14 THE BEE: OttAHA. IvtLDESDAY. APRIL 20, 1921. Holding 3 Husband Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife Why Did Dicky Return So Quickly? .vinnon a caruuing voice nuaica up the stairs to us a few seconds after ; Dicky, had refused definitely to hear even the nature of the news I wished to give him concerning my meeting with Grace Draper. ' "Auntie Madge! Uncle Dicky! Breakfast's til ready! Auntie Dur kie sent me over to tell you!" "There. I told you we'd be late!" Dicky exploded. "It's a shame to keep her waiting. Come on, don't dawdle." He snatched his hat and top coat and ran down the stairs ahead of me. I was indignant, of course, at his brusqueness, but my irritation was tempered by iny amusement at ' Dicky's glaring inconsistency. Last night he and Alfred had kept dinner waiting for two hours, and had upset my little neighbor's cherished plans without a qualm. This morning he was fuming over the delay of a min ute or two because he was able to blame me for it. A I reached the bottom of the stairs Dicky was setting Marion on her feet. The child, marvellously pretty in her wnite "middy' 'and trim blue skirt, with her fair bobbed hair topped with a perky blue bow, was flushed with the swing in the air which Dicky had given her. She ran o me for the kiss and warm hug which she knew was awaiting her. Dicky rubbed his arms ruefully, grinning at me above Marion's head. "Every day I swing thee lower," heparodied. "There's one thing cer tain, Marion, either you're gaining about 10 pounds a day or I'm getting old." "Who Said Muffins?" "I. guess I'll have to stop eating," the child laughed, as she danced across the lawn between us, one fcand in Dicky's, one in mind. I pressed the little hand tightly in subconscious ' srratitude that she had exorcised Dicky's irritable mood, even if she could not bring me the boon I craved a sign from Dicky that he, too, re membered it was our Jast morning together in the old home. , Little Mrs. Durkee, fresh as the morning in a dainty blue gown, with a housewifely little apron adding to her coquettish charm, greeted us warmly at the door, her pique of the night before evidently forgotten. I hold a tiny tarradiddic, sue laughed. "Breakfast won't be ready for about three minutes, but I wanted to be sure you'd be in time for Katie's muffins." "Who said muffins?'.' Alf. called from the stairway which he and Leila were descending. A few steps hehind them I saw Edith. With ouick instinctive ap prehension I noticed that while Leila. was attired in a morning gown ot pink linen, Edith was dressed for the street. Did she intend to go into the city again today? . The same thought evidently had come to Dicky. "Hello, Edel" he said with the charminar smile which he always gives every attractive woman. "Arc you going to give us the extreme pleasure of your oresence upon the 8:54?" t "Not this morning," she smiled back. "I'm going in the other direc tion to Cresthaveu for some little things I need." a : . , "Oh, Edith 1" Mrs. Durkee struck in plaintively, "Wouldn't it be pos sible for you to go to the city this morning? Couldn't you get the things you want there just as well as at Crcsthaven?" "Impossible!" Alf struck in grave ly. "The shops jn New York aren't onc-two-three with those of Crest haven." "Why. you silly boy, they are too!" Mrs. Durkee t cried, and looked amazed as. we all shouted, then, as she always does, she laughed with us at her own naivete. "Of course, I can go to s New York," Edith said quickly, a trifle too quickly my jealous heart said. "But I hadn't planned on it, so I'm afraid I can't make the 8:54." "Of course -u canj Dicky put in heartily. "If we ride down instead of walk, as we had intended, we can make it easily. Your car is in shape for -your journey; isn't it, Madge?, You can runus down, can't you?" z. I ''Of coursed .1 forced heartiness into my voice, even a smile in Edith's direction, but Katie's muffins, indeed,' every item of the delicious breakfast was like ashes in my mouth. I had counted upon this last walk ,with Dicky to the train. I knew that it would have been a tete-a-tete, for Leila I well knew, would have ac companied Alfred, her morning dress concealed beneath the modish silk walking coat of her trousseau. . Instead, the trip was a. hurried one, for the rest lingered over break fast, and Edith was late in starting. Leila decided against the flying trip to the station, so it was with Edith beside me, and Alfred and Dick in the back seat, that I rushed the car to the station,, arriving just -as the train waS pulling in. - Dicky did -not even kiss me good bye, Tso shorl.was the time accorded them. --f '. .' . With a r hasty "So long, -Madge, 'phone m if you want anything," he assisted 'Edith 'to: alight,; and the three rushed to the station, Dicky so assiduous in his effort to assist Edith that he .did not' even glance around at me. .w , . ' I bent - to my switch key for my engine had- stalled when I made the sudden stop, at the station but I could hardly see it for the tears that filled my eyes. And then, even above the noise of the train getting in mo tion, sounded a familiar whistle, and I turned my head tQ see Dicky hurry ing toward me. " . - (Continued Tomorrow.)

