Holding a Husband
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
What Mother Graham Arranged
for Madge.
I know I must have presented a
most ludicrous picture when my
mother-in-law mdeicr astonishing
reterence to Katie, for my mouth
flew wide open in my amazement,
and I gazed at her wide-eyed. That
in my nervous state Y had the self-
control to keep speech from my
opeted lips is a marvel to me.
Dicky, however, was not so pru
dent. He evidently took every
you of his mother s little tirade as
meaning himself, because she had
pointedly addressed the first one to
him. ,
"When I planned to let Katie go
away for a vacation! he repeated
"When I planned!" He pronounced
the first personal pronoun as
though it were a new kind of oath.
"Well, if this isn't the holy outside
limit! Am I awake or dreaming of
this?"
. "If you're awake it's more than
you usually are at this time in the
morning," his mother retorted tart
ly. "I don't mean that you planned
her vacation. But Margaret did, and
you agreed to it."
"Well, I'll be" Dicky sported,
but by a . well-timed signal behind
my mother-in-law's back I managed
to forestall his mention of the state
to which he was consigning himself.
I had mastered my astonishment
and was anxious, for the sake of
peace, to keep my impetuous hus
band from recalling to his mother's
mind that it was her objection to
having Katie accompany us south
which had led to my planning a va
cation for my faithful little maid dur
ing our absence. That neither he
nor anyone else could ever convince
her of that fact I saw from the pat
ent honesty with which she had
made the statement concerning Ka
tie. She actually believed that she
had advised me to bring Katie with
me, and that I had rejected her coun
sel. So I repeated my signal of silence
to Dicky, and had hard work to keep
from laughing at his puzzled frown
as he obeyed me. Fortunately his
mother didn't notice his sudden si
lence. She was evidently full of
some subject which she wished to
dicuss with mo.
"That Mrs. Lukens is really a very

decent sort of woman," she began.
I never have been able to discover
why my mother-in-law prefixes to
the' name of any stranger the word
"that," but it is her invariable habit,
and I smiled involuntarily at the fa
miliar introduction.
"You speak of her as if she were
a piece of graham bread," Dicky
commented, but I interrupted him
hastily.
"Never mind him, mother," I said,
throwing a provocatively mischiev
ous glance at my husband. "He's
making an altitude ascension this
morning. Tell me about Mrs. Lu
kens."
"You'll both weep for my com
pany when i bestow it upon you
again. Uicky declared lottily, mak
ing for the door. But the face he
turned toward me. from the (thres
hold was distinctly approving and
I knew that he was grateful to me
for giving hini the opportunity to
escape the possibility ot his moth
er s wrath.
"I'm Simply Ravenous."
"Richard has been getting abso
lutely irresponsible lately," his ma
ternal parent remarked as the door
closed after him. "I think it's the
nfluence of that Grantland on him.
He never used to act this way."
I choked down an amused giggle
which would have mortally offended'
my august mothcr-in-law. But the
idea of stern, silent, almost unsoci
able Hugh Grantland, whom Dicky
cordially disliked, influencing him to
silly, .teasing conversation was al
most too much for mv risibilities.
"But I didn't come into talk about
Richard," Mother Graham went on.
I lust wanted to tell you that Mrs.
Lukens came over this morning and
said that until you got well she
would let us have Mandy to help us
out. It seems there is just herselt
for meals in that big house she has
some people rooming with her, but
they go out to their meals so Man
dy "has very littk to do. I rather
fancy Mrs. Lukens is a thrifty sort
of person and would just as "soon
get rid of Mandy's expense for a
little while if we want to keep tier.
Of course, she'd have her back when
we left. I told her we d be glad to
have Mandy while you're ill and
she's in the kitchen now. Is there
anything especial 'you'd like to eat
anything light, I mean?

meant it. Indeed, I was surprised
at my own quick recovery from the
absolute nervous exhaustion which
had prostrated me on the train. But
the opportunity to rest undisturbed,
which the car drawing-room had af
forded me, and the wonderful air
which had enveloped me during my
dreamless sleep in Mrs. Lukens'
sleeping orch had worked wonders
with me.
