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

SIXTEENTH AND HOWARD STREETS
i .
give a clue to their whereabout*, on
account of those measly detectives
the Harrison relatives are employing
to trace the children. 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.
