^ “My Husband's Love” J
Lillian Maile a Generous Apology.
’Jealousy, fierce, ugly—that was the
thing which I saw flaming from Har
i1et Bi-aithwaite's eyes when her hus
bgnd carelessly had encouraged the
child, Mary Harrison, to disobey her
i ,unt. Lillian's cryptic words sudden
ly were made plain as day to me.
This was the tiling she 'had meant,
and the thing which she said Edwin
KgaJtliwaite recognized as one of the
tgctors to be met If he and Harriet
should adopt tho orphaned Harrison
cjitldrcn.
It was a double-headed as well as
gyeen-eyed monster whose eyes looked
through those of my sister-in-law. I
■ Quid Fee that without putting fortli
any claim to be considered psychic,
ishe was not only Jealous of her hus
luand's putting the children's wishes
before her; but in even greater de
gree siie resented the preference
which her orphaned niece and neph
cays openly expressed for their big
Playfellow, Dr. Braithwaite. who had
no real tie of kinship with them.
With Lillian's lunul still upon my
anu. I watched my sister-in law close
ly, secure in the shelter of the por
tieres. That Lillian was doing the
safne thing I guessed from the tense
pressure of her lingers, and the next
second we were aware that there liad
been a third observer of Harriet
Uraithwaite's face. For, with a move
ment as swift and graceful as that
of a fawn leaping to its mother's side,
Mary Harrison sprang from the floor,
and running to her aunt, caught her
round the neck.
“I’m Very Sorry."
_ “Oh, Auntie Harriet, I’m a bad girl,
bad, bad!'' she said vehemently. ‘‘But
I didn't mean to speak that way.
Truly, I didn’t. And I'll apologize to
Uncle Dicky."
?3he turned to him with a pretty,
deprecatory air. “I’m very sorry I
wras rude, Uncle Dicky,” she said.
"Forget it,.” Dicky advised with
an' obtuseness to the situation for
wlflch I cheerfully could have boxed
his ears, "and hurry up with this
bump business. If I'm to be a self
respecting cgmel I must be dressed
properly.”
Mary looked swiftly lip into her
adht’s fare for permission, and was
in’ time to witness the marvelous
transformation which had swept over
It at the loving touch of the child’s
arms and the contrition in her voice.
U^ery trace of the ugly jeal
odsy which had so disfigured it was
gone, and In Its placa was a tender.
Engagement Fails to Dispel
Charms of Others
He Can’t Lose Interest in Girls—List of Telephone
Numbers Doesn’t Decrease.
Bj MARTHA ALLEN
□JIEN a fellow gets engaged
then his troubles begin to start.
So says Herbert who writes
the following:
“Why is it, Martha Allen, that
when a fellow is really intent upon
excluding ail others front his mind
that things begin to happen? op
portunities for making new and in
teresting friends abound. It is a temp
tation to exchange banter with them
which leads to social calls. My list of
telephone numbers that represented a
directory of adventuro and short-lived
romance, doesn’t seem to decrease. 1
am in love with the girl I have chosen,
but I can’t lose all interest in the
others. W'hat am X to do?’’
i
You fall to give me your age,
Herbert, so it is dangerous to em
phatically state that you are too young
or really old enough to know better.
It seems evident, at any rate, that you
aren't ready to get yourself all tied up.
Freedom Is what you crave and free
dom you should have until you are in
different frame of mind. If you are
really in love with the girl you should
spare her feelings and perhaps a
broken heart. Wait until you can'
calmly overlook the charms of the
girls about you before you decide
to center your attention on one girl.
If you want to avoid trouble and
if you want to make the one girl
happy, stay free until you can throw
that list or telephone numoers away
and find no thrill in the short-lived
romances. You seem to realize your
faultH, or weaknesses, whatever you
want to call them, so have another
big realization and break the engage
ment until your mind is more ma
ture.
Phyllis—No harm in using cos
metics if you don't use them to ex
cess. Some girls are greatly Improved
In looks by a little addition of rouge
or lipstick. And powder if it isn't put
on likeplaster, doesn't hurt anyone.
