Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love” Copyright, IBIS. Tlie Command of retry Marks That Madge Overheard. I felt my pulses constrict with pity and fear as X saw the slow tears stealing down Mrs. Durkee’* fare. Never but once or twice in my long friendship with her have I seen tears in her eyes. Her short, plump body surmounted by her still pretty child like face, holds one of the most gallant uncomplaining souls I know. What could have happened to daunt . her sweet, cheery spirit? 1 went swiftly to her .pushed the tray to one side, and kneeling down | by her chair, drew her head to my | shoulders. “Whenever you’re ready, tell me all about II,’’ I said, petting her as I would a sorrowful child. With a dreary little gesture, she | turned her head to my shoulder and , burst into a storm of sobs that wor ried me. But I knew better than to speak to her. J simply held her close | and stroked her hair until the paroxysm was past. * “X don’t know what you'll think of me, Madge, acting the baby like this,' she said at last, raising her head and i dabbing at her eyes with an absurd ] little handkerchief, "but I don t dare frighten Alfred and Leila with it. and I’ve kept it to myself until I'm so scared I don’t know what to do. So ^ just had to come to you "I'm so glad you did," 1 said lira rtily. “But don't you think you'd better rest a bit before you trtl me any-1 thing? Here—I'll ,1u»t throw some pillows on this couch, and put. you -down on it while 1 get some lunch- j eon." Madge Comforts Mrs. Durkee. i "I couldnt eat a morsel," she quav ered, hut I put the pillows in place without answering, glad of the short stature of my little friend which would enable her to rest as comfort ably on the masquerading bed couch as would a child. Then I drew her to her feet, noting uneasily that she again winced as I touched her, and helped her to the , couch where I nestled her among the pillows, covered her warmly and then stooped and kissed her wan face. "Now stop worrying about every thing," I commanded. "Just remem ber I'm distinctly ‘on the job,’ as Lil lian would say, and I'm going to see you through, m) matter . what the trouble is. Doze off if you can until, I come in again." I opened the window furthest from , her, and lowered the shades on both; of the windows. Then I hastened to . my kitchen, shutting the living-room ! door after me, and took stock of my refrigerator. Last night we had dined out, but j the night before I had cooked a chick en in Dicky's favorite style, "smoth ered" with cream gravy. There was enough of it left to make, a dainty dish minced over toast, and I cocked a speculative eye at my pot of chives on the w indow sill. I would add a soupcon of the savory green shreds to my chicken dish both for garnish ing and flavor. “1 Relieve I've Reen Asleep." Three cold potatoes—with the aid of some bread crumbs and grated cheese, I could serve a favorite dish of my little friend's, and 1 pounced upon a few crisp leaves of lettuce and a tiny stalk of celery wrapped in a napkin with the anticipation of the fruit salad I could contrive from the basket of assorted fruit which Dicky always insists upon having in the house. I did not hurry the preparation of the meal, for I was sure from the ex hausted, drawn look of Mrs. DurkesUt face that She would drop off to sleep. And when, everything in readiness hut the brewing of the tea. *1 tip toed into the living rtom, 1 found that site had, indeed forgotten in slumber whatever trouble was menacing her. Hating to awaken her, I stood above her, irresolute for a minute, and then I saw her eyes open slowly. "I believe I’ve been asleep," she eaid in a doubting tone, and I smiled down at her indulgently. "I believe you have," 1 said. Now just lie still and I'll be your maid. Don't stir, mind, or 1 11 take you over my knee.” I hurried to the bathroom, brought back a basin of warm water, with soap, wash-cloth and towel. "Put out your hands,” I commanded, and when she hail obeyed me, 1 care fully laved and wiped her small, dainty palms and fingers. I knew better tlinn to touch her face witji water, for little Mrs. Durkees facial make-up is the wonder of all irfr acquaintances, so exquisitely natural a thing does it appear. But when I had finished drying her hands, I brought her a clean towel, a hand-mirror and a powder-puff. "I'll leave you to do the rest of the prinking.” 1 said. "Rut you'll have to hurry, for I'm going to serve luncheon for two here In about 67 seconds.” X hurried out before she had a chance to reply, and went truck to my tiny kitchen. Rut my oxfords were rubberheeled, and I made no noise go ing down the hall. That my queer neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Marks, thought me still In the front part of the house, I realized, ns 1 stepped noiselessly, into my kitchen, for I heard on the other side of the wall the raucous voice of Petey Marks.

Our Children “Seat, ^u!” “I've been wondering why the chil- ! drt'R don't mind me," said the very : young teacher, "and now I think I know. I think it must be because I haven't spoken to them the right way. I’ve had the hardest time mak ing them mind me. They're very dis orderly and of course I can't teach (hem. » “Every morning when I come to school 1 see a big black cat. 1 like cats, so I've tried to make friends with him. 1 called, ‘Puss, puss,' In my nicest voice and ‘purred’ at him and coaxed him, but he just stif fened Ids tail and passed by. "Today I saw him and called 'Puss, puss!' but he gave me a green stare and ruffled ills tall, and I lost all pa tience with him and stamped my foot and yelled. 'Scat, you black rascal!' and over l lie fence he went. At least, he paid some attention to me! •T in going to try that on the class. Maybe they’ll pay attention to me too. I've been too gentle with them; too coaxing and patient. If I stamp my foot they’ll obey nte.” “And fly over the fence?" "No! I'll iStamp my foot and they'll sit up like lambs and before they know It. I'll hurry up and teach them the lesson. They won’t catch me at it.'’ "Hut when you stamped your foot, and when you purred and coaxed, you lost your cat. Lost him both times!” "Well, what am I to do? They won't mind me! They squirm about mid turn their'heads and won’t! learn.” ’’That's liecause they aren't Inter ! estrd in whether you say 'scat,' or ■puss, puss.' They would like it if you taught them. When you teach chil dren they are really -lovely. That's i all they want—teaching. They're not concerned almut you, only about what you are to give them. "If you can forget about making them obey and remember that, you won't have the least bit of trouble with them. Just start In teaching them something they ought to know to make them happier and wiser and better, and they'll forget all about you. “Little children love to. work. They like to add up columns of figures un der a time limit. They like to say tables and reeite poems and tell stories. They like to read a familiar story and (hey at e rejoiced to dis- : cover that they have the tools to help them read a hard one by them selves. •'They like to watch themselves grow just as much as older people do. They will take great interest In a ‘progressive curve.’ They want to feel that they are on their way and getting to some place. Once they feel that you are leading them they will follow you. More—they will haunt your steps for very love of you. 1 "Bui if you think 'scat,' scat it will be." (Copyright, 1923.) ____.
