REVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON Is Madge “Blind”? I awoke Sunday morning with the of something heavy hang- ing over my head. Tt was not yet day- light, and T lay for several minutes trying to remember what it was that was oppressing me. Then it came to me. This was the day when Jack was to land in New York after a vear's absence. I had three things to do during the day, each of which held possibilities of un- pleasantness. I must telephone sensation Jack at his old | hotel, for he would not know where to | find me. I dreaded immeasurably ! to do this with the possibility of Dicky in the room. I must leave Dicky to go to Lillian | Gale’s dinner alone while I dined with Jack. I must break the news to Jack that | during his year’s absence 1 had met and married Dicky. By a tacit understanding neither Dicky nor I had mentioned Jack's coming since Wednesday, when he had made the scene about it before Lillian. Fle had been repentant then for his outburst, but I feared another when I should telephone Jack. However, it would be hours before Jack would reach the old-fashioned little hotel in the Greenwich section, where he had kept rooms for years. I turned over and tried to go to sleep again. But I found it an impossible feat. I tossed and turned until the first rays of sunlight came through my open window, and I heard Katie stirring in the kitchen Then a possibility of which, queer- ly enough, I had not vet thought, made me spring from my bed, shiver- ingly shut the window, and dress rap- idly. The rooms were so cold I was glad to omit my usual shower. In his letter Jack had asked me to telephone to his “old diggings,” know- ing the possibility that I might have left my boarding house. But the thought had never struck me befor: that he might telephone Mrs. Stewart, with whom my mother and 1 had Itved for so long, to find out if I were still there. If he did so she would, of course, tell him that I had married while he was away. Off to Mrs. Stewart’s. In some way I must get word to Mrs. Stewart not to tell Jack that I was married. T could not telephone such a message to her. Perhaps if T hurried I would get to her home and back before Dicky awakened. On Sundays it is his custom to sleep late. 1 went to the kitchen, where Katie looked at me in astonishment. She had just returned from the early ser- vice which she attended every Sunday i morning. “You seeck, Missis Graham?”’ she asked anxiously. “You up so early.” “No, Katie, but 1 have an errand to which T must attend this morning. 1 think I shall be back before Mr. Graham wakens. If he should inquire for me, tell him 1 have gone for a | Granam?” | I forwardea it to [l T felt a curious reluctance to tell her what I wanted, . but I knew the thing must be done. “You remember my mother’s cousin, Jack Bickett,” I began. “Do I remember him? him, T should say I did remember him.” she answered me; then with another shrewd look at me, “Why?' “You know he went away to South Amerijca a year ago, just after mother died, and before I had ever met Mr. God love She nodded. to waste words. ‘“He’s coming back today. T had a letter from him a few days ago, sav- ing so.” It was never her way your address myself.” “Yes, and T thank vou for doing so,” stened to assure her. “But you cce, he doesn’t know anything about Mr. Graham, doesn’'t dream that I'm married, and I—" “You want me not to tell him if he calls you up here.” “You are positively Stewart,” I cried. Kuess it?" “How could I help guessing it?" she retorted. ‘“But you needn’'t have worried. I wouldn’t have told him anvway. That's a surprise T wouldn't want to be the one to hand to Mr. Jack Bickett. T wish you joy of vour job of telling him.” “Why, Mrs, Stewart, you mean? ‘None are so blind as those who will not see,” Mrs, Stewart returned cryptically. Her words lingered in my ears long after T haq left her with the under- standing that if Jack should call her up she would simply say I had moved, dress. and give him my new telephone adl Why did she call me “blind?" uncanny, Mrs. “How dia von whatever do Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast Fruit Delmonico Potatoes Parkerhouse Rolls Coffee Smelts Tainch Beauregard Fggs Steamed Apple Dumplings Fruit Sauce Dinner Clear Tomato So Steamed Cod Riced Potatoes Cold Slaw Sauce Peas Wafers Cheese Rice and Tapioca Pudding Coffee Reauregard Eggs—Cover threc eggs with boiling water, and keep the lat- ter at simmering point for three quar- ters of an hour, then cool and shell the egzs.

MY STYLE DIARY By DOROTHY CLARKE Marjorie and 1 just skipped around fown today, buying things for her sonthéen trin. 1 do so hope we can manage it this year, as I would so love a change. She bought one par- ticularly pretty utility dress made of Georgette satin combined with black- and-blue-and-white striped taffeta. The satin foras the tunie, which is short and cut up on the sides, but end- ing in a long point in front and back. The skirt is made of the taffefa with the stripes running round. The sleeves are elbow length, ending in a cir- cular frill cut in two deep points to match the lines of {he tunic: these and the wide flaring collar are made of the striped silk. This makes such a nice dress, as it can be worn at any time of day. NEW, BREEZY COMEDY FOR STOCK COMPANY Rehearsals are underway for “Near- Iy Married”, which promises to be the brightest comedy offering that the Lyceum has presented in all of it stock offerings. As “Harry Lindsay”, Alfred Cross, remembered for his ad- mirable performmances of "ikKd Burns™ Minutes From Broad- wan is “Man From Mexic ete., will have an opportunity to display his lighter style of acting.

Then,p utting on my outer garments, I let myself quietly out of the front door and walked swiftly to the nearest station of the subway) 1 had guite a long journey before me. Mrs, Stewart, in whose home my mother and I had boarded for so many years, lived in a rambling big house in a quiet section of Brooklyn, near Pros- pect Park. I left the subway at Brooklyn bridge, then boarded an ele- vated train which would take me with- in three blocks of the old place. As I walked those three blocks memories of my mother and of the quiet years we had lived in the house and fast. 1 felt a guilty little pang that T had not once gone to see my old landlady since my marriage. I felt it still more strongly when the maid having ad- mitted me, I found Mrs. Stewart in the little sitting room whi had been “And is it yourself at last?” sh asked reproachfully, even as she kisse:l me heartily. “I thought vou had for- gotten me entirely, so I did.” H “You know I could never forget | vou. Mrs. Stewart.” 1 said feeling a | very hypocrite as T spoke. I dreaded to tell her that it was not my wish to see her but my desire to obtain a favor from her that prompted my early visit. “Of course, you're zoing to stay to dinner, and why didn’t you bring your husband along?”’ She shot the ques- tions at me ni the rapid fire fashion 1 remembered. 1 mentally braced my- self to tell her the truth. A Promise and a Hint, “Dear Mrs. Stewart,” I said, taking her hand. “You must forgive but T came today only on an errand, and I must go away again almost at once. I am coming to spend the day with you very soon, however.” “Well, T thought it was too good to be true if vou had come all this way just to visit a poor old woman,” she said shrewdly. “‘But that's all an old woman has any right to expect from a bride.

Peple comedy that ran for a year in | New York and for a correspondingiy long time in other large cities.

Miss | Haskell is making her debut with the Poli Players this week and has al- ready firmly established herself in the favor of those who have seen her. Next week’s attraction at Poli's theater is “Rol Copper Megrue’'s sen- tional and thrilling melodrama, “Under Cover,” a play that has been a success in other cities.
