ATIONS OF A WIFE i By ADELE GARRISON ‘What Happened When Mr. Gondgn’s eyes, Gift of Flowers Was Opened. My fareboding was realized. Robert Gordon had brought me chrys- anthemums, and beside their mag- nificence Dicky's yellow blossoms, beautiful though they had appeared, ‘were hopelessly outclassed, I had never seen such gorgeous blooms as met my eyes, when, after Mr. Gordon had removed his hat and introduced to Lillian and the Durkees, the boxes were opened. Rose-pink, lilac, snowy white, golden and a wonderful bar- baric variety with each dark red petal possessing a gold-tinted lining, their flaunting beauty fairly dazzled me is I lifted them out. “How perfectly splendid!” little Mrs. Durkee cried, and I was grateful to her for the exclamation. As for myself, &’ spell of silence seemed to have fallen upon me. The gift Mr. Gordon had brought was too magnifi- cent, entirely out of proportion. I daid not dare to look at Dicky, for I was sure’ that he would consider the man of mystery, who was our guest for the day, most presumptuous, 1 do not know what I finally 'stam- mered when the necessity for thank- ing Mr. Gordon in some way became imperative. Whatever it was, the words were fairly taken out of my mouth by Harry rwood, who came in from the library, whither he had unwillingly accompanied my mother-in-law a few moments before at her request, after his unpardonable rudeness to his wife, y Jove!” he exclaimed, ‘those certainly jolt vou right betwéen the Wrinkles-Sallow Complexion RENEW YOUTHFUL BEAUTY Try This French Beauty Recipe Tonight. wrinkled, hollow-choeked aged-looking woman; has quickly herself look most beautiful. youthful and charming by means of the folloy ing simple French Beauty Recipe.

What! You here, Gordon? How are you. Might have recognized your fine Italian hand. /This is a gift ‘for a queen.” Running through the speech I de- tected the undercurrent of malice which accompanied, so much of Harry Underwood's conversation. I had seen before that he was in an unusually viclous mood on account of Lillian’s altered appearance, and, of course, the caustic little reproof which I knew my mother-in-law must have adminis- tered to him in the library had not improved his temper any. He was ready for any mischief, and had quickly seized the opportunity to exaggerate the importance of Mr. Gordon’s flowers, “You flatter my poor offering,” he- turned Mr. Gordon, with the touch of old world promposity which is part of his manner sometimes, “but éven if it were a gift for a queen, as you say, it would be still unworthy its fair recipient.” He made me a low, formal bow, in which there was not the least touch of mockery. And the look in his eyes as he spoke puzzled and half-fright- ened me, it was so unlike any other gaze I had ever encountered. * But, oh, how I wished he had not answered Harry Underwood’s speech. ‘Whatever would Dicky think of Mr. Gordon’s ridicadous words following his extravagant gif{? He would sure- 1y belleve his mother to be justified in her wild conjecture that Mr. Gordon was in love with me, i Lillian's Gentle Aid. 1, on the contrary, would have staked my very qyistence upon the as- sertion that whatever the hidden powerful emotion animating Mr. Gor- don might be, it was not love, at least not the love of *a man for a maid.” I believed that Mr, Gordon must have loved my mother hopelessly. That he entertained a similar feeling for me— never! But, I reflect grimly, if he kept this sort of thing up I would never be able to convince Dicky of my belief. “You said a mouthful then, old top,” Harry Underwood advanced toward Mr. Gordon and give him a resoundig clap on the shoulder. ———————————— NOW IS THE TIME to plant that hedge you were going to plant last fall.

