OF A WIFE v By ADELE GARRISON ‘Why Did Dicky Say '“Don’t - Worry About the Price?” For'a moment the French millin- ery room at Hambel's went black be- fore my eybs. Then the mist cleared, and I again saw the face of “Edith,” the ginl from Virginia, her:flower-like face upturned to Dicky's beneath the blue hat I had wished to purchase. I drew a little nearer to them as if fascinated. They were 8o engrossed in each other that they naticed nothing. The girl was speaking, and I felt that I must hear what she said. - “But you ought not to get this one, /| Dicky,” she said, and in - her volce there was the famillarity of long in- timate friendship. ‘I am afraid you're an awfully extravagant boy. “Don't worry about the price.” There was the trace of irritation in Dicky's voice that always appears when any one tries to limit his ex- penditure. “The hat just suits you; it will be perfectly stunning with that white suit with the blue 'mmings, and it is the last word in modishness, or I'm no judge. We'll take it.” The seleswoman hovered over him, pencil in hand, and I distinctly heard Dicky give her his studio address. Then, &8 he took out his billbook to pay for.the hat, I turned and, re- gardless of what the saleswoman who had waited upon -me might think, rushed toward the seclusion of the waiting room. My world had fallen in ruins around me, and I felt that I must reach some place where I could face my misery. Then the thought of Mrs. Durkee made me pause. What could I say to her? A Toll From But the aoctual physical {llness which was fast overwhelming me soon made me forget almost the exist- ence of my little neighbor. I stumbled through the waiting room to the door of the room marked ‘Rest.” The white-capped attendant rose to meet me, exclaimed as she ‘saw my face and then silently and helpfully guided my footsteps into an inner room and handed me over to. a trained nurse. I grasped her hands wildly, “I am Mrs. Graham,” I stammered. “Tell Mrs. Durkee outside—" Then I fainted dead away. ‘When I came to myself again 1 was lying on a cdt, there was a strong smell of hartshorn in the air and Mrs, Durkee’'s frightened face was beside that of the nurse. Dicky!” I said feebly, T'l1 telephone for him right away,” ! Mrs. Durkee said, but .at the horror- stricken “No! NO!"” which burst from me she stopped and stared at me open-mouthed. *“Is she delirious?” I heard her ask the nurse fearfully, as I closed my eyes again, and I felt the nurse's careful, steady fingers upon my pulse. “No,” the nurse replied, “nor is she ll. I think she has had a shock of some kind. Let her rest now. She will be all right in a few minutes. But don’t bother her with questions.” My gratitude to the woman for her cheerful sanity can never be measured in words. I clung to her hand and pulled her down to me. “Tell her to go and eat her luncheon,” I whispered, “and then to'| come back here for me. I'll try to &o to sleep for a little while. But she mustn’t telephone my husband until I give her permission.” I could her Mrs, Durkee's expostu- lation, and her gradual ylelding to the persuasion of the nurse. Then through helf-closed eyes I saw Rer slip a bill {nto the nurse’s hand ‘with the injunction to:get me ‘“‘coffee, broth, anything she needs,” and with a troubled backward look at me she went out of the room. Is Madge’s “Dream” Over? ‘With a sigh of relief I turnéd my face to the wall., The nurse bent oyet me sgain, ‘and I spoke evenly, steadily, “I'should ltke to be alone for a little while, if you do not mind.” “I will be within call in the next room,” she answered, with wonderful understanding, and I blessed ‘her thoughtfulness as she went out, For I could not bear the thought of any human eye upon me as I wrestled ‘with the awful problem which con- fronted me. My dream of happiness with my husband was over. That I knew when I eaw him pull out his purse to pay for the hat he had just selected for the pretty Virginia art student, whose friendship with, him had vaguely troubled me for some_time. 3 No friendship, however, could ex-' cuse the sordid thing I had just wit- nessed. To my Puritanical mind there was but one explanation for a girl's permitting & man, especially a married man, to buy clothing, and that was an explanation that made me shudderingly cover my face with my hands and rock my body in torment. BUSINESS MEN'S EXCHANGE To Be Established at Dyon's Fair and Will Not Be For Talkers But For Doers. Rome, June 22.