[ News ’NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, D for The REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON How Lil Saved the Day for Madge. If I had suddenly thrown a bomb at Dicky he could not have looked more surprised than he did when I said I had a dinner engagement for Sunday, and, therefore, could not ac- cept Lillian Gale’s invitation. Mrs. Underwood's face also held a iook of astonishment, but I could read also in her expressive features that she thought I was simply pre- tending an engagement in order not te accept her invitation. B “A. dinner engagement!” Dicky claculated at last. “Why Madge, you must be mistaken. We haven’'t any | dinner engagement for that day.” His face was beginning to reflect | Lillian Gale’'s doubt of my sincerit; Much as I dreaded reminding Dicky anew of Jack Bickett's return from the wilderness I saw that there was nothing else for me to do. I knew that he would be ang: but T hoped that he would wait until Lillian went away before indulging in one of his paroxysms of temper. “You haven’t any,” I tried to speak as calmly as I could. “There is no reason why you cannot accept Mrs. Underwood’s invitation if you wish. But do you remember the letter I re- celved a week ago saying an old iriend of mine whom I had not seen for a year would reach the city next Sunday, and wished an engagement for dinner? There is no way in which I can postpone or get out of the en- gagement, for there is no way I can reach my friend before Sunday.” T had purposely avoided using the words “he” or “him,” hoping that Dicky would not say anything to be- tray the identity of the ‘friend” who was returning from the wilds. But I reckoned without Dicky. Either he was so angry that he recklessly dis- regarded Mrs. Underwood’s presence, or else his friendship for her was so close that it did not matter to him whether or not she knew of our differences, “Oh, the gorilla with the mumps!” Dicky gave the short, scornful, little laugh which I had learned to dread as one of the preliminaries of a scene. “I had forgotten all about him. And so he really arrives on Sunday, and you expect to welcome him. How very touching!” T4l Speaks Plainly. Dicky was fast working himself into a rage. Lillilan Gale evidently knew | the signs as well as I did, for she hur- riedly began to fasten on her cloak, which she had opened on account of the heat of the room. “I really must be going,” she mur- mured, starting for the door, but Dicky adroitly slipped between it and her. “Talk about vour romance, Lil.” he sneered, ‘“‘what do you think about this one for a best seller?” “Oh, Dicky!” I gasped, my cheeks scarlet with humulation at thig scene hefore Mrs. Underwood, of all people. But Dicky paid no more attention to me than if I had been the chair in which I was sitting. “Beautiful highbrow heroine,” he went on, ‘has tearful parting with gallant hero more noted for his size than his beauty. He's gone a whole vear. Heroine forgets him, marries another man. Now he comes back, heroine has to meet him and break the news that she is another’s. Isn't it romantic?” Lillian looked at him steadily for a moment, as if she were debating some course of action. Then she suddenly squared her shoulders, and, advancing toward him, took him by the shoul-| ders and shook him slightly. 1 “Look here, my Dicky bird,” she #aid, and her tones were like icicles. “I dldn’t want to listen to this, and T heg your wife's pardon for being here, but now that you've compelled me to| listen to you, you're going to hear me for a little while.” Dicky looked at her open-mouthed. exactly like a small boy being re- proved by his mother. ‘“You're getting to i be about the Legan. “Of course, I know you were as spoiled a lad as anybody could be, but that’s no reason now that you are a man why yvou should kick up rumpus any time something doesn't go just to suit your royal highness.” “See here, Lil!” Dicky began speak wrathfully. “Shut up till I'm through talking she admonished him Toughl: If T had not been so angry and hu- railiated T could have laughed aloud { at the promptn { closed his mouth. | *T'm going to tell you some things | for your own good.

Of course you didn’t intend it should hit him over the eve and lay his scalp open: vou just threw the first thing that came to your hand when you had worked yourself into a temper.” I saw Dicky steal a shame-faced glance at me.

She dropped her hands from his shoulders. “‘Of course, I've no right to butt in like this,” she said, as if recalled to herself. “I beg pardon of both of you. Good-by,” and she dashed for the door.

I know I have a beast of a temper, but you know, too, I'm over it just as Guickly. Look here.” He flopped down on his knees in an exaggerated pose of humility, and put up his hands first to me and then te Lillian. “See. I beg Madge's pardon, T beg Lilllan’s pardon, everybod pardon. Please don’t kick me when I'm down." Lillian’s face relaxed. She indulgently. “Oh, I'll forgive vou, but I imagine it will take more than that to make your peace with your wife! It would if you were my husband. 'Phone me about Sunday. Perhaps Mrs. Graham can come over after dinner and meet you there. Good-by.” She hurried out of tha door, this time without Dicky stopping her. Dicky came toward me. “If I say I am very, very sorry, Madge?” he said, smiling apologetic- ally at me. “Of course it’s all right, Dicky,” I forced myself to say. Curiously enough, after all, my re- sentment was more against Lilllan than against Dicky. Probably she n.eant well, but how dared she talk to my husband as if he were her per- sonal property, and what was it he “owed her” that made him take such a raking over at her hands? “NEARLY MARRIED” NEXT CROSS SHOW dear,” he said, “You know I “Under Cover,” with Alfred Cross and his assoicate players has satisfied the most exacting theatergoers its first three performances both through Kendal Werton's superior production and the acting of the company. The play by Roi Cooper McGrue, filled with comedy and tense and thrilling situations, served well for an opening bill. All energies are now turned to the production on Saturday, Jan- laughed | uary 1, of Edgar Selwyn's farce “Nearly Married.” It is broad com- edy, funny in its situations and serves as a clean cut, witty laugh provoker. Mr. Cross will be seen as “Harr Lindsey” and Miss Herne as his wife. The comedian will have his first big opportunity as ‘“Rangebulli” the ex- Sherry waiter. Miss Ruth Byron will also have her first prominent part, while Messrs. Collier, Sheffiell and White will have a chance to duplicate their “Under Cover” sue- cesses as will the Misses Morton Southern apd Brandt wha nave al- ready scored. “A PAIR OF SIXES” SCORES AT POLI'S Almost everybody is familiar with the ‘“national game’ of cards. Tt can not be undertaken to say how many people know how to play poker, but it is generally known that a pair of sixes can beat a lone queen. The play ! which was producea at Poli’s theater | vesterday proved the contrary—that a lone Queen of Hearts can beat “A Pair of Sixes.” The play will be con- tinued throughout the week. “A Pair of Sixes” is a farce in three acts. It has been commended by the usually severe metropolitan critics in terms that almost. exhausted the su- Robert P.
