J - s a..., - . ' . THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1920. ' ' v ' HOLDING A ; HUSBAND " . ' , Adele Garrison's New Phase of - . Revelations' of aWife . How Mrs. Durkee Started Oift to 0 Take Care of Madge. My wish for my mother-in-law's Ininistrationi was not nearly o ab surd m it seemed, even considering the fact that her ridiculous and un- just tirade had been the proverbial last straw which had caused my ner vous collapse. No two women can live together as we had done, sharing the common family burdens and . the care of a child, without coming to depend upon each other in a way neither realizes until some emergency ar rives. And while my mother-in-law, jn her son's parlance, "holds the world's records for altitude flights and perfection of nagging methods," yet when any great emergency ap pears, she, like many other naggers,, rises wonderfully to the' occasion. Afld while, the emergency lass she seems to strip herself as if for a race of all hampering pettiness. But, of course, I realized that the scene in which sie and I had just figured precluded all idea of her tak ing care of me. She had said an almost unpardonable thing to me," although I had a sneaking suspicion that she 'didn't mean it at all, and I had announced that I would not for give it That gulf lay between us, and I knew that it was one 'not easily bridged. . - ', So I tried to force myself to en dure the presence of little Mrs. Durkee, most welcome when I am well, but in the jangled, twisted state of my nerves, seeming something al most unendurable. I turned my face to the wall, closed my eyes, and pretended sleep when a rustling at the door proclaimed her coming. : Searching in Vain. "Why, isn't this awfull" she ex claimed as she entered. She came to my side, bent over me, and fd my hands and . face. "She's cold," she said quickly. "Where's a hot water bag?" she turned on my fath er practically. "I must put one to her feet at once." rj "I'll get : one somewhere. ' - my father said, determinedly," and IJssew he would accost every passenger in the car in, his quest if necessary I opened my eyes and spoke wearily: "There's-one in my bag bwt I don't need it." "Oh, yes you do!" my little neigh bor returned. ' "Give me. the bag." My father brought it and handed it to her, and I heard her going rapidly through it contents. I had closed my eyes again from sheer weakness, but, I couldn't close r.iy tortured eafsv "It isn't here," she announced im patiently. I was too weak-to scream or I think; I shouW hmt shrieked the direction I gave her.-.. ; "It is on the top tied in i -bath towel." ; I had to dra the words out . . . Is ' "Well, what do you iknow .about .that!" she demanded with irritated wonder. "And. I upset - all these other things 1 I might have known ou'd have everything according-to" rfoyle. I dpn't need to be a phy sician to diagnose, your case, Madge. You've got a case of ingrowing WHY?- Do We Speak of Something Be ing "Beyond the Pale?"' (Copyright, 120. By the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) This expression, the'requivalent of "outside of the law" or "be yond jurisdiction" owes its orig in to the fact that the word "pale" in history is used to de note a circumscribed limit o authority, a definition ., which dates back to the time of King John of -England. , This monarch divided that part of the kingdom -of Ireland which was subject to English rule into 12 counties and the en tire district was known as the "Pale." Inside ofxit, English law was acknowledges and obey ed, while the land outside was in an' almost; constant state of uproar and dissension. For this reason, there sprung up a col loquial reference to matters be ing "within "the pale'V-or man aged according to law and order in contradistinction to'" those which were "without the pale" or in a disordered condition.

"We'd best be going along;" and they crept out of the crowd just as he began to roar out a new song. ' : ' An old woman, with a white cap and a shawl over her head and a basket on her arm, smiled at them as they slipped by. She jerked her thumb over her shoulder at the Bal lad Singer. "Melodibus is the closed mouth," she said. ' "Indeed, ma'am, I've often heard my mother say so," Eileen answered politely. She curtsied to the women. The old woman looked pleased, "Will you come along with me out of the sound of this the both of you?" she said, "And Tlbtake you to hear things that will keep the memory of Ireland green while there's an Irishman .. left in the world." She led them to a raised platform some distance away. Over the plat form there floated, a white flag with a green harp on it. The old woman pointed ta rt. "Do you remember the old harpTf Tara?" she said to the Twins. "Tis nowhere else at all now but on -the flag, but time was, long, long years ago, when the harp itself was played. on Tara's hill. And in those days there were poets to praise Ireland, and singers to sing her songs. And here they will be telling of those days, and singing those songs. Gome and listen.
