My Heart and . My Husband
Adele Garrison's New Phase of r.V N
Revelations
Why Madge Strove tot Cheer Mrs.
Durkee.
"Rita Brown!"
I repeated the name in amazement,
all the' laughter at little Mrs.
Durkee's absurdities stricken from
me.
My ' friend nodded her' head
emr hatically. v
"I thought that would make you
sit up and take notice," she said
gleefully. "But," she added with a
touch of malice which fox all her
good nature seme times cfeeps into
her conversation, "you ought to be
glad she's got her claws sharpened
for Alfred."
I ignored the allusion to the
uneasiness which Dickey's accept
ance of Rita Brown's studio had
caused me, an uneasiness I knew my
little friend had suspected, although
she didn't know of Lillian's arraign
ment of the girl to me, or vof her
anxiety that Dicky,should not work
in -Miss Brown's studio. ' - -A
Great Relief.
Lillian had made good her prom
ise to offer Dicky her own studio,
an offer which Dicky had promptly
and gratefully accepted, though with
wid-eyed amazement,' for Lillian'
had always held her studio as
inviola'te s an English college man
does his study hour. But indeed,
slie has not used it at all in the last
weeks, having put aside all work but
the most- pressisg in order to watch
beside Robert Savarin's sick bed.
The work she was compelled to do
she wrought at in her own library.
I knew Lillian would share ' the
distinct feeling of relief I exper
ienced hearing Mrs. Durkee's
announcement that her son, Alfred,
Land Rita Brown were interested in
each other. ly little neighbor was
right. I was glad to know that girl,
whu I had seen but once) Jjut whom
I instinctively disliked , "had her
claws sharpened" for anybody but
Dicky. .
I did not care, however, to have
Mrs. Durkee suspect my relief.
"Let me see," I said, counting on
my fingers with no hint that I had
understood her allusion to. my un
easiness concerning Rita J$rown
"thi, is the first, second, third, fourth,
fifth it's no use,. I can't cdunt or
remember the. girls' whose names
you Jiavx brought to me with the
firm conviction thfct they were to be
daughters-in-law of yours. What a
harem poor Alf would have had if
all your doleful predictions had come
true.. He would either be in Turkey
,or in .state's prison for bigamy."
Alfred Durkee's Request
"I know;" she admitted, though her
tone was obstinate, "but it would
come some day, And when I think
of this Rita Brown getting her
clutches on my boy I wish he'd
married any one of the others I
used to dread "
" "No you don't!" I said comfort
ingly, although in reality I admitted
the truth of her words. I could
imagine few women more unsuited
to Alfred Durkee than Rita Br-dwn.
I , may misjudge the girl, but I
believe the words wifehood, mother
hood, nieaan frothing real or sacred
to "her. and -Alfred Durkee, though
apparently of as volatile a, tempera
ment as Dicky, yet is a wholesome
'kd, whose ideal of a wife would be
the idolized mother of fiis children.
I tried to visualize Rita Brown as
a inother, but gave it up with a Jittle
shiver at the . probable unhappiuess
of any child who should ever call
her by Jiat sacred name, and turned
to Mrs.lDurkee.
"Vouaiaven't told me yet what
ha led you to fear Rita Brown," I
said "She'1 isn't a new acouaint
ancc of'Alf's, is she? They must
have known each other for a long
time."
"They have, casually," Alfred's
mcthe returned, but it's onlysince
Alf's return that they have been
thrown together - much. It seems
Alf cast some work in .er way
she s terribly clever, you know and
t.htn she was taken ill, couldn't fin
ish it. and hehad to gosee her about
it. Vou know what a tender-heatted
softy Alf is about anybody sick "or in
trouble. I imagine he's been buy
ing out the flower and fruit stores
ever since and now he wanats me
to invite that girl and the two Fair
faxes, her chums, down here for a
week or two; says the country air
wiil be so good for Rita.
"If yiu can beat ttiaT I'd like to
have you try!" "
Why Mrs. Durkee Said "It's Worth
, Trying, Anyway."
I'll 'Ijave to admit .that -Alfred's
proposition i a difficult one," 1 said
slowly. "It's going to be very hard
on you, isn't it? The , entertain
ment si three girls, one of them a
convalescent, for ,a week ,or twb
will entail a good deal of' work I'm
afraid." ..'(
"That's not what's worrying me,"
I'ttle Mrs. Durkee rejoined. . "I'm
not afraid of worjBt to have that
girl la-je-dsr-tng "around Alfred I
just can't stand it! If it were only
one of the Fairfax gfrls, althougii
goodness knows they're nothing to
boast of" -
"Why. Mrs. Durkee!" I inter
rupted, "surely Edith Fairfax is de
cidedly something to boast of. A

