REVELATIONS OF A WIFE - By ADELE GARRISON Why Madge Decided That She Must “Settle” Mother Graham's House- keeping Interferences, As Katie, her eyes blasing with wrath, rushed to the kitchen door, leaving behind her on the floor the wreckage of her cake bowl and mix- ture, I stepped quickly to the other side . of the door, and when she had passed beyond the reach of my mother-in-law’s vision I took her by the shoulders, firmly but gently. “Go to your room this minute, Katie,” I commanded, “and wait there until I come. I will straighten this ou R h, Missis Graham,” she gasped, “dear Missis Graham, I can no stand dot old—" 2 “Hush!” I said sternly. “I am asking you this, not any o6né eéise, ‘Will you go to your room quietly?

I drove a smile from my face the girl's impertinence, suppressed s sigh at the task 'of set- tling matters with my mother-in-law, and went back into the kitchen, Dicky's mother stood in the middle of the room as if petrified, her gaze fixed on the widening yellow: puddle of cake batter which spread from the spot where Katle had hurled the in her burst of ‘When she caught sight of me, how- ever, she lost her staniness of de- meanor.

In the vain hope that diplomacy would do, spoke as soothingly as I could, “I am sure she wili clear up every- thing after she has had her cry out,” I returned. “But even if she doesn't you know I-would not think of allow- ing you to do it. Won't you go \to your room and take & nap? This must have upset you. I will straighten Katie out after a while. |And I can promise you that the house will be cleaned to your liking, all the ‘preparations made, if you will just leave things to me.” My, mother-in-law_surveyed - me haughtily as if she-thought I had takodt lew my Senses, What Madge Said, “Let me understand you aright,” she said at last. “Do you mean to keep that girl in your employ after her disgraceful exhibition just now? I forbid you to do it.” I braced myself for the explosion I foresaw. . 4 “Mother Graham,” I said firmly but decisively, “you must understand that there can be no such word as forbid from you to me regarding the routine f my home. What has happened this morning has only strengthened a re- solve I made some time since. I am perfectly willing to yleld to your wishes in a great many things. For instance, concerning Dicky’s birthday celebration, I will try to have every- thing exactly as you wish it. But I must reuest that unless it be for some personal service you give no more orders either to Katie or to any other maid I may have in my employ. If there is anything you wish her to do, tell me and I will see that it is at- tended to.” ! N\ I fully expected that my mother-in- law: would fiy into one of her rages, wire to her daughter, cancelling the invitation she had sent, and depart from our rooftree. But I have ob- served before that Dicky's mother knows just how far to go in her tantrums. She rarely lets them in- terfere with any cherished plan of hers. ‘What Katic Feared, Evidently she had set her heart upon this proposed visit of her daugh- ter's family. I think she also had a very lively appreciation of the labor that visit would entail for us were Katie's skilful, helpful hands not in our service. i So, lke many a .greater general, she tried to cover her retreat with a flank attack. g . “I only pray, Margaret,” she sald plously, “that you may never be made to feel that yoy are an unwelcome in- truder in your son's house—if you ever have a son—as you have made me feel it today.” She went swiftly out of the kitchen before I had a chance to reply. The victory was mine, as far as the domi- nation of my household went, but she contrived to revenge herself cruelly in her defeat. The implication that I was trying to make my husband’s mother uncom- fortable, that I treated her as an un- ‘welcome intruder, cut me to the quick, . The thought shadowed my footsteps as I climbed the stairs to Katle's room. I found Katie prone upon her bed, weeping copiously, and shudder- ing with great gasping sobs, which would have alarmed me had I not had much experience with Katle's hysterical fits of weeping. “‘Oh, Missis Graham, votever I do!" she oried, as I came into the room and put my hand upon her shoulder: “I no mean to be so bad, break dot dish, spill cake all over floor, but dot old vomans she make me so mad I not know vot I do! I so 'shamed, Jim know I acted so like von little fool. I know he be mad. Jim like dot kind of cake, t00,” she added naively, “Then suppose you dry your eves, hurry downstairs, clean things up and have ahother cake made by the time he comes back with that load of wood,” 1 suggested practically, Menu for Tmow Breakfast, Frult Cereal Sugar and Cream Potatoes au Gratin Pop Overs Coffee Lunch.

