HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife How Madge Contrived to Manage Katie. I am afraid I started as helplessly at Katie as the most inexperienced eirl housewife could have done when she turned upon me in unreasoning fury. at my proposal that she take a vacation ana pretend to my mother-in-law that she was not coming back. , , In my intense weariness at Mother Graham's constant gibes at the girl I had planned to play a ruse upon Dicky's captious mower-to fright en her into a realization of what life would be without the help of our volatile, garrulous but efficient little maid. I had succeeded in my purpose. My mother-in-law had been most fratifyingly startled, but my shot ad proved a boomerang indeed. It was I who now faced the problem of letting Katie leave or calming her temper instantly. I knew her-tempestuous nature sufficiently to real ize that if he once let herself go the would no doubt say things that would make it well nigh impossible tor us to continue in the relation cf mistress and maid. ' With a feeling that it was my last resort I went up to the girl, put my hands upon her shoulders with the old half-stern, half affectionate manner which I have many times found effective with her, and said kindly yet with firmness: "Katie, you little goose, look at mel Nobody wants you to leave here. 1 would like to keep you and Jjm all my life. But you desire a vacation, and there is a reason why I want Mother Graham to think you aren't coming back. But I want you back in six weeks. Don't vou understand me, you foolish girl?" - Hysterical Laughter. Katie had been twisting and turn ing in my grasp, her head held sul lenly down as if she were determ ined not to meet my eyes. I knew, however, that she was listening to what I was saying. Yet I held my breath as I finished, wondering mis erably what the outcome would be. Several years' experience of Katie's moods has taught me ft) be prepared for anything. Therefore I was not surprised to feel her relax limply in my grasp, and the next minute hear her laugh with a glee equal in in tensity to her fury of the moment '''"Hal Hal Hal" I guesed she was 'almost hysterical in her relief. "I see now vot you get at You vant to play vun joke on old vomans. I bet you she alvays say 'Vy you no get rid of dot Katie? She vun bunch of soup greens?' Oh, I used to feel 'bad from dot, but I know better now, poor old vomans." I was almost malicious enough to wish my martinet mother-in-law could hear the' superb magnaminity in Katie s voice, and you think ven you get chance you joost slam her -vun in slats, make her sit oop and i... ...... k; :. : uac lici ut;aii iuii itcuig ant i nt Is Madge Mistaken? Mv mental reactions upon listen ingto this atrocious vulgar jumble of what Katie fondly supposed to be the- latest thing in American slang, the hall-mark of her graduation from alien speech, gave me distinct 'food for thought when I had left the kitchen, leaving a radiant Katie behind. , I can remember the time when I would have felt only disgust and anger at her little speech, and would have sternly reproved her for it. Now,the only emotion I experienced was a desire to get away trom the girl as quickly as possible for fear that the laughter I was heroically trying to repress would escape, and either mortally offend her or give her an idea of herself as a humor ist. , Had I deteriorated from the stand ards I ' had held during my early married life or had I smply become more human? The question lingered with me after I had said lamely enough to Katie: "Yes, it is a joke, Katie. Please do as I ask," and had received her joyous familiar promise: "All ricrVit.' fpci5 Hr;itiam. T u .... o - - - - ' . , rfeex." A glance at my wrist watch told me that if I wished to catch the tram 1 hail promised Lillian to take I could indulge in no runner in trospection and retrospection. So I promptly shelved the matter of my dimimshina; ideals, hurried through the last touches of the careful toilet I always make for a trip to the city, and made my train with .only a few gaspipg seconds td-spare. I hate to hurry. It upsets both my nerves and my dignity. The con sciousness that I was flushed, that my hair was disarranged, that the passengers had gazed atmy breath less entrance with varying degrees of amusement made me uncomfort able all through the hour's journey. It was only when I alighted from the train that I recovered my poise. As I walked up the stairs to the I, mm "Butterfly" Coiffure The new coiffure, the "butterfly," makes one wonder sometimes if the old-fashioned "rat," which used to bolster up the "puffs" of a bygone head-dress, are coming into style again. To make the butterfly, brush the front and sides of the hair over the face, then take the remaining back hair and comb it up and with it make a fiat knot on the crown of the head, pinning it securely. Don't twist it or you will make ridges. Now brush the front hair back off the forehead, and the knot from the back hair you will find serving as the padding for the high raised ef fect at the crown. Secure this front hair at nape of neck with strong pins. Now take sides and roll the hair the reverse of the way you roll it for puffs and pin down into shape to suit your face and in nice pro portion to the puffed up crown. Ar range the hair softly on the fore head after you have the rest done up rf you cannot stand the straight back. Just a deft pull or two over one eye or the other or both. Then a net to keep everything -in nice or der under it , line of waiting taxis, I caught just a glimpse of a woman's figure en tering a limousine on the other side of the driveway. , Her face was turned from me, but something in the graocfull lines of her figure and the way in which she managed her entrance turned me fairly faint. For though I knew that she was an occupant of a prison, that I must be mistaken, the image of Grace Draper flashed in memory before my eyes.
