Poor man, it never occurred to him to oppose his wife before. She has managed him and his millions and his business so long that he’'d forgotten how to do anything but signchecks and vote as she told him at the stockholders’ meetings!” “How'd he come to wake up?” asked face. Well, I guess T woke him somewhat,” laughed Cora. “I'm not much of an alarm clock as a rule, Wanda, but when I'm not only ignored but walked over and kicked aside while my husband taken possession of by a strong- minded female I sit right up and sound my little gong. Carter Brett took notice immediately. Nobody had ever troubled to interest him before.” “I see,” said Wanda. “And now he is falling in love with the girl who rescued him.” “Oh no.

Those Selfish, Sometimes I think men are most exasperating, selfish in the world. They make such a fuss about their meals, they scold so when the morn- ing paper doesn't come or the laun- dryman is late, or at any of the small mishaps that are an inevitable part of the warp and woof of daily life, and that wouilldn’t matter much if peo- | ple only wouldn't fuss about them. And Then I Wonder How They Can Be So Unselfish. And then again I am touched the infinite patience and the fishness tures. Once upon a time when I was in New York I called upon a friend vho lived in Brooklyn. I was myself staying at the other end of the city and the trip took ms | one hour and three-quarters, much of which was spent in a hot, ill-ventilat- ed, crowded subway. It was a terrible trip, and T could not help commenting upon it to my hostess. He Spends Three Hours and a Haif a Day in Discomfort. “How would you like to take it every day?” she asked. “One of my neighbors does that. His business was moved out to the Bronx just after they took the apartment.

Think of it! An hour and three- quarters twice a day—three and a half spent going to and from his work, and spent in uncomfortable and un- healthy surroundings! All so that his wife shouldn't have to move! That's what I call a heroic sacri- fice—the kind of heroism that en- dures the torture of a million pin pricks of daily discomfort. No Woman Should Accept Such a Sacrifice, No woman should accept sacrifice. Accessibility to her husband's bus- iness ought to be the first factor con- sidered in choosing a home. No wo- man would deliberately lop off two or three years of her husband’s life so that she might be more accessible to her friends. Yet that is just what many women do in forcing their hus- bands to spend an extra hour a day in transit. There are not many cases so bad as the one I have quoted (though I know of another where the father for vears traveled two hours and a half each way), but there are many cases in which the convenience of the work- er has not been made « prime factor in the choice of a home.

The battle for ion of the fourteen-year-old boy and manage- ment of his estate during his minor- ity was fought for more than a year in the Surrogate’s Court at White Plains between William Mills jr. of California, father of the boy, and Frederick T. Lee of White Plains, his stepfather. Ilis father started seven separate actions to get the lad and lost every one. The boy’s mother, who had divorced Mills and been married to Lee, died at the Hotel Ansonia two years ago. It was testified in Mill's suits that he had never taken any interest in his son until the boy inherited the Crossman estate. The boy testified that his mother had impressed him with the desirability or remaining in the care of his stepfather and the latter’s mother, Mrs. Emma Kenyon Lee. Lawyer Named As Finally Surrogate decided that the boy’s welfare would be best conserved by the appoint- ment of “a third party” as guardian. He named De Witt H. Lyon, a Port Chester lawyer. Then the Lees took the boy to Dan- bury, Conn., and would not surrender him to Lyon. Hearing warrants had been sworn out against them, charg- ing kidnapping, the Lees returned to White Plains yesterday, bringing “the poor little rich b Mr. Lee went to the office of his attorneys, Strang & Taylor, and the Sheriff was in- formed of his presence. Mr. Lee was arrested, and the Sheriff went to No. 35 Green Ridge Avenue, where he found Mrs. Lee and the boy. She was arrested and taken with the lad to the Sheriff’s office. There were waiting Mr. Lyon and Edward Gore, the latter representing Sidney S. Syme, Mr. Lyon’s lawyer. rs. Lee was indignant when told she must give up the boy. The lad cried that he did not want to leave her. But he was taken to the Lyon home. There the lawyer's wife sought to comfort him, but he re- mained perturbed.

