THkI BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY. MAKCH 31. lyiil. 12 u. U Holding a Husband Adele Garrison's Nev- PhtM of Revelations of a Wife The Amendment Lillian Made to Madge's Suggertion. Had Dicky brought back success or failure from his attempt to get back the house he had sold so im petuously? The. question, the ans wer to which meant so much to me, beat upon my excited brain a 1 stole noiselessly through the cur tains of the alcove and began to put on the dess I bad discarded for my rap. I m-? certain that I had mw.. 1:0 souno hich would rouse Lillian, but her tice sounded clearly, witli mocking ,ischief in it, from the bed: f ' "Please, ma'am, may I get up now?" I went to the windows, drew up the shade., and looked at her criti cally. "You do look rested,'r I comment ed. "But I wish you could have slept longer. What wakened Vou? Dicky's car, or I?"

How well those corsage bouquets of sweet peas have kept! I ve been sn.ffift.s5 their fragrance ever since I woke up. You're a wonder, my dear. I shall be so spoiled I won t know how to do anything when I get back homa again. "Dicky would say . there was a 'fat chance' of ever spoiling you," I re torted. "I'll permit you to get up on one condition that vou let me bring you a cup of hot milk before you come downstairs. "You're a Wonder." "One would think" Lillian began a bit indignantly, then laughed in dulgently. "But I. promised to be good, didn't I. However, please let me make this amendment. As soon as I get dressed I'll go down to the kitchen and get the hot milk from Katie." ' There was an inflection . ii he voice that warned me not to' carry my "babying", of her too far, and I hastily assented to her "amend ment" . "Of course, if you'd rather," I said hastily. "And then do come and help me calm down Dicky if he hasn't succeeded in getting back the house. I do hope he has." "You little " Lillian began with an amused laugh, then she sudden ly switched from the epithet I felt she meant playfully to give me to a crisp. "Well, he hasn't!" turned front me to the mirror and' began putting, up her hair. . . My cheeks burned as I maje my way downstairs. With something less than her usual tactfulness, Lil lian almost had signified her know ledge of my real feeling toward Dicky's errand. That she had guessed also, the reason for that feeling I was -sure, and the Knowledge made me uncomfortable. My foolish jealousy of Edith Fairfax was a feeling I was not willing for even so true a friend as Lillian to discover. I met Dicky in the hall. A glance at his face told me he was in a bad humor, so I forbore to question him. T..

"I'm nearly carved." i "H ought to be nearlv ready," I ' replied sedately. "I'll ask Katie." . I escaped as quickly as I could to the kitchen. I have been long enough married, thoroughly to have tested the time-honored rule of "feed the brute." I resolved to im press Katie as tactfully as possible with the necessity of hurrying up the luncheon. . - "Mr. Graham has just come home very tired and hungry, Katie," I began. - Sure.

Katie's experience of Dicky's moods an tedates my own, that she once did the housework of an apartment Dicky shared with three other art ists. Bttt it is something of which Katie is quite innocently proud, and her manner as she spoke of his foi bles wis ludicrously but distinctly maternal.. "Is there anything I can do?"

Tommy could hear him vhaying joy fully as he followed. Bu you may be sure that Tommy wasnot joyful. He was terribly frightened. He could think of nothing to do ex cept to run, run, run! as fast as he could go. He was headed straight for-home, and he only hoped , that he would get there before the dog Spot caught him. . Now, Tommy was doing just about the worst thing he could do. He never once jumped sideways, or ran around in a circle. jncr6b0USn he mieht have waded aAn,,i- ..v in he shallow" brook "in ' the meadow! where Spot would have lost his trail. Tommy used the bridge to get across the stream; so the dE Spot had no trouble. at all in following him. And Spot kept rawing nearer and nearer. It happened that Mrsvtox heard the baying of the dog. And she knew what Spot was saying. He was crying "I've almost got him! I've almost got him!" " A shiver passed over Mrs. Fox; for she thought at once of Tommy. He was" not at hpme, and she wondered if by any chance he was in trouble. She hurried through theL field to see who it was that Spot was chasjng. And sure .enough! pretty soon Mrs. b ox saw lommj come tearing, through the held, panting hard, with his tongue hang ing our, ana a most irigmenea iouk. upon his face. Mrs. Fox 'hastened to meet him. The dog Spot was then on the other side of a low hill, and running along with his nose, to the ground. ' Jump! Mrs. Fox said to Tommy, as soon as he joined her.

She stopped just long enough to fee Tommy dash off; and then she started right in the opposite direc tion. , - The dog Spoltsaw her and gave a yelp of delight. He did not know what had been happening. He only thought that no he was going to catch the foxi which was the stupidest fox he had ever chased, running, as ' it did, . straight away, with never a leap; or a circle, or any other sort of trick to fool him. Little did Spot guess that old Mrs: Fox had not the slightest idea of being caught. Sha had been fol lowed by Spot himself many times; and she knew exactly how to escape him.. She jusf lingered for a few moments, to make sure that Tommy was safe,, and that ..pot was chasing her. And then how she did run! In no time at all she left Spot far behind. V ' Now, Mrs. FoiL knew that there was a ploughed ftfld nearby, and that was just what lie wanted. She scampered towards lfeat great speed and went straight acVss it. . And when sfie had reached ie other side of the ploughed groun , she sat down for a short breathing spell. You see, Mrs. Fox wa: very wise indeed.. She knew thatfj. in dry weather, such as there .vfk then, a ploughed field takes no scljit at all. She knew' that when Spofe reached that loose dirt Spot could rkt smell her footsteps. And so she sjust sat there on her haunches, andlcaught her breath again. V A grim smilecrossed Mrs! Fox's i'ww aiWestAstesg jaw, in the distance. It was a very dit- ferentr bark from what she had heard ' when he was chasing Tommy. This time Spot was saying, Oh, dear! oh.'dearf I've lost him" over and over again - - ' ' When Mrs. t ox reached home she found Tommy safe inside their housp. He was crying, because he was afraid he would never see his mother again. And after his mother found out how Spot had happened to chase him,. Tommy cried some more but for an entirely different reason. ' Who can guess what the reason was? : ' (Copyright, Goaset & Dunlap.)

Among the superstitious, peacock's feathers have a bad reputation. In England and the United States it i a common belief that to keep them in the house for decorative purposes portends disasterous events; and that i: there are daughters in the family the girls will never be married as long as the ill-omend feathers are a I'.n t of the household adornments. These superstitions are survival;' from the ancient cult of Juno to whom tlir peacock was sacred and by whiili the Romans represented the goddess in many of their paint ings and sculptures made for pro tective Pin noses. Klwiirthv savi ! with regard to the superstition that peacock feathers bring bad luck that juno's "anger is excited in some -way by the plucking of the feathers of her favorite bitfl, while the idea that so" long as they aie kept in the house no suitor will come for the (laughters points to the old attribute of spite and jealousy in love or ma trimonial matters with which the f-oddess was always accredited." - ICopyrlgbt, 1921, by Th McClure Newa Imner SymJlcatrt. ) I'HOTOIM.AVS.
