Holding a Husband
Adele Garrison'a New Phkie of
Revelations of a Wife
Why Alfred Declared Me Was In A
"Blue Funk."
Dicky Is always most punctilious
in his courtesy to me before outsid
ers, always afraid when we have had
e quarrel that some one will suspect
all is not perfectly serone between
us. Because of this, I could not tell
whether he had really forgotten our
unpleasant parting;, or was only
feigning to do so, when he followed
Alfred Durkee up the walk, his face
insouciant as If he hadn't a care in
the world.
"Leila! Sweetheart!" I heard Al
fred murmur as he bent to the girl's
flowerlike face, kissing her with
blissful oblivion of our presence and
that of the taxi driver, who was
looking from the motor car at us
with evident enjoyment.
"Well, Madge," Dicky pecked at
my cheek carelessly. "Where's the
rod? I now you've got one in pickle
for me somewhere for attending
that bachelor dinner without asking
your permission. Lucky dog!" He
apostrophized Alfred. "You probably
won't get a remonstrance or a re
proachful look at this stage of the
game. But just you wan till the
little girl has worn her wedding
ring for a spclF I'll bet youfl go
through your catechtsm1 every
night!" v
Alfred looked up absently.
"What did you say?" he re
marked blankly; then flushed boy
ishly at Dicky's shout of laughter.
Leila, however, womanlike, had been
able to give apparently undivided
attention to Alfred's tender mur
murs and yet hear everything Dicky
had been saying.
"You're perfectly horrid. Dicky
bird!" she pouted. "I don't believe
Madge ever say3 a word to you, al
though she ought to thrash you
, soundly about every other day."
Ltslla Feels Self-Reproach
"Oh. say not so, gracious lady!
TVithee, make It only once a week.
Do you hear, Alf, how these women

do together stick? You didn't think
you were getting such a ferocious
female, did you? Better break off
the match. There's time yet, you
know."
Leila's eyes met mine for a shame
faced instant, and I knew she was
thinking how nearly Dicky's Jesting
words had come to the truth.
"I'm not afraid," Alfred smiled
fatuously at Leila. "But if I were
In your place, Mrs. Madge, I would
not stand for any such aspersions as
the Dicky-bird is handing out. - But
then, of course, you probably do
r ave to trim him up a bit now and
then. Now I'm going to be the one
and only model husband never
need a bit of discipline."
"Lella'd better keep you in a glass
cage and charge admittance for a
look at you after next Tuesday," I
retorted, with the suspicion of an
edge to my laugh. I . had been so
absolutely magnanimous in my
mental attitude toward the bache
lor' dinner that it irritated me ab-f-urdly'
enough to pretend that I
meant to call him to account for at
tending it. . ,
Another Crisis Fassed
Tuesday!" , Dicky ejaculated.
"That's right! You hop over the
Iroomstick next Tuesday. Your
time is short, old man. I only hope
you. don't get in the blue funk I did.
It came over me. all of a sudden
that I was leaving my free, gay life
behind, and I dropped the ring and
nearly swooned away. Madge had
to slap my hands to bring me to
enough to go on with the cere
mony." "Probably if she could have seen
into the future, she'd have let you
die," Alfred drawled. "You see, she
wasn't drawing the matrimonial
prize that Leila is. But, honestly,
folks, there is something I'm in a
blue funk over, but it isn't the wed
ding. It's that family dinner to
morrow night, when all the cousins
and aunts look me over to see if I'm
worthy to be let into the family.
You're coming, of course. If I don't
have some practical northern Yan
kees to back me up I'm going to be
smothered, I know I am, by the
mere weight of the family tree rep
lesented tnere."
I looked quickly at Leila, wonder
ing if she would be offended by this
laughing reference. But her face
was untroubled, and I saw with re
lief that she had adopted a sensible
attitude toward Alfred's propensity
to tease.
"You'd better not let Aunt Dora
hear you mention the word 'Yan
kee' it you want to marry me, sir,"
she ' laughed. "She's the dearest,
most unreconstructed old rebel you
ever saw. You stand very high
with her, for some incomprehen
sible reason" she glanced at him
with pretty coquetry "but her lik
ing would never stand that test."
"You're too saucy altogether,"
Alfred announced abruptly. "I'm
doing to take you home and disci
pline you. You'll surely be there
tomorrow night," he called over his
shoulder, as he whisked Leila un-
ceiemoniously and laughingly down
the path.
"With our ears pinned back and
cur hair in a braid," Dicky called
after tham, then turned to me and
slipped his arm under mine.
"if you'll get down on your
bended knees, I'll forgive you," he
ald quizzically, and with the old
familiar formula I knew that once
more a quarrel between us had
teen patched up.

WE CAN'T. TELL exactly how the Multigraph would
earn for your business until we know you better, but here's how it
has" earned for thousands of others. First off, the Multigraph
more than "earns its keep' by effecting a saving on every job it turns out a 25
to 75 saving on printing bills. . ?
It earns by getting your price lists, sales
bulletins, all your printed matter, out on time
EVERY time.
It earns by getting you in where call
trs are barred, especially on busy days.
It earns by doing missionary work for
your salesmen, making them bigger producer s.
It earns by winning the confidence of
your trade and keeping in close touch with them.
It earns by developing mailorderbmi
ness in territory your salesmen can't afford to
coyer.
It earns by keeping your salesmen
posted, interested, enthused.
It earns by backing up your advertis
ing to jobbers, dealers and public, by "individ
ualizing" your message. .
It earns by educating and inspiring
your factory and office force, developing enthu
siasm and ability.
This short list has already started you thinking of several other ways
Multigraph could earn money for you. Why not start it earning NOW?

Why shouldn't I? I don't want
you to think that I know your re
marks are aimed at me. And tho
harder you hit at my pet shortcom
ings the louder I laugh. Vou don't
suppose I'm going to let you think
that I take to myself what you are
saying. I'm too wise for that.
I'll let you think that I share youf
opinions of the person against whom
your attack is directed.
If you want me to take any of
your words to heart you've got to
tell me outright you're talking about
me. Hints or indirect curtain lec
tures make no impression on me.
Say whatever you've got to tell me
right out in clear terms or don't

about it in any other way you're
simply losing time.
