HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison’s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife How Mrs. Lukens Solved the Problem for Madge. “What's to be done?" Dicky signalled the guestion to me the weeping figure of his mother. I reflected bit eynically that his little appeal was distinctly masculine. He had in his own slangy vernacular, pilled the beans,” and expected the woman nearest to him to pick them up and restore them to their proper place again. I made a “shooing’’ motion with my hands, which he understood and heeded by getting out of the room Without delay. 1 smiled after his flying figure, then went to my weep- ing mother-in-law and put my arms about her. “Now, mother,” 1 said, coaxingly, *“you know Richard doesn't mean a thing by his nonsense. His tongue Is just hung in the middle, that's all. And you'll get your eyes all red, and that will never do for the dinner. 'lousn go on with your dressing and Jeave this mattar of Junior with me. I'll plan some way. If 1 cannot I'll stay myself. But you're the one of us all, except Dicky, who must be there tonight Dicky, of course, is best man and naturally has t0 be at the dinner, while T do not. And Miss Paige distinctly sald that there would be & number of plder people there, and that she cspaecially wished you 1o meet them. It would be a fine commentary on us, wouldn't It, 1f Dicky and I reported that we left you at home with the baby? She snilfed, gulped, wiped her eyes, and I knew that her little brainstrom was ovor, “I suppore it wouldn't be treating Misa Palge right,” she said doubt- tully. “But however will you mang AL97 T—I dMn’t mean any reflection on yon, Margarct, when [ sald I used to stay &t home with my babi “I know you didn't,” I sald c and hastily, for the tremolo stop was out again in her voice, and 1 feared another deluge of tears. “And I'm quite sure I won't have to stay at home either. Can you manage the ¥est of your dressing without me?" “Yes, yes, wo along, and fix up a plan if you can,” she said hurried- ly I promptly availed myself of the permission by leaving the room and alrly running down the corridor, out tho door. and across the lawn to Mrs. Lukens' big house. Junior Is Provided for. Through the windows, across which the curtains were not drawn, I saw the trim little figure seated in a rocking chair before the open fire, which I had learned she invarlably Uahted w the chill of dusk came across a eerily | on, her skirt turned primly back over ber pes s0 that the heat of the re should not hurt it, a drop light n a small reading table by her side, and a book in her hand. 1. knacked, opening the door di- rectly after. “l saw you through the window,”™ I sald. as I entered, “and thought I would save you,the trouble of rising. I hope T wasn't too unceremonious.” “¥om were just right,” she said hos- pitably. “Will you sit down, or am I right in thinking you are too busy for that tonight?” “I eame over for advice. Is Mandy faithful and responsible enough to take care of the baby this evening until we come back?" Her response was prompt and de- cided. “Faithful enough, yes. Responsible, no. But tell me how long you are going to be gone—you're all going, I take it I explained at length, not forget- ting ta mention Katle, whose wonder- ful care of badby and my dependence on her had made me fail to plan for the present emergency. She nodded comprehendingly. “I know fust how it is" she said. “I had a mald llke that once, and only om But there will be. no difficulty about tonight. You do not know that I am a victim of insomnia, and that T don't go to sleep until long after midnight. I always read in the evenings, and it does not mat- ter to me where 1 read. You ask Mandy to stay with the baby, and 1 will go over and sit with her until you come back. A Saddening Thought. “And on the night of the wedding, to which 1 am also invited, 1 know a responsible woman who will be very glad to come over for a small con- sideration to keep an eye on Mandy. You see, Mandy is splendid with bables, and yours loves her—he wouldn't be frightened if he woke up and found her with him, which is, @f course, the first consideration— but she is too irrcsponmsible to Dbe trusted alone.” “I hate to slowly “If it troubled me, it,” she retorted. “‘Don’t be silly. I'll be only too glad of the chance to bend over a haby again. Mine are far away from me in yecars and feel- ing now." There was a note in her voice that vaguely saddened me ag I hurried back to the cottage, relieved though I was at the practical solution of my difMicuilty. But I wondered if some- time 1, too, would sit alone—my baby “far away from me in years and I said trouble you,” 1 wouldn't do We are sorr to see bleached (artifically whltened) Flour being offered for sale in New Britain.
