Adele Garrison ^ r ‘"My Husband’# Love” Hadge Wondered at Dicky's Changed Attitude. There was no mistaking the look of recognition that had flashed Into Mollie Fawcett's eyes at sight of Dicky. But with wonderful poise for »o young a girl, she banished it in an instant and looking past Dicky at me, gave ine just the perfunctory, casual greeting which her former meeting with me called for. "Good morning, Mrs. Graham, she said in the dulcet, carefully modi ulated tones which had impressed me In Mrs. Marks' apartment. And then, hurriedly, yet with no und^e appearance of haste, she went on down the stairs. Mrs. Marks held the door open for us, and I fancied that she looked queerly at Dicky. But her words were for me. "I hope you ain’t thinkin’ of chang in’ apartments,” she said worriedly. “1 hate to get used to new neighbors end I see you’ve been lookin’ at the ones upstairs. Honest to goodness, I don't think they’re half as good as the ones down here. Don't you agree with me, Mr. Graham?” She flashed him a look which was ludicrously coquettish, and knowing Dicky’s dislike of her, I expected him to make a freezing reply. But instead he gave her one of his most genial Ciniles. Mrs. Marks Offers to Help. "They're all bad enough," he re turned. “But I do think these down here have the edge on the others. However, we re ont thinking of leav ing you,” lie made an airy little bow. “We are aimply taking an apartment upstairs for a few days in order to accommodate some guests.” “Oh!" Mrs. Mark's eyes were round. Taking a whole apartment for guests, evidently did not enter into her scheme of life. "I think I'd like to he company at your house,” she went on. "Now, if there's anything I can do to help you out”—she addressed me— "be sure to let me know. The land knows there ain't much to spare in these flats, but whatever I’ve got in chairs or spoons or dishrt, I'll be glad to help out." “Thank you so much,” I murmured gratefully, and then she finally got herself down the corridor, with an other furtive look at Dicky. We were safely inside our own liv ing room with the door shut before either of us spoke. “She’s a rough worker, but she’s a kindly soul, isn’t she?” The commendatory words were so far distant from his former criticisms of Mrs. Marks that I filed the com parison as another bit of data in the problem which I sensed was ready to confront me whenever I should have the time and courage to tackle it. I had resolved to betray no hint of my feeling to Dicky, but I could not re sist one tiny feminine Jab. "I thought you’d revise your opin ion of her when you saw more of her,” I said demurely. "Aren't you glad of this splendifer ous opportunity to say ‘I told you so,” he demanded gaily. Then with apparent nonchalance he added, "What an odd pal for Mrs. Marks that girl appeared, didn't she?” "Why?" I asked with wide-eyed in quiry. "She's the Very Type.” "Oh, I don’t know. Such a dif ferent type, so distinctively Latin and, judging from her voice and man ner, she is several dozen notches ahead of our Fetey's spouse In educa tion and breeding." "Whatever she has of either, she owes to Mrs. Marks," I returned. "She is the girl of whom I told you, whose relatives were all killed in a fire. Mrs. Marks and her mother brought her up. Indeed, her very name, Mollie Fawcett, was twisted by Mrs. Marks out of the unpro nounceable syllables which the child owned.” "Well, you can't dispute that our frowsy friend has a pretty taste In monikers," he returned. “Mollie Fawcett!" He repeated the name musingly. "That's a pippin, but can you imagine anything Tnore incon gruous than the name and the girl? She ought to have a guitar, that one, and be named Ttoslta—well, what do you know about that?” he addressed the. opposite wall fervently. I asked no questions as to wliat he meant. Up-would not have heard me if I had. He was littering little, jerky, disjointed phrases. "Now how did I come to think of that combina tion—I womier if it could be worked —she's the very type, all right." I stole away to the kitchen un heeded. Well I knew from experi ence what the sudden excitement por tended. He had seen in Mollie Faw cett's extraordinary beauty the type which he had been, seeking for some book Illustration, and he would not rest until he had secured her con sent to poee for the drawings. Birth Announcements. Mr. and Mrs. U. S. Berry announce the birth of a son, Robert Bruce, Oc tober 14, at the Stewart hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Saul J. Benyas an ! r.ounce the birth of a son?

I was married at age of 15. Al though 1 married a very good man. he has always been very good to me until the last two years. He does not seem to care very much about me of late and treats me very cold; will go away to places and stay till alt hours of night. When he comes home he does not seem to think he should tell me anyth+flg about where he has been. When X ask him he will make light of me, just say, don't you like it. Will go for days without speak ing to me; if he does speak it will be in a very ugly tone, lly husband Is a man that, drinks, nas nrank very hard of late months. I have tried to talk to him, hut hd will tell me I don’t say anything when I talk. I have been a true wife to my husband all my life, still he will accuse me of everything. I don't keep late hours nor go any place I'in ashamed for any one to know. Am considered good looking; dress neat, a good housekeeper, do all my own work, sewing everything, but since my hus band has commenced to treat me so different 1 have commenced to get very discouraged. Please give me your advice on this, as I have no one to go to. I do not tell any one my troubles, Just keep them to myself Would appreciate your advice if this letter is not too long to print. JUST A DISCOURAGED READER. When a man starts drinking It Is hard to know how to handle him. Why not try not asking him any qttes tions, and as long as he supports you keep on being a good housekeeper, look nice and neat all the time, meet him always with a smile and try to keep yourself occupied. This Is the best way to keep ourselves from brooding over our trouble?. You sure ]v deserve a great deal of sympathy. You have your little daughter to live for. Perhaps you will find happiness through her. Past Matrons of Western Nebraska Meet. The fourth annual meeting of the Western Nebraska Past Matrons club. Order of Eastern Star, was held at Cozad.
