Plees let me in!" Katie’s anxious, high-pitched voice outside the door roused me from the reverie into which I had fallen upon learning from my mother's last letter to me, which 1 had just discovered, that my father was probably alive, and had provided for me, I had no idea how long it had been since I sprang to my feet, dropping the letter in my amazement. I had paced the floor until I was exhausted, and then, still with the amazement of it all upon me had sunk into a chair and remained there, staring into vacancy, as I turned over and over in my brain the startling hews I had read. I picked up the scattered pages of my mother’s letter from the floor, and Jaying them upon my bed went to the door and admitted Katie, who, bearing a huge tray, looked as if she were in danger of dropping it, so wide-eyed and distracted was she. M1 was 'fraid you seeck, Misses Gra- ham. I 'nock one, two, three times— you no say noting!” She set the tray down, then cast a shrewd look around at the old- fashioned trunk standing open and at the letter on the bed. “Dot no good,” she said, shaking he: head wisely, ‘‘dot bring you notings.’ “What do you mean, Katie?” asked. “You been looking over old tings, old letters; crying over dem. You mar- ried now, better 'forget everything gone before.” A stern reproof for the girl's imper- tinence trembled upon my lip4 but one glance at her earnest, wistful face stille@f the speech upon my tongue. The girl was honestly anxious about me. Whatever she had said had been from the depths of her loving, faith- ful heart. X “I'l Try Not to. The absurdity of her surmise struck a humorous note which I sorely needed. Katie supposed me to be mooning over old love letters. “I'm sorry I did not hear you knock, Katie,” I said, gently. “I was looking over my mother’s letters and things, and forgot everything else. Is it luncheon time?"” y The girl's eyes widened in dismay. “Oh, Missis Graham, I not know,” she said, “I so sorry, I speeck dot way. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1917: G ] e T T GARRISON “You shouldn’'t have 'donc that, Katie,” 1 said, “I'm afraid Mr. Gra- ham’s mother will not like it.” “I no care vot she likes!"” Katie's tone was solemn bellious. “She not my missis; - two hours if she my you my missis. I bring you tings nice and hot. You eat dem queeck, to plees Katie.” “I'll try my best, Katie, 1 returned, “and thank you very much.” I knew I was being lamentably deficient in discipling, but the thought had come to me that it was the height of folly for me to antagonize Katie, who was so devoted to me, for the sake of my mother-in-law. who lost no opportunity of making me uncomfor- table. “Dot's right!” Katie returned, hear- tily, and placing the tray upon my sewing table she drew up a chair, ar- ranged my place and uncovered the steaming dishes for me. “Now I must run queeck,” she said, hurrying to the door. “Eat dot up, every bit. T coom back for tray.” ‘I will set the tray on the stand in the hall,” I said, quietly, so you will not need to knock again.” “All right, T feex,” she answered, and then, with her hand on the door, she said, pleadingly, “Promise me, plees, you no cry no more. “I'll try not to, Katie,” I said, quiet- Iy, and she went out, smilingly re- assured. I ate as much of the delicious Iuncheaon she had prepared as T could force down, for I feared to hurt her feelings, but I had little appetite, and it was not long before I had set/ the tray in the hall and was back in my room with the door locked and my mother’s letter again in my hands. “Remember, it is my last wish, Margaret,” the letter went on, “that if vour father he living, sometime yvou may be reconciled to him. T 3 been weak and bitter enough during all these years to be meanly com- forted by your staunch championship of me, and your dotestation of the wrong your father did me.

Is there anything in the world more | t ignoble than the jealousy that a wife ! or husband will so often feel of the other’s parent, usually, the mother? Jealousy is an unbeautiful emotion anyway. Of all jealousies, sex jealous thoygh the most violent, scems to me the least hideous because it is natural. | One can understand and pity because it is planted so deep in human nature that it is interwined with the very sources of life. It takes a almost s perhpman control not to feel sex ji ousy when one seems to have re: for it. | Simply a Form of Sclfishness. But this other jealousy'is not natur- al. Tt is not uncontrollable. In the majority of cases it is simply a man- ifestation of selfishness given free rein, and a narrow and petty state of mind. Of course there are cases where the husband ox wife with reason resents the other party’s attitude. For instance, T know of one wife who insisted on returning to mother's home on her wedding night because she was homesick, and has never been willing to leave it since. I do mnot think one could blame that husband very much for objecting when he had a home ready for her and her moth- er did not particularly need her. She Wouldn't Speak to Her Daughter- in-Law. Again, T know of a husband who permitted his mother, a woman of no- t s s i i 1 it ¥ | K |1 i |1 1 5 t ¢! dressed all remarks to her More typic | mother, | | hushand would hardly speak She is a highstrung woman and the is ter ws for Theater Goers and Women Readers REVELATIONS OF A WIFE| e et s o e oy v ? & e orfously peculiar temper, to refuse to peak to his wife though they lived in he same house (at the mother's de- ire).

This celebrated old drama was the first show that ever played at the local playhouse. It performs two missions this week in revival. It mai the Silver Jubilee of the Lyceum and it bids farcwell T. J.

The Walter Naylor players have | Miss Dorothea Antel as “Dora” in “Diplomacy.” never equalled the endeavors they are expending this week. There are five or six leading roles, all of which de- mand accomplished acting. The fact that the Naylor players are enabled to put on such a strong dramatic production .as “Diplomacy” is proof positive of the well balanced organi- zation which holds forth at the L ceum. The company is not built up around one man or one woman.
