REVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON | I know mow how a child who has been punished feels when he im- agines another chastisement is com- ipg. I would rather take a flogging, T believe, than go through a painful scene. Watching Dicky as he walked swiftly up and down the room after my searching ‘guestions concerning his income, I shrank from the thought of another possible conflict as a child might from a threatened whipping . | /But to my surprise and delight Dicky | was not angry at all. He stopped | suddenly in the midst of his pacing, threw up his head as if he had de- cided something, and coming over to me sat down in the chair opposite to me. “Well, little Miss Budget,” he be- san playfully, “I'm going to give you | a chance to show how much of a | financier you are. You appear to be shocked at the idea of my not having real estate and stocks and bonds galore to show for my hard-earned dollars. Now, I'm going to see how many we'll have at the end of the yvear if you manage things.” “What do you mean, Dicky?"” asked bewildered. “It's simple enough,” he returned. “I am going to transfer my check- ing account to your name, and turn over to you every check I receive. Then if I want any money you can draw ‘me a check. You had con- scientious scruples against asking me for money, but I haven’t any in ask- ing you for it, provided you’ll .agree always to honor my - drafts without question.” s ' “Yon Can Save.” He smiled triumphantly as if he had finally settled the financial ques- tion, but my heart sank. I could foresee complications without num- ber in this method of doing things. “Oh, Dicky,” I protested, “I never could take all that responsibility. Why do you want me to try it?” “For the simple reason that I am probably the worst manager who ever drew a good salary. You were per- fectly right in being shocked at my not having saved anything in these last years. I should have a nice little sum put away, but money simply runs through my fingers. I believe it will stick té your. So I am going to put everything in your hands and let you'run things. Don't you dare to refuse.” I thought over the problem swiftly. Dicky had acceded to my wishes about earning some money of my own. I must meet him half way on this question of administering our household finances. “I will try it, Dicky, galdly,” 'I said, “but I warn you I shall keep a faithful account of every cent that goes out, then at the end of the year we can see where the leaks have been and how much we have saved.” Dicky threw up his hands in mock horror. A “I can see now how the account will look,” he’ said, gayly. “ ‘Gave Dicky 10 cents, “ ‘Gave Dicky $10. I | the room again. made out a check, tore it off and went | out into the hall again. I thought | of the day the man from the cleaner’s establishment had come. Was this another collector? Had Dicky told me a falsehood 'when he said the | cleaner's bill which I had paid was the only one he owed? I heard another murmur of then Dicky came hurriedly back into voices | al “You'll have to excuse me for half-hour or so, Madge,” he said. “This poor old devil can’'t get a check cashed at this hour, so I'll have to go up to the club with him. I'm | awfully sorry, but don’t let it spoil our evening. Read or write or some- thing, and I'll be back before you . know it. Awful nuisance, but I simply have to help the poor old chap out.” He took his overcoat, hat and stick and hurried out. As I sat bewildered ! at the occurrence, Katie bounced in- to the room. No other word described it. “Dot Meester Graham, he need one papa, one what you call heem: 4 “Guardian,” I suggested, I really had no business to listen to Katie, but the temptation was strong, and Katie was so genuinely interested in us both that her strictures did not appear impertinent. “Yes, dot's it."” She sobbed her head emphatically. “He all de time give money, give checks to every- body dot ask him. He never say no. Dot old man tonight, he old painter man, nevaire have money, nevaire have job, always he have sick wife, sick boy, someting, always he come to Meester Graham. Always Meester Graham say, no more, 'and den he give it joost de same. Tt makes me seeck.” Katie flounced out to the kitchen again, and I sat thinking with con- flicting emotions of the things I had Jjust heard. Dear Dicky! I did not know whether to be proud of his generosity or ashamed of his weakness. At any rate I looked with dismay upon my chances of saving much out of his yearly income. “IN OLD KENTUCKY” FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ! No play before the public the wear and tear of time so well as does “In Old Kentucky,” soon to be given again in this city. In the hearts of the playgoing public, it never grows old. C. T. Dazey wrote the play more than twenty yéars ago. From its first presentation, it never been withdrawn from the American stage for a single theatrical season—and during all these years, it has been controlled by the same management and has always been.cast and presented with care and atten- tion. Now in the twenty-third year stands | *“ ‘Gave Dicky $40.65." " “If you ascend that scale much far- ther,” I threatened, “I shall refuse to be your financial manager.” “Then I shall make you crawl to me for every nickel you get,”” said Dicky, sternly. “You see, I have you in me power, proud beauty.” I was about to toss back an an- swer to his nonsense when the door- bell rang. Dicky got up to answer it, but Katie hurried through the room, tossing her gingham apron back over her head into the kitchen as she came. “You no go,” she said, giggling. “I parlor maid when I white apron on.” _Dicky’s Hidden Charities. I heard her give a smothered ex- clamation when she opened the door. Then she came back into the living room with a face upon which ° sat strong disapproval. “Meester Graham, dot old man Maxon, he here again, want you.” ) ‘Dicky sprang to his feet with a muttered oath, and went to the door. He stepped out into the hall, closing lthe door behind him. I heard the murmur of voices. | Dicky’s forcible ufterance, and the low husky tones of another man's voice. Finul_ly the door opened, and Dicky came in alone. “Have you pen and ink handy, ! Madge? I finda my fountain pen is broken.” “Just a minute.” T went to my desk in my room and brought them back. As I did so, 1 saw that Dicky had taken his checkbook from' his pocket.

CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the ; : : Signature of 1 morning at 9 o’clock. “A FULL HOUSE” OF LAUGHTER AND MIRTH. \ The announcement that “A Full Tlouse” is coming to the Lyceum Tuesday night, is a fair warning to all playgoers to lubricate their laugh- ing machinery for this new farce is heralded as the most amusing piece ever staged. At least some of - the | New York critics commented on the play to that effect. “A full House” York sit up and laugh for xix months, and gave their funny rib a new sensation. The story of “A House” beging as a thrilling melodrama, involving the theft of a ruby necklace in Boston, whither a ly marrieq lawyer goes to reclaim chorus girl. Lleturning to New York that night the lawyer and the burglar occupy the came sleeping car and, in the excite- nment following a smash-up in_ the 1norning, they exchange grips. From inis moment all semblance to melo- arama ceases and the fun begins. For three acts, the audience is kept in convulsive laughter, with one sur- prise tumbling fast upon the other's heels. A great cast has been engaged to portray the farce, including several rames well known to Broadway. Seats now selling.

RURAL COMEDY DRAMA AT POLI'S “The Volunteer Organist,” a rural comedy drama based upon the noted song of the same title, will be given at Poli's theater this week. The song and play were written by Wil- liam Gray. The story told in the song concerns only the call for a vol- unteer organist to take the place of the regular organist, who is indis- posed and of the wonderful playing of the ragged individual who takes his place at the organ. In the play Rev. Harold Sturgis goes to the town of Cambridge, Vt., to take charge of a parish, Soon after his arrival he runs into obsta- cles that are present in many small communities. The gossips soon link his name with that of Grace Barnett, | the daughter of the innkeeper, and | oppose his attentions to her because | her father sells liquor at his small hotel. This opposition is developed by the gossips who gain the sympathy of certain men who feel that Mr. Sturgis is more independent in his efforts to spread the Gospel than their former pastors, had been. It reaches a climax on New Year's Day, when the pastor has arranged for special services. The organist and the members of the choir are in-| duced to revolt and the pastor finds himself without his musical assist- ants. Undismayed and determined to carry the service through, he calls for a volunteer organist from his congregation. CITY LABORERS WORK SUN The gangs of laborers employed by the city on the Elm and Bigelqw street subway and paving jobs had no rest last week, being required to work yes- | evening. | to Minneapolis, where he will make terday.

She laughed. “No, the My dear;, except through skirts of the city, where it isn't pretty, I don't belleve we went more than fifteen miles an hour, once.” “It was Wilhelmina’'s car,” she went on. “You know I've driven a great deal with various friends, but 1 never went with her before, and it was a revelation of how much pleasure you can get out of a drive, if you don’t feel you must rush every minute. “We went quite swiftly through the city, but the minute we got out on those Ilovely country roads we slowed down and enjoyed it. You wonder why I should enjoy a drive that I must have taken so many times, My dear, it didn't seem like the same road; it all looked so dif- ferent when I really had a chance to see it. There's a lovely little house that's always just a white flash when we rush past it. Wil- helmina went particularly slow there because she knows I'm inter- ested in houses like that, and I got scveral ideas for my ‘little house of dreams.’ " They Actually Stopped the Car, “Then at a certain bend in the road there is as lovely a view as I inquired. “Where did fifteen The driver. the out- 1 ak but I how never cver saw at home or abroad. ways knew it was attractive, never had the faintest idea nmiuch so before, because I've kad more than a twenty-mile-an hour glimpse of it. And what 40, you think, Wilhelmina actuall; stopped the car there! BShe says they always do, and just let the peace and beauty of it sink in, “Most people have a perfect hor, ror of stopping anywhere except at an inn or tea-room. They seem to think you are out to see how much ground you can cover, but Wilhelming is out to see how much hal piness you can get, and if anyone | the machine wants to stop, she stops willingly, We stopped twice——once to look at a house someone was inttr ested in, and once to pick some fowers. Just think of it! So Slow They Could Get the Fragrances. “And, my dear, the most remark- able think of all, we went so slowly that we could actually get the frag- rances. You know when you walk you often get the odors of the woods and fields, but you never do in a ma= chine, or if you do they're gone befo, you can place them. There was ta smell of ripe grapes, and the smell 4 @ bonfine and the cidery smell of overs ripe apples.

Do you “Well,” I answered in all truths fulness, 11 tell you what I've been wishing, and you may judge for youps self.” “What ?" “That I knew Wilhelmina well enough to ask her to take me to ride some day.” PO - f - RN, —— H.
