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.

[ Your Problems |
Religions Better Than People Who
Quarrel Over Them.
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_^___

Coke
i
In the manufacture of Milwaukee
Solvay Coke, “The Fuel without a
fault,” coal which is partly treated by
Nature’s process is used (commonly
called soft coal) and great heat is
substituted for Nature’s pressure, and
in from 16 to 24 hours the gas and oil
is driven off, leaving a hard mass of
practically pure carbon—the “heat”
element.
Milwaukee Solvay Coke contains
none of the undesirable features of
ordinary coal. It is practically ash
less; no rock, slate or bone; no smoke
and no soot.
The price of Milwaukee Solvay Coke
is the lowest quoted in years. Order
a ton today and qpjoy complete fuel
satisfaction at a remarkably low
price.

THE SCENIC RESTFUL ROUTE
——— _it—w _
On the shoulders of Mrs. Fred
Loomis as chairman of the executive
board for the bazar held Thursday and
today by the First Central Con
gregational church, falls the brunt of
direction of the affair.
In this congregation, one of the
most fashionable which the city
boasts a bazar not only implies a
host of unusual Christmas gift offer
ings, but a turkey "dinner served in
the most attractive and ample style,
luncheons and teas.
The dinner was served last night
and luncheons and teas, held Thurs
day, continue today.
Mrs. Loomis says that tea, sent di
rect from the Congregational mission
in China where It was raised and
packed, is proving one of the most
popular gifts.
Vnusual cream and carmine
lacquered buttons brought here from
India by Mrs. C. N. Dietz' sister, are
also sought after art.cles, for they are
just the bright touch needed on one's
dark silk and woolen gowns.

He thought he knew his daughter...but he learned differently!
Does the “freedom of youth" mean all that this girl seems to think
it does?
“I trust my daughter implicitly, but can she trust herself under
present conditions, with high-spirited boys 18 and 19 years old,"
asks this worried father. For the answer Smart Set Magazine
has gone to the flapper herself... who left a good home and can
never go back. She tells frankly the biggest mistakes she has
