12 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1920. HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife t Lillian Suggested to Madge and Threatened to Do Heracli. '" Mf father was patiently preoccu pied during the trip to th city, and t 1 was in no mood for talking the Journey was a silent ore. I had not iked him what he bad told Lillian Aver the telephone, nor had h vol unteered any information to me, but When she met us at ber door I saw ft quick look of intelligence pass be tween them and surmised that thiy had discussed the question pretty thoroughly. . "I am not going to stand on cere mony," Lillian announced. "I know this child js dying to talk to me. Mr. Gordon pardon! I never can call you Spencer if I live a million years, to if you'll make yourself comforta ble with a cigar and a book in the library you know the way or shall I send Marion up to entertain you?" ' Marion, by all means," my father imiled ,and as if the words had been a signal, the child dashed out of her rose-colored room and rushed first into my arms and then into my fath er's in her pretty, impetuous way. "Mother said I might come out ff I heard you say you'd like to have me, she said apologetically, and then with a mischievous upward look at him she added slyly, "But I was just shaking in my shoes for fear I'd have .to stay there all the evening." Left Alone. ' "Yes, you ought to have been ter rified." my father interposed with an affectation of sternness, his eyes dancing with the delight which the child's quick wit and bright non aense always bring to him. "When I remember what you did to me the last time I was here " "Suppose you thrash that out up tfirs." Lillian interposi-d, smiling, and Marion at once danced away obediently, calling bagk over her ahouldcr: "Just so he doesn't thrash me, mother, dear." : My father followed her up the Stairs, pausing only long enough to ay quietly: You will let me know the resuty fyour conference, later, of course." "Surely," Lillian agreed heartily, but as he turned to go upstairs I saw her look after him with sur prise, even perplexity in her eyes? But she made' no comment then, and the next moment she had drawn me into the rose-hued bedroom, closed the door, and was lifting off my hat and putting me into a chair with the warm welcome which makes a visit to her so delightful. The tea wagon from -her living room was drawn up before the fire, and I saw that the cup of tea which with Lil lian fa the prelude to work or dis cussion was not to be absent, i "Marion is serving your father in the library," she said smiling. 1 Madge Ii Determined. "Using the Christmas outfit, I appose, " I said with an "answering mile. We both remembered the child' wild joy when Christmas had brought her dearest wish, a minia ture tea wagon, with every appoint ment like her mother's. "ChrUtening it in one way," Lil lian returned, "for, of course, she Kai only been atlowed to serve cam ,brin tea or cocoa to her small friends. But she has practiced on me until she knowa how to make a fairly creditable cup of tea, and to night she is in the seventh heaven at being allowed to serve a real brew to your father." Her face Was illumined with the pride and joy she has in the child restored to her after so many years of absence, and as she turned away to admit Betty with a plate of the hot scones which Jhe oM cook makes to perfection I breathed a little silent pr5y that nothing would .happen to ma? the perfect happiness which the faother and child find in each other. "Now, my dear," Lillian spoke briskly when we had discussed the tea and scdnes, "what is this non sense I hear about the Dicky-bird?" I explained briefly, but giving her all the conversation I had had with Dicky. From long experience I know that she wishes every word, almost every inflection when she is discussing a problem. And I was surprised to hear her laugh as I fin ished. "If that isn't the Dicky-bird all over," she said. "The little fact that the lady has tried to kill him twice, and that she'll be twice as venomous now as she was before seems to have been entirely elim inated from his consciousness. But, tell me, did you ever tell him about her tryine to drag you down that day into the bay? No, you dear little Miss Puritan Conscience, I can see you haven't. Well, thank the stars, mine is more elastic. I II nut a spoke in that particular wheel be fore-" No, J.illian, I hear mvsclt say ing firmly, and wondered at my, own determination. "If Dicky isn't afraid for himself I won't let him be afraid for me." (Continued Monday.) For Boys and Girls JVhat Shall I Be? Answered for Girls 1 Florist. CAROLINE M. WEIRICH. Helen and Zelda were ambitious Junior High girls, each eager to de cide what they should do when grown up. Zelda was not cut out to be a teacher nor did she like the idea of being confined in an office. What she cared tor most was the growing of flowers, cutting and ar ranging them in artistic fashion. In the spring, there were always funny little mounds of dust around the house and in the middle of her fa ther's neat lawn a pile of dirt re vealed that Zelda was experiment ing with some new variety of seed "Father says I may take a course What Shall I Be? Answered ft Boy I'M THE GUY 1 I'M THE GUY who brags about what everything costs him. What's the use of spending good money and not letting everybody know it? I want my friends to know how much I pay for my clothes because I know most of 'em can't pay as much and it makes 'em envy me. it proves that I have the money to spend and am not afraid to loosen up with it. If I spend money showing some one a good time I want them to know how much, so they'll appre ciate every dime of it. I'm willing to spend, but I want credit for it. What would be the use of buying the best if I was the only one to know it? Or in giving anything to charity if I couldn't, advertise it? No use, from my point of view. Just so much money wasted.

