HOLDING A HUSBAND ’s New Phase of Adele Garrison _ Revelations of a Wite Be Suggestion Mother Graham’s Annoyance Drew From Dicky. & “Telegram for you, Mis' Graham.” Jderry Ticer stood in the doorway of r sitting room, cap in hand. With sbandaged but practically unhurt linior enthroned in a high chair, ' Dicky, Mother Graham, my father snd I were gathered around the cheon table discussing one of Mrs. er's delicious meals, and the cheer- news of Marion, which Dicky and had brought from the hospital. W My first thought, as always, was Qme of panic at thé menace which might lie in the yellow envelope. My | second was a selfist one of relief as My eves swept the table where all those nearest to me were gathered. it one glance at my mother-in-law's white face made me snatch the envel- . O@pe and tear it open. Her daughters in faf away cities are always in her fnind when telegraphic messages ar- wve. A _ “It's from Jim,” I said quickly, ’bbking at the signature first, that I g‘éght the sooner relleve her anxiety. en I read the message aloud. Y#‘Goods started this mornins. @rything all right. morrow. Ev- Will arrive to- “JIM.” What Does He Mean?” # “Why, drat the man!” My mother- in-law’s fright vented itself In the ir- ritated comment. “What does he mean by just tomorrow. He doesn't give yowiany train or anything! And why cculdn't they have come today . if the load got off this morning? They wouldn't havo to leave Murvin until § o’clock ,thii afternoon. 1 know— they're taking a skylark for them- selves before coming ‘out! It prob- ably isn’'t Jim's fault, at that. But that ape of a Katie—I wouldn't trust her a rod.” Dicky winked at me, taking good care that his mother should not ste him, while the corners of my father's euth quirked with wulet ausement. Her characterization of Katie is noth- novel to any-of us. It isa term in Mly use in my mother-in-law’s vo- gabulary when Katie Is around. And pet, though my little maid tries my Ether-in-law'a slender stock of pa- ca sorely, she getuinely likes tha gifl—a liking which Katie, I think, pow returns, though fror years she féared and detested the older woman. $¥Perhaps Jim wanted to see his relatives before starting,” I suggested: 1 have a curious little objection to heuring Katie censured, although 1 frequently have to reduce her to or- der myself. But she has been with me so long, and has rendered me so many signal and faithful services that 2 i 3 R P he is far more a member of the fam- ily than a servant. “His relativees!"” snorted my moth- er-in-law in a tone shich consigned poor Jim and his reiatives to the nethermost depth of oblivion. “What under—" ‘“Pass me the poiper, dearie, let me pipe it,” Dicky drawled vokingly. As 1 ‘obediently handed over the telegram his mother turned on him, glad, I think, of a scapegoat for her irritation. I shrewdly suspected that Dicky had employed his queer phrase- ology simply to give her a chance at him. and pro- “Jusi Ten Words.” “Richard!”" she said-sharply. “Yes, ma'am.” He ducked his head in an imitation of Jerry Ticer's man- nerisms, which made me simuldta a choke to hide a delighted chuckle. Jerry says ‘“Yes, ma’am” and “No ma’am,” whether he is answering man, woman or child. Then I re- membered that Jerry was still stand- ing in the doorway, and I flashed a quick glance of copunction at him, wondering if he had heard and re- sented Dicky’s little by-play. But the good-natured.lad; who, though hon- est, loyal and industrious, will never, in Mother Graham's parlance, “set the river afire,”” only laughed delight- edly at Dicky, with apparently never a suspition that he was the butt of the older man's jest. “If you can't talk decent English, leave the room.” My mother-in-law’s voice snapped and cut like the end of a whiplash. “Yes, ma’am, thank you, ma'am,” Dicky bobbed his head again, then held the telegram before his face, ap- parently for closer scrutiny. But I knew that a broad zrin of mischief was hidden by the yellow sheet. X “Just ten words, he after a second’s study. answer.” “The answer to what,” snapped his mother. “I didn’t know anybody had asked a question yet.’ “Let mo elucidate, Mine,’”” Dicky replied solemnly, hitching his chair nearer to the ta- ble, and clearing a place By his plate where ha could spread the telegram out. “Jim is a theifty soul, and has heard, no doubt, that there is an ov- ercharge for évery word over ten. Therefore he confines his message to ten words, leaving us in doubt as to which train hé means to come on. I don’t see what difference it makes at tha! “Only the difference of meeting ev- ery train—'" “Of which there are three,” announced “That’s the Mother o’ Dicky Tradamark ME " TA egiitarear LES “THE: TALE OF £) A NEW KIND OF PIG. GRUNTY Pl Y957 BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY, ‘Y 0000 4 s P ning about inside the saw-dust-strewn Cficy “Stop! grunting and squealing and:floor of the tiny house, one or another follow ‘me!” ‘old dog Spot growled. | And Grufity > Pig, who had just ~ ‘tumbled thréough a hole in the fence, _scrambled to his feet and trotted aft- _er his gu ; Old Spot ‘Had promised to show Grunty a dozen pink and white pigs, all withouf tails. He wanted Grunty to see how handsome they looked. “Tkese pigs” he said, “won't ever have tails’ “You’ll like them,” Spot told Grun- ty over his shoulder as they jogged across the farmyard. “Youwll ask #Farmer Green this very day to cut off your tail and nail it up on the barn. I tell you, these pigs look neat. There's style about them.” “Umph! Umph! said Grunty as he shuffled along behind. “Now,-I wonder what he means by that!” Spot mused. It was some- times hard to tell whether Grunty's umphs stood for yes or no. Around the corner of the farm- house, near the woodshed door, old Gog Spot came to a halt before a wire cage. Stopping beside Spot, Grunty Pig peered inside the cage. He saw a number of odd little creatures run- Pig DOROTHY GISH “Turning the Tables” “Swede” Roberts & Boyne; | Victoria Hall & Fenton. Healey Quintette; Billy l TODAY — CONTINUOUS I | | | I Hal & Co.; of them giving a faint squeak now and then as if ordering the two un- asked callers to move on. Whoever they were, they were a bright-eyed little family. But Grunty Pig thought, as he stared at them, that they had a most peculiar look. There seemed to be something miss- ing about them. Yet he couldn’t tell just what it was. Together Grunty and Spot stood there, silent, for a time; until at last Grunty said, “Come along! Let’s not stay here any longer. I want to see those twelve pig: without tails.” Old dog Spot snorted. “You want to see them!” he cried. “Well, nobody’s stopping you. They're right here in front of you!"” Grunty Pig’s mouth fell open—he was so astonished. He knew, now, what made the little, pudgy, white strangers look so queer. There wasn’t one of thém that had even a hint of a tail! Then all at once Grunty turned angrily upon old dog Spot. “These aren’'t pigs!” he squealed. “You needn’t think you can fool me. They're not pigs at all.” ““Oh, yes—they are!” Spot insisted. “You didn’t suppose that all the pigs in the world were exactly like your family—did you?” Grunty didn’t know what to say. He, looked at the odd little creatures again. And then h~ looked at Spot once more. “If these really are pigs,” he fal- tered, “they must be very, very young. They’r» certainly smaller than any day-old pigs I ever saw. Maybe their tails haven't sprouted yet.” Old dog Spot seemed to choke over something. He turned his head away for a moment or two before he spoke. “These pigs,” he said, “won’t have tails. Not one of them would know what to do with a tail if you gave him one. They don’t want tails. They have no use for them. And now that you see for yglirself how happy they are without fails, you ought not to delay any longer about having yours cut off. I hope,” Spot added, “T'll see your tail nailed up on the barn to- morrow, where everybody can see " Then Grunty Pig said that surprised him. “Why don’t you have your tail cut off?” he asked Spot. And before old Spot could think of an answer, Joknnie Green came running out of the woodshed. Grunty and Spot both turned and ran in opposite directions. Grunty didn’t see Spot again for mora than a week. When they did at last meet, old Spot never mentioned tails at all. To tell the truth, he seemed to feel somewhat ashamed of himself for having tried to play a trick on Grun- ty Pig. Or maybe he felt ashamed because he was caught at it. something own Tomorrow—Grunty Goes a Nutting. |Ana Jasper Jay Objects.

At both performances, especially the evening, Josh Dreano, who was reécently with the Marto Carlo girls, nearly started a riot with his dances and clever sayings. On the same pro- gram the Japanese scored a big hit. They have two clever comedians and sing very pretty songs. The Gypsy Wanderers who have just closed with a Boston Opera company did some- thing that has not been done or heard of before in New Britain for the past two years. Martinetti, the Silent Fool, kept them all puzzled in his funny way. Jones and Crumbly, two col- ored boys, did exceptionally well. Her- man and Clifton proved to be very nifty entertainers. Viola Dana was starred in her latest picture, “Home Stuff.” GUS EDWARDS’ ACT AT PALACE.