Perhaps your friend objects so to
paint and powder because he has only
noticed girls with a quantity of make
up on their faces. Some girls look
grotesque with their lashes painted
with black paint, scarlet cheeks and
ruby lips. Perhaps lie hasn’t even
realized that the girls who look
natural do use cosmetics in modera
tion. Refuse to argue the question
with him. You don't tell him to use
no bay runv or powder after shaving,
do you? He hasn't any more right to
tell you how your face should he
fixed than you have to tell him what
lotion to use on his face. Sucli per
sonal details can't be discussed.

mothering look which enveloped Mary
as if it were a warm cloak.
"Everything's all right, darling,”
she' murmured. "You have been a
very dear girl. Kiss me and run
along to your play.”
She clasped the child tightly in her
arms, kissed her warmly and when
she released her. I saw with amaze
ment that she dashed her hand fur
tively, angrily, against her eyes.
Harriet Braithw'aite, of all women,
with tear-wet lashes! It was unbe
lievable, and I glanced quickly, stir
t eptitiously, at her husband to see
if he, too, had seen her emotion. To
all outward seeming he was absorbed
in the play Mary was directing, but
I saw- that there was a tender little
smile quirking his lips, and was con
vinced that he had seen and under
stood Harriet's fight with herself.

parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Dal
las, on the afternoon of November
21, from 4 until 7:30 o'clock. Several
luncheons In her honor were scheduled
for the week following the tea; also
several dinners. The names of Miss
Dallas’ various hostesses were men
tioned. So was the fact that Brights
wood, her parents' summer home at
Green Hills, Long Island, was to he
opened over the Thanksgiving li
day, and filled with a house party. In
eluding a number of this season's
debutantes. One of the most antic-.
Ipated affairs of the season was the
ball to* Iwfcfven for- Miss Dallas in
the early January. So the papers
said; so the various society columns
repeated and repeated again. "Miss
Dallas is one of the most popular
debutantes of the season, etc., etc."
("oh, she'll Jike that.” thought Helen
to herself),, "whose picture Is printed
below” ("she'll cut that out." she
smiled).
Helen avoided newspaper notoriety
usually. Stephen wondered at her
willingness to allow Laurel's name
to appear frequently in print, and in
conspicuous print.
lie wondered at another sudden
oddity of Helen's. .The servants
wondered at it. too. In fact It was
■ lie of the servants who brought it
to his attention. Twice, lately, upon
arriving home in the late afternoon,
he had noticed that the shades in the
house were not all drawn, lie had
been able to look into Helen's room
on the second floor, and see Laurel
seuted under the light, at. the piano,
playing. He spoke to the parlor maid.
"I know, sir. It hardly seems safe,
sir. But it's Mrs. Dallas's orders,
sir.”
Later to Stephen, Helen explained,
"But It’s looks so pretty from the
street. Why shut in all our love
liness? I’ll run the risk of burglars."
Even on the afternoon of Laurel's
tea, Helen ordered the shades raised.
She went even further. With her
own hands she pulled back the lace
curtains In the bey window where eho
and Laurel were going to stand to
receive their guests.
“It looks out only on the alley,"
she shrugged.
It rained on the morning of Laurel's
tea. It rained in torrents.
“Gracious, don't It pour!" exclaimed
Stella for the dozenth time to the
woman next to her. and for the
dozenth time to herself. " 'Twon’t make
any difference, though. They've all
got limousines." Then out loud again,
"gracious, don't it jxiur!"
Every few minutes she looked up
from the machine which she had hern
feeding with coarse white cambric all
(he morning, and gazed anxiously out
of the stpenked window beside her
toward the building opposite, against
the dark background of which she
could sec the rain sweeping.
About noon she exclaimed, "Say, It
looks lighter! Say, donlt It look light
er to you?" Then, "It Is letting up.
It looks to me as though It was let
ting up a little." And finally, “Gosh.
It's going to clear off!" And It did!
At 6 o'clock that afternoon, when
Stella, with a hundred or so other
women, emerged from the big black
building through the little opening
at the bottom ilike the opening cut at
the bottom of a big black hogshed;
every little while a thin dark stream
of humanity would pour out of the
building; it housed over a hundred
small faetorles), the air was clear and
crisp and cold. Stella stepped out of
the little stream, once on the side
walk, stood still, and gazed straight
up. Tea! It was all right! The stars
were shining like mad, up there, at
the top of the canyon, beyond the
dizzy precipices.
