Then with a swift re- ijembrance of Lillian’s little ways hen visiting me, I turned to Katle, frankly puzzled. “Why didn’t Mrs. Underwood come straight upstairs to my room?” I asked. “She not even in house,” Katie an- swered demurely. ‘“She outdoors on porch.

I hurried downstairs and out of the door, pretending not to hear the im- perative command of “Margaret, come in nere first” which my mother-in- Jaw sounded from the living room.

And Ma change your clothing before you back upstairs.” ret, g0 Why Lillian Wait It was the old imperious, dominant tone, which I had almost forgotten, for in the months preceding the birth of my baby I had been so absorbed in caring for Dicky in his convalescence and preparing for the coming of the little stranger that I had been glad | to relegate all household questions to my mother-in-law, who appeared to have taken a new lease of health and | strength after her share in the ex- | citing events culminating in the cap- ture of Grace Draper and her fellow- conspirators. Thus we rarely clashed, for she was perfectly happy in administering our ! ratherscomplex household, and T was glad to be left with Dicky. How she | and Katie managed I never knew, feared to inquire, content with the knowledge that they had never reached a breaking point. But in the indignity offered to my triend, the humiliating command to me, I instantly realized a crisis which must be met promptly and decisively. | fetched I had not been without little indica- The Spanish I THE CHICEST OF THE CHIC This afternooa gown is very chic 1d effective to say the least.

I knew that she was passionately fond of her grandson Dicky's namesake, and that she carried her devotion to the absurd degree of wishing to sacrifice the comfort of everybody in the house, even Dicky included, to her far- and strictly self-determined ideas of what was best for him. Instinctively I turned to Lillian for the support which she has alway: given me. But she stood motionle silent, with an air of aloofness about her which I had rarely seen before. I caught her meaning instantly with a shamed flush at my own irresolution. The memory of a painful conversatior with her upon the submissive atti- tude into which I had unconsciously drifted flashed back searingly upon my brain. Lillian was waiting to see how I would cope with this difficult situation so suddenly thrust upon me. | beacon line. | SIGN FAIR PRICE PLEDG Retail Grocers Join Campaign.
