“My Husband’s Love”
The News Dicky Diplomatically
Broke to Madge.
"I tell you there's been somebody
there.” Dicky's voice held the fran
tically exasperated note which faulty
telephone service invariably brings
to most people.
“Hello! Hello!” I interposed eagerly.
“There's -your party now.” Cen
tral's voice was frigidly righteous.
“That you, Madge?” Dicky asked
Impatiently.
“Ves. What is It? Anything wrong
at home?" voicing the fear which
is never away from me.
“No! No!'' with increasing Impa
tience. “By jove, you must have been
pounding your ear for fair, not to
hear that telephone when it's so near
your bed."
1 have learned to smile at Dicky's
propensity to jump at conclusions,
where once 1 resented It, and 1 pur
posely made my voice conciliatory.
“Rut I wasn't Asleep, Dicky," 1
said.
"Nonsense,'" he interrupted rudely,
then with sudden recollection. “Sorry,
honey, 1 didn't mean that."
"I know it," 1 returned equably,
“but the telephone rang only once.
1 awakened several minutes ago. saw.
your note, rend it with a good laugh
—you clever old dear—and started for
the telephone to calt you when it
tang."
"Well, Til be—boiled in oil," he evi
dently b*thought himself just in time
of the rule concertaining certain
words barred over the telephone
wires. '“And that girl nftcr telephon
ing me at least a dozen times. “I'm
ringing your party.' finally told me
she couldn’t get you."
“Gol Where?”
“Never mind that row," 1 said
soothingly. "I'm vary much here, and
all ears. What’s on your mind?"
"First, how do you feel'.’" There
was genuine solicitude in his man
ner whlCh made me glow with pleas- ,
ure.
"Splendid. Couldn't lie better."
"Are you sure? Not a bit of pain?"
"Nothing but hunger. I'm raven- ;
ous.”
“Good! Then I'll dare go."
"Go! Where?" my voice was be- l
wildered, and T am afraid a bit tim
orous. I ant not always quite easy j
about Dicky's sudden and necessary |
Journeys out of the city.
"Hutton has wired for me, and it j
will mean at least tlirep days away.
I haven’t answered him. because I 1
wanted first to be sure you were 1
all right. But if you feel perfectly |
well. 1 want to leave in an hour. Will
you pack my bag, please? I'll run up
for it on my way tn the station."
"Of course," 1 assented. "Like Ka
tie. "1 feex cferyting'."
I heard his relieved, hearty laugh. 1
and felt well repaid for the effort
it had caused me to speak cheerfully.
Dicky Is Off Again.
"Always my little Old Reliable"’ he
said fondly. Then, with an Hbrupt
change to crisp decisiveness. “Here's
another thing. I don't want you stay
ing in that hole while I'm gone. I’ll
he worried to death about you with
that gang in the hack. Can't you
run out to the Durkees?''
“I'll run further than that,” I said
with a swift longing vision of my
little lad at. the farmhouse near Sag
Harbor. I'll take the afternoon train
out home."
“Good! Wish I were going in that
direction instead of the other. But,
look here—I want your promise If
anything sh ion that you
missed the not to stay
there tonight alone."
“Nothing would Induce me lo do
so,” I returned truthfully, "so you
needn't worry. How long before you
will be here?''
"About 40 minutes," he returned.
"Good-by."
I turned from the telephone, hur
ried down the hall, and set coffee
going in the percolator. Then I run
baik again, dressed hastily, gulped
down a cup of hot eofl'ee, and, get
ting out Vicky's smartest bag, packed
it carefully. It Is a task I have often
performed, so it was neither arduous,
nor did it take me long. I knew bet
ter than to close it, for Dicky always
has some last-minute idea of some
thing he wishes to take along, hut
leaving a space near the top for any
emergency parcel, 1 set it near the
door, and laid on my desk the mem
orandum of every article in it for
Dicky’s inspection.
Then, with but a few minutes to
spam of Dicky's 40, I transformed
niy berl into the davenport couch !
which is ils masquerade by day, and ;
sate the room what my mother-in
law calls a "lick and a promise."
And then I heard the bell of the '
outer apartment door, but when I
flew to it expecting Dicky, I was \
confronted by the unexpected figure 1
of little Mrs. Durkee.

Problems That Perplex
The Girl With Two Beaux.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I harl a date
with a young man one evening and
another good friend of mine eaine
to town unexpectedly. I wanted to
»oe him, as lie W'as leaving the next
day, ao 1 invited him to go along to
a dance with myself apd escort. Ar
riving at the dance, I introduced
him to a girl friend who came with
out an escort. Now, Miss Fairfax,
he was in town last week, and this
girl gave a little dinner party al
her home, omitting me from her
guest list. Do you think she treated
me fairly when she knew this man
to bo a friend of mine. JK8BIK.
The girl who larfes her men
friends to a dance and pitts them
in charge of some other girl thinks
she is doing the generous thing. But
isn’t she tasking a convenience of
the other girl? And why shouldn't
that girl follow' up the friendship
she had been encouraged (o start?
Rosy Cheeks: You cannot force
love. Sorry, my dear, hut I know
of no way to win his heart.
Bertha: if you arc so very fond of
the young man and don't want to give
him up the best you can do is to ar
eept him as he is. setting him such
an example of understanding and un
selfishness and kindness that he will
come to realize that there is a higher
form of friendship than he has been
in the habit of giving, lie isn't un
der any obligations to like you or lo
lie kind to you. His greatest obliga
tion to friendship is honesty—and
since that doesn't fail, you have no
legitimate complaint."
Teddy: Crepes are more popular
this season than taffetas, or niessal
Ines. Satin slippers with straps are
being worn for dress. No, I do not
think you are loo tall. As for the
young man. If he really cares for
you he will soon forget his hashful
ness.
Juniors: For your school banquet
I would suggest '-it fruit cocktail,
wafers, celery and olives; fried
chicken, mashed potatoes, creamed
peas, hot rolls- stuffed tomato salad.
Ice cream, cake apd coffee.
Violet.
With life and love
1 thrilled one day.
When through the sod
All dewy 'wof
I heard you say—
"1 want to find
A violet."
You wanted me
Of course I knew.
For you loved me
And I loved you;
So I just grew
And grew' and grew—
To come to you!

Origin of Rooking Chair
Hides In Maze of Hintorv
The rocking chair probably Is the
cnly piece of furniture known today,
the history of which cannot be traced.
What lazy persons first conceived
the ide.a of putting cradle rockers on
chairs?
What prompted the Idea?
Who could have compelled a digni
fied people to become one of the rock
ing, ease-loving, contented persons
who found solace in the forward and
backward tilting of their chairs?
And the rocking chair itself hides
Its hfstory. But it is distinctly in the
style of the Italian renaissance.
Despised abroad, the American
rocking chair, which is not an amuse
ment of a crude people, js now only
another name for graceful ease with
all civilized races. It is also making
progress with the half-civilized. Kx
plorers and travelers say it is the
pride of many a savage hut.

Have You a
Cold or Cough?
H<a«l \\ hat This Bonian Say*.
Blair, Neb.—"In my younger years
I had very weak lungs and as I grew
older seemed to become susceptible to
weather conditions to such an eitent
that I always seemed to have a cough
or a cold. I took Dr. Tierce's Golden
Medical D scovery as a tonic and
builder and found it to lie so helpful
to me that I used no other medicine
or doctoring for a period of about
seven years. I did not take It con
tinuously. but just whenever my sys
tem seemed t<> require a tonic. That
was twenty-fite years ago and my
lungs are in good condition today."—
