HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele; Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
Problems That Perplex
- Answered by
BEATRICE, FAIRFAX
Where Is You Pride?
ear Miss Fairfax: Again I call
for your help. I have been grolng
with a young: man for one year. He
teemed to like me. .But whenever
I asked him. to come-to -a party he
would always say yes, but never
showed up. ' He did' this twice. Of
course, I shouldn't have given him
the second chance. But he was
very good to me outside of these
two disappointments. - . v
At Christmas he gave me a valua
ble gift which I prized greatly;. He
then made, up with a girl he had
been vexed. at for nearly a year. He
made a few remarks to his-fellow
friends about wanting to go with
this girl steady again.- Of course
these reasons were brought "back to
me. - So the next time he called up
I told him we would, break up. He
did not say much, but asked if we
could be only mere friends.
Now I am wantinsr to go back
with him, but I don't think he wants
to. ;So please- advise whether I
should worry about him or not.
- , ' HOPE."
-- O, Hope, how : can you have so
little, pride? .-'Do you want the boy
to insult you -outrightS.You. ought
to take his hints and leave him to
the other girl, . .. .. . ;
Don't Be a Xnlsanoe.
- Dear" Miss Fairfax: " I went out
with a stenographer I admire from
my former place of employment
once. When I attempted to make
an appointment, she informed me
she would write. Having not heard.
I wrote, but received no response. !
wanted to see her, so- one Sunday
nisht my friend and1 1 went to her
house with an automobile. - It was
about. 10:45 p. m., and her mother
Informed me that her' daughter was
hot home, v I had been at the door
for about 10 minutes when she came
home, with a friend; -and her fathet
Hiked if she knew me. - She said. yes,
but did 'not care to have anything
tn do with me. Her father then -ordered
me to leave,-which I-. did.
Will yo adrise me what to tlo so as
to see this girl again. TOM F.
Stop' making a nuisance Of your
self. This girl has never shown any
desire to be with you, accepting one
invitation,- no doubt, because you
fairly forced it. upon her. Surely
you -must realize how unwelcome
your attentions - are,?- and realljing
this, you should have dignity enough
to cease annoying a girl who. has
shown plainly that she considers you
what I called you in the beginning
a nuisance.
Sklnnay: Try to take life a little
more easily. That is the hardest
thing for thin people to learn to do.
Rest-every now and then. Get 10
hours' sleep every night. And above
all, refuse to worry. Don't continue
washing your face In hot water at
night. Warm water is a 1L . right,
rinsed in warm, always ending with
a cold water ablution.
A Reader: Write to the registrar
of the University N of Nebraska at
Lincoln for information regarding
purchase of "The Cornhusker."

Whit Dicky Suggested to Madge.
Yes, this is Mr. Graham's studio.
Mr. Graham Has stepped out for a
moment. ".Who is this, please Shall
I Rive him a message or shall I
ask him to call you?"
tdith fcairiax s voice, cool, in
souciant,' came over the long-dis
tance telephone wires. Evidently
she was completely at home in
Dicky's studio, far more . familiar
with it I thought bitterly than 1,
for my visits to the attractive-place
have been very few. Before ; my
marriage , I hacLgleanrd frdm ' ob
servation and -readings that the wife
who frequents her husband's- office,
studio or place of business ig an
unmitigated nuisance. - After marry
ing Dickv I had marie an axiom of
the belief, and I have never, gone.
to his studio except on Ins 'direct
invitation, and twice hi emergencies,.
when I could not wait to see him
elsewhere. ' ' 1 j
The sound of tha voice, with its
assured air . of .'knowing all about
Dicky's affairs, enraged. me. .. But an
insistent little voids in -s my ' brain
warned me' to. betray no whit . of
that anger to the girl at the other
end of .the ' wire. : i .' wondered
whether she -were,; honestly; in. ig
norance as to my-identity, or. .was
pretending rot, to .know, my .-yoicc,
either from sheer delight in tantaliz
ing me or because she'' wished to
gain time for thought before answer
ing me. 'If she had been the Edith
Fairfax of the pre-war days I would
have known-that there was no room
for .subterfuge in her girlish soul.
