IEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison’s New Phase of 'REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Suggestion Bess Dean' Made For a Fighing Trip. ‘With warnings from both Dicky and Lillian filled away in my mental reference library, I could not help watching Bess Dean furtively when two days after her unfortunate trip, down Rip Van,winkle’s mountain, she was in evidence again in our moun- tain family cifele. As we might have guessed from her Kknowledge of her vanity, she did not join us until she was able to walk without a limp, and there had disappeared all trace of the unfortunate con- sequences of her insisting upon wear- ing my sneakers, two sizes too small for her. But it she cherished any resent- ment against me, as Dicky and Lil- lian bad predicted, and was planning any Vcomeback” for the humilia- tion I unwittingly had bee the mecans of giving her, she showed no sign of it when .she joined us at breakfast after her two days’ absence. She was as gay, as charmingly insouciant as ever, and when we all had dutifully inquired after the wrenched back we all knew was camouflage for her swollen feet, and had been answered with the assurance that all discom- fort had disappeared, we joined her in ‘the tacit relegation of the unfor- tunate trip to the tomb of forgotten things. 3 “That Settles It !” “The bullheads are biting, Pa.’ Fred put his head in at the dining room doorr He had breakfasted be- fore the rest of us and gone up the road. Next to his father, Fred is the most ardent devotee of - old Izaak Walton I ever have seen, and his face mirrored his enthusiasm. “Who says so?’ Pa Cosgrove turned in his chair at the head of the table, his deep set eyes sparkling at the lure, “Sam Patch. He caught ninety last night just as fast as he could pull ’em out of the dater.” Where?" “Lower dam.” “That settles it—I'm going tonight! How about it, Mother?” He looked over at his wife with half - ludicrous, half - shamefaced pleading. I long ago had observed that bustling, thrifty Mrs. Cosgrove kept rather a tight rein upon her easy-going, good-natured, but some- what indolent spouse, and did not look with any too great favor upon his frequent fishing and hunting ‘ex- cursions.

I suppose.you'll stay all night.” The big man flushed a trifle under his tan. Madge Agrees. “Now, Mother,” he sald, “be good. I haven't been fishing in a coon’s age. And T'll see to everything before I go, and bring you back a fine mess of bullheads for tomorrow morning’s breakfast. Did you ever eat bull- heads, folks?” He turned to the rest of .us, patently trying to escape from conjugal criticism. “If I have I've forgotten it,” Dicky said. “But I'll try anything once.” ! “If you had, you'd never have for- gotten it Mr. Cosgrove dwclared didactically. “They're the sweatest eating of any pan-fish in the world. Of course your real fancy anglers look down on fishing for 'em—they want the trout er cven' the pickerel. But it's past the season for trout, and the pickerel don’t bite at night, the time I like to go fishing. And there hasn't Leen a pickerel canght this year anyway. But your trout sharks don't know the fus there is in sitting on a great rock down there by the big dam, with your pipe mak- ing the only lisht you have besides the lantern you shut off most of the time, and hauling in those bullheads one after the other. The big ones give you quite a little fight, too.” Why, Pa Co ive!” Bess Dean put in gaily. “You're positively poetical ! I say, folks, what's the matter with all of us going fishing for bullheads tomfight?"” “You'll have to stay all night,” Pa Cobgrove warned. “That is, of course, unless somebody came down in a car afteryyou. Tl tell you,” warming to his subject. “If some- body’ll take me down in the car, I can go to the lower dam, about nine miles down. If I have to walk, I only can get to the upper dam.” Bess Dean clasped her hands to- gqthier theatrically and flashed an imploring glance at Dicky. “Can you resist such a chance to be a wholesale benefactor, Kind Gentleman?” she pleaded. “Oh, do say you'll take us down to the lower dam tonight!” “That's as the boss decides,” Dicky waved a careless hand in my direc- tion. “I'm only the man-of-all-work. Whatever she says goes.” “Oh, I'd love to go !" I said quick- ly, and know by the glint in Bess Dean’s eyes that Dicky's speech was another point in her score against me.

Already a num- ber of #ood answers have been pub- ished. Tdken from among the score ceived today Is this one, sent {#§ by “Margaret H." “To answer the question ‘Why girls leave home’ is rather a hard propo- sition as there are many causes. - All Fox's, girls don’t leave for the same cause. But the greatesy cause today is am- bition to become a movie star.” From the wilds of Newington Cen- ter, Miss Candace Pittsinger pauses to send in this one, setting the age of 15 2nd 16 as the critical years of a girl's life: , “Girls need opportunities, but the right kind of opportunity. If a girl's parents show their love for them and take some interest in them, no girl will think of leaving home. If a girl has the wrong ideas when she is 15 or 16 there is absolutely no chance of replacing her thoughts.” BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY S ) %4«51’ v !"‘"4;\\1}@ A GREAT FLURRY. There was a ‘great flurry among Farmer Green's hens. They all in- sisted on talking at the same time, because they had heard an aston- ishing bit of news. It was about Henrietta, Hen. Wherever she went her neighbors craned their necks at her, just as if they hadn’t seen her every day for as long as they could remember! Henrietta Hen enjoyed the notice that everybody took of her. She went to some trouble to move about a good deal, so that all might have a chance to stare at her. For if there was ope thing she liked, it was attention. There was a reason why Henrietta had suddenly become the most talked of member of the flock. She was going to the county fair! Further- more, she expected to take all her 20 Polly Plymouth Rock cackled with amusement. & children with her. There wasn't the least doubt that it was all true. The whole flock had heard Johnnie Green and his father talking about it. Of cours: everybody asked Henriet- ta Hen a great number of questions. When was she going to leave? How long did she expect to stay at the fair? What did she intend to do there? Would she wear her best clothes if it rained? There was no end to such inquiries. Unfortunately, Henrietta Hen could answer very few of them. Never having visited a fair, she had no idea what a, fair was like. She only guessed that when the time came, she and her family would be put into a pen, loaded upon a wagon, and jolt- ed over the road that led to the fair, wherever it might be. But Henrietta didn’t intend to let her neighbors find out how little she knew about fairs. She said that be- fore starting she expected to wait for the wagon, that she hoped to stay at the fair as dong as it lasted (be- cause she didn’'t want to miss any- thing) and that she intended to come home when the wagon brought her. Furthermore, she planned to wear her best apron, anyhow, because there was sure to be fair weather at a fair! How cowld it be otherwise? Old Ebenezer, the horse, to be sure to see the races. “They're the best part of a fair,” he said. “In my younger days, I used to take part in them.” And then he added, “There’s nothing else at a fair that's worth looking at.” “What about the poultry show?” Henrietta Hen asked him. She didn’t know what poultry shows were; but she heard Farmer Green mention them. “I never paid any attention to the poultry exhibit,” the horse Ebenezer replied. “I never took part in that. I suppose it might interest you, how- ever.” Henrietta Hen smiled a knowing sort of sm‘le. And she didn’t believe the old horse knew s race from a poultry show. “If he ever went to a fair, I dare say he was hitched out- side the fence,” she sniffed. Polly Plymouth Rock cackled with amusement. And she said something that displeased Henrletta Hen ex- ceedingly. “Are you going to take that duck- ling that you hatched out?” she asked. ‘Certainly not!” Henrietta snapped. “Please—Miss Plymouth Rock—never mention him again! I'm going to the fair, among strangers, and I shouldn’t care to have them know about that accident that happened to me —not for anything!” (Copyright 1921 by The Metropolitan Hewspaper Service).