FRIDAY, “Nothing’d good enough for our charming hostess, not even her hus- band, eh, Dicky-bird?"” ‘What Dicky might have answered in reply to his friend’s maliclous rail- lery we were never A to know, for Lillian, always to be counted on in any emergency, social or otherwise, rushed to the rescue of the situation. “Dicky: womnld you mind getting me a ‘glagg of jater?”’ she asked. “My throat’ is'troukiing me a bit.” Her Yulse silbedded. Dicky hurried away ‘to ‘do Her’ bidding, thus being sayed the obl on to , make any commient whatever upon the flowers, an omisalon which I was sure puzzled and disturbed- Mr. Gordon .from' the 1oak, half wondering, half resentful, which he sent after Dicky. “Madge!” Lilllan turned to me. “I don’t blame you for being over- whelmed with these gorgeous things, “but 4night I suggest that you cannot stand there all day holding part of them ? Suppose you tell me where to find some vases or jars, and we'll arrange them. Won't these wine-and- gold beautios be stunning on that table Letween the two windows? Harry’s Crucl Glance. She lifted from the box the rare blossoms with the red petals lined with gold color, and held them out at arm’s length with all the worshipful love of color which.I knew was hers. Dear, dear Lillian! Forgetting her own pain she had stirred me to action, soothed Mr, Gordon's wounded vanity, gotteri rid of Dieky, all in & moment. 1 was glad, too, that her manner had been that of her old self, assertive, lovingly domineering. I did not fancy Lillian in the role in which I had seen her but a few moments before, patiently accepting’ her husband’s gibes upon her changed appearance. And then I saw her suddenly droop and shiver, almost as if she had re- celved a blow. She hastily put the flowers down, muttering something about finding a vase, and went swiftly out of the room, meeting Dicky with the glass of water for which she had asked, in the doorway. A DETECTIVE PLAY THAT IS HUMAN 4 N Most detective plays are either com- ical or impossible if you pause to analyze them, but “The Dummy” is genuinely human. The leading ‘‘de- tective” is a lad of fifteen years and from the time he applies for a posi- tion on the staff of Walter Babbing, a famous gleuth, until he accom- plishes his hazardous task, the inter- est in the play is maintained at high pitch. Ralph Murphy in the title role was never seen to better advan- tage- As Beryl Meredith, the object of his search, Miss Dorothea Antel is captivating and Philip Quin gives a splendid impersonation of the famous detective. -~ Miss Perry and Smythe Wallace are seen in unusual roles, and the rest of the augmented com- pany contribute to making “The Dummy” the best play of the current seasori at the Lyceum. On Sunday evening the Lyceum will feature Viola Dana in “The Cos- sack Whip”, a powerful story of modern Russia showing the hardships and sufferings of those who are under suspicion of the prefect of police. A highly entertaining photoplay and one which the public is sure to like.

It was something which left many doors to unpleasant thoughts and she fell into | the habit whenever she was alone of passing through each of those doors in turn, and torturing herself with what she found beyond them. i Naturally, she made herself very unhkappy and her health began to suffer from the strain. Of course, everyone who knew her ! urged her to stop thinking about these unhappy things, but she would | only answer miserably, “I'can’t help | it. I try to put them out of my mind but I can't.” How She Pushed These Painful ‘Thoughts Out Then one day I met her and she seemed much happier. The reason came out in the course of our con- versation. She and her cousin were planning a trip abroad. It was notl Painful Thoughts to come off for a year but the plans had given her something to think bout.: “Every time I find myself thinking about things that make me unhappy,” she said, “I go and get the Baedeckers and plan where we'lk 80 or what we'll wear. You can't think how it helps.” But I can think exactly how it helps. Yon can control what you say or do by force of will but you cannqt entirely control your thoughts no matter how hard you try. You Couldn’t Help Thinking of That Million Dollars As someone has pointed out, if any- one offered a million dollars to the person who wouldn't think of a mil- lion dollars for a week nobody could honestly claim that million. The only possible way to push out undesirable thoughts of any kind is to fill your mind .with desirable thoughts. We were talking about or three hours. y “How can you stand it?” we asked. She is a very busy woman mwith ne time for supplementary naps. She Thinks of Happy Things When She Lies Awake. «“Why, it doesn’t bother me :much,” she said. “I have so many mice things to think of. I think about all my children, about Ruth’s nurs- ing and John's babies and Lucy's dear little home 1 really “have a’ | pleasant restful time lying there.” You may be interested to - know that this woman dees not think of pleasant things because thére.is noth- ing unpleasant in her life. On_th contrary she has had as many trou bles and has as many problems to face today as any womarn I ever knew. You cannot control your thoughts but lou can learh to direct them,— and .you cannot learn anything more valuable. Syp wakeful- very ARTISTIC FRAMING The J. C. Ripley Art Co.
