8 THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1920. Holding a Husband Adele Garrison'! New Phase of Revelations of a Wife The Things Dicky Had to Say on Leila Wedding Morning;. 1 Leila's wedding dayl . I awakened early in the morning and looked eagerly through the win dews of the "sun parlor" to re whether my little friend would be a bride whom "the sun shhes on." I knew enough of her intensely feminine nature to be sure that rain or shadows upon her wedding day would distress her immeasurably, and was glad ir.Jcrd to see the sun rising clear and bright. The wedding ceremony was to be lead at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. but Dicky and I had been bidden J to come to the old Paige hoinetori breakfast with the members of the wedding .party, Major Grantland ami two or three l'aige "cousins." Leila had expressed a wish to liavt: the pink and white dogwood blos soms piled against the holly and pine branches which banked the walls of the stately drawing room, and "Cousin" Jim Paige had promptly promised that he would head a party of wedding guests who would go to the woods and bring in and arrange the blossoms at an hour near enough to that set for the ceremony to insure their keep ing their treshness. Certain Complications. I o tell the truth, l wa'n t ex ceedingly enthusiastic over the tuorning s program. 1 he presence in the same party of Dicky, Edith Fairfax, "Cousin" Jim Paige, Hugh Grantland and myself promised complications, which, even if thev were not unpleasant, might well prove more or less embarrassing. That Edith Fairfax careJ hope lessly tor Dicky I had long known, and Cousin Jim Fame had con titled to me his feeling for Edith when we were seated next each ether at the dinner "Aunt Dora" had given. I had seen also his jealousy of Dicky, something which had worried me absurdly. Then, too, there was always before my imagination the . possible conse quences of the jealous feeling which Dicky cherished toward Hugh Grantland a feeling concerniiif, which I acquitted myself of all tlaine, but which I was just enough to acknowledge was warranted by ihe officer's attitude- toward me. There was no way out of the af fair, however, and I rose and ri-essed as quietly and rapidly "ui possible, that Dicky might have the ''room to himself when he should awaken. We have been accustomed su long to the really spacious quar ters of our house at Marvin, with a la-ge room for each of us, rhat it h irksome to Dicky to crowd his be longings into a small room whicV he must share with me. I, was not successful, however, in my attempt, for as I was arranging my hair in front of the mirror, Dicky's voice startled me into drop ping my brush. A Storm Averted. "What the devil are yon up at this unearthly hour lorr he asked. Oh. I remember, that jamboree over at the Paige, menage! Well. I'll tell the world I feel more like turning over for another 40 winks than I do like trotting through the woods looking for dogwood blossoms! If that isn't. just like a woman, up setting everything to get just the kind of flowers she wants." "As it happened, a man 'upset things' this particular time," I an swered demurely, picking up my hair brush. "As I understand it, Leila simply said she loved the dog wood blossoms, and would like to Irive them around her, and Dr. Jim Paige promptly organized this hunt fcr them." "Oh, of course, he could be dc puit'ed on to roll over and play dca-1 when either of the Fairfax sis ii'rs lifted a finger!" Dicky growled. "There's devotion for you! He's so dead in love wih Edith that he'll get up at this hour in the morning to hunt for flowers for her sister's vedJing. That's his own business, however, but why in thunder he has to rope in the rest of us " ; lie was stretchir.g and flexing his mcstles now. his inevitable pre liminary to rising. ' I finished my hair, arranged my side of the bureau in orderly fashion, and hastily de parted to my own side of the room to finish dressing. I did not want to and any trine to the annoyance lie evidently was feeling. "Gad. but that Jellow makes me Mck," he went on. "He and the derh ruaiah ought to be tied to-i gather and left in the woods some where until they get a little sane again. Of all the mooning calves I ever saw in my life they're the limit! But 1 suppose women like th:.t sort of thing." x . Now this speech brought me several moods ' in flashing succes sion. First, anger, for I knew that he meant me. Second, jealousv, be- juilun rlir rcpnfiHl Tim Pnige's feeling toward . Edith I Fair fax. And then Dotn were awaneu ;-.y a sense of the ridiculous which sometimes rises to the surface from some depth in my nature and drives ltsser waves of feeling back. ' I turned to Dicky; striking a pose of reverential admiration. "What colossal wisdom!" I ex claimed saucily. "T Sandys on wo rn?!) 1 Really, dear, you ought to re tire to a cave and be a hermit or a mvt:c for awhile. Your philosophy is so "If you don't get out of here.' Dickv interrupted grinning, "I'll stoee a cave man stunt that II keen you away from that breakfast. Now beat it and let me dress." (Continued Tomorrow.) Parents Problems Is a Vitten a safe pet for a 2-jar-old child? This is ardebatable question. If the kitten is perfectly clean, and if the child is very gentle, a kitten may be a safe pet. On the whole, how ever, it would be better to wait until the child is 5 or 6 years old a 2-year-old child wants a "toy," and no living thing should be used as a toy. ;; Massachusetts Motorists Under Strict Regulations , Boston, Nov. 14. Massachuetts motorists who fail to heed the rules of police officers and court officials in other states will lose their licenses to operate in this state, according to Frank A.

