1 Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love’’ The Strange Thing Mrs. Marks Beg ged Madge to Do. That my nervous sleeplessness and my imagination were playing bizarre tricks upon me was the conclusion to which I tame after minutes of con sideration of the heavy breathing and the stealthy footfalls leading away from my door. Mrs. Marks must have gone out of the outer hall when it slammed, 1 was certain of that, and 1 must have imagined the rest. Whether or not my ilecison brought the slumber which I had been wooing unsucessfully for so long. I do not know. At any rate, 1 slept, fitfully, it is true, for per haps 15 minutes, when 1 was awaken ed by a sharp stabbing pain in my , chest. I knew it instantly for the uncom fortable thing it was. My old enemy.’ nervous indigestion, had its grip on me. The exciting, pleasurable eve ning. the rich food, the annoying controversy with Dick after arriving home—all these had contributed to the unpleasant result which I now faced. From experience of similar attacks in the past, i knew that 1 must tuke prompt measures, or 1 would be really ill. Hot water I must have as soon as possible, I must prepare a mus tard poultice, and get from the medi cine chest in the bathroom the old fashinoned, time-honored remedies which I always carry with me. lie pressing a lit lie groan, for the pain was acute, I slipped out of bed, pull ed down the window and the cur tain, switched on the light, and ptlt on my slippers and my warm bath robe. Then I remembered—with a sudden sharing of Dick's antipathy to our little apartment—that I would be com pelled to go out into the common entrance hall to get to the bathroom for my -medicines and hot water bag. and to the kitchen for the heating of hot. water over my three-hole gks plate. Madge Is Timorous. For a pusillanimous minute. 1 was tempted to waken Dicky and Rsk him to go out into the dark hall with me. Then, at the remembrance of his furious exit from the living-room, my pride stiffened my cowardice, and, leaving the living-room door open be hind me, so that the light would stream out into the dark corridor, I hurriedly traversed the few steps to the bathroom door. Switching on the light, I secured my remedies and a small ''medicine chest, and started timorously down the hall toward my dark little kitchen, the last of out rooms. and separated only by a thin door from one of the rooms of the Marks apartment. I know the location of every article in it, so 1 put down the articles I car ried upon the table before I raised my arm to grope for the chain of the electric light suspended from the cell ing. But before I could reach it, a band went over niy lips, effectually preventing my screaming, and an arm was thrown around my waist, support ing me, while close to my ear Mrs. Mark’s voice sounded _>n a whisper, effectually low this time: "Kxcuse me, dearie. I ain't goln' to hurt you, but I knew you'd scream if you saw me unexpected like, and that would mean the end of me. may be. Listen. Will you let me hide in jour bathroom till you get through here? I swear I hain't touched one of your things, or won't. Shake my hand if you will.'' 1 had almost swooned when in the darkness her hand had gone over my lips, but the relief at her whisper had hi ought me hack to composure, and I complied with her absurd request promptly. She took her hand from my mouth and bent to my ear again. "Wait till I get to the bathroom be fore you turn on the light. I'll lock the door, and you just scratch on the door like a cat when you come. I'll explain then. And, for the love of Mike, make a lot of noise in here, clat ter the dishes or something. Petey may stick his nose out in the hall to see who's in here, but nobody'll dis turb you. honest to Alike they won’t." She released me and glided away, i obediently waited until I heard the faint dosing of the bathroom door be fore turning on the light. Then I be gan the clatter of the dishes she had asked for—just in time, It proved— for a second later the door of the Marks apartment opened and a quick step sounded to my kitchen door. "Oh, excuse me!” the saturnine Petey said, as I whirled to face him. “I thought 1 heard someone in the ball. You know, there's been two burglaries in the house this week." He walked away without giving me inie to reply, and I heard the locking and closing of his door with the feel ings, I think, of a prisoner granted a reprieve. Then, with nervous lingers, I heated water, prepared my mustard poultice and applied it with a long swathing, protecting handage over it, took my remedies, filled my hot water bag. and turning out the light, glided back to my bathroom and scratched on ihe door in the bizarre fashion Mrs. Marks had requested of me. (Copyright, 1923.) Uncle Sam Says Healthy, Happy Womanhood. Every girl wants to be popular with her companions. Today the popular girl is the girl who glows with life, who can swim and dance and play outdoor games, who has plenty .