THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1921
HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
The Things Madge Found in the
House to Which She Went
Atone.
As I backed the car out of the
garage and swung it toward the road
I was nfore disturbed than I cared
to admit by Katie's prophecy that I
"might laugh on oder side of face"
before 1 came back from my trip to
the house, concerning the sale of
which I had just received a tele
phone message. But as I sped along
through th - bracing, wouderful
spring air my common sense as
serted itself, and 'I -.laughed aloud
at poor Katie's movie-born theories.
Following minutely the directions
which the girl had1 given me over
the telephone, I soon came to the
property which 1 judged to be the
one described to me. The road it
faced was a winding, rather pic
turesque one. and the nearest house
in any direction from the one in
front of which I drew up my car
was a small, tumble-down struc
ture, at least five hundred feet down
the road. The property itself, I dcr
cided in a swiff, comprehensive sur
vey, was not half-bad. being attrac
tively landscaped with drives and
groupings of pines and shrubs. Near
ly an acre of ground surrounded the
house, which was a frame structure,
with plenty of . veranda room and
many windows.
1 received tio answer to my knock
ing on the front door, so I went to
the side door. ' Through t'.ie glass
I saw a slender, middle-aged, red
haired woman sitting in a rocking
chair, looking vacantly through the
window. .She paid no attention to
my first knock, and as I repeated it
more loudly the thought crossed my
mind that she must be deaf. At the
ccond knock, however, she looked
up with annoyance mingled with the
stupidity mirrored on her face, and
as she moved toward the door I
saw that' her feet were shoeless,
'through the golf hose that covered
them were of the finest quality, the
most fashionable shade.
I saw something else. too. as she
opened the door, or rather mv nose
told me first, as I caught a whiff of
her breath. Her look of stupidity
was explained. She had beeu drink
ing and that rather heavily. If my
brain had not issued a peremptory,
command to my feet to stay where
they were I am afraid they would
have carried me precipitately down
the steps. I dread, infinitely, the
proximity of a drunken person.
Strang Tenants
"What do you want?" she asked,
with the slow, hesitant articulation
of the person who knows that speech
is unsteady and betraying..
"I am afraid I have the wrong
house," I yid, glad of any excuse to
get away. "I am Mrs. Richard Gra
hani of Marvin, and some one tele
phoned me an hour ago that a cer
tain property was for sale. 1"
"Oh I" She surveyed mv owlishlv
after the exclamation. "Thash all
right. A girl was here somewhere
" she looked about vacantly "and
she did telephone, and told me you'd
be here, and that I was to what
did she tell me I was to do" she
demanded, gimleting her eyes into
mine.
"Perhaps to show the house," I
ventured, beginning to see that there
was nothing to fear, much to pity in
the ridiculous but pathetic figure be
fore me.
"Thash it," she exclaimed, evi
dently relieved. "Weill come along.
I'll show it to you."
"Do you live here?" I asked.
She turned a suspicious look on
me.
"Where else .should I live?"4 she
demanded irritably, then fell again
into her heaviness of manner. "Yes,
I live here, me and my little dogs,
and mv husband," she added, evi
dently as an after-thought.
J hat she was a breeder and fan
cier of thoroughbred dogs I saw be
fore we had proceeded, a few steps
from the room I had entered, liny
woolly dogs were everywhere, sick
ones in baskets, mothers with litters
of puppies on soft "beds in boxes,
groups of others in improvised ken
nels in the kitchen, while from the
miner regions proceeded the yap
ping of others. And yet, to do her
justice, she had managed her kennels
so well that she had not -spoiled the
house as. I had at first decided she
must have done. -
I followed her from room to room,
now deciding that the house would
never do, again admiring some fea
ture of it, wondering if we could not
make it do. 1 put some judicious
questions to her. She. stopped and
leaned against a window, regarding
me with the owlish look I had found
so ludicrous.
"Xow, I'm not try in' to knock the
house y'understand," she said solemn
ly, "but I've taken a fancy to you,
dearie, and I'm not goinj to let the
agent put anything over en vou.
In the first place, don't you think
if the house was any good we'd have
bought it? Had the money to pay
cash for it. But the plumbing is
awful, all old and falling to pieces
and we ve burned twenty tons of
coal so far, and it's a mild winter,
too. and the neighbor on one side is
going to turn her place into a pig
gery this summer, hundreds of pigs,
and the man on the other side is a
truck gardener, and he piles loads
of fertilizer next the fence brings
loads of flies "
A Surprise
I interrupted her. with a little
shudder of disgust.
"Thank vou so much tor telling i
me these things, I said. "Of course
I shall not want the house. And 1
must not keep you longer."
"There was something else I was
to tell you." she said vacantly, "but
I can't think what it was."
"Never mind about it now, Lin
da." a voice that I recognized said,
behind me. "I'll tell Mrs. Graham
the rest."
I wheeled, to look into the face of
Grace Draper.

oration. But the moment air starts
to move across a hot or cold surface,
it immediately absorbs some of the
heat or coldness, carrying at least
a portion of this with it on its jour
ney. The "north wind," of course,
has swept over some position of the
earth which is almost certainty cold
er than the section toward which
it blows, and, similarly, the "south
wind brings with it come of the
warmth of the earth ncatcd by the
more direct rays of the sun. Wind
has its origin in the inequalities of
temperature, which, in turn, lead to
more or less rapid' alterations of the
air, the heated portion of the at
mosphere tending to rise upward,
and the colder portion dropping to
ward the earth. Nature strives al
ways for an equality, and the warm
breezes and cold blasts are one of
the ways in which she tends to
equalize matters.

WHY
Are Some Winds Hot and Others
Cold?
Like man, nature can "blow hot
or cold" with the same breath,
though it is sometimes amazing to
note the difference in temperature
between winds of equal velocity but
widely varying degrees of heat. But,
when we think of a cold, piercing
gale, the words "north wind" im
mediately, come into our minds, and,
similarly, a hot dry movement of
the air causes us to think of a
"south wind" and in the names
themselves lies the explanation of
much of the .variation in tempera
ture. ' ' '
If it were 'possible to have a wind
which had not passed oyer any por
tion of the earth, or had not been
changed in temperature by reason
of the altitude or other contributing
cause, we would find that it as noth
ing more than a movement of the
air which, of itself -and by itself,
differs not at all from the surround
ing atmosphere. The wind would be
neither, hot nor cold, though its ef
fect would be cooling on account of
the way in which it stimulated evap-
Raz Barlow left everybody at the

Take a teacupful of snow; melt it,
and look at the result. Snow looks
white, but, unforunately, that white
ness does not mean cleanliness. As
the snaiv falls, it catches the dust
and germs in the air. Children
should not eat dust and germs 1