—'"Talk, words, won't whip Germany either in a military sense now or in a commer- cial sense after the war,” said Ed- ward Herriot, senator of France, war mayor of Lyons, member of the French economic council and a del- egate here to the international com- meroclal conference. ““So far as concerns France and the United States, I want to see the business men of the two nations get together now and talk business and do business in a big way. I have been invited to the United States and may /go there in August or Septem- ber. I have never been there, but mow that we are allles, I wish to in order to meet people and under- stand the country better. In the Lyons Fair which we have now held for two years and which we will again hold next March, there will be an especial branch for business men.” “Only since the United States be- came an ally have we determined to | establish at the Lyons Fair a branch, | to -be known as the Business Men's : Exchange. This branch will not be ! for talkers but for doers. I am said | to be more like an American than a Frenchman, and I want to get Amer- ican men of action to come over to | | this fair. Last March Americans did { business to the amount of forty-eight ; milions there, and 1 hope this next | March they will do more. Amer- | icans need to know more about the things we have to sell In France, | and we in particular need the heav) machine parts made in America for construction work. We need to be | taught some of the American’s ways of organizing business, of doing It: | quickly.” | “This Business Men's Exchange will give Americans a chance to do ! business not only with us, but with Italians, with Englishmen, with | Spaniards and others. For instance, ' it might lead to the building of the' projected . canal from Geneva, Swit- zerland, to Lyons, the center of in- dustrial France, on down to Mar- seilles, connecting with the great river Rhone-Marseilles canal now be- ing completed. This exchange ought ; to lead to the electrification of . some of the French and Itallan rail- | roads, to the building of plants to utilize the water power of the moun- tain streams of these two countries. “There’s plenty of big business do- ing over here and we want the big business. men .of. America to. help.us to .share.in it"” i . of & clam-bake and out Next week, Monday, Tuesday and ‘Wednesday, everybody’s favorite, Douglas Fairbanks, in his latest pic. ture, “In Again, Out Again.” This s the first artcraft photoplay since Mr. Fairbanks has gone into making his own pictures and oritics claim that this is the best picture that he has ever appeared in. They say it is fifty reels of joy boiled down into six. “Laugh and the World Laughs With You, Cry and You the Gate,” contends smiling Wousln Fairbanks. There will be no cause | for “getting the gate” if you see him at the Lyceum. Don't forget the prices are reduced. Matinees, all seats, bc. Evenings, all seats, 10c. Performances at 1:30 and 7 p. m. EXCELSIOR MODELS IN CLASSIC POSES \ Presenting & classic posing novelty the Excelsior models, a group of at- tractive young women, are finding fa- vor at Keeney’s this week for their tableaux. They give a series of pic- tures that are arranged in artistic fashion and make a strong appeal to the aesthetic mind.

This committee will meet séon to make preparations.

" - To be l\in, you can probably bal- ance these with storiss of the women who waste thelr husbsad's’ mondy, but be honest now,—don't you know : five women who have to hold th husbands back to one man who. troubled by:an. extravagant wite?” Every Now and Then They Upset the Balance. Besides these unbelievably mean husbands, there are others who are in the main reasonable in their ap- portionment of the money but who have occasional of extrava- gance when they completely upset the family exchequer. And then the little wife who has been anxlously keeping everything balanced, so much for clothes, so much for rent, so much for food and so much for sav- ings, must scrimp and manage and contrive for a month or two to get things straight again. Perhaps the savings account is sacrificed. Or perhaps she decides she doesn’'t need o new spring suit after all. Ho Comes Home Minus a Ten Dollar BilL I have a friend whose handsome amiable good hearted husband .usu- ally gives her the whole of hig sal- ary which is barely enough to cover the needs of themselves and three growing youngsters. He knows this perfectly well and yet every onmce in a while he will go on a spending spree and come home minus a - ten dollar bill. “He met an old friend he had to entertain, or he had a chance to buy a wonderful fishing rod cheap. My friend's greatest horror is debt, —Yyou can imagine how easy it is to keep out of it under these conditions.
