Holding a Husband
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
What Mrs. Durkee Had to Say
i About Rita Brown.
As I followed my mother-in-law
and title Mrs. Durkee down the hall
to Mother Graham's room, I paid
menial tribute to the poise of my
husband's mother.
In het son's own parlance, she
had proved herself to be a "thor
oughbred," and a "corking good
sport." By her action in leaving the
window of Dicky's room open, and
giving him a chance to get back into
his room unobserved by little Mrs.
Durkee, she had saved me from the
appearance of a falsehood and Dicky
from the stigma of discourtesy to
ward his little neighbor. Whether
or not she would have been so mag
nanimous if ray reputation alone had
been at stake, I didn't permit myself
to quesion. It was enough for m?
that, in Chinese phraseology, we had
"saved our face."
Little Mrs. Durkee became
volubly incoherent apain as soon as
we were comfortably seated in
Mother Graham's room. k
"You needn't look at me in that
reproachful fashion, Madge," she
began, making little dabs at her eyes
vith an absurd little handkerchief.
"I suppose I am a pig, but 1 simply
cannot stand being snut up 36 hours
with Rita Brown, and I won't, not
if I don't go to ite wedding. So,
thjere, nowl If Leila would rather
have Rita Brown than nic well
she's welcome, that's all."
Madge -ai-3ts.
After this childish and thoroughly
characteristic ouburst, she took
etuge in her handkerchief attain, a
proceeding which relieved instead of
troubled me, for it gave me a chance
to think carefully before framing a
reply to her.
That Alfred and Leila had kept
the fact of Rita Brown's invitation to
the wedding a secret from "Her
Fluffiness" until the last possible
moment because of the little wom
an's aversion to the girl. I well
knew. That the news had bean
broken at last was very evident. Tlie
rest of the little woman's griev
ance I guessed, but resolved that I
would feign ignorance of the whole
matter.
I gravely produced one of Dickv's
old handkerchiefs from a pocket of
my bungalow apron I always carry
one when, working around the houre
and bending over her, put it in her
hand.
"You'll be more comfortable with
this," I suggested slyly, "and whei,
you're through with it, perhaps you'll
remember that I'm still waiting to
find out what this is all about."
She sat up with a jerk, as I knew
she would long experience with my
little neighbor has given me familiar
ity with her every mood and tense
and turned Indignant eyes on me. ,
"Do you mean to sit there and
tell me, Madge Graham, that you
didn't know Leila insists upon drag
ging that unspeakable Rita Brown
down to her wedding because, for
sooth, Rita was so kind when Edith
and I first came to New York!" The
little woman's mimicry was filled
with scorn. "You can wager your
best hat that if Rita Brown was
ever kind to anybody but herself, it
was because she saw some advant
age in it."
"I won't 'take' you on that wager,"
returned quietlv, relieved that she
was temporarily switched from the
query as to my own knowledge of
Rita Brown's invitation. "And from
my knowledge of the lady. I can't
imagine her having to be 'dragged'
to the lestivities.
"I'll tell the world that," my little
neighbor responded fervently. "And
I'll tell U something else, too and
that is, even if Lelia is going to be
my daughter-in-faw she has a crust
to pitch that East side product"
my little neighbor's vocabulary evi
dently was nearly exhausted "into
my company. Whv she couldn't take
a berth instead of crowding in with
us you know what four women in
a drawing room will be and you
know we have to carry a lot of ths
wedding finery for fear the trunks
Viay not get there Lelia has two
three boes, besides her suit case."
I smiled involuntarily as she
paused for breath. I knew that her
description of Leila's band bagga?e
was correct,', but I knew also, what
she had discreetly avoided mention
ing, that her own boxes exceeded in
number those of her future daughter-in-law.
"I am to understand then," I said
smiling, "that Rita Brown is to
shore your drawing room?"
"Not on your golden wedding dav
she isn't!" Mrs. Durkee asserted.
"That's what I came over for.
Dicky simply must change those
reservations. Alf won't do a thing
Leila's simplv got him hypnotized."

New York, June 25 Business on
the stock exchange today registered
almost the. lowest level of seasonal
dullness, transactions for the full
five hours approximating 275,000
shares.
The movement of prices while
firm to strong in the main, reflected
this stagnant condition. The usual
market favorites advanced and re
ceded within a radius of 1 to 3
points, fractional ruling at the close.
Almost the only stocks to mani
fest consistent heaviness were the
metals, that group evidently labor
ing under the disadvantages result
ing from yesterday's cut in the In
spiration Copper dividend. Low
priced oils also lost ground for a
time, but rallied in the general up
turns of the last hour.
Ho far as pools participated In tha day a
En ding, their efforts were again chiefly
directed tuwnid tWda, ctiulpmrnts, oils

