WONAN MADE WELL REVELATIONS OFAWIFE By ADELE GARRISON Why Madge Envies Katio's Primitive Methods of Dealing With Her Marital Problems, Dicky looked up at me sulkily as I Brought not one but two.water bags | to the bedside and put them against his back at the spots where he in- dicated the pain was worst, \ I suppose you’re satisfied now,” he grumbled, evidently referring to my plea a few minutes before that he allow me to apply them. “Not that I suppose the blasted things will do any - gbod, but I might as well try some- ‘thing. ' He turned over with his face against |ithe wall ,and I shifted the bags again, 'covsred him up’ warmly and tiptoed itoward the doar. “Where are you Mng?'- Dicky de- manded. “Back to my room.” /‘Huh! Care & lot about my being +, sick, don't you? Well, get along to your book, I suppose you've got your nose stuck in one.” 3 Long experience with Dicky has taught me the futility of replying when he is in a disagreeable mood, %o I said nothing, but drew a low ; rocker to his bedside and sat down. Hé made no other comment than a sort af half-growl, half-grunt, and still without groaning for several nutes. I suspected that the warmth from the hot water bags was relieving - 1 his pain somewhat, but, of course, said { i 1 i | nothing about it. ' His next move was to throw off the | coverings and attempt to rise. He ;u.nk back again instantly, however, i with a groan and demanded savagely: , “I thought you were going to take my temperature.’ | As I went to my room to get my i clinical thermometer I could not i suppress a smile at the remem- i brance of the way Dicky had i fiouted my suggestion of taking ' his | temperature just a little while before. | Irritation at his discourtesy was ! changing into amusement at his ridi- i culous actions. After all, this hus- : band of mine was only & mlky. spoiled child. I washed the thermometer off and shoak it down before I went back into the room, for I knew that any delay < would only -inflame Dicky's raw ! herves.” As I poised it above him he { snarled irritably: “Oh, take that 'solemn would-be- : professional look off your face. LISTEN- TO THIS! 'SAYS CORNS LIFT RIGHT OUT NOW !on\mkh- men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited &n awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, Which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the fingers. It is & sticky ether compound which dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the - sur- rounding tissue or skin. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freez- one will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but is sufficient to rid one’s feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You are further warned that cut- ting at a corn is a suicidal habit. ‘@HARACTER ANALYSIS I GIVEN AT New Britain Y. M. C. A. TUESDAY, MAY 22, 29, F RIDAY, ONLY A FEW OF 1, AT 8 P, M. THE 300 TICKETS LEFT. You're neitife} a nurse nor a doctor, you know, but”anybody’d think you were/dean of a college of surgeons to look at you.” “Never mind my Iook!' I retorted gayly, smiling as cheerfully as I could under the gibing wards, “just put this under your tongue, close your lips upon it, and don’t speak until I take it out.” . “You Haven't Any!” Dicky opened his lips, evidently for another diatribe, but I deftly inserted the thermometer between them, closed them with the fingers of my other hand, and stood smiling down at his angry eyes.” At the end of two ‘minutes I removed it, and, scrutiniz- ing it, found to my relief that histem- perature was perfectly normal. “Well!” Dicky tried hard to make ‘his tone nonchalant, but I detec the anxiety beneath, “how highis it “You haven’t any,” I returned, with just a trifle of malace, for I realized that by this time he was fancying himself very ili indeed. “Haven't any! You must have a fine thermometer, there, or else you don’t know how to read it. Give it here. I handed it over, and Di-ky looked at it carefully. I knew that he was exasperated to find that I had read it cotrectly, but I.did not expect that his bad temper Would lead him to dash the little instrumerit to the floor, where it shattered into tiny pleces. “Get a correct one,” 'he growled, “that thing’s no good! ‘And for heaven's sake don't stand there. 0 helplessly,” he went .on. “You pretend to have good common sense. Can’t you think of something to stop this pain ™ “Go Ask Katle.” ‘Please let me get a Dicky,” I pleadedsagain. “If you say doctor to me again I shall dive right through the window,” he threatened. “If vou can’'t think of anything, T'll just grin and bear it Go ask Katfe. I'll bet she knows something.” He closed his eyes as if the subject were 'finished, and I went out of the room, resalved to do literally as he asked ,and consult Katfe, I was sure from his normal temperature that he was not dangerously ill, and the girl might have some old remedy physician, ‘that would relieve the pain. ! As I went out of the roo T almost stumbled over Katie in hall. I had a shrewd idea that she had been listening, an idea which was strengthened by her first words: “Vot alls Meester Graham?” she began. “I hear him vell, groan so loud, I tink maybe he awful seek. I tell Jim I go upstairs and find ‘eut. Jim he may T better mind my ‘own] bizness, but I tell Jim to shut up, he’ one big fool, and so I coom up see vot I can do.” EWen as I thanked her I had a sym- pathetic little consciousneéss that Katie, too, had to contend with con- jugal rudeness, and I am afraid, there was in my mind also an envy of the primitive methods of dealing with her problems that Katie was privileged to employ. —_— New collars and cuffs are made of organdy and many of them are pleated. SIDE TALKS Try a Dutch Uncle. “It's just as though we were each of us, not one person but a whole lot of persons who sometimes meet and shout together and then disperse and forget and plot against each '—H. G. Wells. A young man sald to me the other day, “There are two distinct ‘me’s.’ One of them gets to talking and blowing and the other comes along half an hour afterwards and says, ‘You-make me sick. What do you do that for, you conceited donkey.’ I wish to goodness that self would stay on the'job straight along instead of coming around afterwards.” The Growing Pains of Seif Analysis Are Healthy. He looked so comical as he screwed up his face in what were evidently the \erowing pains of self analysis that I couldn’'t help laughing, but I knew just what he felt, and respected him for having the sense to feel it. It's only the people who never have that second self come around and. com- plain who have no chance of growing wiser as they grow -older. The Authorman has & funny way of saying, “I talked to myself likke a Dutch uncle.” This is & process he goes through when the Dr. Jekyll in him catches the Mr. Hyde being selfish or mean or not giving some other Authorman due praise. Mr. Hyde usually emerges very much ashamed and at once, does his best to undo his error. Incidentally the Authorman really means that he talks to himself, not just thinks. “It's more impressive that way,” he says. 8o I Tried the Authorman’s Scheme. 1 laughed when he told me that but it's not half so absurd. I know for I've tried it. The first time I ever tried skiing DAINTY SUIT FOR THE HOTEL VERANDA THE PROMB(NADEB. ‘White satin 18 too dainty for ordi- nary wear, but it makes a swagger snit for certain occasions.

After several such experiences & new light broke upon me. I wasn't really losing my balance after all, just my courage. I was simply sitting down because I was scared. And the next time I began to waver, I tried the Authorman's scheme and talked to myself like a Dutch uncle. Right out loud. “Don’t you dare give in!” I sald, “You're perfectly all right. Just keep your courage. DHon't be yellow.” * Right Side Up With Care. And lo, I coasted the length of the hill right side up! Try it sometime when you find yourself tempted to be mean or self- ish or lazy or afraid or downhearted.
