Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love” What Madge Forced Ilerself to Be lieve She Had Imagined. With the philosophic determination to push aside all further thought of the controversy between Dicky and me until the morrow, I picked up from the tloor the articles of my clothlpg which Dicky had thrown through the door. Then, hurriedly undressing, I carefully arranged my pretty evening gown over the back of an armchair, and when my prep arations for the night were completed, snapped out the light, opened the window wide and crept into my dav enport bed. But not to sleep. I had thought that anger against Dicky was the only emotion swaying me. But the touch of the beautiful filmy gown he had bought for me had brought,, the remembrance of his patent pride in me and his tenderness toward me during our evening with Alfred and Leila Durkee. Why was it that such exquisite ex periences were almost so Inevitably followed by some sordid clash of tem per such as we had just exhibited? My conscience acquitted me of the blame. Dicky distinctly had not only been the aggressor in the quarrel, but had been entirely wrong in his attitude. And yet— Might I not have been more concilia tory In my own manner? Shouldn't I have soothed his very natural irrita tion against the flamboyant Mrs. Marks and her saturnine husband for their intrusion, and sidetracked the question of moving tintil he was in a mix’d to be coaxed out of it? Madge Is Troubled. "Coaxed.'1 The word so distasteful to me, rose and stared me in the face . ballengingly. 1 always have despised the para sitic wives who rule their husbands by tears and wheedling far more tyrannically than could the most auto cratic militant of the new type of wo man. Not more than once or twice in my life with Dicky have I ever ap proached him with a coaxing mwintfr, and then only because of some sud den emergency which demanded quick action from him that 1 secure in no other way than by wheedling. Had this episode tonight been such an emergency, which would have jus tified wheedling my husband, a per formance which violates my self re I — ' spect? I found T was too tired and miserable for consideration of that ! question, and I counted sheep, recit ed poems backward, did imaginary al gebra problems—exhausted all the de j vices I knew In the effort to woo the plumber that danced so eluslvely just ! out of my reach. It was perhaps an hour after I had gone to bed that I hoard the hall door of the apartment, open, and the high pitched voice of Mrs. Marks In what she evidently believed to be a whis per: “Dun't speak, any of youse. No use waking up the 400.’ To my surprise, there was no sar castic intonation to the epithet. Evi dently something about us had im pressed Mrs. Marks’ weak imagina tion, and that she distinctly approv ed of us was rlear. "Shut up, yourself,” the saturnine Petey replied conjugally, and the lit tle procession—my strained ears caught the muffled footfalls of at least four people—went down the hall, and J heard the. careful closing of a door. I lifted my wristwatch to my eyes and saw by its illuminated dial that it was almost 3 o’clock in the morn ing. I knew from the description of the old janitress from whom I had rented our apartment, that the one at the rear of the floor, occupied by the Marks family, had no more rooms 'than ours. Surely four people could not be housed-in that tiny rear apart ment. And yet, bringing up visitors at this hout in the morning in such stealthy fashion— T rebuked my curiosity sharply. It was no business of mine, I told my self witheringlv. whether Petey Marks and his spouse brought one guest or a dozen at noon, midnight or dawn. And again 1 began counting my myth ical sheep, until the sound of high heels, unmistakably those of my flam boyant neighbor, tap-tapping down the coridor toward my door, brought me bolt upright in bed, breathing heav ily. Surely she did not mean to knock at my door! No. With a little gasp of relief, 1 heard her undoing the outer door of the apartment, and then it closed with a resonant slam. Apd then 1 lay, tense, breathless, wondering if i my imagination were playing tricks upon tnc. For I seemed to hear just outside i my door the sound of heavy, hurried \ breathing and then the soft tip-toe* : ing of feet away from my door down j the long corridor leading to the ' Marks apartment. Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. Bl'RGEHS 1 Disappointment In our lot Far more frequently than not. -Mr. Blaeksnake. Mr. Blacksnake la Disappointed When Mr. Blaeksnake started to climb that tree near the home of Johnny Chuck he didn't know that Drummer the Woodpecker and Mrs. Drummer had a home up there, but he felt pretty sure they had. You see, he had seen the chips at the bottom of the tree, l>e climbed slowly, for he was in no hurry. And Both sat still and listened. as lie climbed be looked carefully on all sides for a new hole in the trunk of the tree. At last he discovered what he was looking' for. Me saw the small round entrance to tho Woodpecker home. Mr. Blacksnakes eyes glistened. Ms climbed to a branch a little way above that entrance, and then coiled himself around it. Slowly he let himself down until his head was at tlie entrance. Mis eyes glistened more than ever. Would he find eggs in there? Perhaps he would find Mrs. Drummer in there. Perhaps he would get both Mrs. Drummer and eggs. Mis eyes glistened more (than ever. Then he put his head in at that open ing, and his neck followed. A moment later he drew- his rieck and head out. and there were both disappointment and anger in I is bright unwinking eyes. Me had found neither Mrs. Drummer nor the eggs in there. Me* knew that house was just finished. Me had had his climb for nothing. He hissed angri ly. Then a. look of cunning came into his eyes. “Those Woodpeckers probablj*' have gone off to get something to eat. It is plain to see that they have just finished this home. They won t stay away from it long. No sir, they wont stay from It long. I'll wait here un til they come,” said Mr. Black snaXe to himself. So Mr. Blacksnake coiled himself as comfortably as he could just above the entrance to the new home of the Woodpeckers, and settled down to wait, lie had an Idea he wouldn’t have to wait long, but he was willing to wait a long time if necessary. You see, he had considerable patience when the matter of a dinner is con cerned. Meanwhile Drummer the Wood pecker and Mrs. Drummer were busi ly hunting a dinner. They had gone over to the Old Orchard. Now that the work of building that new home was done they were quite willing to rest. They were very happy. There were no happier people In all the Old Orchard. They didn't say much, for that Is not their way. But each knew just how happy the other was. And not once did It enter cither head that It was possible for anything to be wrong at their home. It took them some time to satisfy their appetites, for while they liar] been working they had not eaten as much as they would have liked. You see, they hadn’t wanted to take the time to hunt for food. But at last their stomachs were full, and they were just making ready to start tack home when they heard Sammy Jay screaming at the top of his lungs. “Listenexclaimed Drummer. “That sounds as if Sammy is over near our new home, and he is very h excited about something.” Both sat still and listened. There was no doubt that Sammy Jay was much excited. Also there was no doubt that he was very, very angry. What could It mean. Drummer looked at Mrs. Drummer. Mrs. Drum mer looked at Drummer. Sammy Jay certainly was over in that tree where their new home was. (Copyright. l»!f.) The next Story: "Mr. Blacksnake Decides to Give Tp." Pie Raking.

