“My Husband’s I.ove”

The Astounding Reply Lucy Gave
Mrs. DurUee.
Katherine and I rose Instantly at
Bella's summons, and followed her
back to Mrs. Durkee's room. My
"prophetic aoul" I was sure would tie
justified in its fears. Our unexpected
call, and Mrs. Durkee's wish to have
us stay for luncheon, bade fair to
precipitate a crisis In the kitchen.
When we reached the Invalid’s
room we found her sitting eyect In
her chair, her cheeks pink and her
eyes snapping.
"Look here, girls," she said crisply,
"this convalescent business is played
out. You’d think I was h 2-year-old
child the way I'm bossed around.”
"That's right,” Dicky said soothing
ly. "There's nothing worse than be
ing bossed around. We'll be square
8he struck at him playfully, but
there was also real impatience In the
gesture.
"Do be quiet for IB seconds,” she
implored, and then turned to me.
"Here are Leila and Katherine,”
she said, waving her hand toward
them, "actually telling me that I'd
better not call this Lucy or whatever
ber name is up here and tell her
about luncheon. Anybody would
think Dr. Bralthwaite cut out a sec
tion of my brain when be operated.
I may not be brillllaat, but I think I
still can manage to order a luncheon
wit bout bringing humiliation on the
family."
She was so fetching in her indig
nation that we all shouted with
laughter and Dicky patted her hand.
"You shall order a 16-course dinner
at my expense the minute you're able
to go to a restaurant,” he assured
her, and she beamed at him.
"I'll Just take you up on that.
Dicky-bird,” she said, "and we won’t
have any chaperon, either. But that
doesn't settle this other question."
She looked belligerently at ua. and
Katherine spread her hand* with a
little gesture of surrender.
"AH right,” she said, "Delia will
you go after her, or-”
"Oh, please," Doi!a'« hands twisted
together nervously. "I can’t stand
her. I hate to lie down like this
but-"
“Don't be foolish." Katherine's tone
was brisk and reassuring. "I don’t
blame you for feeling scary, you
have to stay here with her, but It'sn I
in the day's work with me. No, your
majesty," she turned to little Mrs.
Durkee, "please don't get up and
walk around. You'll be all tired out
before she comes.”
"I'm composing my menu," Mrs.
Durkee responded, laughing. "You
know lots of poets walk around for
inspiration.”
"Yes, but they’re longer away from
a hospital bed than you are,” Kath
erine retorted Inexorably. “Come, now.
I’ve given in to you about bringing
Ducy up here, and you must humor
me a bit."
Her face and smile were coaxing
but her voice was inflexible beneath
It's softness and I noticed that
though little Mrs, Durkee pouted, she
scuttled back to her seat as a cowed
cbiifl might have done. But when
Katherine had left the room, she be
gan to talk like a magpie.
"I like Mrs. Bickett,” she began,
and her use of my little kinswoman's
surname measured the depth of her
annoyance, "but I can't say my soul s
my own when she's around. I Just
know I don’t need a nurse any longer.
And T know that colored woman Isn't
moving the furniture and sweeping
behind it. I can Just feel It In my
hones. But I'll be downstairs 1n two
or three days, and then I’ll straighten
her out, I'll promise you.’’
Behind her mother-in-law's back
Leola flashed a tremulous amused
smile at me. Little Mr*. Durkee al
ways hss prided herself upon getting
along without a maid, and she knows
nothing whatever about the Independ
ence of the few "general workers”
left In capltivity. She has the attitude
of 40 years ago toward them, and I
foresaw fireworks when the little
woman should undertake the disciplin
ing of the somber Lucy.
When Katherine’s light, quick
fi>otsteps, followed by heavier drag
ging ones, sounded outside the door,
I saw our little hostess straighten
herself in her chair and assume an
air of dignity which sat oddly but be
corrlng’y. upon . her doll-like face.
Katherine swung open the door and
Lucy, dour and dark, came slowly
into the rim.
“le u wished to see me?” she ques
tioned, addressing Mrs. Durkee, and
KivInK ;he impression of seeing no
one else in the room.
"Yes, Lucy,” Mr*. DurUee re
sponded pleasantly. "I want you to
serve the nicest luncheon you can
for my friends here. I’ll tell you
now what I want.”
The woman drew herself up to her
full height and folded her arm*.
"Tou kin save your liref.” she an
nounced loftily. “I’m a respectable
woman and I'm holiness, too. I
don’t lower mahself Rettln* a meal
for no trashy bootlcitaers."

Omaha Needs The
Charter Amendments
VOTE YES
On election day if will be your duty to vote upon important amendments
to the Omaha City Charter.
Omaha needs these amendments. Her future growth and development
will be very materially benefited by their adoption.
These amendments are not partisan. All the candidates for City Com
mission favor them. Here’s what these amendments mean:
Better Boulevards
Will give the city the right to pave boulevards
within a mile and a half of the City Hall, to be paid
for by the abutting property. This regulation now
applies*to all streets within a mile and a half of
the City Hall but doesn't include boulevards.
f:
Lighten Improvement Tax Burden
Will permit property owners to make “time pay
ments” instead of paying cash for street improve
ments, extending the time from 50 days to 10
years
Economy in Paving
Requires the City Engineer to determine proper
cost of paving, grading, etc., by making an official
estimate. Will throw out contractors’ bids that do
not meet or fall below this estimate. This will, be
a big saving to taxpayers.
No More Refunding Bonds
Will require the City Council to set aside suffi
cient funds to pay off, at maturity, all future
bonds, except special assessment and public utility
bonds. This will end the present practice of pay
ing off bonds by issuing more bonds. It will be a
tremendous saving to taxpayers, of interest on the
bonded debt.
We recommend these Amendments, solely in the
interest of Omaha, and not for ourselves, or for any
member of our organizations:
