Holding a Husband
Adele Garrison's Ne. Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
The Wager Dicky Made and at Lait
Was Forced to Pay.
Lillian cast a swift, fuiive glance
at me as Dicky airily suggested my
looking for "two or three places
close together" in order that tht
Durkees migh move near us if the
new neighbors should proved too un
bearable. I knew that her thoughts
had leaped to the same possibility as
mine, that of Edith Fairfax contin
uing to live in my vicinity. But with
Dicky's eyes upon me I gave no in
dication that I had caught her
glance or that his suggestion eithei
ruffled or interested roe.
"I'll be glad to look out for them,"
I said sedately, "although from what
Lillian tells me, I'm afraid we shali
have to go far afield unless we take
something inferior to the home
here."
Dicky's jaw set stubbornly.
'Well, if I can't get something
as good or better than this I'll in
vest the money and we'll rent for
awhile '
"May I ask where?" Lillian in
terposed dryly. "I've been told it's
Hard to get even a ' respectable
chicken coop in which to set uu
light housekeeping."
"Oh, you'll hear that rot all
over Dicky returned, with the la
curable optimism of a man whose
women folk" are going to perform
some task for him. "That's just a
oodge of the real estate men. If
you hum around and don't let those
slick suburban real cstaters pull
wool over your eyes you'll find
dozens of places."
Dick's Requirements.
. 'j&'l'.I? lay a Iit,,e waer- Dicky
nd. Lillian asked suddenly, and I
knew by tire flash in her eyes'that she
nail evolved some scheme for ef
factually spiking Dicky's guns of
censure and ridicule if we failed in
our quest for a suitable home within
commuting distance.
' Sure thing," Dicky grinned amia-
"Well, then, you furnish us a list
of real estate agents in all the Lot)
island commuting towns"
"What the , why, there are
dozens of places I wouldn't live in
it they paid me a $1,000 a week to do
hi bmug, new places, with every
house like every one"
"Don't worry, nobody's going to
pay you to live anywhere," Lillian
irom the other direction. But you"

light of your presence. Then Madge

interview each proprietor of the local

"The Bet Is On."
"Buy me a perfectly, sweet, knitted
necktie or a cake of shaving soap,"
Dicky interrupted rudely. "But I'll
go you just for the sake of proving
rie list.
'T We'll stand you a dinner and a
PJay of your own selection." T.ilHnn
went on imperturbably as if he
hadn t spoken. "The list you may
furnish in installments if you wish,
but the first, comprising any part of
the Sound section that can be done
by auto in a day, we want tomorrow
morning. This afternoon we'll do
Garden City and Westbury."
"Pretty big order for one after
noon, isn't it?" Dicky asked.
f'Kot with your requirements,"
Lillian returned promptly. "They
eliminate all the small houses, and,
of course, all the big estates. As I
understand it. you want a 10 or 12
room house with an acre of ground."
"An acre at least," Dicky assented,
"and fireplaces-, and at least SO years
old., None of your modern stuff for
me,' unless, of course, it's a repro
duction of the colonial."
Lillian smiled whimsically. . "

ings in any locality," she said. ; "AH
right. Dicky-bird. The bet is on,
then?" . - .
Dicky made a ceremonious obeis
ance. "The bet is on," he repeated. "And
don't you believe but what I'll hold
you pirls to your wager. I can taste
that dinner now."
'Xo doubt you can," retorted Lil
lian dryly. "But I'd advise you to
put aside something to settle the bill
for it. There's about as much chance
of our finding anything that will meet
your requirements as there is of your
being suited with it when we do
find it."

had given me every village Dicky had
listed. We interviewed agents
haughty and agents eager. We
weeded out the places which were
out of the question, conscientiously
inspected those which appeared to
come near Dicky's requirements, and
the result of our quest was a list of
tnree places which we drove Dicky
to see, each of which he rejected
with contumely.
"Well, I'll throw up my hands!"
he said, as we drove away from a
village on the sound which he had
especially fancied, and which, to vise
his own expression, we had "fine-tooth-combed
thoroughly," with, his
assistance both ' Lillian and I -insisted
that he do one typical village
himself in order to be convinced of
conditions. "The places we want are
way beyond the means of anybody
but a war profiteer, and the places
we can get, the devil wouldn't lave.

Omaha;" that he is in his office :n
Chicago and is "very busy," and he
added the belief that Jenkinson will
be at the train when the OBricn
party reaches Chicago.
ilr. O'Brien also stated that while

the furniture business in Chicago,
did not wish to discuss the affairs
Of Jenkinson more than to venture
an opinion that the enterprising pas