"I can get a splendid idea of the work in one year, though I ought to take two. After I finish, I shall get some practical experience in one of the best florist houses I can find. Father says that after I have my experience and prove that I know something about plant growing and selling, he will start nje in business. Of course, as he says, it takes executive ability to run any kind of an establish ment." There are just three ways to start in he flower business; as owner or manager for a producing house, as manager of a retail store, or as an employee. Work in a greenhouse is tiring and trying. The atmosphere must be kept moist and at a certain tem perature. Some girls, however, have made notable successes in green house work. The bet opportunity for an employe is in a retail store. Girls have a natural taste and cus tomers find them willing to please. Others show skill in making floral designs, which are always in de mand. The retail store requires consider able capital. Show windows must be attractive, plenty of ice-boxes are needed, and the interior must be ar tisticl and pretty. . Because of the perishable nature of the goods, a large margin is needed to replace any loss that may arise. Girls and women will make a success at this kind of work, if they know enough about plant growing, show perse verance and possess executive abil ity. (Monday The Secret World.) Oil Expert. FRANCIS ROLT-WHEELER. Now that oil has become an es sential " in industry, especially throuch the use of gasoline for automobiles, trucks and tractors, the need for the oil expert grows apace. Moreover, owing to the reports that millions of dollars have been made in oil, many people have bought prospects without the faintest knowledge as to how they should be developed. There is, therefore, a big demand for the man who un derstands not only the exploiting of the oil fields, but also the processes of refining and preparing for the market. Being an industry in the process ot developing, moreover, important discoveries are being made every day in the use of the by-products. Probably nowhere today can the ex pert so readily establish himself, and in no other industry has he so good en opportunity ot gceting a valua ble property for himself. The practical side of oil exploita tion is comparatively simple, a fel low can learn the most important part of it in a- month.. But' when it comes to an understanding of oil, when it comes to knowing just what viscosity will make good lubricatnig oil for different purposes.or what high point is the best for internal combustion engines, when it comes, indeed, to really knowing" what oil is, anyhow, then good chemical and physical knowledge is demanded. The United States Geological Sur vey and the Dominion Survey have announced that there are hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil locked up in the shale of the western states and provinces. They await an expert who can invent or improve a process to get the oil out of those rocks at a price commercially profit able. This is the oil age, and the oil expert is in greater demand than ever. Monday: The Legs of Snakea. WHY?- Does $ Stand for "Dollars"? opyrlght, 1S20, by the Wheeler Syndi cate, Inc.) , The usual explanation of the "dollar mark'.' is that it watt formed from the letters "U. 'S.", originally used in connection with American currency and gradual ly, through haste, joined to gether so that the "U" overlapped the "S" and lost the curved con necting stroke at the bottom. Others maintain that the mark is a corruption of -the figures 8-8, meaning a piece of eight "reals", the dollar being formerly called a "piece of eight" an ex pression which occurs frequently in early colonial literature; and lore.1. '. - As a matter of fact, however, the dollar-mark has a' history which goes back to the days of Tyre, when pillars were used as symbols of strength and solid ity. The coins of Tyre bore two pillars, later known, as the city gained additional power and fame under the name of Cadiz, as "the pillars of HercUles." The influence of these, pillars is clear ly traceable in the early Italian and Spanish currency, Charles V., emperor of Germany and king of Spain, using them on the piastre coined at Seville, a piece of money commonly called a "colonnato" or "pillar piece." Ai this time, however, the pillars were entwined by a decorative scroll, later modified to a single curved line which was practically, the equivalent of the letter "s." The I'dollar", therefor is of both Spanish and Teutonic derivation takintr its name from the Ger man "thaler and its symbol from the coinage of ancient Tyre and Seville.

"There weren't any women para gons, were there?" asked Taro. "Oh, yes,"' said the. Mother. "Once there was a young girl who loved her father dearly, and honored him above everything n the world, as a child should. Once she and her father were in a jungle; and a tiger attacked them. The young girl threw herself upon the tiger and clung to his jaws so that her father could escape." "Did the tiger eat her up?" said Taro. "I suppose he did," the Mother answered. "Was it very noble of her to be eaten up so her father could get away?" Take asked. "Oh, very noble!" sa'd the Motner. "Well, then," said Take, "was it j wy W - T- - very noble of the father to run away and let her stay and be eaten up?" "The lives of women are not worth so much as those of men," her Mother answered. Take bounced on her cushion. "I don't see how she could honor a man who was so mean," she said. Take's mother held up her nands. She was shocked. "Why, Takel" she said. "The man was hef fathet I" "Tell us another," said Taro. "Please, honored Mother, don't tell me about any more Paragons," said Take. Her Mother was still more shocked. "Why, little daughter" she said, "don't you want to hear about the Paragon that lay down on the cold. cold ice to warm a hole in it with his body so he could catch some ish for his cruel stepmother to eat?" No, if you please, dear Mother, said Take, "because all the Paragons had such horrid parents." "My dear little girl, the Mother said, you must not say such dread ful things! We must honor and obey our parents, no matter what kind of persons they are." "Well," said lake, "we love na honor you and our Father you are so good and kind." She put her hands on the matting in front of her, and bowed to the floor before her Mother. Taro saw Take do this, and he wanted to be just as, polite as she was; ao he rolled over on his cushion and bowed to the floor, too. Now. tell us about the "Lucky Tea Kettle," begged Take. Their Mower bepniync upon But just as she got as far as that they heard a little sound from Bot' Chau's cushion in the corner, and liic covers Degan to wiggle. "There's Bot'Ci.an awake," said the Mother. "I must take care of him now. Ihe 'Lucky Tea Kettle' must wait until another time." And just at that minute bright spots of sunshine appeared on the paper screen, and the shadows of leaves in pretty patterns fluttered over it. ' "The sun is out! The sun is outl" cried the Twins. They ran to the door, put on their clogs, and were soon dancing about in the bright sunshine. (Rights reserved by Houghton Mifflin Co.) Tomorrow: "Japanese Twins' Birth day Party."