Many were turned away from Fox's theater last night so great was the demand for seats to see this popular star in his latest offering. The eleventh chapter of “The Great Secret” is an added attraction on the program tonight and the ‘“Merry Mix-Up” is well up to the standard of the Foxfilm comedies. On Friday and Saturday, the Triangle's most popu- lar dramatic star, Frank Keenan, makes his farewell appearance in the Triangle service. Mr. Keenan has been done the signal honor of having been asked to sign his name to an Artcraft contract and under the man- ‘ement of Thomas Ince he appears for the last time with little Miss Thelma. Balter the juve: find of the Ince Office. Mr. Keenin's last picture, “The Crab,” is said to be one of the most appealing pictures that have yet been produced for the Triangle pro- gram. The leading character, that of a little girl left without parents or home, is played by Thelma Salter, whose work in a number of previous Thomas H, Ince features will be well rentembered. She has the part of "Ivy Marten. Thomas H. Ince himself is mainly responsible for the remarkable de- velopment of Thelma Salter, the child actress, who has appeared in a num- ber of Triangle-Kay Bée plays. Ince’s attention was called to the little girl several years ago, and he at once saw a talent that was well worth en- couraging. TO COMBAT TUBEROULOSIS. .| Council of National Defense Anxious For Soldiers’ Health. New York, March 29.—To ascer- tain the country’'s equipment to com- bat tuberculosis among the soldiers in case of war, the Council of National Defense has requested the National Association for the Study and Pre- vention 6f Tuberculosis to make a complete survey of the situation and report in detail. The survey, says an announcement by the association today, will endeav- or to list the facilities of the coun- try for the treatment and care of sol- diers, prisoners and interned civillans who may become victims of the dis- ease, and to insure the use of such precautionary and preventive meas- ures as may save American troops from a spread of tuberculesis. Dr. Hermann N. Biggs, New York state commission of health, who 1is chairman of the committee carrying on the survey, has just returned from France, where, at the request of the French government, he has made 2a study of conditions in the French army which have arisen as a result of the spread of tuberculosis.

BY RUTH QAMERON ;| the majority of whom were In Honor Bound “When angry, count ten before you speak. If very angry, count a hun- dred.”—Thomas Jefferson, There is no better test of a man’s or a woman’s honor than the things either will refrain from saying to the other in a matrimonial ‘quarrel. Not long ago: I received a letter from a woman who, in her yauth, had slipped from the straight and narrow path, but had crawled back to it on hands and knees of repent- ance through the cruel brambles of public disapproval, and had married a man who knew and accepted her Yet the first time these two quar- relled over some minor matter her husband threw her mistake in her face. Some Things That Men of Homor Do Not Do. There are some things men of honor |- do not do, Onme is to fail to pay debts of honor, another is to betray a friend's secret. But, to my mind, flinging out. a thing like that, on which he is in honor bound to keep his lips locked, is & graver breach of honor than any of thesé. Anger is no excuse for it The honor of :a man who will fling the inhibitions of decency to the winds ‘whenever he is angry is not worth much, He is & man for other men to shun. ‘When Their Temper Is Unleashed Some People Will Say Anything. I spoke of this particular instance because I have had meveral similar letters, and so I.know-such a case is 'not unusual. But there are plenty of other things of which the laws of decency and justice forbid mention, and which, in a fit of unleashed tem- per, husbands and wives fling out. For instance, I know one woman whose husband’s family is somewhst inferior to her own. Whenever they are angry, she throws that at him. Think of Her Blaming Him for That! Another wife never lets a . quarrel &0 by without reproaching her hus- band because he does nat earn more money. -The worst of that is that he is able and hard-working, but the facts that he is married and has a family are chains that hold him down. His employers are of the abominably mean class Who take advantage of an | employe’s necessities to give him half ‘what he is worth. Taunts like these leave bitter wounds in the characters of those who hear them, but they leave deeper wounds in te characters of those who say them. : Honor is an impalpable thing but it is one of the few realities in this world, and you cannot keep your honor. if you fling the inhibitions of. decency to the winds whenever you are angry.
