Adele Garrison
“My Husband’s Love”
• Dr. Bmithwaite Accepted the
Situation.
Dr. Edwin Braithwaite turned as
tonished and unconsciously reproach
ful eyes upon his wife at Dicky's in
advertent revelation.
"Why, what's this, Harriet?" he
asked helplessly. "Cloing sway to
morrow? You haven't told me—"
I dug my elbow warningly into
Harriet’s arm.
"She hasn’t had time,” I struck
in gaily. "If you’re going to chastise
anybody, Edwin, cut a rod for me.
I'm the guilty party. It was I, alone,
all by myself, who thought of this
plan, and enticed Harriet into joinipg
me at the farm for a few days. In
deed she hasn't promised me certain
ly yet, but of course Dicky jumped
to the conclusion that she had.”
A Tactless Remark.
"Don't you believe a word, Ed
win," Dicky Sidmonished. "I don't
know much about my sister these
later years, but my spouse is the
most accomplished bunk thrower in
existence. For instance, 1 was led
to believe but a few moments ago
that Harriet was the one panting to
leave home and husband and was
dragging Madge along reluctantly by
the hair.”
I planned several slow tortures for
my tactless husband in the few sec
onds which elapsed before I gathered
enough breath for a retort. Why
could he not have played up to my
obvious cue? It was one thing to
have Harriet leave her husband to
his own devices, as an offset to the
to assiduous care with which she
had surrounded him for years; It was
distinctly "something else again"—
1 recalhd the phraseology of Lillian's
old colored cook with a smile—to hurt
and offend him by having him believe
her anxious to get away.
"I fancy Kdwin knows Harriet well
enough to take your chatter for what
It is worth," I replied with an edge to
my voice which I hoped Dicky would
recognize as a signal to keep quiet.
"The whole thing, Edwin"—I turned
■o him—"was planned hy me because
of Mother Graham. You know she is
getting older and feebler each year,
uid she is really pitiful in her anxiety
to have Harriet with her for a good
>ong visit.
I was speaking but the truth in
the last words. Indeed I had felt
listinct irritation against Harriet for
,ier willingness to sacrifice her moth
er's longings to her husband's con
venience. I was sure of my gen
erous. big-hearted brother-in-law's re
sponse, however, and his prompt re
ply -justified my belief.
"Why, of course!" he said heartily.
"Harriet ought to go. and I shall get
along famously, never fear. It was
only, my dear,” he turned to his wife
galiantly, "that I was so taken by
surprise. But, really, you could not
go at a better time. I am feeling un
usually fit, and my patient is in such
good hands and has rallied so won
derfully that I have no special anxiety
there.' Dick and I will ramble around
New York—that is if he can put up
with an old man’s—"
The Note of Pathos.
"Didn't I tell you?" Dicky de
manded of me. "II hat old Kd and
I will do to poor old Broadway.”
"No doubt we shall find It a deep
maroon tint when we get back." I
returned. "But we don t envy you.
^'e'll be feeding chickens and
hugging Junior—"
"1 11 trade anything on Broadway
for that privilege,” Jipilor's uncle
said, and there was In his voice as
he uttered the apparently jesting
words which clutched at my heart
strings. That Harriet recognized the
note also I knew by the convulsive
twitch of her arm next to mine, and
1 hastened a commonplace return.
"You ought to be. able to run out
and take the privilege % a couple of
days, couldn't you? \ou could see
Mrs. Dur'kee before you took the early
train on one day and after you came
back on the evening one the next.
That would give you almost two days
with us.”
"That's a splendid idea. Madge,” he
said with enthusiasm. "I ought to be
able to manage it in about three days
from now. And it will break the
loneliness of your absence, my dear.”
He smiled affectionately at his wife.
"Are you yearning to have me

break the loneliness of yours? Dicky
struck in with a jesting smile at
me, but I fancied that I detected a
note of bitterness behind the jibe, and
with quick and inconsistent contri
tion for a resentment which I knew
could not be healed so quickly, I an
swered him swiftly—eagerly:
“Of course I am. If you don’t come
with Edwin, I shall—
“Don't be too brash in your

relieved note in his voice, and then
the limousine halted in front of a
brilliantly lighted entrance.

PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX.
□HltlSTMAS TIME is no time to
think of nervous troubles or to
have "ingrowing thoughts'' A
letter from one who signs "Nervous
Wreck” has just been received in
this column. Here is the letter in
part:
“I think it is wonderful for the
people to have some place to come
for help. I am a nervous wreck. I
have been to several doctors and they
tell me to take exercise and to diet.
Can you help me? I haven't much
money. I am desperate.”
In holiday time, a time when every
thing is joyful, it makes any one
want to preach a little or to moralize
when a letter like this comes to light.
If physicians have made examina
tions and find no cause for anxiety
as to your state of health, it is time
to use a little Couelsm, N£w Thought,
or any other method of thinking that
will make you forget your state of
health which seems good.
The air is frn, so why not take It?
And exei vise is something that is
also to he had for the taking. The
gnat outdoors is usually the best
doctor fin cases of your kind. Even
if you haven't a garden spot in which
to take your promenade, take it daily
if you want to improve.
Nerves are often a frame of mind
that you cultivate. Take an interest
in tilings about you. Force yourself
to think of pleasant things. That
wouldn't be so hard to do at this time
of year. Just look around you.
Every one cannot is? happy at Christ
mas time, but there is such a large
majority of smiling faces and gener
ous giving now that it seems difficult
to do anything else but be happy.
Diet if It will help you any, but the
main thing to do Is to remember, If
you can’t find happiness In your own
interests. look around and make joy
for yourself by doing for others.
You'll forget you have nerves If
you begin to serve others Just a
little, and then a little more.
Unsolved Problems.
Dear Miss Allen: I am a student
at Central High school, and my age Is
15. I have two problems that I can
not solve.
There is A boy two years older, who
is exceedingly fond of me. He also
attends Central High school. He has
been giving me candy almost every
day for about two months. I like
candy very much hut I don't care at

I This is an elimination tryout
for the hiu contest nijrht of
p^
all for this boy. How can I refuse
without hurting his fpeiings?
My second problem is as important
to me as the first. I have always
had a good "stand in" with my
teachers but now I have one who
seems to almost hate me. It’s a
woman teacher. I have tried very
hard to please her and I feel that she
has graded me unfairly. Is it possi
ble to change her attitude toward
me? JANEYIXTU.
How can you he so heartless, Janey,
as to take candy from a boy who
means nothing to you? By accepting
his presents you have made him be
lieve that you are interested in him.
I should think you wouldn't be able
to enjoy the sweets if your conscience'
is with you while you eat. You're
Just "biting the hand that is feeding
you." You surely repaid this gener
ous youth with a smile for his kind
ness. didn’t you? Now that you are
indebted to him-, let him drop easily.
Refuse the candy once a week and
then more often and he’ll gradually
realize that you care no longer for
his attentions.
As for the "pull" with the teachers,
it sounds as if you had depended more
upon your smiles and wiles than upon
the merit of your work. Some teach
ers are very matter of fact and de
mand real work from students. If
there is only one who expects this
from you, why not do it since you
don’t seem to find it necessary with
the others. You must have plenty
of time for that one study. The
teacher will change her attitude
toward you if you excel in your work.
If yon hn\c any lov#* problem* or other
question* you want anawrred, write to
Martha Allen and they will be HMwerrd
In the order they are received.