Nature Must Be in Harmony With Life By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Gordon has an ungovernable tem per. It discourages him so thRt he is just about ready to give up. It costs I him friends, positions, peace of mind and faith in himself. He doesn’t know when he is going to fly Into a rage. He says he is the most miser able man in the world and doesn’t know how he is going to bear his cross. “1 can't trust myself," he says. "I don’t know when I’m going to fly oft the handle. I can't be sure at what moment I'm going to see red. Why, suppose in one of those blind rages of mine I did something Irrevocable. I t-ell you I Just about can't Ikve with this thing hanging over my head. My temper Is ungovernable—that is tha only word for It." Every man has the right to com mand himself. Every man has the ability to enforce obedience in his own nature. A temper is a rebel In the camp of self. And is that rebel to be permitted a reign of misrule? When a man says he has a bad temper—he means that he is permit ting a lawlessness to possesses him. Anyone who want to be happy must have his nature in harmony with the laws of life. Temper is discord. You wouldn't be in deliberate discord with an orchestra in which you played dn instrument, would you? You wouldn't say you couldn't play in tune—that you couldn't govern your trombone or your tlut, would you? You wouldn't confess that you were playing an instrument you couldn’t control. You would feel that you had a right to authority over the violin or the cello you were making it your lifework to play. But the first instrument you have to learn to play Is yourself. And you can do that just as surely as you can pick up something entirely out side yourself and learn to control it. The minute you say your temper is "ungovernable" you give it authority it cannot get anywhere in the world except from you. Y'ou put your head under the heel of a tyrant. Y'ou give m to the misrule of something that Is only a phantom of your imagination. All you have to do is start out to beliexe that you can control any i thing you don't let get the uppei ! hand. Th*n you have to see the un reasonableness of letting anything ex cite you to the point where you don't reason. And pretty soon you’ll know Lhat your temper Is subject to law and government and that it is your tight to exercise them. A Question of Ktiquet. Dear Mias Fairfax: Please answer ' a few questions for me. Should a lady remove her glove before shaking hands? When a friend sends you something and you are expecting ljt, should you write a note of thanks, al though you expect to sue the person inside of 10 days? How does a bride and groom, with attendants, stand in a home wedding? IGNORANT. A lady should not remove her glove before shaking hands. Yes, write a note of thanks immediately. The groomsman at the right of the groom, the bridesmaids at the left of the bride. A Very Troubled Voting Man: if she loves you sincerely you should be able to leave for a year without her. Candy is a very suitable gift for any girl, and remember it never means anything serious, nor do flow ers, no matter how large or expensive they may be. I see no objections to the motor rides. Bets: I eannot answer your ques tions about the Suez canal: I note you live In Omaha. 1 ain very sure the Omaha Public library would have material which would answer your in quiries. Why not go there? Uncle Sam Says Tom and Its lees as Food. The ordinary diet In this country in cludes some vegetables and fruits, some flesh foods, dairy products and eggs, some f,i»s. some sugars or other sweets, and some of the starchy ce real foods such as corn, wheat, rice or oats. As far as food values are concerned, it makes little difference which cereal is used and one kind may be substituted for another more or Jess as convenience, price and per sonal preference suggest.

I have had better health since, keep house and am able to do ^ ■ i work. I recom mend the Vegetable Compound to my friends as it ha? certainly given me groat relief. Mrs.C. B.Robinson, 60S N. Lincoln St., Amarillo, Texas, The Vegetable Compound is a splendid medicine for women. It re lieves the troubles which cause such symptoms as backache, painful times, irregularity, tired and worn-out feel ings and nervousness. This is shown again and again by such letters as Mrs. Robinson writes as well as by one woman telling another. These women know what it did for them. It is surely worth your trial. Housewives make a great mistake in allowing themselves to become so ill that it is well-nigh impossible for them to attend to their necessary household duties. %l»> r.RTIM MFN7.