"I'm glad of that," my mother-in-law
remarked, practically, "but
there are mighty few things I'm go
ing to let you have tqday. No meat
or eggs or anything like that, I'm
uot going to have you worse again."
I started in to assert in no uncer
tain terms that my trouble had been
nervous, not digestive, but prudently
changed my remark to one from
which I tried to extract the wearied
annoyance 1 felt:
"I wish you'd decide on something
and surprise me," I said, with the
strenuous wish that Dicky would
hasten to bring the physician he had
promised.

I'M THE GUY
I'M THE GUY at the summer
boarding house who is first in the
dining room when the dinner bell
ringsf and orders extra portions so
that someone else won't get them.
What do I care if others don't get
enough to eat as long as I can stuff
myself?
I'm paying just as much board
as they are, and I mean to get my
money's worth, whether they do or
not.
I kick about the table, but you'll
notice I eat everything in sight just
the same, and always manage to
get enough.
I don't hesitate to take the last
drop of milk in the pitcher, or the
last piece of cake on the table be
cause if I didn't someone else would
beat me to it.
And if I can beat the crowd to the
most comfortable chair on the porch
I do that, too. , ,
I'm staying there to enjoy my
self, and if I don't get the best of
everything it's my own fault. ft And
if you don't, that's your own fault.
Not mine!

More Truth
By JAMES J.
SILENCE
There's utter quiet on the stair,
The footsteps, as light as rain, "
That lately used to patter there,
We listen for in vain.
There is no sound of falling toys
Out yonder in the hall.
In fact there isn't any noise
About the house at all.
The cat is curled upon the floor
In unmolested ease,
The pup is calmly searching for
A squad of lively flees.
And as he twiats and turns about
He gives a questing bark,
But no one answers with ashout
That summons him to lark.
No fingers press the window pane,
No little eager eyes
Look out upon the falling rain
As twilight slowly dies.
Upstairs and down and everywhere,
One cannot hear a sound;
It racks the stoutest nerve to bear
A silence so profound.
Then mother lays aside her book,
Marks carefully her place,
And with an apprehensive look
Upon her gentle face
She says, "My goodness gracious me!
How quiet baby's been!
Run, Willie, right up stairs and see
What mischief he is in!"

'PAY ATTENTION TO THE
COOKING.
By J. J. MUNDY.
To many wives are feeding their
husbands nowadays on meals' pur
chased at delicatessen shops.
Too much time given to frivolity
and ease and not enough time spent
in the kitchen.
It should be the desire of every
girl to be a good cook before jshe
gets married; if not before, certainly
marriage should increase the desire.
Men who have had years and
years of restaurant life and too
many hotel meals may be prepared
for that sort of thing by experience,
but it is not what they are looking
for when they decide they want to
marry.
No matter how expensive nor how
well cooked the meals in a regular
eating establishment, a man tires of
the fare and there is a longing for
meals such as mother used to cook.
When a man marries and there is
practically po change in these un

pleasant conditions of bachelor life,
he is bound to become dissatisfied
there is something lacking and he
is disappointed.
The girl unwilling to do her part
to make home happy should not
marry.
If her husband has the means to
provide help for her to do her work
she is fortunate, and if not she
should be glad to get good meals for
her husband.
Parents Problems
5. Should children be allowed to
attend political meetings?
If they wish to attend, there is no
reason why they should not, pro
videed they are accompanied by a
grown person, and are not allowed
to mingle in too large a crowd or
become over-tired.
The proprietop of a Michigan salt
mine recently gave a motion picture
show at the bottom of the mine,
about a half mile below the surface.
It was a safety first reel, ind the
picture was thrown .against one of
the white walls of the mine, which
answered the purpose of a screen
admirably.
Drawn
Vamping Andy
By RUTH LOGAN.
