PR HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison’s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife Why Mother Graham’s Decision Relieved Madge. ! Woman-like, I anathematized my own lequacity when Picky made his ofthand proposal to telephone the Durkegs about the plans of Jim and Katie. ' If 1 only could have kept my dismay’ over the situation to myself I railed at myself bitterly, he never would ;have thought of telephoning. Or—my _particular little devil s the opportunity to, wh —was " He per any ex- wcuse, any opportunity for communi- cating, with the house where Edith Fairfax'lived? Subconsci aware . of . the absurdity of gestion, . knowing Dicky’s tempera- ment and that if he wished to tele- phone | Edith Fairfax he would make an opportunity and not wait for one. But when is a woman ever reason- able, or indeed quite: sane, when her Jealousy is. afgused? 1 dard make ‘no objection to . the scheme, for fear Dicky might sus- pect my féeling. =But Mother Gra- ham had no such scruples. “Haye ypu taken leave of your senses? she shrjlled. pending all that money just'to find out what that ape is‘going to do!

All_you've got to do is to get ready fof her, though why you couldn’t let hér clean a place out for herself -after ‘she gets here is more than I. know.. “Yow're just beginning to pamper her here, as you always have and always will, I suppbse, until she gets mad and leaves you.in the lurch 'some day, just when you need her most.” Just a Jest. Wisely, I made no answer to.this tirade, which':Sounded far more un- feeling than it was.

But she had to have her little growl first. “What d6 you. say, Madge?” Did I. imagine it, or was there amused cpmipreliension of my mental state in my -husband’s mind.- ‘At the thought I tugrned hot and would not have made _any objection to: his proposal d known an-actual elopement it “Bd-mz Fairfax “was at’ the ond y‘, I think it would be a very| I. -replied sedately, hoping. there was no suspicion of a tremor -in’ m¥y. véice.

You’'ll be getting fat if you don’t look out, and then you'll lose your husband. I give you solemn warning now—no jowls and double chins for me !” I laughed appreciatively, as only a woman whose tendency it is to be thin can at words like that from a husband. But Mother Graham, who is comfortably cushioned, although trim and compact, ‘glared at him. Dicky is in Trouble. there any other jnsult would like to offcr me before Richard ?” she szid icily, aad her face was white with anger Dicky's jaw dropoed in dismay. and the smile fed from my lips. Neither of us had thought how the reference would af- fect his mother. “Oh, my sainted aunt!” Dicky ex- claimed wildly. “Mother, dear, you know I didn’t mean a single thing by that nonsense. You haven't jowels or a double chin, and, besides, old ladies ought to be fat, anyway. They're cross when they're skinny. Now. when I get whitt whiskers and Madge gets white hair I'm going to Now, when I get white whiskers and shall demand at least two double chins from her. But his mother was not to be pla- cated by his nonsenge. She rose and drew her shawl about her. “I'm going to my room, or at least what I have to call such”—her sniff definitely classified all Mrs. Ticer's ac- commodations as unworthy of men- tion—*"and you can clean or not, get ready for Katie or not, as you see fif. T shall not oversee one single thing. So, Margaret, if you wish to go gal- livanting around the country with Richard instead of attending to your work, I shall not be here to attend to your duties for you.” She swept from the room in her haughtiest manner, while I mentally sang a little paean of thankfulness. Mrs. Ticer, I had already seen, -vas a capable workwomen, but exceeding- ly touchy. She and her son Jerry, were the only help available for the disagreeable cleaning which must be done. 1 had dreaded infinitely Mother Graham’s supervision, for 1 knew that it probably would mean Mrs. Ticer's withdrawal from the work in a rage. e you ou Ko, OFF FOR AFRICA Two Women and One Child Accom- pany Explorer Akeley on Jungle Jaunt New York, Juy 30.—Two women and a child were members of the party that embarked with Carl Akeley on the steamship Baltic today, for a trip into the jungles of Africa.

SL‘E EPY T 1 ) o ME TALES edamark Regiitarsds THE TALE OF BEECHNUTS. Down ‘the hill, a little way from Farmer Green's house, a great beech tree stood beside the road. In the fall, when the nuts wefe ripe, John- le Green often visited the tree. And S0 did Frisky Squirrel. And so, like- wise, did that noisy rascal, ! He looked up.

One fine crisp fall’day when John- nie Green in school, a fourth nut-lover wandered down the road, stopped right between the wheel- tracks, and sniffed. It was Grunty Pig. “I smell beechnuts!” he cried with a joyful squeal. And crashing into the light -underbrush along the road- _— HARTFORD TODAY —» CONTINUOUS DOROTHY GISH —IN— ' “Turnmg the Tables” Healey Quaintette; Billy “Swede” Hall & Co.; Roberts & Boyne; Victoria Hall & Fenton. S _TS sxde, he began to search among the fallen leaves with his long nose. Soon Grunty came upon a cluster of the three-sided nuts, clinging in- side a burr that the frost had split open. He ate the sweet nuts, shells and all, and with many a grunt of delight he grubbed beneath the tree from which the nuts had fallen. His keen nose led him to burs that John- nie Green had trampled over that very morning, and missed. “I wonder—" said Grunty Pig aloud—"I wonder why nobody ever told me about this beech tree.’ “Perhaps it was because you are a pig,” said a voice right over his head. He looked up. And there on a low branch sat Frisky Squirrel. Grunty knew him; he had sometimes seen him around Farmer Green’s corn- crib. “Of course I'm a pig,” Grunty re- torted. “I'm Mrs. Pig's son.” “Well, Mrs. Pig’s son, I notice that you have helped yourself freely to beechnuts.” “I've eaten all I could find,” Grun- ty told Frisky with a grin. “I've eaten all I could find,” Grun- ty told Frisky with a grin. “I don’t heaf any thanks,” Frisky Squirrel remarked. ‘“Don’t you know that these beechnuts belong to me and Jasper Jay and Johnnie Green?"” Jmph!” ou did?” Frisky inquired. Umph!” “Oh, you didn't!” Frisky exclaimed. “Then I suppose I shall have to par- don you. But Jasper Jay wouldn't if he caught you taking any of the nuts that fall from this tree.” There was truth in what Frisky said. Even as he spoke a patch of blue flashed in the top of the beech tree. And a harsh voice sang out, “What's going on here?” Jasper Jay, had arrived. Grunty Pi#, however, did not even give Jasper a glance. Instead, he began nosing about for another beechnut but. For a moment or two Jasper Jay watched him. And then Jasper be- gan to squawk. “Stop that!” he ordered. “Don’t you dare to take any of our beech- nuts!” Jmph!” said Grunty Pig. “I can't find any more on the ground, so I suppose I shall have to obey him,” Grunty muttered half under his breath. “Don’t mumble! Speak up,” cried Jasper Jay. “If you have any ex- (| cuses to make, let's hear. them!” i Sreme \| Monday—What Happened at the Beech Tree and Why Grunty Was | Displeased.

