a he rniyht have fallen out of that tree. At last Johnny became so uncom fortable that ho bad Just about made up his mind that he couldn't stand It any lonyer. He had just about made up his mind that he would yo down and flyht Ileddy Fox. It would oe better to be killed tlyhtlny than to re main a prisoner up in that tree until he had so little strenyth that he couldn't fiyht. It was just then that he once more saw Farmer Brown's Boy headed that way.

Hut not to go a Unit winning love With a high l pride In the honesty of a big feeling for another is a weak and ignoble thing. Ileal love doesn't often fail unless it fastens on the wrong object. "When a girl wants to steal another woman's j sweetheart her feeling is too dishon orable to rank as love. It may be : infaturation or selfish desire—but it ! is not love, and it does not deserve to win. But when you give your honest, : normal, unselfish love, why shouldn't you show at least a free and generous Interest and sympathy with the one you long to win? Why not set about making yourself necessary to the one wliose love you long to compel. An opportunity almost always presents itself for closer companion ship. When It happens to come at a dinner, isn't it foolish and absurd to hesitate to ask your hostess to put you next to a man In whom you can state simply that you feel a genuine interest? Meeting on flip Sly. Dear Miss Fairfax: I haVe been going out with a man for five months: my parents object to him. I am 17 and my mother says I am too young. I love this man dearly, and it would he impossible for rue to give him up. My parents have no reason for dislik ing him. Now that my mother does not allow me to bring him to the house, I meet him on the street every chance I get. He being only ID, we just g«» around as friends. I'lXiGV. A girl of 17 would do well to trust to her parents' judgment. Since they do not like this man. can't you real ize that they see things of which you are not aware? Don't meet him out side your home. This is disloyal and dishonest. Uncle Sam Says Goose liaising. Geese can he raised successfully and profitably in nil parts of the United Stales. They subsist very largely on grass during the growing i season and are the closest of grazers. They can 1m* housed very cheaply, as they need protection only during cold or stormy weather, and in the south are raised successfully without shelter. Geese could be raised profitably on many more farms than at present, as both old and young are very hardy and are rarely affected with disease.
