18 THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. MAY 7. till!!. Holding a Husband Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife Wouldn't jou think Mrs. Ticer would know by this time that the word 'quirk' hn't in her husband's vocabulary?" Lillian turned from the window, framing a charnitng picture of rolling meadow and woods, and smiled at jne undcrstandingly. "Women never learn, do they?" she countered. "But do you know, I noticed last year that despite his de liberate movements, he gets through un astonishing amount of work " "When he does work,", I finished. '. Lillian laughed outright. "You mean when he changes his wcrk," she said gaily. "I suspect that you and I might call a day's handing of a heavy rowboat while fish'ng, quite a day's work." "But he'll leave any job, noJiiattcr lio.v important, if "he thinks the fish are running," I protested a bit indig nantly, for I had grown quite fond of Mrs. Ticer the .summer before, and I k-.icw that the dilatory ways of he spouse tried her sorely. "Don't he too hard on him. Madge," Lillian said lightly. "Make some allowance for temperament and the roving foot. If he had had a different, environment, Sam Ticer might have been one of our leading near-thinkers, with money enough ta drop everything for a fishing trip at any moment." "He doesn't need money to do that," I grumbled. "That's the easiest thing he does." Lillian laughed and turned to the window again. Here's Jerry." "I see you have brought your inex orable measuring stick with you," she said gayly, as if the words were only a jest. But the color flamed in stantly in my cheeks, for I suspected that beneath the apparently casual words lay disapproval (Jf the too rigid standard by which I often judije people. . There was no opportunity, how ever, either for retort or question, for a knock at the door heralded the arrival of Sam Ticer and his son, Jcny. "We can't cross the doorsill, for Wad give us Hail Columbia on ac count of the mud on our boots," Sam Ticer drawled, with a sidelong glance at his wife when we had opened the door and bidden them enter. "But I'm powerful glad to see you both. Ala tells me you're goiu' to stay a spell with us. That's fine I I'm al ways glad when outside folks come, then I git something to eat." He cast a sly, humorous glance at his wife as he spoke, the look of a mischievous boy trying , to get a "rise" out of his teacher. But Mrs. Tictr ignored his sally absolutely. "Here's Jerry," she said abruptly, pushing the ungainly boy forward, lie had appeared talt the summer before, but he was head and shoul ders above his father now, a young giant, who some day when he shed his awkwardness, would be unde niably good-looking. His face was covered now with an embarrassed, brick-red 'flesh, but he met our eyes sturdily. A Curious Thought. "How d'ye do," he said, blurting the words out hastily, then turned qnickly to Marion, who had come into the room with them, and whom, I remembered now, he had adored last summer. There is no slavery' so abject as that of an awkward, over grown country boy to a beautiful, dainty little city girl, and I remem bered with a reminiscent smile the odd gifts he had' heaped upon Mar ion, the summer before, culminating in very much alive, very protesting young owl. "Our old cat had four kittens last night, Marion," he said hurriedly. "'Want to see them?" "Oh! Do I?" Marion rose on her toe? excitedly. "Mother" ''Conic hack for her in five minutes, Jeny," Lillian smiled. "She must get into her play clothes first." Jerry promptly disappeared, and Lillian soke in a low tone to Marion. "You know where your khaki tilings are in the bottom of the brown suitcase. They are all to gether." Marion danced away with a little chu- kle of delight. She revels in the kliaki middy and bloomers and the stout "sneaker" shoes, which she is allowed to wear almost constantly in the country. ".Ma says you'd like to have this room changed into a parlor," Sam licer drawled wnen Marion nao ais itfcpcared. "Might have known she'd get round you to want that. She's powerful set on havin' her own way, Ala is. I'd have saved time fix in' it the way she wanted it in the first place. Now. you jest tell me what ydu want uonc. "Very little," I assured him promptly. "Simply- exchange this bed for a couch. We'll want this old mirror, and chest of drawers right here, won't we, Lillian?" . "Surely," my friend replied, "and I have a folding screen in my trunks which I will have sent out. It will conceal the washstand beautifully, and we'll need it if we have an ex V'a guest. And Mrs. Ticer, if you tould let us have a larger table in tere it would help. I am a working woman, you know." "She turned to me as the Ticers hurried away to execute her behests, and stretched her arms luxuriously. "I've found, my place," she said. "Aixtr you find the house you're looking for, I'm going to' transfoiX the room adjoining this into a kitchenette and estaDiisti Betty it she'll come, in the smaller bedroom upstairs. Marion and I will take the larger one and we'll have this for a dining-sitting room. It really would be folly for me to buy out here, after all." r-Tiiere was an abstracted look upon her face, and I wondered if her thoughts were with Robert Savarin, and the home he was so anxious to prcvide for her .whenever she should give him permission. (Continued Monday.) Where It Started Punch. 'This now historic beverage was originally composed of five ingre dients, spirits, lemon, water, sugar and spices.