The feature photoplay attraction at the Palace for next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is the photoplay ver- sion of the famous stage play, “Mile- stones.”” As a stage play it had a long run on Broadway and was classed as one of the biggest dramatic hits pro- duced. As a photoplay it is still breaking records. The Keith vaude- ville bill on the same program is fea- tured by the ‘“Florian Four,” four clever girls in a harmony singing of- fering that should be well liked. Oth- er acts include: Will Hayes in a nov- elty act; Kramer and Johnson, a pair of singing and dancing comedians; and Harry Kenean, an excellent en- tertainer. .The management an- nounces that on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of mext week George Choos presents the musical extravaganza, “Two Regular Fellows,” with a cast of twelve performers. SUNDAY AT THE PALACE. The Sunday night program at the Palace offers two excellent features with other short subjects. Dorothy Dalton will be offered in ‘“Guilty of Love,” and Alice Calhoun will be seen in “The Charming Deceiver.” YOU NEVER CAN TELL! Lavender thought Ruth was her mother, and that Ruth was a widow. Yet Ruth had never been married, j and Ruth’s dead sister was really Lavender's mother. As for the father whom Lavender fondly believed to be dead, he was very much alive, though quite unconscious of the fact that he had a child. And he was tfying his best to iseparate Lavender from her lover. Mary Miles Minter is the star, these notices are’ written by the press tractions with which they deal, Paul Powell, who directed “Pollyan- na” and “All in a Night” is director and Harold Goodwin, Sylvia Ashton, Milton Sillsand Theodore Roberts are in the cast. It appears at the Lyceum Sunday evening only. Also on the pro- gram, Mare Doro appears in the most mystifying picture “12:10,” which cored a big run in the New York theaters. Snub Pollard comedy, Topics of the Day, and Aesop’s Fables, a qne Milton Sills and Theodore Roberts are shown. LYCEUM VAUDEVILLE For the first half of next week a vaudeville program has been select- ed at the Lyceum to surpass all others that have been appearing. The head- liner is the Marco Twins the only imi- tators of Mutt and Jeff. The twins have been a recognized standard act for the past two decades, many times efforts have been made to pro- duce an act similiar but always have failed. This no doubt was due to the fact that the personal appearance of the artists was impossible to duplicate for one elongated spccimen of humani- ty is over six feet tall while the other is a squat chunky dwarfish chap who is unable to top a yard stick in height. This disparity in appearance and- size is laughable but when accentuated by a ludicrous makeup their appear- ance is always hailed with screams of laughter. They do dancing, acrobatic stunts and sing like the night birds. The Jim Jam Trio, another act which will help to make everybody smile The Earl Sisters, Sax and Wheler, Manalo Bros. ano Danse Vareties will complete the vaudeville program. May Allison the moving picture queen will appear in “Extravagance.” Which portrays most truly and poignantly what Nancy's attitude wrought with her own life and that of the man she loved.

Drain cucumbers from brine and heat brine.- Bring to boil- ing point and pour over cucumbers. Let stand three days. Drain cucum- bers from brine, put into glum wa- ter and let stand over night. Drain trom alum water. Put vinegar, cu- cumbers and spices in preserving ket- tle and bring to the boiling point. Pack cucumbers in sterling glass jars, pour over boiling vinegar and seal. The jars must be brimming full and the vinegar at boiling point. Chunk Pickles. Use large slicing cucumbers for these pickles. Soak in a strong brine for three days. Drain from brine and soak in clear water for three days. Simmer in weak vinegar for two hours. A small lump of alum should be added to the vinegar. Cut cucumbers in pieces convenient for serving. Put pickles in jar and pour over the following mixture: One ounce stick cinnamon, 1 ounce whole cloves, 1 ounce whole allspice, 3 pounds brown sugar, 2 pints vinegar. Bring to boiling point and pour over cucumbers. Drain off vinegar and heat to boiling point three mornings. Cover with a big plate and keep in a dark, cool place. Sweet Pickles Wash small cucumbers and wipe with a cloth. Make a brina strong enough to hold up an egg and let the cucumbers stand in this brine over night. In the morning drain and wash in clear water. Add enough vinegar to fresh water to give the water a vinegarish taste. It depends on the strength of }he vinegar as to the proportions to use. Let the cu- cumbers heat in this solution until they whiten. Pack in quart Jjars, putting small pieces of horseradish in with the cucumbers.