*>f energy for fun when she has finished her daily tasks. Good health, since it produces high spirits, vitality, cheerfulness and leadership, will help to make her popular. This booklet which is issued by the Arkansas slate board of health, has been npproved and Is distributed by tthe United States public health serv ice. It tells about the foundation of health, beauty and popularity, how fitness is attained and contains an ex planation of glands and their func tions. Older girls and young women may obtain a copy of. this booklet free as long as the free edition lasts by writing to the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D. C., asking for "V. D. No. 60.” Our Children Prayer. Charlie knelt to sAy his prayers be fore getting Into bed. After all. the "God bless-e*" ltad iteen said, he add eil another petition—an earnest one straight from tlis heart. “Please, God, give me I'lO per rent in test to morrow.” “What’s that"" said mother. ‘‘What test is that?" “Spelling We have lest tomorrow and dad sa/s he'll give nte a quarter if 1 get 10(1." “But did you study?" "No! It’s 10? words. A whole months lessons! Thai's too much to study. That's why 1 put it in my prayer*," said he complacently snug gling under the covers. "Charlie Thompson! Get tight up and put on your hath robe and study those words and I'll hear them. The idea! Jump! Quick!" An hour later Charlie climbed back into lied. "But you didn't ask God to help you with your test. Now that- you've done your work it is all right to ask Him," “O, never mind," said Charlie, "as long as 1 know them, what's the use?" Then mother tried to teach him that (he only time prayer counted was when one had done the best possible job for himself and was ready for God's help—which was always forth coming then. It was hard for a little boy to understand, of course, but at least he had a start/— There ate so many children who .. -o' n ‘-i'll t I ' ' .111 - e ^^HHBB • »•' ill t '\|il;iii ili.it lua^HHaH "f rtu i i:1111 ,i*' * iiu'li : > mu-: m "W in theri^HH puis them keeps touch with God.

That, backed up by faith in the spiritual unity of man with God. will bring the answer. That can be taught to children. I Copyright. 192X1 Bee Want Ads produce results.

One ' man spends takes a girl Companion is dis fid cries out that un "mw flatters the girl* they are A third insists that girls are never satisfied with the devotion of one man, but like to have flocks of admirers gathered around. The refrain all these unhappy youths sound is that the girl of to- j day is extravagant, pleasure loving, j fltrtatlous. vain, unstable and selfish. ; A serious arraignment this! <‘an it be true? I think not. The world has a way of adjusting itself to laws of supply and demand. ‘ Girl* watch the heartless coquettes getting attention and devotion and ihey decide that the way to be a social success is to play the game of the • anipire. Men amass themselves with the hoquette, and turn at last for se rious interest to the sensible, sober girl. But that girl is tired of sitting at home waiting for the men to get over their philandering days, and so she tries to play the game that doesn't suit her, and that puzzles and dis appoints the men—who have brought :t largely upon themselves. Now. what are you going to do about it? The thing has to be wotked out from two sides. First of all, girls—be yourselves. If you are the simple, home loving sort, who wants the devoted com panionship of one fine man and who loves the real things of life—don't get discouraged because you don't find your dream come true right away. AVaitl Hold fast to your .deals. Money doesn't buy leal pleas ure—it can only purchase excitement And excitement hasn't anything to do with real love. Don't let the fact that a flirtatious, featherbrained little thing goes around a lot start you whirling. It won't he becoming to you, and it won't bring you a thing you want. Don't let other folks set your fash ion in ideals or ambition" Stick to 1 he best as you see it. There js a fine man somewhere eating out his heart in loneliness because he can't . find v ha: he longs for And then. boys, start early in the game of life to realize that if you create a dec and for "flappers.” "jazz- i liable*.' coquettes and “vamps''—the girls are going to meet it. and that you'll soon get a hopeless oversupply of the sort of women who ask for gold and give thistle in return’. Look to the fine women for vour ileal*. L'arn to he friend* with a girl before you let your emotion* plunge you into a cortex of casual love-making. Take the trouble to study the girls you meet ar.d to seek n them the «ame loyalty, companion ship. understanding and honest devo tion you want from men. \I>\ KRThEMfM.