Just as a yawn is the natural impulse of the body' to bring more oxygen to the lungs by in haling a larger amount of air than is obtainable through ordin ary breathing, the action of stretching one's arms expands the chest and naturally causes a greater inflow of oxygen which the body realizes that it needs. We extend the arms, open the mouth and contract the arteries for a moment. The heart, there fore, works the harder to pump the blood through the body and especially through the lungs, thereby taking advantage of every particle of the. additional oxygen. The desire to stretch is usually connected with a feeling i'of drowsiness or fatigue, because a desire for rest is a sign that the body is tired and is seeking a stimulant of some kind either sleep or an extra . amount of oxygen, the fuel which keeps the "human furnace burning as it should. The satisfied feeling which follows a good "stretch" is due to the fact that the blood has received a sufficient supply of the material which it needs, and also because of the change in the position of the muscles of the arms and chest which have become fatigued through remain ing too long in .one position. - Otf TVOE war Worat I've NEVEfc.

Murh to Brownie's disappointment, But Brownie manacjedtoreaci hem ha found that Mr. Frog's door was locked. But he sat down on the door step and waited a long time. And at last Mr. Frog appeared. After bidding Brownie Beaver good-morning, Mr. Frog yawned widely, remarking that he had been out late the night before, "at a singing-party," he said. "What can I do for you?" he asked Brownie Bea ver. "You can let me have my new suit of clothes," Brownie told him. "You must be mistaken," Mr. Frog replied. "I don't remember you. I'm not making any suit for you." At that Brownie Beaver became muob excited. "Why " he exclaimed "I was here three days ago and you me. ured me. . . . Don't you know me now?" he asked. "Sorry to say I don't," vas Mr. Frog's answer. ' Brownie Peayer was desperat?. lie had looked forward eagerly to hav ing his new suit. And he wanted it at once.

"So if I look ten years younger, I must ap pear very young indeed." "The new clothes will fix that," Mr. Frog assured him. "But you just told ms you were not making a suit for me," said Brownie. ' ! '.'Quite true, tool answered Mr. Frog "because it's all finished. So, of course, I'm not making it now." . They had stepped inside the shop, And Mr. Frog carefully took some garments off a peg and spread them before Brownie Beaver. "There!" he said with an air' of nride. "The finest suit you ever saw!" "I'll slip it on," said Brownie. -'0h! I wouldn't do that!" Mr. Frog told him. "You might rtretch it." But nothing could have kept Brownie Beaver out of his new suit. He scrambled i.ito it quickly, while the tailor stood by with a worried ! look upon his face. "The coat seems to be all right," Brownie remarked. "But there's something wrong with the trousers. I can't see my feet!" He bent ever and cazed down where his feet ought to have been. But they had vanished. And an end of each trouser-leg trailed on the floor. "These trou sers are too long!" Brownie declrred. "Then you stretched them, puttinp th.m on," Mr. Frog said. I warned you. you know." "I was very ca tul, JJrowme said. "I'm sure it can't be that" , t "Then your legs are too short.

"What can we do about this " I can't wear trou sers a. they arc." "You'll have to get youi legs stretched," Mr. Frog told him. "Just tie a stone to each foot and wear the trousers fir a few days. As soon as you see your "feet, take off the stones. . . . It's simple enough." He helped tic some heavy potnes to Brownie's feet. And then Brownie swam away. s Now, swimming with your feet weighted like that is no easy matter. But Brownie managed to reach home. He stayed there, too, for the rest of the day, because it was hard for him to move about. And since he had nothing else to do, he went to sleep.' , , '..

And he had made the new suit entirely by guess work. It was only natural that he would make some mistake; and bo he had cut the trousers entirely too long. - , .

Young man, do you treat the eld erly man employed with you with respect, or do you fcej that be is weak and unsuccessful or he would not be in his particular job, conse quently he is to you somewhat of a joke:- Years ago this man may have had better prospects than you have, and unfortunate circumstances, possibly poor investments, may be the reason why he is still an employe. He may have had more ability than you have, but helpless ones to care for may have hung a mill-stone around his neck and he found no way to shift his responsibilities. Twenty," thirty, forty years from now do you think you will be able, to hold a job as good as the one this elderly man holds and upon whom you look down in such a would-bc superior way? The lack of courtesy you show hurts him. He may smile ant! try to make ex cuses for you evNJn tti his heart, but the hurt is there doubly strong from his own disappointment, that life should keep him down and that he must take insults from those who are really inferior, but at present have youth.
