NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1916. REVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE GARRIGON ‘What Happened at the Dinner Table. “Do you like the mountains as well as you thought you would, Graham ?” Mrs, Allis’ low, clear vaice floated across the supper table at the Cos- grove farmhouse. Something in its timbre made me wonder if perhaps the English nationality, which she had so confidently asserted, was not mixed with that of some other race. There Was just a trace of foreign accent, or so I imagined, in her well modulated tones. “Much, much better, thank you,” T replied, smiling at her. I was de- termined to put a little extra cordial- ity into my manner toward order to disguise the real but rather unwarranted dislike I had of the woman. After all, my common sense told me there was no real reason why T should so dislike Mrs. Allis after an acquaintance of less than an hour. A stronger, she had accosted me in friendly fashion on the train coming up to the mountains, I had imagined that she looked with approving, ad- miring eyes upon Dicky ,and she had anade the foolish mistake of thinking that Dicky and I were brother and sister, a mistak: which Dicky in his love cf jesting had allowed to stand, ond which Mrs. Cosgrove evidently wished to allow for some reason of her own. She was sitting opposite me. to her on her left was the blue boy who Lad carried our luggage, whiie on the other side of her were w0 well set up young men with the unmistakable one-week-holiday-with- pay stamped upon them. Dicky and I were the only occu- _pants of the table on our side, al- though there were vacant places to the left of me. Jovial Mr. Cosgrove, wiith his kindly :fe, sat at the head and foot of the Iy meai I ever sit] to,’ Mrs. Cosgrove had ex- plained as she bore in two huge plates heaped righ with smoking hot biscuit. Mr. Cosgrove passed a plate of deli- cious looking broiled ham to Dicky. “Oh, we're so glad we have new people,” sald little Mrs. Allis clasping her hands with an affectation of pretty ehildishness. “We have broiled ham just becausc you’re here.” A Humorous Mystery. 3 A tiny flush stole over Mrs. Cos- grove’s face, and I caught the hint of a steely glitter in her eves as she Jooked toward the woman who had just thrown out the insinuation that the first meals of new boarders were better than the following ones. .. But her vojce was cool and placid as ever as she spoke. “We never have any hot dishes at supper,” she explained to me quietly, “except warmed up potatoes and a dish of hot bread of some kind, but when people have travelled all day, as I assume you have, they are Jungry, so I simply have hot meat for all tonight instead of cold.” “And I particularly dote on broiled ham,” said little Mrs. Allis brightly, “especially Mrs. Cosgrove's. Her broiled ham is not faod, it's a poem. That's the reason why I'm so glad you swere hungry tonight.” The flush faded = from Mrs. Cos- grove's face, but the hardness did not leave her eyes. I saw that Mrs. Allis’ _attempt at smoothing over things had “not placated Mrs. Cosgrove. I could not help but admire, how- ever, the adroitness with which the younger woman had seen the effect of her cat-like thrust and the skill with which she had endeavored to change the meaning of her own words. There was no more conversation for a little. We all did full justice to ~ythe ham and potatoes, the hot biscuit and honey, the real cream and but- ter, and the home-made peach pre- serves which heaped-the table before us. Then a shrill whistle from out- slde broke the silence in which we were eating. “There’s Ned now!’ “e: the blue-eyed boy at Mrs. side ~got up from the table and hurried into the kitchen. “Ned is my other son,” grove explained. In another moment a boy, who, to my eyes, was the one who had just left the room, reappeared completely dressed in a khaki suit, and called out cheerily: “I've got two of “tarving.” I know Dicky's face was as wildered as mine. For Mr, and Cosgrove, Mrs., Allis and even the two strange vouths burst into laughter. ‘It strikes rybody that w Mrs. Cos- them, and I'm be- oung peple need clear complexions If you find yourself ‘“left out’* because of a poor skin, and want a clear, fresh complexion, use " Resinol Soap at least once a day.

As the Dboys stood side by side, flushinz partly with embarrassment and partly with enjoyment of the sen- tion their marvellous resemblance | ated, I mentally agreed with' Mrs. | Allis.

I knew their mother must know them apart, and by the little amused smile that played around her lips I was sure it something besides her mother's intuition that enabled her to do so I scrutinized them closely and finally | found a distinguishing characteristic, | one which I was sure the mother knew.

No person is permitted to pass behind “Her Ma- jesty” nor must the shadow of any human being fall upon her. In the years immediately following the overthrow of her monarchy, against the fate that had befallen Queen Liliuokalani struggled bitterly her. Her attitude toward Americans was hostile. But age has healed these wounds and today her constant advice to her people is that they be loyal to the country that has adopted them. The former Queen has in recent years occupied herself largely with literary labors. She is the author of both the words and music of ‘“Aloha Oe,” the Hawaiian song that is now well known in the United States. She wrote it as a farewell tribute to her brother, King Kalakaua, and it is a matter of grief to her that the song is being syncopated and played irre- vently as dance music on the main- land. Most recently Liliuokalani has been assisting the Wev.

It is the aim of the company in 1920 to have a yearly production of 400,000 tons. Fa~ vorable weather for the four months from June to September will allow an average of 100 days for the shipping of the coal—and there is no difficulty in keeping the mines golng the year around. § There are now under construction at Advent bay great piers with the most modern léading machines so as - to permit the loading of 4,000 tons a day. Later similar facilities will he pro- vided at Green Harbor, It is claimed the quality of this coal is superior to the best English coal and the Norwegian indastry, navy and mercantile marine will take all they can get. { MEDIGAL CORPS GHECKS DISEASE U. §.

The tem includes five pitals, located at strategic points in the long stretch of horder territory; eight cap hospitals at other points where troops are stationed, a canton- ment hospital at Columbus, N. M., to serve the force on duty in Mexico snd 26 ambulance companies and 41 field hospitals distributed among troops in the field. The base and camp hospitals afford accommodation for a total of 4,600 ratients and have medical and surgi- cal facilities, equal to the fin hos- ! pitals. Not more than half the beds nave been occupied at any one time since the nation's militia strength was called into the federal service, but | the room is available in case of need. | Back of this array is the potential organization. A hospital train of ten Pullman cars, with a capacity of 250 | patients ,has been placed in use to port patients from the camp to the base hospitals and from base hos- | pitals to general military hospitals in various parts of the country, should a campaign in Mexico be undertaken. These larger institutions are the Wal- ter Reed hospital at Washington, D. C., the general army and navy hos- pital at Hot Springs, Ark. and the Lettimann hospital at San Francisco.
