Adele Garrison “Mv Husband's Love” v / Why Dicky's Mother Strove to fSuaril Madge Against Mollie. Mother Graham's frigid query as to the identity of "Mollie," for whom Junior was clamoring, affected me no whit, but Dicky's startled glanre at me when his small son visited the girl's name quickened my pulses measureably. There was no question In his mind concerning the person of whom Junior was babbling. This was as palpable as was the fact that he was i both displShscd and uneasy. He . was poised enough, however, to * speak no betraying word, and I am * sure his mother noticed nothing un „ usual In his demeanor: But that ‘ Katherine had both seen and com prehended his art I was certain. I had no time, however, for con jecture. My mother-in-law's ques . tion still waited an answer, and while I knew there must he no de lay, yet I had a curious reluctance ' to name, Mollie Fawcett with Dicky * listening. A remembrance of my * mother-in-law's love of the melo J dramatic flashed into my mind, and * 1 Immediately bridled It and rode to ■ conversational safety upon It. "I cannot tell you that just now, mother, dear,” I said, putting on a * mysterious air. "If I can see you alone after dinner—you see—Lillian's ? affair.'’ * I purposely stumbled awkwardly through the explanation, and my * J mother-in-law's satisfied nod and gracious “Oh, of course," rewarded me. But I caught a sardonic gleam In Dicky's eyes, and he was distlnct -ly sulky for the rest of the meal. Mother Graham corralled me im mediately after dinner and bore me off to the library, while Dicky en gaged Junior and Miriam in the ■■ romp that always signalizes his rc , turn home after an ahsence. j> “Now, what is this Mollie husl v ness, Margaret?” my mother-ln law 11 demanded emphatically. In as many words as I could man age in order to make the tale as im pressive as possible, I sketched -enough of the task in which Lillian was engaged to make plausible Mol lie Fawcett’s presence in our house hold. Mother Graham listened atten tively, her keen old face alive with interest, and her comments showed me that at least I had accomplished my purpose of Insuring courteous treatment of Mollle Fawcett at her hands during the glrl'a stay. "Does Klchard know anything of the girl or of this affair?” she asked disconcertingly at the end of our talk. "I do not know what Lillian has told him,” I said, truthfully enough. ”1 have told him nothing, for most of it has happened since you left.” "It's just as well to say nothing abm^f it," she said, surprisingly. "By the way, what sort of looking girl is this Mollie?” t "Exquisitely beautiful," I replied. "Humph!” my tnother-lnlaw ejac ulated, and then a moment later she added, as if irrelevantly: “You'd bet ter see that Richard gets an early breakfast tomorrow morning. He will want to go Into his studio, no doubt, for his work must he piled up high.” "I’ll attend to it," I prothised with outward casualness, although my nerves tensed at this Indication that Dicky’s mother, who knew him best, evidently thought It wise to keep Dicky away from the vicinity of our attractive young guest. "See that you do,” she retorted, and then with a quick shifting of th9 subject, she put an anxious ques tion: "Have you had any letter from Kdwlrt and Harriett yet?" she asked. "No," I returned, "There hasn’t been time, has there?" ‘Just about,” she said. ‘But they're going to be extremely care ful about sending messages that will | Miss Information | V/ I I An Extra Bedroom If You Have This Da-Nite Bed One simple little motion and- yeur living room settee becomes a full size, comfort able bed with tufted, feltod cotton mat tress.

Here's an in stance to show you how they're man aging: "They gave a friend they en countered on the steamer a wireless to sitid on his return trip to one of Edwin’s professional associates In De troit. The friend, a prominent sur geon, gave It to Dicky. It says they arrived safely, are all well, and will write as soon as possible. So I'm looking for a letter any day. "By the way, Margaret^rtld It ever strike you that there Is something unusual behind that determined search for those children? Surely the comparatively small estate William left, which goes to them anyway, isn’t reason enough for all the trail ing those relatives have been doing, especially a* we know they haven't any affection for the children.” "You mean you think there's some financial stake involved of which we know nothing?" "I mean there's skullduggery rf some kind going on," she replied tart ly. “And I'm going to find out about, it before I'm many months older. But I’m extremely-tired, and If you don't mind, Pm going to bed. N9, don't come up with me. You’ve been up stairs with me once. I'm perfectly capable of finding nty own room." But I insisted on going with her, and invented a dozen excuses for at tending to her comfort. I had two motives in this, both of which I realized were distinctly selfish. I wished to insure her good nature during the next few days. And— I wished to put off as long as pos sible the trying letea-tete with Molile Fawcett as the etibject of discussion, which I knew wss inevitable be tween Dicky and me. [ Your Problems ) (alls for “Thank You.” Dear Miss Allen: You have an swered my love questions before, but this is not about love. The boss Is planning on leaving for New' York, and he said when he came back he would bring me some kind of a souvenir. Now, what I would like to know is how shall I accept this, and what shall I say to him? Respectfully. BtATE EYES. Just say simply “thank you," and make some pleasant comment on the gift if you can. He Will Propose Again. Dear Miss Allen: As many others do. I am writing to you for advice. I have read your column for a long time and think your advice is wisely given. My problem is like many others T have read, with only a little difference. I am deeply in love with a young man who, 1 know, once cared a great deal for me. I refused his proposal last summer without giving any rea son but our age. After my refusal he left town for about three or four months. In his sbsence I realised that I really was in love with George and renewed our friendship on his return. Now, the problem is that X don't think he rare* as much for me now as he once did. Me rail* regularly for a while, but forgets me sometimes for a month at a time, then he call* agsin for about three times a week and drops off again. It seems like he thinks of me only when he is with me X would like to know if he just calls on me when he has no other place to spend his time and what would be best to do to make him love me again. Thanking you kindly, T am, "CLARA " Tour apparent Interest in the boy since his return to town would as sure him that his case Is not hope less, and if he Is really In love with you he will propose again. In the meantime there isn't much you can do except to show that you enjoy his society and welcome his visits. Iam sorry to say it, but if he lets a month go by without calling on you, he can’t be seriously interested, unless, perhaps his pride is hurt and he is trying to show independence. You would know best which it is. Who Knows Best? Dear Miss Alien: So many people have received so much good advice from you we thought we would write to you. We are two girls, both 15, and are in love with two boys, both 16. Our mothers object to our going with them. Do you think we should go? We enjoy having a good time and our mothers object. Please tell us what to do. Wishing to see this in The Omaha Dally liee. BOBBIK AND BILLY. Who know* best, do you suppose? Your mother, who lias loved you, guarded you and worked for you all your lives, or two boys you have know probably a very short time, and who are doubtless thinking more of their own pleasure than of your wel fare. 7,000 Pairs of Ruffled Curtains Grouped to Sell at Prices Unbelievably Low This is the largest single ship- Buy for your whole house during ment of curtains from any one this sale and SAVE ONE-THIRD manufacturer ever received by OR MORE.