"Good morning, Miss Driscoll."
Andy Prentiss endeavored to make
his voice sound natural. He flat
tered himself that Hclene Driscoll
could not have told him from the
way he delivered himself of the
greeting that he had run for five
minutes in order to overtake her and
bid her good morning in just that
on-hand-happen-b3'-accidcnt manner.
"How pleasant to find someone
else who enjoys the morning time,"
said Miss Driscoll with one of her
rare smiles. "It seems to me the
most beautiful time of all and yet
the rest of the girls and fellows pre
fer late sleep to a morning swim."
"Could you postpone the dip, Miss.
Driscoll, until I get into a bathing
suit?" asked Andy.
"If you hurry. I have a friend
coming down for the week-end and
there are many things I must do be
fore the evening train arrives."
In a remarkably short time Andy
returned, ready for a swim. Helene's
eyes keep meeting his in a sort' of
searching inquiry as he sat down
beside her in the sand. She had
paid no attention whatever to the
rest of the men and Andy could not
help but feel elated at remembering
it was she who first addressed him.
Of course, he had followed her
around the beach a trifle conspicious
ly, but had she not wished to speak
to him she might easily have gone
on ignoring him.
"It's very good of you to let me
swim with you," he began, "and
when the fellows find it out 'Im
going to be awfully popular. They
will hang around me hoping for an
introduction."
Helene Driscoll tinned serious
eyes toward him. "Your name is
Andy, isn't it, Mr. Prentiss? If
you don't mind I'm going to call
you Andy. I'm old enough to take
liberties, am I not?"
He was conscious of an embarass
ment at her words. "You can't be
so very much older than I am."
"About 12 years, I imagine. You're
about 18. Am I right?"
"Yes," he admitted, blushing
slightly through the generous coat
of tan. "But I feel a lot older. "And
I don't think you are 30."
"Thank you," she laughed, "but I
am. Doesn't that sound old to
you?"
"I like older girls," he replied,
writing his name with a long fore
finger in the white sand.
She swayed toward him slightly.
"I am glad you do. I hope you
like me, at least. 1 think I could
Lccome very, very fond of you."
Andy was giddy with happiness.
This conversation surpassed his
wildest hopes. He had been kept
awake through the hours of the
night trying to frame the proper re
marks to be uttered by him in case
Miss Driscoll deigned to converse
with him. Just what reply to make
to Miss Driscoll's last remark was
something of a question. Before he
could frame an impressive answer,
however, a voice sounded behind
him.
"Andy Prentiss, I've been trying
for a week to get you to come out
for a morning swim and here I find
you double-crossing me."
The girl who came up to them was
clad in a black . bathing suit and
flaminpf cap. She was much younger
than Miss Driscoll and her face reg
istered something of hurt surprise.
"Miss Driscoll, this is Miss Hen
derson." "Betty Henderson, isn't it?" asked
Helene, lifting a "white hand toward
the girl. "I hear that you are the best
swimmer out here. Shall we have
Our dip now and then all, go up to
the hotel fgr breakfast?"
Andy was angry. He had liked
Betty until Miss Driscoll made her
appearance. As Helene and Betty
ran in front of him hand-in-hand to
the water's edge he compared them
carefully. From a point of beauty
he could not make a decision. He
stood at the shore line watching
them in the water. Betty was un
doubtedly the better swimmer, but
Betty was only a young girl. Andy
liked older women. They brought
out the best in a fellow, he thought.
"Come on in, Andy," called Betty.
"We want to duck you."
"That's kid stuff. Betty," rejoined
Andy with a superior shrug of his
shoulders.
"Well, I'm only a kid and so are
you." Before he knew what she in
tended doing she had returned to thr
shore, grasped his hand and pulled
him into the water.
The three of them breakfasted to
gether. Andy was fascinated by the
way Miss Driscoll held her toast
daintily between beautiful fingers; he
adored the manner in which her el
bows rested on the edge of the white
cloth as she sipped her coffee. Every--!
thing about her was perfect.
