Marlon la Worried About Her
Mother’s Predicament.
It was not until I had entered the
room where I had left the children
that I realised I had not yet told
Marlon of her mother's letter and
her expected homecoming. I put my
hand into my pocket to get It, but
took It out again at Katie's knock
and her entrance bearing the hot
milk which she had prepared for the
children.
I must have come up the stairs
slowly, Indeed, I told myself with a
shamefaced little flush at the Jealous
misgivings toward Dicky and Edith
Fairfax which had made me linger
along the way unhappily lost In spec
ulation as to the meaning of the con
versation between them which I in
advertently had overheard.
“Here your hot milk, kids,’’ Katie
sang out, and for the thousandth
time I made the resolve to compel
my little maid's adherence to more
conventional salutations. But, as al
ways, I postponed the lecture to some
more conventional season, for I knew
that I should hurt her feelings griev
ously If I corrected her while she was
engaged In loving enthusiastic serv
ice for us.
“Und here." she went on, turning
beamingly to me, “is surprise, sur
prise for my Meesis Graham, best
boss poor girl ever had.”
She whisked the cover from a dish
upon the tray displaying the most
delicately browned waffles I ever had
seen, even of Katie’s making, and she
la a past mistress of that branch of
the culinary art.
"Oh, how appetising, Katie!" I ex
claimed with genuine pleasure and
she smiled broadly at the compli
ment.
"Here’s Tour Wish, Sweetheart.”
"Dey de cat's vlskers, eef I do say
eet myself,” she giggled, “und here
ees butter und maple sirup. You eat
qveeck now, so eet not get cold.”
"I’ll do that,” I promised, "but
when she had left the room I locked
the door and proceeded to feed Marlon
and Junior the toothsome delicacies,
for I found that I was unable to do
more than taste them. If the col
loquy I had overheard had done noth
ing else, it had effectually robbed me
of all appetite for food,
Marion started to protest, but 1
shook my hear wamlngly at her, and
with her conscience cleared, she aid
ed Junior to make short work of
Katie’s culinary triumph.
"Now, if you’ll wash Junior’s
hands, Marion,” I directed, when
they had disposed of the last crumb,
“I’ll take him in to stay with his
grandmother awhile. But I want you
to stay here. "I have something to
tell you.”
I saw her eyese flash with gleeful
anticipation. Characteristically, how
ever, she said nothing, but went di
rectly at the task I had given her.
And when X returned from depositing
Junior on his grandmother’s bed, to
his delight and hers, I found that
Marlon had made everything tidy
again in the room and plied the dishes
neatly on the tray for its downstairs
trip.
Sit down dear,” I said as I en
tered the room, ’’and make three
wishes. Perhaps I can grant you one
of them, if you happen to hit upon
the right one.”
"I only have one wish, Auntie
Madge,” she said with pretty earnest
ness, “but I can say that three times.
I want to see my mother. I want to
see my mother. I want to see my
mother.”
I wished IJliian could have seen
her as Rhe littered the words, her
face glowing wiih love, wistful with
longing. With a swift movement, I
stooped and kissed her, drawing the
letter from my pocket as I did so.
“Here’s your wish, sweetheart,” 1,
said, handing it to her. "Read It.”
She flung her arms about my neck
with pretty enthusiasm.
“Oh! you darling fairy godmother!"
she exclaimed and then hurried
through the letter, crushing It In her
hands and kissing it tenderly when
she had finished,
“Wednesday, at 2 o’clock,” she mur
mured, “at the Grand Central, and
It's Sunday today. Three whole
days. Auntie Madge, how can I ever
stand it?”
I smiled at her suddenly clouded
eyes.
“How have you stood It all these
weeks?” I asked, for Lillian had
been away almost a month.
“I just gritted my teeth and made
myself not think about it,” she an
swered naively, “because Mother
asked me not to fret. But now that
I know she’s coming home so soon,
why 1—I—feel as if I could jump
rigjit out of my skin. But I’ll be
good, honest I will, Auntie Madge,
and I’ll try my best not to fret. At
least if I do, I'll go off by myself!”
"You'll do no such thing," I as
sured her. “If you have to fret,
you’ll do It right In my arms.”
She flung her arms around me and
kissed me warmly, then stepped back
and regarded me soberly.
“I wonder,” she said with a sud
den little air of womanliness, “if you
would advise me about Mother. I’m
awfully worried about her and-Uncle
Robert Savarin.”

Keeping Her Friend*.
My Dear Miss Alien: I have known
two young men for some time, one a*
a sweetheart, the other a* a very
good friend. My sweetheart has re
turned to college for his senior year
and has been gone two weeks from
the city. During this time the other
young man has been paying me atten
The question is: Shall T write and
tell my sweetheart of his friend’s
visits? If I do. I’m afraid they will
quarrel. On the other hand, if I
don't tell and he hears of it, perhaps
he will think badly of me. I can’t
give up either friendship. VKRA.
Unless you are engaged to the young
man who is away—and from your let
ter I judge that you are not—keep
both young men as friends,
tion and has become quite serious.
The young man at college has not
the slightes' ground for a quarrel. So
do not allow yourself to be dominated
nor sacrifice any worth while friend
ship. When you become engaged It
will be time enough to limit your
companionship to one young men.
Do not try to conceel your friend
ship with the young man at home
from the young man at college. There
is no reason why you should.
Puzzled: Payment for anytblni
should be on the basis of service ren
dered. Without knowing what you
are doing for the child, I could hardly
advise the price to charge. If she is
in good health and requires no more
attention than the average child of
her age, |5 a week might, cover the
actual expense of her room, board
and laundry. If you dress her, of
course that amount should be added,
and If you are really being paid any
thing for your care of her, that, too,
should be extra. If the people who
have given her to you cannot afford
to pay much, you. should take her for
actual cost, and feel you are doing a
great service in making a home foi
the child.
