Adele Garrison
“My Husband's Love”
Why Mrs. Durliee at First Felt Re
lief and Then Fear.
With a smile at the delicious ab
surdity of "Her Fhiffiness,’’ I turned
the pages of the telephone directory
until X came to the name she had
given me.
"Dr. Philip Foxham—East Eight
eenth street." I read. "Is that the
man you mean?"
“Yes, oh, yes:" she replied eagerly.
"Will you telephone him, Madge,
please? You'll know what to say to
him so much better than I will."
“Flatterer!” I said, smiling, as I
took down the receiver and gave the
number of a Gramercy exchange.
The crisp, yet pleasant voice of a
woman, evidently a secretary or office
nurse, answered:
"This is Dr. Foxham's office, yes."
There was the slightest upward in
flection, and then a pause. She wasted
no time on questions. I decided ap
provingly.
"X am speaking for Mrs. Durkee, or
Marvin, X... I—’’
“Tell him a friend of the late Mrs.
J.arkins. of Madison avenue," Mrs.
Durkee prompted in a stage whisper,
and I relayed the information with
an impatience which I concealed from
my little friend. Nothing so annoys
me as to have some one talking to
me when I am telephoning.
J"Yes?" Again that faint upward
inflection as f paused.
“Isn't He There?”
"She wishes to know if it will he
possible for her to make an appoint
me lit for this afternoon. She is much
troubled by pain underneath her arm,
and she wishes a thorough examina
tion.”
"Please hold the line. I will find
out."
Unconsciously I relaxed Into the
“at rest” position one adopts when
waiting for a telephone message, and
Mrs, Dultec's eyes widened in appre
hensions.
"Isn’t he there?” she asked.
"Yes, yes." 1 reassured her. "The
person who answered the telephone is
asking him about It.”
Her foot began tapping restlessly
upon the floor, and 1 was again im
pressed with her extreme nervous
ness. I would have my work cut out
for me. I told myself grimly, in Ihe
interval between this minute, and that
in which I should turn her over to
her family. The voice of the office
woman was welcome when I next
heard It.
"Dr. Foxham will see Mrs. Durkee
at 2 o'clock this afternoon,” she said
with clear, slow enunciation.
"At 2.” I repeated. "Thank you,"
and the receiver at the other end
clicked before I hung up my own.
Mrs. Durkee had risen to her feet,
and her hands were clasped in
tremulous, frightful fashion against
her breast.
Mrs. Durkee Helps.
“Does that mean lie'll see me at 2?"
she asked breathlessly, and at my af
flrmative mod, she hold nut her hands
to me with a pathetic little gesture.
"—1—wish I—hadn't," she said.
"I'm—I'm afraid. Madge."
I crossed swiftly to her, and took
her cold, trembling little hands in
mine, holding them firmly.
' "if you don't stop this nonsense, 1
won't go with you one step,” t scolded, 1
stooping to kiss her fare, however, as
1 did so. "Now. I must hurry and
clear things up here. There will be
no use of coming back here after we
go, hut my packing won't take long.
AVe're only living in suitcases here—
we kepp most of our things out home
and Mother Graham parcel posts us
anything we need. Just curl up on
that couch while I 'flax around.’ as
Mrs. Tirer says.”
"Indeed. I’ll not," she said decided
ly. "I should go wild lying here ami
thinking. Give me an apron, and
I'll help right straight through with
everything, only don't leave me
alone.”
"All right.” I acquiesced, without
further demur, for 1 saw that she was
right—work would be the best thing
for her.
And so for the next half hour we
washed and wiped dishes, made
Dicky’s bed and put everything in
the little apartment in order. Then
l spread some newspapers on Dicky's
hed, set tny traveling bag and suit
case on them, and taking down my
clothing, began to pack for my Jour
I ney.
"I’d only take a liag," 1 explained,
"but almost every gown I have here
needs mending or cleaning, and I've
been so. busy I've neglected them, so
I’m taking them home with me."
"I think you're very wise," she re
plied grimly, "with those awful-look
ing people in the back. 1 wouldn’t
leave a thing worth taking. But," as
I swung a wardrobe door wide, "sure
ly you're not going to leave Dicky’s
evening clothes for somebody to steal
while you’re gone ’

