“My Husband's Love'’
IVhf Madge Feit She Must Hide Mil.
Marks From Dicky.
Mrs. Marks opened my bathroom
door promptly and, noiselessly and
after drawing me inside, shut and
looked at again as silently. I looked
at. her hi astonishment and no little
anger, for despite the pain I was suf
fering, I w-ds beginning to realize the
audacity of the woman In hiding in
my kitchen and frightening me In the
way she had done.
But one look at the strained, fright
ened expression in her china-blue eyes
and the grayish palor which showed
wherever her mask of rouge and pow
der would permit it. banished my an
ger. Here was a soul in sore straits
of some kind and it did not behoove
me to add to her burden.
“Say, you’re white, dearie. I’ll say
that for you.” Her vqjce was still sub
dued In the low whisper she had used
in the kitchen and I noticed that her
• eyes and ears were strained in that
direction. “I never was so near pass
ing out In my life as when I saw you
headed for your kitchen, and knew
you'd scream if you saw me. Say”—
with a sudden jerk of her head toward
the bedroom in our apartment—"can
your husband hear me? He ain't like
you, dearie, he don't like yours truly
. one—little—bit, and he'll raise the old
Harry If he knows I'm in here.”
"He woji't hear you. if you keep
your voice low.” I whispered back
steadily, “but—I am 111. and X must
get back to bed as quickly as I can.
“You poor kid!" Her eyes took in for
the first time my hot water bottle.
"What's the trouble?"
"Nervous indigestion," I replied
shortly.
“You’re Awful Good.’’
"Ain't that fierce?" she responded.
"Yon can't tell tne nothing about that
thing. I've had it. You ought to have
a mustard poultice.”
"I have one and have taken all the
remedies," I returned.
"Well," she returned competently,
"you don't want to listen to no spiel
of mine now. But when your husband
and mine are gone tomorrow I'll come
in and explain everything. But, please,
will you let me stay in your kitchen
a while longer? I won't hurt nothing
and you don't know what it means to
me."
The mustard poultice was beginning
to "draw," and the pain in my chest
was not yet conquered. Between the
two. I think I wouffl have assented to
almost any request of Mrs. Marks in
order to get l id of her.
"Y'es, yes,” I said. "Do whatever
you like, but I must go at once.”
“You're awful good,” she said hum
bly, "and I won't forget ij. I'll turn
out this light now. and the second
you're inside your door and shut it.
I’ll beat it to the kitchen.”
She fitted the action to the word,
but as I advanced toward my wide
open living-room door, with its light
streaming out into the hall, Dicky's
tall lithe figure, bath-robed and slip
pered, advanced to meet me.
Dicky Is Solicitous.
"What the—" he began angrily, but
a thought of the woman trapped in
our bathroom behind me compelled me
lo the confession I never would have
made for myself, with the remem
brance of Dicky's anger vivid before
me. '
"Oh, Dicky!" I said appealingly. "I
am so ill." »
"What!" The anger left his eyes,
and anxiety, affectionate but irritated,
flashed into them.
ilis arm went round me, and he
drew, me through the living-room door,
mechanically closing it after him, to
my great relief, l could visualize Mrs.
Marks slipping fearfully and noise
lessly down the hall to hide herself
in our little kitchen.
Dicky put his hand iifider my chin
and turned my face up to the light.
"I should say you are ill," he said.
"What is It?" He wrinkled tip his
nose sniffing In disgust. "Oh! I see.
Nervous indigestion. I can smell the
mustard. Now, why In tlie name of
Moses and all the patriarchs, didn't
you call me?"
I suppose something involuntary
came into my eyes, for a shame faced
expression flashed into those of my
husband.
"Oh! I know, 1 know," he said hur
riedly. "Tou probably would have felt
more like appealing even to the frisky'
Mrs. Marks than to me, and I don't
blame you. I was an awful—"
I put up my hand and covered his
lips with it.
"Don’t," I said, managing a smile
despite my pain, "or 1 11 have to tell
you what a menu little cat I was, and
that would be terribly humiliating to
one of my proud spirit." .
He looked down at me quizzically,
even as he lifted me in his strong
arms and laid me-tenderly upon the
bed.

Nothing looks well on me. I haven't
a bit of vitality or charm. Truly, I'm
a poor simp. But if any sacrifice or
effort eottlfl make nn ugly duckling

Doesn't a fine position Indicate ability

No girl who lias the mentality to
make a suecess in her field should be
so dull or unimaginative as to imagine
that she ean't make as much improve

has in the position to which she lias
mounted from a probably JS or Slrt a

gents can deal with shiny skin. No
woman need look her worst if she will
take thought and hoi k the proper ad
vice in order to work improvements
in her appearance.
The homely girl has the same
chance in th<- world that any other
sensible person lias—to study herself
and to make the most of Iter real
gifts. Beauty is sometime* a free gift
an accident—but a lovely expression
and a gracious maimer can be ac
quired by the woman who refuses to
be ugly even if she ean't be beautiful.
Belly: There is an old saying
which goes: "As much pity to see
a woman weep as a goose go bare
foot."
There Is an ugly tang to the pro
verb which suggests that tear* are
so natural to woman that they are
not worth considering. Hut. perhaps,
we ourselves are to blame for the
Idea.
Women have for long ages fallen
back on tears as their weapon when
argument and effort failed. And now
that women are out in the Hold of
work doing their part in the world!*
business it Is high time that they do
elded to stand squarely on the rights
of situations and give up the idea of
gaining their ends through whining
and tears.
You must not let yourself get Into
the frame of mind where self pity
hints out everything else on your
mental horizon. You must not let sit
uations obsess you. Unpleasant sit
uations do not exist unless you give
them power by acknowledging that
they are there.
