A Wife's Confessional Ailele Garrison’s New I’hase ol REVELATIONS OF A WIFE (Copyright, 1*24 > rliy Mother Graham Sent Madge to See the Baby. At Edith’s message, little Mrs. Durkee revived as might a dry plant after a rainfall. She cast a quick, shamefaced glance at me and I heroically refrained from saying. “I lc!d you so.” and substituted a gay. •'Oh, but I’m jealous!” which brought a quick comprehending glance from Edith. "Grandmothers first, you know," she said. “But I'll promise you a glimpse of the baby a little later, •you’ll have to wait to see la?IIa, however. The nurse is adamant.” “She should be," I returned, smilingly. But I warn you not to keep me waiting too long for the sight of the new little nie—grand daughter." X do not think absorbed little Mrs. Durkee caught the slurred word “niece” which I so nearly uttered, but Edith’s quicker perceptions recognized the slip, and from behind the hurrying little woman's liack she flashed me a merry smile and a comradely wink such as I rareiy had received from her. * I returned the wink and the smile with a dazed little feeling that the whd had thus saluted me could not be the melancholy being whom a jtwr hours before I Inadvertently had £«trd I.eila reproach for her roman t feeling concerning my husband, knew of course that her relief joy over her sistsr had sent her , jju^ntal thermometer soaring, and JKUat she probably would regret her : (exuberance of manner toward me v.'ben she brought her spirits down -Wtr fearth again. But there was only 'one course for me. I must watch her pi ties and return them in exactly the - Ipttne spirit as they were given. |-vl returned to my, mother-in law's J li^oni. finding her sitting bolt upright ■ bed, her eyes bright with excite i'tnjent. . K. '“Well. I suppose everything's > elver." she said. “I heard Mrs. Dur ■ fkee's voice in the hall just now. and ;elarted to' get out of bed. but I felt t dizzy and crept back in. What's the , je j t0id her everything that I had . I'liibrned, while I reflected that her * fell must have taught her a caution never had known before. I have ^■Ehown her to crawl on her hands 'nnd knees to the door of her room .-when she was too dizzy to stand upright. What's to Be the Name* "Humph!" she commented when I had finished. “Too bad it wasn’t a l«y. Then there wouldn't have been any scrap over the name." "Why. I imagine the name was set tied long agoV I answered. "L<ella told me once that her mother and stster were both named Edith, and ihat she thought it (he most beauti ful name in the world." Mother Graham snorted. “Edith, forsooth!" she said. "What do you suppose Mrs. Durkee will have to say to that? She'll want to give it her own name. Mary, or If they have to please India's side of the family"—her voice reflected the usual antipathy of one side of “in laws" for the other—"what’s the matter with calling it Dora, after Aunt Dora Paige?" "Perhaps they'll compromise." I laughed, "and call It Harriet, for you, or Margaret, for me." "They might do worse," she re torted. "and will if they persist in calling It Edith. I detest that name." Mother Graham fairly spat the words out, and I looked at her in astonishment. 1 knew that she did not particularly care for Edith Fair fax, but there was more than ordi nary dislike, there was loathing in her tone. She saw my involuntarily raised eyebrows, and gave a sudden bitter little laugh. "I, too, knew an Edith once, who almost spoiled my life." she said, and I pounced upon the little word “too.1' which she had used and stressed all unconsciously, and worried it in feline fashion. "Haven’t Seen If?’’ Was Mother Graham Referring to the past of which she was fully cognizant, or did she guess or know something which I did not concern ing the present relations—apparently those of commonplace friendliness— between Dicky and Edith Fairfax? She gave me no time for specula tion, however, but followed up her half confidence with an eager ques tion. "What does the haby look like?” she queried, all an old woman's natural curiosity In her voice. "t don't know,” ] answered. ''I haven't seen it, yet. ' "Haven't seen It?” she echoed. "Well, what are you staying around here for? For me. I'll bet a cookie. Now, see here. Margaret, If I've got to be treated like a child. I'll take my medicine. I'll promise you not to stir from this hed while you're pone, but you go directly and see that baby, and come back and tell me alt about it." And spurred by her curiosity as well as my own Inclination. I obeyed her. --- ■'I Mrs. Loomis Bazar Head —--___' - - • •- -_;_^_J ^ ^fCL'V's^ c7red Zooim.t s' ~ ^ For Mrs. Millard Misses Erna and Peggy Reed will i entertain at luncheon on Wednesday at the Omaha club for Mrs. Bob Mil lard (Claire Daugherty.!

Dear Martha Allen: I am not In trouble nr just exactly seeking your advice, but I want to tell you some thing and see what you think about it. T am past IT and have been keep ng ompany with a darling boy, who Is 21. I have gone with him for over a year and, even though we are young, we are In love with each other. He Is a perfect gentleman in every re spect and I try to he a real lady. There is a difference in religion and besides our folks object very much to our love on account of that and also our difference in age. Now, Miss Allen, it Is just this: We think that we are made for each other and, of course, we are engaged. Do you think that it would be all right for us to wait for two years and then be married? I will graduate this spring and contemplate going to uni versity. I am so happy, because when I was younger I went with a good many boys and they were all so rough and "hard," and I thought that all men were the same, but now I know dif ferently, because at last I found one that Is not like that, and so I think that we are worthy of each other s love. What do you th nk’ ( Pleaae excuse me for bothering you and also for my poorly constructed letter Manv thanks JUST IN LOVE. Your letter sounds so sensible that I think you do not need nty advice 1 do Indeed approve of your waiting two years before planning to get mar ried. (I would suggest three or four.) The difference In age between you is -- ■ ■ ■ mot enough to mention. As for the difference in your religion, that is more ser.ous. Hut most religions are better than the people who quarrel oxer them. If you are both truly kind, tolerant and a* good as your re ligions. the matter ought to cause you no trouble. A frank talk and thorough understanding its to ea< h other's religious rights ought to be had before marriage_^___ Hirlli AnnouneercenU. Mr. anil Mr*.