But I was not -sure of the cool,
poised woman- of .he world who had
succeeded the early personality of
the Virginia girl. ,
I. clenched my fingers in my
palm unconsciously , until I felt the
nails cut into the flesh. The physi
cal pain strangely helped me to gain
control of my, anger and my voice.
"Hello, Edith!" I managed to
make my voice careless. "Don't
you know me?. This is Madge, ami
I must talk.. to 1 Dicky, as soon as
possible. So if you can hurry his
lagging, footsteps I shall- be .most
grateful:"
Conflicting Emotions.
''Oh, Madge!" Her voice was
genuine enough in its surprise, but
I could , not get over the feeling
.that she was pretending. "How
stupid )0f me not to . know you!
Ill get Dicky at once. He s just
gone down the hall to Craven's
studio. Where are you talking
from? Sag Harbor? Why! Dicky
thinks, I m sure, that you re on your
wa'v in. He wired you yesterday.
He's been ragging arouhd all morn
ing because he didn't get an answer
irom you.
,Kot a word of explanation of her
being in the studio; instead, a subtle
reproach because I had not answered
mv husband's message. If she had
been Dicky's sister she could not
have appeared more at ease. Of
course,. I realized with the common
sense half of -my brain' that it was
the only possible attitude for her
to . take, whether or not her ores
ence' in the studio was accidental
or premeditated. Any protiered
explanation would be . an admission
that she was conscious of the need
far -an explanation.
I received his wire about half an
hour 'ago," I explained, resisting the
impulse to make my voice curt. "So,
of course, I cannot meet the folks
as he' wished. But I am coming in
on the next train and must talk to
him first." -
. "Hold the wire, please," she re
plied, with a tinge ot curtness in her
voice. ,
She evidently resented my repeat
ed hint that I wished no delay in
talking to Dicky. I heard the tap
of her high heels down the corridor,
had a queer, morbid fancy that they
were, dancing on my heart and
looked through the door of the tele
phone booth to see Lillian gazing at
me with a look of pity in her eyes.
I knew that though I had been able
to control my voice when I had
heard that of Edith Fairfax my face
must have betrayed the tenseness of
my emotion to so close and loving
an observer of me as Lillian.
Madge Wins Control.
-That she had not intended me to
see her compassion I knew by the
swiftness with which the expression
of her eyes changed when they met
mine. Of course, she had heard
every word. I have such a horror
of the close air of a telephone booth
that I rarely close the door tightly,
and Lillian stood just outside it. But
there was no hint of her knowledge
in her voice or manner as she spoke
to me.
"Can you get him-?" she asked,
casually. i .
"He'll be here in a minute," I re
plied, with equal nonchalance. ."Edith
has gone to call him."
The little colloquy, with Lillian's
patent effort to ignore my emotion,
curiously enough bolstered my cour
age to tie? point which, incidentally,
I had been afraid I could not reach
where I was able to reply cheerily,
and with every appearance of com
posure, to Dicky s excited , voice
when' he reached the telephone.
"For the love of Mike! Where are
you?" he .demanded. . "Why didn't
you come in this morning?"
So Edith had told him' nothing but
the bare fact that I was at the tele
phone. I explained the non-arrival
of the telegram and announced my
intention of coming in on the after
noon' train.
"What . do you . want . to do that
for?". Dicky queried crossly. "AH I
wanted you for was to take them
on out there on the 4 o'ctock train.
I suppose I'll have to do it myself
now. Have, you got . a house yet?
If you have, why couldn't we stay
there tonight? You could rustle in
enough furniture from some firm.
Mother wires that, she saw in the
papers there was a case "or two of
scarlet fever in New York, so she
says we muan't leave the station, but
go right on out to Long Island."
