*’My Husband's Love”
The Secret About llereelf That Mrs.
lhirhee Told Madge.
At the sight of little Mrs. Duvkee s
sudden contorted face and swaying
figure I pushed my chair back and
sprang to lien''aide, holding her
closely.
"What is it, dear?" 1 asked. “What
can 1 get you? Let me put you down
on the couch.”
"No, no.” She stiffened in protest.
"That makes It worse. Just hold me
tight. Oh-h-h! the pain."
I saw the great beads of perspira
tion start out upon her forehead,
heard her little moaning cries, and
knew that she must he suffering in
tense agony, for “Her Fluffiness,” de
spite her childlike ways, is one of
the gamest little women I know.
Hut I attempted no aid except hold
ing her gs she requested, until after
an interval which seemed endless, but
which in reality was only a minute,
the tension of her figure loosened and
she sagged In arms with a long
drawn shuddering sigh of relief.
"You—yun—put—me—down—now,"
she said, and 1 half led, half carried
lr*r to the couch, and lead her tender
ly upon It.
In utter exhaustion she closed her
i yes. and, covering her warmly, 1 sat
down beside her. and took her cold,
'linking little hands between mine,
holding them firmly. For perhaps live
minutes we remained thus, and then
her eyes—still beautiful despite her
years, always reminding me of wood
violets—opened widely and looked at.
me.
"Tell Me Where It Is."
"This; is why I came to you.
Madge,” she said, ‘i had to tell some
body. 1 couldn't stand this pain any i
longer, and Leila would be frightened :
lo death if she knew. She's as ner
vuus as a cat, anyway, Leila is, and
she Isn’t one bit well, either. I told
Alf he ought not to have her come in- ]
to town yesterday, but he had his |
mind set on a blowout with you peo
ple, and, of course, she was as crazy
to go. And this morning he tele- I
phoned that she was so tired he was
going to make her stay in bed at the
hotel until this afternoon. He'll bring
her out home tonight after dinner,
and 1 grabbed the chance to come in
to see you. Don't you think Leila
looks sick?”
"She doesn't look well, certainly." I
replied slowly, "but I furWy its
nerves rather than physical illness.
With you, however, its something
more than nerves, so. if you please,
we’ll drop Leila for a while. Tell me,
what is the matter with you?"
She looked up In my fare with eyes
that held ftightened appeal.
"t wish I knew." she said. "Dr.
Pringle has been away for weeks. I've
been waiting for him, until I don't
dare wait any longer.”
“I'm glad he's away:" I burst out
vehemently, and was sorry for my
outburst a second afterward. For Dr.
Pringle, an elderly practitioner of
Marvin, who, to my mind, was no liet
ter than a well meaning but ignorant
tiuaclc, was the only physician in
whom little Mrp. Durkee had any
confidence. 1 could not bear the idea
of her consulting him upon anything j
vital, hut I knew that any criticism .
of him was a flaunting of the tra
ditional red rag. and I hiqi no wish
to excite her.
Her cheeks flew danger flags im
mediately.
"I might have known you'd say
that,” she said crossly. "But X can j
tell you. Madge Graham, he's just
the finest doctor anywhere around.
He's pulled me through sickness'
many a time. And I'd a great deal
lather take his word than that skin- j
ny Petit with a ramrod for a spine." |
I laughed at her tempery outburst. .
It was impossible to do anything else. ,
And though at first she pouted, it was j
but a second before she was smiling j
with me.
"But I wouldn't take Dr. Petit's1
word where a mysterious and severe !
pain like this Is concerned,” I argued
after a minute. "It seems to me a
matter for a ,specialist. Tell me 1
where It is."
Mrs. Durkee Is Terrified,*
She raised her arm and indicated a
spot in her side.
"If you'll help me undo m.v dress.
I’ll show you the exact place," she
said. -
I gave her the aid she W ished and j
the result of my inspection and of1
two or three questions I asked her
turned me fairly faint with the sense
of a horrible menace hanging over the
head of my dear little friend.
I smoothed all emotion out of my !
face, however, before I lifted it so j
that she could see It. But it was all
l could do to keep from betraying my
terror for her when she suddenly
seized my hands and walled pitifully:
"Don't say you think It's that, ,
Madge." And I know that In her
thoughts was the name terrified fear
of a certain mysterious and often
incurable malady which had sprung

Problems That Perplex
Dear Miss Fairfax: I um a girl 27
years old, and have had a number
of love experiences which aro going
to culminate next month in marriage
with Mister Uiglit Man. Hy love
experiences I do not mean anything
cheap because, I have had Ideals, and
have kept them, 1 um glad to say.
One of the affairs which led indi ,
reclly to the problem which 1 now
bring to you. was a stormy engage
ment which though wrong, gave me
considerable wrench to break. I
moved to a different city to forget,
and there was employed by a very
rich man who took a genuinely
brotherly interest in me. We w< nt
together in the most companionable
way for two years, and of course he
knew considerable about my affairs,
financial and otherwise. I have a
genuine knack with the needle and got
together costumes that could lie worn
to the most expensive places, and
fashionable clubs, all 1 lacked was
the emphasis, of refinement some
thing really expensive could give. One
evening after a little speech In which
he mentioned his unsentimental in
terest In tne, he gave nie a handsome'
diamond and platinum bar pin, and
on another occasion a platinum
watch.
Of course I only wore them to the
fashionable places, rather than cause
talk.
hast year r me t a good man. with
whom I really fell in love, eiuietly and
deeply. He asked me to marry him
.ind 1 was glad to consent, because
I love hill! with all that is fine in me,
and know that with him I will find
happiness, for lioih of us.
Now. Miss Fairfax, he knows about
the Jewels and wishes me to return
them. I am no longer in the employ
of the man who gave them to me. and
since I parted from him with the
utmost amicability, and a flood of
sincere good wishes on his part, 1
think 1 ani entitled to them. The j
more so since we will leave town
after our marriage.
We are poor. My husband will not
ever make niftrh of a. salary, since
he is not trained. I will always work,
but of course 1 will be happy with
him anyway because 1 love him. Still
since those jewels represent so much
to me and so little to the man who
gave them 1 think I would be foolish
to return them, t'an you help me?
ROYER OF PRETTY THINGS.
Hike most people who ask perplex
ing problems, you have answered
yourself. I am not going to give you
my opinion today, however, hut will
refer this letter to our readers. I
hope they will write to me and let me
publish their replies to you. Then
when they are through, I will give
you my advice.

Colored Slippers.
Tlic average woman who approaches
the choice of evening clothes Is an*
ious aliout slippers and stockings. She
regards these adjuncts as more Im
portant than sleeves and jewelry. And
again, in these details she has a wide
choice. The plain silver and gold slip
per is substituted by brocaded silk
and velvet, with preference given to
the latter. The fantastic Cleopatra
sandal appears everywhere. Last
year each woman felt thst she must
have an ornamental strapped sandal
with a high heel when she went out
after dark; now she realizes that the
| American pump, as It Is called, is not
only in fashion, but Is preferred by a
large sector of women who dress well.
Shoemakers are launching the col
ored slipper to match the gown. It
will succeed, probably. However, *.t
is not economical unless a woman
I limits her evening clo.thes to one color.
The brocaded slipper with smoke, cin
namon or nude stockings is the moat '
economical footgear fashion that has
been instituted since bare feet were
tabu in good society. The beige stock
ing is not as smart as those of smoke
and taupe, and m\ evening stockings
ore as transparent as cobwebs.

“This ii one of the greatest tonics
