Marion's Emotions Become a Bit En
tangled.
For the second time within 10
minutes I found myself unable to
answer promptly a question pro
pounded to me by Marlon Morton,
IJlllan Underwood's adorable young
daughter. But there was a vast dif
ference between the queries In their
effect upon me. In telling Marlon
that I did not know whether her
mother would find happiness In
marrying Robert Savarln, I had ex
perienced no emotional reaction save
disappointment that I could not give
her a definite answer. But her query
as to which I loved better, Dicky or
Junior, shook me to my very soul.
Glibly I had told Marlon that
"There’s something wrong with the
mother who doesn't love her chil
dren best of all the world.” I had
believed my own statement, too, un
til the child’s pussled question, mak
ing concrete application of my the
ory, tore open the secret places of
my heart ns an explosive blast might
have done.
What I found there astounded me.
Ever since I felt the flrst/dutch of
my baby's clinging fingers, I have
lived for him, put his comforts, his
demands before those of any one
else, and, rejoicing in Dicky's devo
tlon to his small Son. I have ar
P^^^. ranged my household gods In the
order sponsored by so many women
—children first, parents f decided
second.
But something more powerful then
even |ove of children-—something
primitive, savage—leaped In my
heart at Marlon's probing and found
voice upon my lips.
"Dicky Is My Mate"
"Dicky Is my man, my mate,” 1
found myself murmuring insistently.
"There can be no one dearer to me
(than he.”
Then, as I saw Marlon's wide won
dering eyes upon me, I pulled my
self together sharply—thankful that
the words had been but a murmur,

and that aha could not possibly have
distinguished them.
One thing I saw clearly. Having
just told h"r that mothers loved their
children better than anyone else,
thus assuring her of her supremacy
in her mother's affections, I could
not reveal to her the truth about my
own feeling which I just had discov
ered. There was but one thing to do,
and I did It promptly.
"Of course I love Junior best of
all the world,” I said, salving my
conscience with the additional re
mark, “ but that’s very hard to tell.
Marlon, when I love two people as
much as I do your Uncle Dinky and
Junior. You see It's different with
your mother. If Uncle Robert was
your really truly father, she might
have a hard time telling also, but
las It Is, of course you come absolute
I iy first.”
Tho contented look on her face
deepened.
"I'm glad Junior comes first, too,”
she said, and then shs rose from her
chair and hugged me Impetuously.
"Next to my mother, you're the
nicest woman In the whole world.”
she said, "Now, don't you think I'd
better bring Junior In here to plliy?
I’m afraid hs may tlrs Grandma
Graham.”
I kissed her appreciatively.
"You're as thoughtful as your
mother, Marlon,” I said, and her
eyes were starry with pleasure.
"That's the very nicest compli
ment I could have, and then she
sp«-d awsy to my mother-in-law's
room. I followed close at her heels,
finding Mother Graham flushed pnd
tired, while Junior perched upon her
feet was pretending that the bed was
an automobile and he was the driver.
I transferred him to Marlon’s care
without ceremony, then shook up my
mother In-law’s pillows, bathed her
face and hands and pulled down the
window curtains.
"I prescribe a nap,” I said gaily.
"I'm afraid Junior ha* tired you
out.”
"Richard Second could never tire
me," she declared, fatuously, "but
I am a little tired from the excite
merit of the night nnd morning. Tell
me, did you pet, that $100 yet?”
"I'll Go Tomorrow.”
"Why, no. Mother!” T replied, won
dering at her forgetfulness, "Today
Is Sunday. The bank Isn't open. I'll
go tomorrow.” *
She slnred at me Incredulously.
"Sunday! You're crazy. This Is
Monday. Tomorrow's Tuesday.
It was my turn to stare. From
what had she evolved this prepostep.

Dear Mis* Allen: About two years
ago I was married, and after living
with my husband a few months was
divorced. A year! ago the 18th of No
vember X was married again. Then
my first husband caused me some
trouble about my divorce and the law
said that my last husband and I had
to part until January while I went
through another divorce case. When
my second husband and I parted he
toid me I was single and to enjoy
myself until the time came for us to
he married again. A few nights ago
I went to a dance with a couple of
girl friends and he did not like it.
I was not with a fellow, as I expect
to marry him again. The next morn
ing he came to the house and would
not speak to me. He left without say
In* goodby or when he would be back.
I thought he would leave town, and
bo I have loooked all over town for
him and have failed to find him.
Would you advise me to wait for him
and to marry him when he does come
hack? Would you advise me to marry
any one so jealous? I love the man
and I know that he loves me.
BROKEN-HEARTED WOMAN.
The man you married last will al
ways have to face the fact that you
gave up your first husband for him,
and therefor* Jealousy on his part
will not be sntlrely without warrant.
If he comes back, and he probably
will since he loves you, be tactful and
kind so that his jealous fits will not
be provoked and Intensified. Under
the circumstances It was hardly wise
to attend the dance even In the com
pany of girls.
Ixtve at Thirteen.
Dear Miss Allen: I am a girl of
13. For two years I have cared very
much for a boy four years my senior.
He does not like girls older than I.
He does not know that I care so much
for him. At first we played together
like children, but things have chang
ed. I care for him more than as a
friend now. I am nearly sure that
he cares for me because when he Is
around me he acts like It. Can you
advise me how to find out If he cares
for me or not? Also tell me what
to do to let him know that I care for
him. WAITING.
You will have to judge how much
(he young man cares for you by his
actions. Both you and he are too
young to talk of love and marriage.
Do not try to make him tell you that
he cares, and by no means confess
your love for him. It Is enough to let
him know you value him as a friend.
Dear Martha Allen: I am a girl of
17 and have been going with a hoy
one year my senior. About a month
ago we had a quarrel and I thought
I would give- him the privilege of
never coming back, and so I returned
his letters. Now I am sorry I did
so and he also acts differently. Is It
my place to make up? If so, should
I write or speak to him. SORRY.
Do not make up with an apology.
Simply speak as If nothing had hap
[Miss Information]
pened when you meet, and ff he i*
ready to be friendly again he will re
spond to you. After a few friendly
meetings you wrill doubtless find your
self on your former footing.__