Like man., another word, "jazz" has slipped into the English or rather, into the American language like the mule of which Mark Twain wrote, "without pride of ancestry or hope of posterity." Jazz is not a derived word. It was coined, and, according to Lieut. James Reese-Europe, U. S. A., who conducted one of the jazziest of jazz-bands, it owes its. origin to u man named Razz, whose musical or ganization was famous in New Or leans some 15 years ago. Razz is reputed to have been the first to realize the harmony and appealing quality which reside in saxophones, trombones, snare drums and the like, when played with the snap and dash of syncopation. So he specialized in this type of music, and his fame soon spread throughout the south, imitators springing up in various sec tions. One of these, which toured Missouri and the middle west, styled itself the "Jass-band" slightly alter ing the name of the original leader, and in the course of a year or so the "s's" were changed to "z's." Jazz-bands made their appearance from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and "jazz" slipped into the language and even into the dictionaries. (Copyright. 1821, Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.)

Did you ever, when a child, take a leaf of live-forever sedum tele phium and squeezing it to loosen the inner and outer skin blow into it to make it puff up like a balloon? If you never did there were many thousands of other children who did and many thousands who do the san;e today. It is a time-honored way ot finding out whether you have a long life a,nd be married or the reverse. If the leaf blows up easily the answer is in favor of the long life and the marriage. . Another common way of divining by live-forever is to pin two shoots of it on the wall and lea them rep resent a couple of young people who are "keeping company." If the shoots grow towards each other the couple will be married; if away from each , other they will become estranged. This is a good classic supersti tion of the most respectable sort and is highly spoken of by Theocri tus in his, Third Idyll, written nearly- 300 years before the birth of Christ. The telephium was so named from Telephus, a legendary king of Mysia, the son of Hercules and.Auge, or Augeia, that indiscreet priestess of Athens. In the birth and history of Telephus. love played a leading part, which fact, combined with the idea of the ancients that the order of plants to which what is commonly known as live-forever be longs possessed certain medical qualities, makes it very appropriate material for divinations regarding love and -marriage.

E EPY-TIME T A L ES CHAPTER XXI. A New Suit. Throughout Pleasant Valley the 1 very name of Grumpy Weasel was . bugaboo. Those of his size and many a good deal bigger than he, iearned early to avoid him. One of the first things Sandy Chipmunk's mother did was to teach Sandg turned and ran madly for shelter. him to beware of Grumpy. And twice during his first summer Sandy caught a glimpse of Grumpy as he flashed past like a brown ' streak, with a gleam of white showing un derneath. It was lucky for Sandy that on both occasions Grumpy was intent on chasing somebody or other. And each time that Sandy told his mother what he had seen, Mrs. Chipmunk said that she hoped it would never happen again. "I'm glad that you know what he looks like, anyhow," she added. "Oh, I'll know him if I see him!" Sandy cried. "Don't stop for a second look!" his mother warned him. ,"I woji't!" he promised. "I won't even stop to say, 'How do you do!" "I should hope not!" Mrs. Chip munk said severely. So Sandy Chipmunk went'through his first summer on the watch for a long, slender, brownish shape. But he never saw Grumpy Weasel again. And winter found the Chipmunk family all unharmed, and very com fortable in their cozy house below frost line. On mild days Sandy liked to visit the . world abpve and find a rock bare of snow, where he could enjoy the sunshine. ' It was on one of .those outings that he caught sight of a stranger headed for the stone wall near-by. At first Sandy missed' seeing him, against the snow. . But when he reached the wind-swept wall Sandy couldn't help noticing him. He was a slim gentleman and except for his black-tipped tail was dressed all in white. After spending the winter under ground Sandy Chipmunk was glad to talk with the first person he saw. So he called to the stranger that it was a fine day, wasn't it? The other wheeled about so quick ly that Sandy couldn't help laughing. "Don't be icrvous!" Sandy cried. "I won't hurt you!" But the stranger didn't answer. Once he opened his mouth. And Sandy Chipmunk had a queer feel ing then that he had me the fellow before. That mouth had plenty of lononoaonononoi r 21 Don't Miss Opening Night Elks Indoor Circus STARTS ; Saturday, May 7 AUDITORIUM - - 8P.M.

And in that instant Sandy knew who he was. No one could leap like that except Grumpy Weasel! Sandy turned and ran madly for shelter. Luckily he had the advan tage of Grumpy in one way. He had a bare ledge to run pn, while Grumpy Weasel had to flounder for some distance through a snow-choked hollow. jh-.ij So Sandy escaped. And it was lucky that. Grumpy didn't find the door to the Chipmunk family's bur row. If he had he would have gone right in himself. Mrs. Chipmunk blamed herself for Sandy's adventure. She had never remembered to tell her son that every fall Grumpy Weasel changed lii's summer dress for the one in which Sandy had just seen him. Dog Hill Paragrafs By George Bingham .

S. El wood. 818 Douglas street. Ehvood is said to be a son of James W. Ehvood, president of the Northwestern School of Taxidermy and owner of the Elwood apart ments, Fiftieth and Dodge streets. Both cars were nearly demolished by the terrific impact, but Ehvood apparently escaped without injury. Gorat was caught so that the steering wheel was jammed into his abdomen. Passing motorists rushed him to St. Joseph hospital. With Gorat were Frank Gwana, 1304 South Sixth street, who escaped with bruises, and Ralph Dimarco, 313 William street, whose head and shoulders were badly bruised when he was hurled from the car.
