HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison’s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife Why Betty Kane Sent for Madge. I went around In what my little mother would have termed a “‘daze” for the rest of the day, following my wstonishing Interview with Dicky con- cerning my experjence with Rita Brown. I had been shown an entirely new phase of my husband’s character, and ] was not quite certain whether or not I liked it. *Dicky’s rages I had seen frequent- ly, so often, in fact, that they had ceased to make me suffer much, had become annoying or amusing, as cir- cumstances might direct. His volatile moods, his utterly irresponsible boy- ish tricks, had long since become an ordinary routine, I had wondered sometimes if he would ever grow up, and here, over night, as it were, I found a mentor, a judgy, in the place af the irresponsible boyish husband I had known My Peter Pan! Had he grown up at last? Would I never again feel the mixture of annoyance and thrilled s.a- ¢ miration which his pranks gave me? With a humorous little recojlection of the nonsense he had mixed with his &rave lecture, I realized that Dicky's chief charm would stay with him always. But I think it wes given me in that maoment to know that his volatile boy- ishness would be his only as an ad- Junct to his character, not as an in- tegral part of it, as it had seemed to me to be. There came to me, too, a realization that I must readjust my- melf to this new state of affairs, and with the realization eame the knowl- edge of a strange, new feeling for my husband dawning within my con- sclousness. A Strange Summons. I have loved Dicky wildly, pas- sionately, have intensely admired his talents, have been extremely angry at him, foolishly jealous of him, but looking back over my married life, I do not know—I am ashamed to ad- mit it even to myself—that I ever have really respected his judgment and common sense as a wife ought to be able to do. I wondered in these hours of re- adjustment if the fault had been one of perception on my part or of real lack in Dicky. Had he suddenly grown to man's mental stature, or bad my eyes been selfishly, foolishly blinded during all these years? I had plenty of leisure for my in- trespection and retrospection, for Dicky disappeared shortly after he had taken me back to the house, and remained away for the rest of the day. Mother Graham declared irrit- ably that she knew he was still look- ing up real estate agents, and her speculations as to his probable rea- sons for so doing were the only dis- turbing currents in the even flow of my day until the late afternoon, when a small boy appeared at the door with a note addressed to me in a prim, angular chirography. “Whoever in the world can be writing to you?” my mother-in-law inquired curiously, and I felt her keen eyes upon me, as with a muttered NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, word of apology I tore the note open. Betty Kane's Mystery. “It is from Betty Kane,” I said, as I glanced at the signature, and then began to read the short note. “Betty Kane!” She's the crippled girl who runs the tea room, isn’t she?"”" Mother Graham queried next, and I nodded an assent without speaking, for 1 was absorbed in the message which Betty Kane had written. “Dear Mrs, Graham,” it began, “Will you please, if possible, run in to see me today sometime between 5 and 6? There is something here which I think you ought to see. Very Cor- dially Yours, “BETTY KANE. “Why don't you read it aloud?"’ my mother-in-law queried impatiently, and I did so, though with a queer lit- tle feeling of reluctance, as though the message were something which con- cerned me alone. “She’'s probably got something there she wants to sell to you,” Mather Graham commented tartly when I had finished. “They always see you coming, ) aret, in ev town you land. 1 suppose, however, it won't do any harm to go over and sce what she wants. It must be terrible to bave that affliction.” I smiled tenderly at the quirkiness of my mother-in-law. I knew that she would be as eager as I to aid Betty Kane in any way, but she must have her caustic comment first, I dressed hastly—for the hour the crippled woman had named was near at hand—and walked swiftly to the little tea room. little cakes for which Betty hands were fmous. She wheeled her chair to meet me as soon as she could leave her other guests, and I saw with surprise that her usually placid face was lined with worry. “Please make an excuse to stay until the rest are gone,” she whis- pered. “T must see you alone.” Kane's Matches Domino‘] Package Sugars in Quality American Sugar Refining Company “Sweeten it 1 found it filled with | guests, sipping tea and munching the | 'HerbertE.
