Holding a Husband
Add Garrison! New Phaio of
Revelations of a Wife
. What Mm. Durket Admitted.
"I you'll pardon rat," said Edith
Fairfax, as we finally took a reluc
tant leave of the fascinating studio
apartment she had fashioned out of
the useless "servants' quarters" in
the Durkee house, "I'll stay here for.
a ,few minutes. There are a few lit
tle1 last things I want to do while
it's light. You won't need me to help
with the dinner for a half-hour or so,
will you?"
She addressed Mrs. IWkec cour
teously enough, but I noticed that
both her manner and look held more
than a tinge of formality and
-Viillinoc T reaVtvpA th.it nhe was

... . 7 . e i r .t A
still strongly rescnttui ot me aisre
gard of Leliats tastes shown by Mrs.
Durkee in the t arrangement of her
new daughter'-inJaw's room. My lit
tle neighbor's manner was equally
(stiff, though her words were evident
ly meant to be heartily cordial.
"I shan't need you at all," she
said. "You helped with everything
this afternoon, even to setting the
table. There isn't a thing to do ex
cept the final touches, and those I'd
rather do alone, anyway. I'm used to
it. So you can have all the time until
1 call you for dinner."
"Thank you," the girl returned
rather non-committally, and 1 saw
little Mrs. Durkee's pretty brows
knit in puzzled irritation as we left;
the room. -
She said nothing, however, until
we had , again reached the room
" she had prepared for her son's bride.
Then, as if with a sudden determina
tion, she closed the door of it after.
"Sit down here, both of you, and
tell me what I can do about this
room," she said pettishly, but with
a note of determination in her voice.
r My Dulses gave a little leap. So
her heart after all had triumphed! I
wanted to go over and hug her, but i
1 did not dare risk any demonstra- j
tton which might load her to think
i i i j : i i r . ... - 1

While I hesitated, puzzled what to
say, Lillian spoke, doubtfully.
"It seems such a pity to touch it,"
she said. "It is so pcrefct. Do you
really think you ought"
1 flashed her a glance of awed ad
miration. How had she known so
unerringly how to strike exactly the
rielit note with ny little neighbor?
Enthusiastic acceptance of her de-

new-born ardor of Her Fuffiness.
This subtle recognition of the sacri
fice she was making, this touch of op
position, was just what she needed to
crvstallize her determination.
- Her Fluffiness sighed prodigiously.
"I know," she said, the ready tears
of self-pity, starting to her eyes. "But
I simply must. I truly never thought
of Leila's favorite color being pink
when I fixed that room. And I can
see just how it will be. Alf will be
buying her alt sorts of pink roses and
they won't go with it, and her house
gowns are all rose color. I don't
know why I didn't think of all this
before." - : - . -
Grimly to myself I 'said that I
shared her wopderment, but 1 knew
it was no time to indulge in even
mental criticism. All our faculties
must be bent toward the task to
which I saw my little neighbor had
already committed herself. ;
. "To think how much I spent on
those things I" she was lamenting.
Tie wanted my own room done over
for so long, but never thought I
could afford it, and now this is all
wasted." '' - ' - : ,' ' -
"Why?" Lillian asked laconically,
and again I felt a leap of my pulses.
When Lillian speaks in that tone I
always know that she has outlined
her course of actioii and is ready to
put herself and, incidentally, every
body around her into harness.
"Why what do you mean?" Mrs.
Durkes faltered. !-
"Tell me, the truth, now," Lillian
smiled. ' "Aren't these your favo
rite colors?" - i
She waved her hand toward the
drlicate cream and olive draperies.
V'c tViov ari" Mrs r)itrL- ad
mitted, "but I honestly didn't think
of that when I selected them." '
J'Of course.- you- didn't," Lillian
soothed. "I simply judged by my
own experience and observation- of
nilier npnnir . Doesn't evervbodv ill
this wourld subconsciously select for
Christmas and birthday and wed
ding gifts the things they like them
selves? It's the same principle, and
hi this case it is fe-rtunate because,
if -my eyes aren't at fault, these
'draperies will exactly fit your win
dows, and the rugs will do beautiful
ly on your floors." v,
'"But" they're coding home tomor
row night 1" Mrs. liarkes Availed.
- Lillian cupped her chin in her
palm? and put her elbows on her
to keep sitence. for I knew what
that pose meant. Another, minute
or two, she raised her head with an
air of assurance, and I knew that
the minutest - details xof whatever
plan she had in mind were all mar
shalled in order. ' .
a- "You have a sewing machine?"
ti a tit-p. -1 . .
"Yes, and Leila's is here. too. She
had it sent out when she was mak-J
in her trousseau." . .
:"Your's is in order, Madge?"
. "t hope so," I said, with a
thought of the traces of vandalism
which I had found in my home that
morning." '"' r '
, "You'd better go over and see to
it-as soon as I've telephoned." she
said. "Do you want to hear my
plan?" - . .

