Holding a Husband
Allele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
The News That Dicky Reluctantly
Told.
1 v.j j nib'uing a chilled bowl with
a clove of gaeV, my invariable
preparation fur a French salaj
dressing when Lilli.;n entered the
Kitchen. 1 l.ncv. that she had cone
in obedience Ij my prescription of a
cup of hot mil!; after Vcr nafl, and 1
hastened to absolve her.
"I'll let yon off that." 1 laughed.
"I didn't know how near luncheon
nine it was when 1 issued my tilti
uialuiu.'' , "Merci. niadame !' Jihe came switt
1 toward me, nitlinar disdainfully.
"You. and our garlic!"
laughed. I take oh my hat to yon,
Madge. It fives just the riKht taste
to tlie circling 1 love your dress
ingsbut. I wouldn't handle the sail:
on a bet.. It is one of my pet
ieii,ui- But 1 have a dcep r..
iett ior it. Jut rubbhig a bovl
that way invests the whole dressing
uiih jusl the right proportionate
Mayor.
"I usually do something more than
that," 1 confessed. "W hen the dress
ing is linished I pour it into the half
oi a Rreen pepper which contains the
seeds, and into which I have slipped
a bit of garlic. When I drain the
dressing niter live or 10 minute ii
has traces of both the pepper seeds
and the garlic." ,
As I talked I measured salt, pep
per, cayenne, paprika and dry mus
tard, stirred them together, added
olive oil, and finally lemon Juice, very
slow !'.
'So that's the secret oi that dress
ing ot yours," Lillian commented.
"I've scon you put the stuff into the
green pepper, but never noticed .the
jtarlic. Well, you're certainly justi
fied! Did you see Dicky?"
"Yes. I think, he's gone to wash
up for luncheon. want to gef it on
ilii" table as soon as I can."
Lillian Riinned coniprehendingly.
"Wise lady," she murmured. '"Is
there anything 1 can do;"
"I think not." 1 linished the salad,
and turned to Katie.
"We're ready whenever vou arv.
Katie."
"I've Been so Lonesome."
"Dcsc chops, dey fecx pretty
)iieeek now," she returned. "You '.
get everybody to table, den I serve." '
Lillian followed me to the little i
lavatory on the lower floor, where,
with a handhrush and much scrub
bing I removed the traces of thv
garlic from my fingers. '
"You don't know what Dickx
found out, I infer," she said anx
iottsly.
"I didn't dare to ask him," J, con
fessed, smiling. i
"Then it's all right he didn't sue !
cecd. T.itt I'm dying to hear the ;
story of his encounter with that i
woman if he'll only tell the truth I
about it." '
, As we came back into the dtnitia I
jooju we louna uickv declaiming
impressively to, Marion, while the
child giggled appreciatively.
"I certainly shall begin luncheon
on you." he was saying, "if Katie
ioesn"t hurry up. It will grieve me
terribly, but"
"Then you'll be just like the wal
itis, I nrle Dicky!" Marion exclaim
ed delightedly. Don't vou remem
ber" She caught sight of her mother,
and with Lewis Carroll forgotten,
dashed across the room to her.
"I've been so lonesome, Mumsie."
she said with her arms around Lil
lian's waist. "Katie said vou were
busy writing, so I didn't come near
you.
That's my own sweetheart." I
heard Lillian murmur, "and vou
shan't be away from me another
minute today if you don't wish to."
"Everything Is Forgiven."
"As if I'd wish to." the child re
turned, lookino- mi at lier
lace with an adoration equalled only
by Lillian's returned look. I shiv
ered a bit at, this glimpse of the
unusually intense interdependence of
the mother and child, for my con
cern over Lillian prompted the men
tal question. "Suppose something
should happen?"
Katies entrance with the dinner
wagon was a most welcome diver
sion. Marion sprang ro pull out her
mother's chair, an otlice which she
relinquishes only, on formal occa
sons. Dicky performed the same
service .(or me, and we Averc soon
discussing with relish Dicky, - at
least, with avidity Katie's appctu-
. iug viands.
' I here was very little conversation
during the meal, and (bat perfunc
tory, but when Dicky had disposed
oi a second baked apple with cream
the last course of the luncheon
lie eyed Lillian and me with "a re
luctant grin.
"Strange what a good meal will
do for a disposition," he said. "When
1 Came in today I could have
shewed tip one perfectly good wife
without any compunction, although
1 must admit with some reason. But
now everything is forgiven. . You
are restored to my tieart, Madge.
. You are also avenged of any little
annoyances I may have caused vou.
I've been interviewing that Jezebel
who is to be your successor as mis
tress of this house, and. believe you
inc. I'm glad J escaped with my
life!"
I made no reply whatever to -this
speech, so (earful was 1 that Dicky
might twist it into some toTm. of the
"I told you so" with which he eo
often twisted me. - Lillian stepped
into the breach with a drawling
comment:
"I may infer, then, that the lady
iidn't look with any favor upon a j
proposal to turn back the house?"
For a second or two the face '
'jcky turned toward her held a black
kov.! of irritation. But the next in
stant it had vanished and ad given
place to a broad grin.
"Your inference is eminently cor-
. rect. The only thing that dame was
looking tor was a shotgun or a
bottle of vitriol, although the devil
l-.nows her tongue held enough dis
tilled essence of the latter commod
ity to fill a gallon can. She certain