"Isn't your father coming down to
night?" demanded Betty of Andy
suddenly.
"Yes' he answered, with a frown.
"Oh, I'm so glad. You'll just love
Mr. Prentiss, Miss - Driscoll. He
and Andy's mother used to be the
life of this place, but since she died
Mr. Prentiss hasn't been quite the
same. He never dances any more,
but everybody's glad when he comes.
He lets us duck him. I guess he
isn't afraid of being too kiddish."
for The Bee by Sidney Smith.
WHY?
Are Bells Used in Churches?
(Copyright. 1920, by the Wheeler
Syndicate, Inc.)
No matter how far we dig back
into authentic history wc find
traces of metal instruments which
yielded musical notes whcii
struck by metal wands or clap
pers. Aaron, for example, .is de
scribed as wearing golden bells
upon his priestly apparel, and
small bronze bells have been
taken from the palace of Nitu
roud in Ninevah. In the Far
East, where the use of large bells
is supposed to have originated,
"bells of justice" were used long
before the Christian era, but, ow
ing to the secrecy with which the
early Christians were forced to
practice their faith, church bells
did not come into common use in
Europe until about the sixth or
seventh century. Prior to this
time, the monks announced the
hcur of prayer by blowing a
trumpet or rapping with a ham
mer upon the doors of the monas
teries. l
Bishop Paulinus of Nola, in
Campania, is generally considered
to have been the first to recog
nize the value of bells as a signal
for summoning congregations to
church, and, in support of this
throty. etymologists point out
that the words "nola" and "cam
pana" appear both in Latin and
Italian as synonyms for "bell.'1
Paulinus, it is stated, was an
noyed at the excuses offered by
his congregations for uot being
prompt in their attendance at
rhurch services. At this time-
during the fifth century devices
for keeping track of time were
very erode and inefficient, and
members of the bishop's flock
would often arrive long after the
service had been concluded. It
was in order that they might have
no excuse for being late that
Paulinus is supposed to have in
stalled the first church bell,
though its metallic clang was at
first opposed as savoring of pa
gan practices.
Betty's nose tilted a little higher
than customary as she tossed her
head at Andy.
"I'm awfully anxious for father to
meet you, Miss Driscoll. Will you
drive down tonight with me? I be
lieve you said you were expecting a
friend on that train."
"I shall be happy to do so," smiled
Helene.
Betty's face clouded. "Andy Pren
tiss, I think you're horrid. You said
you weren't going to meet him and
more than a week ago you asked
me to go over to the island for a
steak supper at 6 o'clock tonight."
Betty sprang from the table and
ran through the dining room. Andy
turned to Miss Driscoll helplessly.
"That's why I like older girls.
Wasn't that the silliest thing you
ever heard?"
"And that's why I like older
men," said Miss Driscoll softly.
"When they make an engagement
they remember it."
."You think I ought to go to the
island?"
"Certainly, if you promised."
"But who'll meet father?"
AI will." replied Helene. "Listen
jusna minute, Andy. You like me,
don't you?"
"I'll say I do," came the swift
reply.
"Your father sent me down here
to get acquainted with you. He was
afraid you'd "be prejudiced lif he in
troduced me as your future step
mother. I'm sure you won t be, now
that we know each other so Nwell."
She offered her hand across the
breakfast tabic. Andy took it limply.
Then his grip closed firmly over her J
fingers.
"Isn't that corking!" he exclaimed.
"If you've finished would you mind
coming out with me to find Betty.
Shame to let her think I intended to
ditch that steak supper. I like to
tease her but she's an awful peach,
isn't she. Miss Miss."
"Just call me Helene, please,"
came 'the soft answer.
"Dad's a h'eky man." burst out
Andy. "I'm going to like you aw
fully well. Say, Hclene, if I intro
duce you to Terry Grey will you
vamp for an hour until I get Betty
in a canoe? He's such a nuisance
He's stuck on her."