Romance in Origin
. Of Superstihons
; The name "Ash Wednesday" has
a general application to the sack
cloth and ashes so frequently men
tioned in the Old Testament, but a
more particular one to the ceremony
of the Roman Catholic and other
churches in placing the leaves from
palm branches consecrated on the
previous Palm" Sunday upon the
foreheads .of the congregation. . v
Originally, the ashes were given
only to public penitents who ap
peared bare-footed before the church
door on the first day of Lent. After
penance had been imposed on them,
the penitents were admitted to the
church and brought before the
bishop, who ; put ashes upon their
heads, with the. words, "Remember,
man, that thou art dust and unto
dust thou shatt return." It gradual
ly became the ; custom for friends
and relatives to join the penitents in
this ceremony, and in time, the num
bers of. the crowd became sd; large
that the administration of ashes was
extended to the entire congregation,.!
and the .rite assumed its; prescnt
form. ' ' " - ' . ,
Ash Wednesday, however, was
not always included with the Lenten
season. During tire fifth and-sixth
centuries Lent began on the Sunday
following Ash Wednesday, but" the
change, was .made in order that the
Lenten fast might continue for pre
cisely forty days (exclusive of Sun
days),' ending on the eve of Easter.

nothing of W'hat he - saw. And
when the rain-drops began to patter
on top of Grandfather Mole's sun
shade Mr. Meadow Mouse cried out
in a brisk voice: "I'll thank you,
sir, for the loan of your umbrella!"
' Now, Grandfather Mole had never
used his umbrella ' until that very
day. It was not a quarter of an
hour since he ' had discovered it
standing in the garden. , And when
he had made - his promise to Mr.
Meadow Mouse he had had .; no
idea-that it was going to rain' so
soon. , i He didn't like the thought
of loaning a new umbrtilla the first
dav he owned it.
"Can't you wait?" he asked Mr.
Meadow Mouse. "Wouldn't some
other day suit you just as well?"
But Mr. Meadow Mouse re
minded him that a promise was a
promise. .. . t ' ' " x
"Well, then can't you squeeze iu

asked him. ' : , f - , - f
But Mr. Meadow Mouse said that
he didn't see how he could do that.
"Xow that it rains' there's no more
room under your umbrella than
there was a few moments ago,
when the sun was shining."
"You're mistaken," said Grand
father Mole." ' " '
Mr. Meadowy Mouse looked' sur
prised. "I don't understand how
that can be," he muttered. ; t
"This toadstool is growing bigger
all the time," Grandfather Mole ex
plained. " i : '
"Very , well!" said Mr. Meadow
Mouse. "If you think there's room
for two, I'll crowd in." As he
spoke he wedged himself between

natural color and beauty to the hair.
, A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly, that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and .draw-this through your hahv

it becomes beautifully dark and

well; and he said as much, too. -
"It's plain that your umbrella
didn't grow, as much as y.ou
thought," Mr. Meadow Mouse re
torted. ;J. .
VYou're mistaken Grandfather
Mole 'told him Once more. "My
umbrella grew exactly as much as I
expected it would. But there was
one thing I forgot."
"What was that?';
"You were growing' at the same
time," Grandfather Mole replied.
"Yes! And there's another thing
that- you forgot!" Mr. Meadow
Mouse exclaimed.
'T doubt it," said Grandfather
Mole. And though he didn't ask
what it was, Mr. Meadow Mouse
told him. - .
"You were growing too!" he cried.
But Grandfather Mole couldn't
agree with Mr. Meadow Mouse.
"I'm too old to grow any more,"
he said. .
"Pardon mt". said Mr. Meadow
Mouse, "but I don't see how a per
son with your Weil known appetite
can help growing fat. And any
how I'm' sorry "you're out ' in ' the
rain. But it's certainly not my
fault."- ' ,t
"We won't discuss that," . Grand
fathcr Mole told him. "And' since
I don't want to get wet I'm -going
home . . ;. I hope you'll take I
good care of my new sunshade. And
please don t forget to return it! he
added anxiously.
"I'll leave it right here for you,"
Mr. Meadow Mouse promised. ,
Though Grandfather Mole was far
from satisfied he crawled into the
ground and left Mr. Meadow, Mouse
to enjoy the rain pattering, on the
top of the toadstool. And the next
day, to his great relief, Grandfather
Mole found his sunshade in the same
spot. Mr. Meadow Mouse hadn't
taken it away. To tell the truth,
he had tried to; but he had found
that he couldn't move it. -r GrantlT
father Mole said it was the first
sunshade that a borrower had ever
returned to him.
And that was the truth. For he
had never owned a sunshade before.

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN
QUICKLY SOOTHED
WITH SULPHUR
'Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe .and heal skin that is ir
ritated or broken out with eczema;
that is covered with ugly rash or
pimples, or is rough or dry. Noth
ing subdues fiery skin eruptions so
quickly, says a noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur prep
aration is applied the itching stops
and after two or three applications,
the eczema is gone and the skin is
delightfully clear and smooth.
Sulphur is so precious as a skin
remedy because it destroys the para
sites that cause the burning, itching
or disfigurement. Mentho-Sulphur
always heals eczema right up.
A small jar of Mentho-Sulphur
may; be had at. any good drug store.
