NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921. MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison’s New Phase of " REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Advice Robert Savarin Gave Mrs. Rundle. Robert Savarin adjusted his eye- glasses and slowly scrutinized the group of canvases Mrs. Rundle had painted. Most of them were pretenticus things, fisme groups wnd single por- traits, all fiamed in a style which I guessed, nay knew, had meant the sacrifice of necessary food and com- forts to the woman who had painted them. But among them were three or four unpretentiously framed small canvases which appealed to my love of color as the big canvases did not. A branch of autumn leaves with the sunlight on them, a corner of a gar- den showing flame-colored pogpies bending to the breeze, another clump of stately foxgloves—I turned, to Mrs. Rundle albeit reluctantly, to express | the admiration for the small canvases which was her due, when I heard her whisper tensely to Lillian: “Those little things there are just potboilers to throw to the people without much money who come here. Lots of 'em like a splash of color, and so often those sell where 'the and good pictures don’t get a Dbi Robert Savarin’s Verdict. She put her hand tq her mouth to still the tremble Whi?‘n had come to her lips as she watcled, Robert Sav- arin studying eath picture closely. conscientiously. I suddenly had the sensation of being in a courtroom, waiting for the life or death verdict . of a jury. The artist finished his task, hay- ing apparently given to the liniest canvas the same consideration he gave to the largér canvases. Then he turned to Mrs. Rundle, and I saw that his grave face was unysually ani- mated. 3 \ “You have three wonderfully good things here, Mrs. Rundle,” he said with the sureness of a man who is master of his craft, an acknowledged authority upon his subject. “But,” with a little comprehending smile, “I am afraid you won’t thank me for telling you what they are.” She could not show her pallor, her make-up was too well put on, but I knew from her eyes that the blood had left her face and was racing to her heart in the suspense that was hers. “What—what—do you mean?” sh asked, although I think she knew a: well as Lillian and I did, what his meaning was. But it is bewildering to change one’s whole life plan in a second. “You have no future in figures— its—anything where you have to. portray the human form,” the “These pictures,” he in- @icafed the ambjtious canvases, “may be sold at a good price some day, but it will be simply because of the rep- utation vou will gain in doing bits these—if you can stifle your am. §ah to be jve a fare gift for color, and In the TOOILL - T0 WORK A Mother Tells How Her Daughter Was Made Well .

But these things are sur- prisingly good, just as those portraits are atrocious. But yowll see that she’ll go on painting portraits till the end of her days.” \ I wondered if he.could possibly be right in his dictum. It did not seem possible that any women would throw away such advice. But in Mrs. Run- dle’s glance, when she came back trom her conference with Miss Cor- win, there was a look. of subborn longing at her big canvases which made me wonder if Robert Savarin had not read her aright.

Already the Herald Ccntest Editor has received one essay in the “Why Girls Leave Home” contest which is being conducted by the management of Fox’s theater which is to present this photoplay shortly. A prize of $10 in gold'is to be given the winner. The contest is open to all, but essays must be limited to about 50 or 100 TANMFORD wlin- words, and must go right to the point in answering the question. The one submitted by Austin R. Densmore con- tains five sentences: ‘Parents are too cruel; the lure of the big city; town scandal ahd shattered romance; fake advertisements of plausible reading desire for romance, adventure and fine clothes; these are the greatest factbrs in making girls leave home, I pelieve.’” ‘|as if it burned her. A PARISIAN SURPRISE GOWN e e wee———————————————eeereseeeeeeeeeeesee BY MARIAN HALE. New York, Oct.. 13—Individuality is assuredly te keynote of this gown, which breathes anew into our mod- ern fashions the spirit of 1830, Not only the shoulder cape but the removable gauntlets of astrakhan recall those old-time cuts of fash- ionable skaters in grandmother's days. Jenny, of course, is respdhnsible for this Mary Walls model, with its love- ly, straight-lined, sray crepe gown girdled in. silver links and the broad band of astrakhan at the bottom of the skirt, Thé slceves are long and the as- trakhan gauntlets cut loose and long so that they meet the full cape. This cape, with its four huge sil- ver filligree buttons, has a choker collars. It is lined with the gray crepe. When the gauntlets and cape 1emoved, a charmingly simple rich costume is revealed. While the surprise of seeing mi- iady take off the accessories bit by bit, adds that ever fascinating Pari- s'an chic. are and p B EARS—SHORT OR LONG. Henrietta Hen's heart ®began to thump. She dropped a bit og cab- bage out of her bill, letting it fall And usually she’ was very careful as to her table- manners. “‘Goodness!” she sald to Jimmy thump. She dropped a_ bit of cab- bage in Farmer Green’s garden. “You frighten me!” \ He had just asked her this strange question: “Did you ever hear it said that eating too much cabbage causes long ears?” And Henrietta Hen didn’t want long ears. She knew they would be sure to swoil her beauty. Jimmy Kabbit had no time to say anything more to Henrietta Hen. Al- though he had not finished his lunch- eon he left the garden suddenly—and in great haste. For old dog Spot be- gan barking just beyond the fence; and Jimmy Rabbit always wanted to get as far from that sound as he could. ‘When Spot scurried. into the cab- o / STAMFORD MEETS EVERY COOKING NEED | | WEBS This is the Stamford range, famous for its ., good things to eat.

I'm in a great hurry, I don’t like to stop.” “This is a very important matter,” said Henrietta Hen. “Do you like cabbage?” she demanded. “Cabbage?” he repeated after her as a puzzled look came over his face. “You needn't act so surprised,” Henrigtta told him coldly. “You didn’t coi..e running into the garden for nothing. And I have reaso: to believe that you intended to eat 'some of Farmer Green's cabbages.” ““What's your reason?” old Spot in- quired.

Still she couldn’t rid herself of her fears. “Perhaps,” said:-Henriet- she said, “if you had # Y _ eaten it your ears would have grown twice as long as they are now.” He shook his head. “I don’t think s0,” he muttered. “There’s only one way to find out,” Henrietta Hen announced. “Eat a lot of cabbage—all you can! And we'll soon see whether yoyr ears are growing longer.” But old dog Spot refused flatly to do anything of the sort. He said that his ears suited him quite well, just as they were. “What!"” cried Henrietta. “Wouldn't you eat cabbage to oblige a lady?” Old Spot said he was sorry; but he had no liking for cabbage. “How can you tell if you've never tasted it?” she asked. . He made no answer to that ques- tion. Instead, he asked her one of his own. “Would you like long ears?” he in- quired. “Certainly not!" she cried. “How can you tell if you've never tried wearing any?” he demanded. “Don’t be stupid!” ,she snapped. “None of my family wears ears that can be seen. What a sight I'd be with long ears! Ears are very ugly things, and I only hope that I haven’t eaten so much cabbage that mine will begin to grow—Do you suppose they'd hang down like yours or stick up like Jimmy Rabbit’s? He didn’t say anything about that.” Old dog Spot. let out a howl. “Jimmy Rabbit!” he growled. “Was he talking with you just before I ar- rived ?” “Yes!" said Henrietta. “It was he that asked me vf I had ever heard that eating osbbage made a person’s ears grow."” " Y might have Known that it was hat young Rabbit who put such a silly notion into your head,” Spot grumbled. “If you hadn’t stopped me I'd have stopped him by this time. But it's too late now.” “You don’t suppose he was joking, do you?” Henrietta - inquired. “‘Of course he was,” sald Spot—and none too pleasantly. ‘““Well,” Henrietta mused, as she pecked at a cabbage-leaf, “I must say that I think the joke’s on yau.” (Copyright 1921 by The Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)
