^ 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.

PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX.
Husband Abuse* Her.
Dear Miss Allen: I have been
married for 12 year*; have a little
girl. 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.
