E News o‘ | Tbeaters an Women Reae The Wet Blanket Parent A little friend of mine had a per- fectly glorious plan for building ‘- a tiny tea hous It was to consist en- tirely of a veranda and an open fire- place “because those are things peo- ple like best.” She took her plans to the carpenter and he told her he could build it for the sum she was willing to use. She stopped at my house on. the way home radiant with excitement and hopes. She is a clever little cook, she ‘has an excellent location. Her one fear had been that the carpen- tery work would be beyond her. She fairly bubbled over with hope must run - home she sald as sho The next day I met her and ukafl what her mother said. “Oh mother just said, ‘they’ll promise anything,’ when I told her about the carpen- ter.” She sighed, ‘“Mother isn't very en- thustastic, you know.. I suppose peo- ple aren’t when they get older.” The radiance was gone from her face and voice. I could just picture the way her mother looked when she said that, I know her mother. I know just what kind of a wet bunkat.lhe can be. Isn't “Wet Blanket” a Good Phrase? “What an excellent description ‘that phrase “wet blanket” is by the way! We say it automatically and REVELATIONS forget the -wonderful simile it oon- tains. Could anything be more un- comfortable and depressing than coming into contact with a cold, wet, clammy blanket? And oonsidering that my friend’s enthusiasm had through that process what it had faded in a day? One of the nicest mothers I know— and one of the busiest—has - been squeezing out some extta time to help . her little girl get subscriptions in a pony contest. *No,” she said, “I don’t think she'll get it and her father thinks it's all nonsense - but when she came to me all enthusiastic and wanted me to help I just couldn’t bear to be a wet blanket. I know too well what that's like.” Dike Pushing a Dead Weight. Another girl who has accomplished quite a little in a rather unusual business told me that every step she took was taken to a family chorus of “You can’t possibly do that,” “That's no kind of work for a woman,” “It ‘will be too much for you,” eto. “It was like pushing a dead weight al] the time,” she said, “and if I ever have any children I'm going to try above all things not to hang back. )Of course I'll try to give them good advice but I'll give them sympathy and encouragement first.” OF A WIFE little Ppassed ‘wonder By ADELE GARRISON Why Did Dicky Exiil His Silence With an Amazing Statement? ou should see all the new things |, we bought today. You boys will have to draw dozens of pictures if you ex- pect to dress us properly.” Littla Mrs. Durkee looked up from her salad and smiled roguishly as she spoke. Although she did not realize i it, the moment she had seised was the first one in which I had allowed her the chance to speak of our shop- ping expedition. I had kept the con- versation in my own hands, not wish- ing to have Dicky learn we had been at Hambel’s until our dinner was well toward its close. I had a shrewd idea that he would have little appetite for the rest of it when he should learn that from the time we were there I might Have been a witness ot his purchases for “Bdith.” % “We're willing to keep our noses to the grindstone in so, charming a he said. Alfred Durkee’'s devotion to his mother is & most beautiful thing. fle teases her at times, but he is al- ways pleasing her with gallant little speeches which I know she treasures. “Depends upon how good looking the togs are,” returned Dicky, throw- ing a provocative glance at me which 1 -pretended not to see, “I'm. per- fectly willing td apply aforesaid valu- able nose to said grindstone if .anly the results justify the pain. Trot out the clothes and I'll give them the once over and announce my verdict.” “Sounds ke a murder trial,” shivered Mrs. Durkee in affected re- pugnance. ‘But you can't see ‘em, Dicky boy, until they're altered, and Hambel’'s are always slow about al- terations. “There Myself Today.” “Hambel's!” Into Dicky's eyes there leaped a sudden gleam, and his figure stiffened. “I thaught you said you shopped at Tracy’s,” . he added quickly, turning to me, and in his voice there was a reproachful note and another which I was sure was dis- may. “We were at Tracy’s when I tele- phoned,” I returned innocently, “but we did almost all of our shopping at Hambel's.” Dicky leaned back and looked at me warily. As for me, I began to realize how a participant in an ex- citing game of .poker feels. I almost lost sight of my terrible grievance | against ey husband in my anxiety to make him do the questioning which I was sure would follow my admis- sion. . “Wonder I didn’t run into you,” he said-at last. “I was in there myself today.” . “For You—Madge?” “Oh-h how funny!” Mrs, Durkee squealed. “How I wish we had met you, Dicky-bird. I'd have made you get your wife & hat that was just made for her, and that she wouldn't take because it was =0 expensive. Al then when she went ‘back after it, it was gone. But she bought a pretty suit, though. I shall certainly remember that suit department. I thought I'd never get through look- It was lo 3 after 1 ‘After. cky repeated mechani- cally, and I had & malicious enjoy- ment in . him < mentally cal- culate the hour.at which he was also in -the department, “Mrs. must ‘have had enough of it,” little. Mrs. Durkee rattled on. "“She stayed there while J had my suit fitted. - I kmow of lots pleasanter places to wait, but she liked to watch the shoppers. . Pretty nearly did her ‘up, though.” She bit her lip and stopped ab- ruptly, evidently remembering earler admonltlon of mine to make no_Teference to my ‘indisposition. I hall told ‘her that I didn't wish to Dicky, I could imagine her consternation if I told her the real reason that I did not wish my hus- band to guess what misery the know- ‘ledge of his faithlessness had caused me. “I always enjoy watching shoppers,” I hastened to siy. “One often learns the most astonishing and surprising lessons from them.” Dicky looked at me sharply. I knew that he was trying to discover from my words and manner whether or not I had really seen him. But I fancy he learned nothing either from my words or my careless smile. “Let’s hear about these wonderful suits,” he said, settling back in his chair, and I knéw that for the pres- ent at least he would ask no more direct questions. “They’re just stunning,” Mrs. Dur- kee broke in, “although it’s a won- der we got anything: with the dyes the way they are. You couldn’t get a gréen suit at all, and the shades of brown were simply hideous.' I don’t see what the warld is coming to, if this war keeps up much longer. We'll all have to wear white or blue—they seem to have all sort of blues. But Agioodnoul‘ you can’t wear.blue all the ime." Both men shouted, and I could not help but smile at the little woman’s grievances. But she minded the mirth not at all, and went on with a detailed description of the suits. I had the feeling while she was talking that Dicky was not listening to her, that instead he was covertly ‘watching me, making up his mind to something. ' And when she finally wound up her description he struck in abruptly, irrelevantly: “I bought a bat for you myself today, Madge.” “YANKEE PLUCK" IS SHOWING AT FOX'S The feature of the Fox program for today and tomortow is Bthel Clay- ton’s latest world production, ‘“Yankee Pluck.” This is a big five-reel mas- terpiece of love, romance, and . inter- national politics, in which a charming girl, the belle of Washington society proves the mettle of American womanhood by her undaunted heroism in facing the most severe test of her life, in which are mingled the important elements of filial duty, love of her filance, family honer, and above all, the welfare of the United States.