In his decision naming Mr. as guardian, Surrogate Saws pressed hope that there reconciliation between father and son, and to that end ordered that Mr. Lyon should have the hoy spend July and August with his paternal grand- parents in New Rochelle, where his father may visit him. But the Surrogate also said: “I would suggest to the new guar- dian that if Mrs. Lee can provide a suitable home for the boy she have the care of him until he reaches a more mature age, when he may de- cide for himself with whom he wishes to live.” poor pos ardian. awyer last June Lyon ex- would be a = Menu for Tomorrow_] —_— Breakfast Blackberry Mush Sugar and Cream Fried Potatoes Thin Corn Cake Coffee By ADELE GARRISGON ‘Why Dicky’s Mother Refused to Re- main in His Home Any Longer. “My Dear Mrs. Graham,” Dr. Pet- “I am inclosing the I wish all tit’s letter began, bill for which you asked. my patients were as conscientious as you. “Are vou enjoying your summer in Marvin? 1 know you must be, for it is a delightful old place.

Why had Dr. Pettit writ- ten such a letter? Why had l)ir‘,ky', read it? Why, after reading it had he kept it and not given it to me?; Was this partly the for his| growing coldness and indifference? Dicky had given me permission to, rummage packet for the bills which he invariably forgot to turn over to me for my files. In going through his pockets I had come across this; letter from Dr. Pettit, sent in re before my reason his | chance to step back into the work I | tude. even if by taking it I broke my agree- | ment with the Lotus Study club. 1 had finished a successful season of | iectures with the Lotus Study club in spite of the skilfully concealed ani- mosity of the secretary, Mrs. Helen Brainerd Smith. I knew that she had never forgotten the incident of my first appearance before the club, when I had deliberately betrayed parsimony to the members of the club ag the only method of compelling her to pay me the amount she had agreed upon. Although her office was that of sec- rctary, she was the real leader of the club, owner of the house in which the clubrooms were, and virtually the dic- tator of the club's policy. I felt it to be a real triumph that in spite of her covert opposition the members of my study class had insisted upon my re- appointment to the position. Mother Graham’s Suggestion. I did not like the thought of leaving the women who had thus honored me, but, on the other hand, if Dicky and I were to come to the parting of the ways I could not refuse this rare had left for his sake. I decided to be guided by his atti- If he were indifferent to my course I would know that my actions | had ceased to be of interest to him, | «nd I would accept the position. But if he showed his old anger at the proposition— I did not have long to wait. As I fted my eyes to his face when I had sponse to a request of mine for his finished reading the letter I saw the bill, dated two weecks before. The let-! ter had been opened, and I felt sure, Dicky had read it. In all my bewil- derment I had a little sick feeling at my heart that Dicky should have been guilty of opening and reading a letter addressed to me, for the envelope| bore no identifying marlk. I scrutinized the letter carefully again. The “Mrs.” in the superscrip- tion might have been mistaken for “Mr.” by any one looking at it hur- riedly, for the “s” had been blurred. Then, too, the letter was not torn open. The flap might have been loosened before Dicky received it, and he might have opened it under the impressicn that it was his own. But had he read it after all? This If he had, it was totally unlike Dicky to keep his knowledge of the letter from me. The Dicky of the earlier days of our marriage would have been ungovernably ansry and jealous over even so innocuous a letter as this addressed to me from another man. My own particular little mocking devil gave me the key to failure to hand me the letter. “He simply isn't interested in any- thing you may do,” the little demon ¢aid. “It's Grace Draper's actions he’s worrying about just. now. He's read the letter and forgotten all about it. That's all the interest he takes in NORBP Miserably I remembered the scene Dicky had made in the first month of our marriage when I had received a Ictter from my brother-cousin, Jack Bickett, the nearest relative I had. He had raged like a fiend, and I been miserable at the prospect of en- during his senseless jealousy for the rest of my life. T told myself drear- ily that evidently T did not need to rry over that any longer. With a sudden raging impulee which I did not understand I went to my desk, wrote out a check for the 2mount of Dr. Pettit's bill, fastened it to the bill, and then wrote a brief ac- knowledgement of his note. “Dear Dr. ettit: Your note and bill have just reached me—the fault of tke local postal system. I am so sorry for the delay, I fear vou will change your mind about my con- scientiousness. Yes, indeed, I am en- joving the sumer, and shall be most pleased to see you if you come to arvin. ‘I am enclosing check, cerely yaurs. “MARGARET SPENCER GRAHAM."” W Very sin- Dinner Clear Tomato Soup Roast Lamb Mint Sauce New Potatoes Peas and Carrots Lettuce Frujt Ice Cream Coffee Supper Brown Bread Sandwiches Dressed Lettuce Coffee Fruit Cake Coffee Blackberry Mush—Slowly heat the fruit until scalded, then press out the juice.