decorated for bravery under fire is
distinctly worth while.".
"Fiddlesticks!" my little friend
said explosively. "Of course she's
brave and all that, but you know
she 'didn't cross the ocean just to
serve he country, although I won't
cay that wasn't pafl of her reason,"
she aamitted relucantly. "But I
should think you of all people
wouldn't care' to have that gang
gaflgihg around here for a week or
two. If Alf spends all the time he
can steal from his office at h.ome
you'll see Dicky will.be doing the
same thing, and then what will you
say?"
What Madge Advised. .
.There were several things in this
speech which I resented hotly. One
of the tenets held most strongly by
my little niQther, and which she in
culcated in me so religiously that
I've never forgotten it, is that dis
cussing one's husband with others
i. one of the unpardonable social
sins. '
x With Lillian, :old friend of Dicky,
and wonderful substitute for the sis
ter I never had, I have been com
pelled to talk sometimes of the
problems confronting nre. But Lil
lian is the embodiment of tact and
discretion. She never x either asks
or, insinuates an unnecessary ques
tion. On the Contrary, little Mrs.
Durkee, dear and sweet as Vie is,
has a faint streak of malicious
curiosity in her makeup, a charac
teristic that annoys, me, exceedingly,
although I'm compelled to overlook
it on account of her many splendid
qualities.
But I could not kee"p a certain
coldness out of my voice as I re
plied. .
"You are mistaken," I said quietly.
"It is. absolutely immaterial to me
whether they come here or not. But
if I were in your place, and were as
worried about Alfred as you are, I
would waste no time in penning the
most cordial invitation I could frame
to Rita Brown."
My little neighbor stared at me in
wide-eyed amazement. v
"Weill" she ejaculated. "I'd like
to know what you mean by that? I
may have to have the girl here, and
to treat her with civility, but that's
all Alfred can expect of me. I think
1 see myself writing anything more
ihan a courteous formal note to her.
If she. has an atom of delicacy she'll
see through the lines ind decline it."
Tests of Dfplomacy.
"Yes," I retorted, "and be very
sure she'll contrive in some manner
fo let Alfred conjecture why she did
it she's far too clever to tell him
outright and, then your son, while
he may not show ft, will be resent
ful toward you and sympathetic to
ward her,' and you ought to know
that it's a dangerous situation when
a man begins to champion a girl
against his mother."
"T suppose so," little Mrs. Durkee
replied, wearily tmconvinced. "But I
should think anything would be bet
ter than having that awful girl in
the same hQuse with Alf for a week
or two. Propinquity, you know."
. "Yes, I know,"! retorted. "But I
also know that it has brbken up as
many matrimonial engagements as it
has fostered. Just stop and think
a moment, mjTriend. You know
what surroundings have always been
Rita Brown's. She is an artificial
studio product, with the city a part
of hfer very blood and bone. What
ever glamor sh may have for Ai
red in enhanced by her surroundings
into which she fits perfectly, like a
bizarre picture in a striking frame.
BuV take her out of thsft frame, ppt
her out here in the country, which
Alfred adores, and see how tawdry
ad common she wiil appear.
"Depend upon it, fciy dear, if Al
fred has any attraction in her direc
tion which.by the way, I don't be
lieve at all, I think it is just his
natural goodness of heart that is
responsible, for the invitation it will
be effectually killed by the girl her
self before the week is over."
Little Mrs. Durkee looked at me
with eyes inwhich I saw dawning
comprehension.
"It's worth trying, anyway," she
said decidedly.

Brandeis stores, and-Tagle of, the
Burgess-Nash company, over $1,000
worth of merchandise has been re

"We will arrest at least six more
young girls who are operating in
Omaha stores," said Tagle, "as the
situation has become alarming. The
girls have friends who are not em
ployed in the store to whom they
are able to sliD Voods with little
.danger Of detection. This method
of .stealing is the most dimcult to
combat."
Councfl Postpones
Plan to' Replace Gas
Lamps With Electric
.
The city council committee of the
whole yesterday voted to postpone
proposed replacement of 775 gas
street lanins with arc lamos. In view
of the prospective acquirement of the
gas plant by the city, Mayor Smith
deemed it to be inadvisable to take
action on this matter now.
"These gas street lamps are an
tiquated and expensive. They are
costing the city $32 to $35 per lamp
per year," said Commissioner Zim
man, who offered the resolution.
There are 775 gas lamps now in
service. They cost $22 per lamp
last vear for maintenance in addition
to $10,000 paid to the Omaha Gas
Co. We may get a better electric
light at less expense."
"Personally I favor the electric
light. The gas light is a joke," said
Mayor Smith. "But in view of the
gas plant appraisal proceedings, I
do not think we should take action
at this time."
Twenty-five Speeders
Are Arraigned Before

Twenty-five speeders were ar
raigned before Judge Holmes in po

Rumors Fly Thick and Fast
at City Hall; Suppressed
Air of Excitement
Is Felt.
-V-
Rumors were flying thick ttnd fastv
yesterday afternoon In the city hall
that City Commissioner Zimman
would be transferred from his pres
ent place as superintendent of the
fire department to the superinten
dency of the police department, to
succeed Commissioner Ringer.
Whatever foundation there may
be for the rumors the commission
ers themselves would not confirm
thexn. It is believed, that Zimman
would at least be supported by
Commissioners Butler and talconef
in this matter and one more vote oi
the council would suffice to put it
over. If the necessary fourth vote
exists it cannot be pinned down at
this time.
.."There is something doing in, tin1
city hall, at any rate," is the way a
careful observer expresed it yester
day. Asked tor folice uepartment.
When the new administration
went in a year ago last month Mr.
Zimman asked during the? organiza
tion oT departments for the police
department. The mayor and Com
missioners Ringer, Towl and Ure