Her Flut'finess just love her as a next

haps Alf and Leila will come to then
senses and be w illing to sell 'their

or three places together, and we'll

TROUBLE
The cat is on the pantry shelf
With eyes that bulge with fright:
The Airedale pup has hid himselt
Somewhere far but of sight;
The little kids their lesson learn
And neither romp nor sport,
For father's income tax return
Was forty dollars short.
It took a week to make it out
And mother, in despair,
Would say, "Vou must not stay about
And hear your father swear."
He'd pull his hair with frightful yanks
Until it was a sight;
He spoiled half a dozen blanks
Before he got it right.
And when at last he put it in
The big long envelope.
He said to mother, with a grin.
"Well, that is done, I hope."
But yesterday a letter came,
And gosh, how father swore,
When he found in it was a claim
For forty dollars more.
He's locked up in his bedroom now
And won't come out at all,'
And mother simply won't allow
The kids to cross the hall.
And everybody's frightened stiff,
While every now and then -I
hey wonder what will happen if
He gets it wrong again.

Where It Started
Wood-Engraving.
Wood-engraving is supposed to
have started in Europe at the close
or the 14th century. The oldest.
aatcQ wooa-cut is a picture of St.
Christopher, dated 1425. Some- au
thorities hold that the invention of
playing cards, led to the invention
of wood-engraving, but this is not a
certain fact.

Jewel,. Flower. Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
The coral is' today's talismanic
stone, and the ancients believed
that it was especially lucky for those
who were ill. since it is symbolic of
strength and vitality. It is also a
protection against fatigue and con
tagious diseases, but only an un
broken piece of it acts as a talisman;
tt broken, its powers are lost.
ine natal stone ot those born on
an anniversary of this day is the
! amethyst; it endows its wearers, with
j good sense, and counteracts a' ten
dency toward ffivolousness. and also
has curative powers. The ancients
sometimes crushed it and gave it as
; i: powder to those who were ill. i
1 oday s color is coral pink, said
to bring wearer good health and the
power to resist disease.
The red rose, symbolic of cheer
fulness, is today's flower. ,

And just for excitement Tommy
began to worry Farmer Green's
Spot. le delighted in barking at
Spot. And Spot would alvvavs stop
what he was doing and rush pell
mell after Tommy Fox.
Then Tommy would skip away
with a laugh. First he always ran
for the river, and jumped from one
stone to another, and waded where
the water was shallow. Then he
would dash off through the meadows,
leaving so crooked a trail behind
him that when Spot at last found
the place where Tommy had left the
I river, he never could follow him very
! far.
But one day Tommy stumbled
upon Spot quite by accident. There
was 110 wind at all that day to bring
any scent to Tommy's sharp nose.
And he suddenly found that Spot
was right in front of him, between
him and the river.
Tommy Fox turned and ran. He
laughed, too; because he felt quite
sure that he could outwit old Spot.
And he leaped and twisted and
turned about, and njade so many
circles that he felt sure Spot couldn't
follow him.
Yes Tommy felt so rsafe that he
stopped running and was trotting
slowly along through the field in
which he lived. He was almost

for the practice has yet to be dis- '

One theory traces it, to an allusion
to Xoah's sending the dove out of

Another refers to the miracic plavs
representing the sending of Chri.-.t
from Annas to Caiaphas and from
Tilate to Herod, while still another
claims that the lestival is due to the
change made in France, in 1504. of I

left April 1 without its former
merry-making. Recently an attempt
has been made to identify the custom
with the Hindu festival of Huli. and