Color Symbols for Today By MILDRED MARSHALL. The lapis lazuli, today's talismanic stone, was formerly ot great re u artous sisnificance. In ancient Egypt, and also in Greece and Rome, it was much worn. In modern times it has come to be looked upon as a talisman that drives away melancholia; it is said that nobody can look long into its clear blue depths and remain un happy, 'j The topaz is the natal stone of those born on an anniversary of this day Like the lapis lazuli, it is symbolic of happiness, and is be lieved to drive away doubts and despondency. It is also said to have the poWer of protecting those whose birthstone it isy from evil influences and evil thoughts. Today's color is yellowy wearing it will bring happiness, especially in love.

Before , Drinking? . 1 " This custom, which was far more prevalent in the days before the en actment of the 18i amendment than it is at the present time, had its origin in the-same idea' of safety which led men to shake hands with the rights hand as an assurance that they were concealing no weap onand to raise the Helmet to wom en or others whom they respected. In the days when duelling was at its height,', it- was customary ,Jor the combatants to pause for a moment before taking their positions and drink a glass of wine-supplied by. the seconds.. In order to make cer tain that this wine had not been tampered with, one glass was filled to the brim and then half of its contents was emptied into the glass of the adversary,' so that' if any at tempt had been made to poison one of the duelists, each of them would be equally affected. ' .The .practice, reminiscent of the days of the ' Borgias, passed out along with the custom of the duel, but the habit of touching glasses or holding them up as if preparatory to touching them, remained ; as a silent reminder of the time when no man dared trust anybne but went always armed and "prepared for troubl.

Mr. Meadow Mouse Escapes. '. Grumpy Weasel ,did not like Solo mon Owl's offer to be umpire of the l':ole-;crawling .v contest between Mr. Meadow xMouse and himself. He hirsed a few times ,and glared at Solomon Owl, up in the hemlock tree. . Solomon Owl did not appear to mind that, but calmly outstared Grumpg Weasel lost his temper a once irumpy Weasel without once blink ing. "Are you both ready?" he asked presently. Yes, thank you! Mr. Meadow Mcuse answered. And Grumpy Weasel gave a sort of shrug, as if to say that he supposed he was First you may try that hole be tween those mossy stones," Mr. Owl announced, with a tilt of his head toward the wall. "Certainly P' cried Mr. Meadow Mouse. "You go first and I'll follow," Grumpy Weasel told him. And Mr. Meadow Mouse didnt dr.re disobey. He whiskd through the hole spryly and was back again in no time. Then Grumpy took his turn. He was certainly quicker than Mr. Meadow Mouse. Even the umpires Solomon Owl, had to admit that. But of course that s not the (.Gint," .Solomon observed. "It's the one that gets stuck in a hole that loses the contest." Well, after Grumpy, and Mr. Meadow Mouse had slipped through several hole?, each ne smaller than the one before, Mr. Meadow Mouse said that he thought it was only polite to let Grumpy go first. Secret ly; Mr. Meadow Mouse was afraid of what might happen if he should have the misfortune to get wedged in a hole, with Grumpy Weasel ready to fgllow himv He had had some trouble getting through the last one and'he knew .that he could. never squeeze through one that'was much, smaller. ' " , " ' ' ; V' . Grumpy Weasel' lost1 his temper at once. '. . " "I'll 'do as I please on my stone walll" he snapped. And he was angrier than ever when Solomon Owl snid to him, "It's your turn I" Prob ably no other of the woods people unless it was one of the Hawk fam ily could have made G. rumpy Wea sel obey. And now he insisted that if he "went first" he ought to be al lowed to choose whatever hole he plsised. ' ' Both Solomon Owl and Mr. Meadow -Mouse agreed. So Grumpy Weasel popped through a hole of lii? own choosing, and he did not re appear, though he called to Mr. Meadow Mouse to "come on." Mr. Meadow Mouse hung' back. "You'll have to excuse me," he stammered.. : "What's the matter?" bpomed Solomon Owl. "Do you want to lose tie contest?" "No!" said Mr. Meadow Mouse. ''But Grumpy Weasel is still inside that hole. . There's no other way cut" ' "How do you know?" Solomon Owl asked him. "Oh, I've been here before, often," Mr. Meadow Mouse replied. "Are you sure?" -Mr. Owl inquired 'I'll go on the other side of the wall and look," Mr. Meadovf Mousa offered. And thereupon he skipped over the wall. - Solomon Owl waited patiently, And so did Grumpy Weasel. But Mr. Meadow Mouse never came back Once out of sight he scampered away. And he never trespassed on Grumpy Weasel's hunting ground again. Copyright. Groseet 4; Dunlap. .ommon oense ' : By J. J. MUNDY. '; ', . Companionship.
