“My Husband’s Love”
The Result of the Conference With
the Janitor.
I stood stock still for several sec
onds with Dicky's handkerchief in my
hand trying to solve the que^r prob
lem which its presence beneath the
table bad presented. It was not an
odd thing for it to be on the floor—
he strews his possessions everywhere
•—but I had swept the tiny room care
fully after I had put my purchases in
the refrigerator, and I was sure that
it had not been there at that time.
i?nd he had not been in the room
since to my certain knowledge.
Perhaps it was not Dicky's after
all, though that conjecture brought up
the terrifying possibility that some
masculine marauder had been able to
^^fiake his way into the apartment
^^nitlsout my knowledge. I unfolded the
mouchoir, shook it out, and examined
it closely. There was no mistake
about it being Dicky's. It was one of
a set W’hich I had embroidered and
given him upon his last birthday. I
could not fail to recognize his mono
gram in my own needlework.
Something about the feeling of It in
my hands brought It quickly up to
my face, and I sniffed inquiringly, con
firming the conjecture which a hint
of dampness about the article had
brought to my mind. The handker
chief had been washed and ironed
within the last few minutes. I would
stake all my housewifely lore-upon It.
With sudden distaste, I hurried into
the bedroom, opened Dicky's handker
chief box and deposited the offending
mouchoir within it. For offending it
was to me. I felt that I wanted it
out of sight as soon as possible, al
though I would not admit even to my
self the reason for my feeling.
Madge Discovers an Intruder.
I was glad that my shopping list
•ailed me out of doors. Indeed I think
I should have left the apartment even
if I had possessed no valid reason for
going. Hut I felt choked, the room i
seemed suddenly a stifling prison, and
I longed instinctively for the open
* With trembling fingers I adjusted
my hat and coat, picked up my purje
and opened the door. As I stepped
•,n:o the hall, there was a quick, rus
tling movement in the hall above me,
ami I looked up, In time only, to catch
a retreating glimpse of a man s hat.
It needed no Sherlock Holmes to de
duce that some man was watching
our hall from the next stairway, and
that he had withdrawn his head pre
cipitously when he saw our hall door
open. Mrs. Marks' warning against
sneak thieves reccured to my mind,
and my first thought was to rush up
the stairs and confront the loiterer.
Then, sanity reminded me that I had
not the authority for such an inves
tigation, but neither my conscience
nor my apprehension would permit
me to leave the building with the in

going directly to the street I descend
ed from the first floor to the base
ment quarters of the janitor.
"I Take Herman."
I found him contentedly smoking a
pipe beside his furnace, to which he
gave far more assiduous attention
than is accorded many babies. He
.rose with old-fashioned courtesy as
soon as he saw me.
"You vant me to carry the tings
down for you already, neln?" he
asked.
"Oh, no not for an hour or two
yet,” I answered hurriedly, "but I
thought you ought to know, Mr.
Schwartz, that there is a man stand
ing In the third floor hall watching
the people below. • He drew back
when I looked up, hut I caught a
glimpse of his hat. Of course he may
have business there—”
"No—no," Mr. Schwartz was mov

the door and I kept pace with him

A shock-headed youth appeared
from the darkness of the trunk room.
I knew that he was the Janitor's as
sistant and was reassured by his size
and evident strength. I had felt a
trifle apprehensive at sending the old
janitor upon an errand which might
prove dangerous.
"I take Herman with me,” he said
determinedly, "und we soon rout dot
afer out. Here, Missis Graham,
you can go out dis door. It Is

He indicated the basement door,
and I sallied forth upon my er
rands, relieved from my vague fears
for the safety of my small possessions
from possible sneak thieves.
Mrs. Baldrige Speaks of
Hostility Encountered
in Germany
Unable to see Interviewers earlier
because of the hurry of settling in
Omaha after a year and a half in
Paris, Mrs. Howard Baldrige, who ar
rived in Omaha a week ago, told re
porters today how much more pleas
ant It is to go through customs in
spection In Omaha than in Germany.
, We were prepared for rigidity in
the search,” she said, "l|pt it was
exacting to the point of insult. The
hostility the German people feel for
Americans is apparent, so much so
that in Cologne and Berlin X kept to
my room and read while Mr. Bal
drige went sight seeing. They almost
refuse to sell Americans anything.
A pen knife Incident convinced me
of that. I wanted a special kind for
my son, Malcolm, and a few of his
friends, but they would not sell; they
needed them for their own people.
The Germans are very strict about
the mark. During the customs in
spection they rifled the pages of a
package of books for they want to
keep them in the country, although
no one else wants them. In the
station on our departure Mr. Bal
drige purchased an orange from a
very little girl, and in payment, held
out a 50,000 mark note in one hand,
and a dime in the other. Quick as
a flash tbe small bargainer snatch
ed the dime and made off without a
word.
"when we went through me cus
toms house we found It most unpleas
ant. It was nothing piore than a
long shed with little booths like bath
houses. They went through every
thing. The women attendants took
my hair down, searched my body, un
tied every package, and prodded every
lining in coats and negligees.
Then I had to repack. It so hap
pened that 1 had Mr. Baldrige's over
coat over my arm when I went in.
and unknown to me he had pur
chased a few trinkets—a bracelet,
some studs, oh. a f« w small things,
and—when they found them they
leered at me and said "Ah ha," ac
cusingly. After it was all over they
stuck out their hands for pourbolre
(a tip). Of course I Ignored it.
Norwegians Kind.
"We found the people In Norway
most kind. It was there Mr. Baldrige
fell ill. In the little town of Alesand.
Not an American had been In that
town for 10 years before our arrival,
and we were held there, waiting for
Malcolm, for 17 days. I was traveling
with a handbag as my only baggage
and had to buy a new wardrobe. Of
course I had to get It all by signs and
if I hadn't been so worried about the
illness of my husband I would have
found it most amusing.
"X loved living In Paris.” she went
on. “Festive hours there are great
ly akin to ours in America. I had to
abandon bridge for a while for I
hardly had time with my lectures in
the university. However, there was
quite an Omaha colony In Paris, and
we filled the social calendar much
as we do here. Mrs. Frank Hamilton,
the Spanish countess who formerly
lived here, has a beautiful apartment
there with her two children, Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Barber are there, Mrs.
Charles Hull was there for six months
and Miss Linda Curtis, who will be
remembered as the daughter of
Colonel Curtis, one of Omaha’s most
respected pioneers.
Miss Curtis, who was over for al
most a year from her Greenwich
(Conn.) home, plans to return to
Omftha soon to visit Mrs. William
Martin. We had Omaha teas, every
now and then, and added to our list
of acquaintances.
“I found my studies absorbing. The
classes themselves were a study, for
in them were Itussians, Japanese and
an Abyssinian, among all the French
and English.”
Mrs. Baldrige and Mr. Baldrigo
have given up their home for the
winter to Dr. and Mrs. Karl Connell,
and will remain at the Fontenelle
until after Christmas, when they will
go to California.