Beatrice Fairfax
Problems Tliat Perplex
A Warning.
Dear Miss Fairfax: in answer to
lover of pretty things. I have this to
Bay: If my friend demanded of me
to give up presents received before 1
became engaged to him. then I would
know lie either did not love me or
was very selfish: i would also know
if I married him he would make me
very unhappy by being jealous of
other gif is.
If this lady tells him if lie really
loves her lie will let her Keep the
gifts, lie wilt have more respect for
her. If she kneels to him now she
will lose him in the long run.
Isist evening a friend told me >f 1
did not give up speaking to my hoy
friends lie was through. I laughed
and said O. K. with me; good night,
sir. He went away a block, then
turned and ran after- me with tears
ill liis eyes, begging me to take him
back. I did not. IRISH,
Keeping Him finessing.
The Flirt: No real and lasting love
was ever won by coquetry. No tine,
big emotion ever came in response to
cheap little tricks. Posing as some
thing you are not can’t win you re- |
gard for what, you really are.
If a man and woman are to feel
real love and devotion, they must
build on truth. Only a revelation of
your real self can get for you the
response to your own nature which
that nature craves.
Any number of gills fancy that the
greatest charm they can possess is
that of coyness, of pretending not to
fee] anything more than surface emo
tions. They imagine that the minute
they give anytlrmg honest and real to
their friendship with men, the men
are going to tire of them.
Men do tire of winning and whim
tiering. A man is likely to be lioreik
by ceaseless demands on his time. 1
When a woman expresses a selfish
sense of possession, a man is bound
to c hafe at it. We all like to feel I
free, to assert our Individuality and
to come and go somewhat as we
please. But between fastening around
a man's life like ivy clinging to an
oak—or battering at a man's door like:
a bird trying to fly out of a storm—|
and "keepitu him guessing" there Is
a world of difference.
Loyalty! honest friendship, appre
ciation. thoughtfulness, understand-;
iug and consideration will do far
more to appeal to a man of genuine
feelings than will all the tacking!
| across his path that makes a girl !
fancy herself alluring. "To have a
i friend you must first lie one." To
i win love, you must first show some
l capacity for appreciating it.

“Children are not what they used
to be,” said Ryan. "You can teach
and teach until you are hoarse and
you won’t get a spark out of them.
Here and there you get one, an odd
one, but that's all. They don't -want
to do anything.”
”1 wouldn’t say ^iat,” said Phillips,
shifting hi* pipe. ”tVe have some
pretty busy youngsters in our school,
pretty busy!”
"Yes, busy playing.” grumbled
Ryan. ”1 know you! Y’ou let them
puddle in color and day and write
poetry books instead of composition.
1n<l 'keep store' Instead of doing arith
metic and call that business. I mean
real work. The children nowadays
have no driving force. Not a bit.
They make motions and don't get
anywhere."
"No driving force? They have
plenty. Oodles of it. The school
does not give them a chance to use
it. Then they blame the children
just us you are doing.”
"Take that Kelly lad I sent over
to your place last month,” retorted
Ryan. "Has lie any driving force?
That boy never did a thing ftiat he
wasn’t driven to do. Had to stay
in every day to study the lesHons he
hadn't taken the trouble to learn.
Big. strong, healthy boy going to
waste. You know it's so!”
"Kelly isn't going to waste, lie's

That boy has a powerful emotional

himself proud on that piece and the

AVhat the school man meant was
that school lessons become life In
fluences when they reach down into
a child's emotions, and that, until
they do, they do not function. Mem

New York Bonds
By Associated Press.
New York. May 12—Marked im
provement wa« (shown in the price**
; uf railroad mortgag*** an<! h majority
! of the industrial company liens in
the trading last week on the New
York Stock Kxchange. United States
government boids, however, were in
• lined to he reactionary and most of
! the foreign bonds sagged slightly.
The decline In new offerings, the
new issues aggregating only $1,128,
000 as compared with $82,£78.0u0 the
previous week, undoubtedly had a
considerable influence on the in
creased demand shown for listed is
sues. Market observers attributed
the relative heaviness of United
States government bonds to a nat
ural readjustment of prices, in view
of a higher rate to l>e paid in govern
ment's forthcoming new financing,
which was announced last Monday.
The n**w government issue at the
rate of 4% per cent was somewhat of
a surprise, the general expectation
; having been that the rate would be 5
tier cent. So. while the 42* per cent
rate was considered a favorable fea
ture. it was natural to expect the Lib
erty issues to adust themselves to the
new interest rate.
Favorable Influence*.
Expression of confidence In the ability i
of American bttiioMa men to rope w.th
the present era, of prosperity by Secretary
of f oramen’* ffoover and the statement of
Secretary Mellon that he considered all
danger of inflation had paaaed. also were
favorable influences during tne eek on