.St. Paul preferred, Missouri Pacific pre
ferred, Ilock Island, Western Pacific,

lesjion.led to moderate buying.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha, Ilea Leased M ire.
Chicago, June 24. Scattered
liquidation wa on in July corn and
with heavy selling credited to a cen
tral Illinois industry prices declined
sharply and the premium over Sep
tember was reduced to 7;c at the
last against 9-jjC the previous day,
closing 2c lower. September fluc
tuated rapidly within a range of
2&c and closed J-sc higher, due to
general short covering, while De
cember gained lc, trading in that de
livery increasing. Oats were rather
tjuiet and closed unchanged qAc
lower, while rye was lAi'A lower
and barley c lower.
Strong commission houses were on both
sidea ot the market In the September,
but owlntr to the recent decline of over
7c from the high point tiypre v.as much
leaf disposition to pros, the selling side on
tha brcaka and the dips were taken ad
Wntage o( to aecuro profits.
While commission houses were good tuy
ere of September oats on an early break
there was little Interest In the news to
Justify extensive operations either side of
the market. Samples values unchanged
to Ho lower with receipts 7J cars. Ship
ping sales 30,0u0 bushels. Closing of
apreada between July and September at
Minneapolis aaid to have been done as
the result of a small failure there widened
the lprcad to 2.ic at the last and had
some cfieVt in Chicago. No. 2 on track
sold at 7',!C over July at $2.2014.
Uemand for wheat at the gulf was slow
with August-September shipment around
$2 88 bid and 2.tf asked. Several cars
of Xo. 2 hard sold track New York at
$2.96, with buyers of July shipment at
around $2.91 and August at $2.56.
lllds on new wheat to arrive were un
changed at $r5 for August and 2.00 for
September shipment track Chicago.

Pit Note.
The east has cancelled 5,000 bushels
cash com and 30,000 bushels oata th.s
""llepoft exporters bidding $2.6 for wheat,
all rail shipment, to New York, ship-,
mcnt this week, and $2.90 c. t. f. ticorgian
bay. The latter shows a decline of 2c.
Lateat bid on July wheat here was
1161 and on September. $3.60. which Is
at least 13c below cokt of Argentine wheat
for the aama shipment. America Is the.
principal exporter of wheat at present
and a good business la going on every
dtJeorge M. Lecounte wires Htein. Alstrln
& Co. from Waterloo. Ia.: "There is
abundant moisture In this territory. The
oat straw la short, but is heading well
and will make an average crop of good
quality If this cool weather continues.
Corn la a good atand, fairly clean, though
a little late."
Clement, Curtis & Co., having following
from Russell's: "Farm labor in Oklahoma
Is said to be In excess to the requirement.
Said to be three men for every job in
the harvest field and farmers are employ,
ing Just as few as possible."
John Inglis wires Logan & Bryan from
Belleville, Kan.: "Sallna, Manhattan to
Iielleville wheat will run 10 to 25; cut
ting wall advanced. Large acreage In
oata and barley; both good. Most of tha
corn late; short and rather unpromising
at this data."
E. W. Wagnar A Co., said: "R. O.
Cromwell reports from Galesburg, 111.,
that oata around there are 70 to 71 per
cent normal. Rain recently of much
value. Early oata batter than lata. About
one field In five very good."
Iowa weekly weather and crop report,
as receiver over Jamea Bennett , wire,
says: "Hot, dry weather with ahundant
sunshine, prevailed, except Mattered show
era In Lyon eounty. Corn made rapid
progress. Winter wheat Is generally In
head JMid entering upon tha most critical
period namely, tha filling period. Spring
wheat la beginning to head and oata
art jointing, though both are short." -
Broomhall saya tha situation In corn
In the United Kingdom appears easier,
with offera of Argentina shippers larger
and at lower prices. Cats not ao firm.
Buyers have not bean operating actively
deeplta reduction In prices.
Khafer A Stream hav a message from
Minneapolis saying: "No demand for cash
wheat here. Larger milling concerns out

Dun's Taade Review.
New York, Juna 25. Dun'a tomorrow
wilt say:
"While the close of tha first half of
a year is usually approached with some
shrinkage in volume ef buslneaa yet sea
sonal Influences partly explain the con
traction of operations that la evident in
various quarters. Retarding factors at
present tIo not appear most conspicu
ously In weather conditions or In vaca
tion interruptions, as Is sometimes the
caie at this period, but rather In trans
portation difficulties, which are Intensi
fied by fresh labor troublea In aome local
ities, and In monetary restrictions and
price uncertainties. These are elements
that hav lately combined with aome
otner pnases, to appreciaoiy curtail com
mercial transactions, and tha prevailing
lull, in view of Sta causes may prove
to be more than a passing development."
