NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison’s New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Way Mrs. Cosgrove Delighted Madge. Mrs. Cosgrove looked me, be- wilderment in every line of her face, when I asked her for the of her discarded old-fashioned skirts. Then I saw amused compre- hension drawn in her shrewd eyes, knew that sho had a pretty clear inkling of my 1ittle scheme, and knew also that she would make no comment which would betray her knowledge. “Of course you can have any one of them you like,” she said heartily. “put,” with a dubious intonation, “you know they'll wrap around you three times, don't you?” I laughed at her perplexed expres- sion. Mrs. Cosgrove is a xoodish way past the half-century mark, and in Dicky's parlance “carries walght for age.” But she was exaggerating| her own size, as, I have noticed, do all stout women mwho have finally given up vanity on the subject. I wonder sometimes if it is not a kind or armor which they put on, filnging out a jest at their own expense to ward off the only too ready jokes of their families and friends. A “Find.” “You forget the modern waistline,” I said. “Your skirt probably will just fit.” “Yes, no doubt youw'll have to let out the band,” she retorted dryly, and the next moment she had taken down from a spare closet a skirt which I seized eagerly, for it spelled in every line exactly the effect 1 wished. Black, rather full, and bearing in every stitch the mark ot an unskilled country dressmaker I visualized myself in it With a mental chuckle. “This is perfect!” T said enthus- fastically. “May I have this one?” “Of course. And, it doesn’t in the Jeast matter if you tear it or spoil it. I think I shall cut that skirt up for Tug rags There are other better skirts here if you would rather have them. That was the first to my hand.” Ao - “No, indeed.” I clutched the old- fashioned garment tenaciously. “You'd have to get a platoon of state troopers to get this away from me now. But tell me, haven't you a Jjacket somewhere of the same vin- tage as this?” She turned to the closet and took down a coat such as I had not seen for twenty years. I guessed that it was at least that old, and I took it from her hands with lively gratitude, for I saw in it the successful fruition of my mischievous little prank against Dicky. #This ought «to fit you pretty well,” Mrs. Cosgrove said. “I was more your size twenty--years. .ago. Slip it on.” 3 I did so, found that it was, indeed a fair fit, and with a laughing ex- pression of thanks to ‘Mrs. Cosgrove 1 wrapped the clothing in a compact paper-covered bundle, sped back to my bungalow and gained my bed- room without Dicky seeing me. When I had caught my breath and had enjoyed a quiet little anticipatory laugh, T gathered up Junior’s night things and went over to Lillian's bungalow, where he was to sleep for the night, and whare he had gone with Marion directly after sspper. . “Climb On Your Shelf.” Marion greete@ me rapturously from a big old chair, in the depths of which she and Junior shared a large illustrated alphabet book, one which my son’s adoring grandmother had given him, and which he prized highly. . “Oh, Auntie Madge!” she ecried. “Junior can say almost all of his al- phabet. Tell mother, Junior. Get down now and stand up.” My small lad slipped from his seat put his hands behind him, and straightened himself to his full baby height. “A, B, T, D, E, F, D, he intoned proudly, when Marion interrupted anxiously: “He can’'t say C and G,” she plained apologetically, so he calls them ‘T" and ‘D’. But he knows them. Go on, Junior.” Junior went on, finished the phabet in triumph, and then, as hypnotized by his own achievement began at “A” and he weént throuzh the whole thing again, this time at a gallop. As he finished the “Z”. Marion, with- an anxious X school ma'am air which convulsed her _mother and me, said authoritatively: “That will de, Junior.” But Junior had tasted applause. and would not be-squelched. A third time he began his rattling list and was highly indignant when I swept “him up from the floor and stopped th erecital with a hug and numerous isses. “Dooner doin’ read bid book,” announced proudly, and loked up an answering pride winsome face. “He's so smart, Apntie Madge,” she said, “that I think it's a shame not to improve the time with -him You don't mind if I teach him, do at loan long he Marjon in her ——————— | - SUNDAY EVENING Big Augmented Orchestra and HARRY CAREY “THE FOX” Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 5—BIG ACTS—5 It’s Going To Be the Best Show In Town ! murmured you?

Better get ready to climb on your shelf. lady nfig_m TALéé| THE TALE OF M e | Somehow old dog Spot and Kitty Cat never became good fgends. By the time Miss Kitty Cat rived on the farm in Pleasant Valley, Spot had lived there several years. From the first day he met Kitty in the kitchen Spot hadn't liked her. Yet he claimed at the time that he was glad to see het. He said that he could tell at once that he was going to hawe great sport with her. He knew ll would be fun to chase her! Inside the farmhouse old Spot was careful how he behaved. The moment Miss Kitty first set eyes on him, she scurried under the table, where she crouched and glared at him. That was scarcely what you might call a friendly greeting. And Spot would have barked at her had he dared. Since he didn’t, he only whined a bit through his nose. You couldn’t have told what he meant by the sound. Miss Kitty Cat didn’'t like his whining. She even opened her mouth wide and said as much. She madé an Miss Miss an o0dd hissing noise, which amused old Spot greatly. odd hissing noise, which amused old Spot greatly. .And he told Miss Kitty, in what was almost a growl (except that it wasn't loud enough for one), ““Wait till I catch you out of doors, my lady! I'll have some fun with you.” Then Farmer Green’'s wife opened the door and told Spot to be gone. “You ought to be ashamea of your- selh—"" she scolded—'‘teasing a poor little cat!™ Old Dog Spot tucked his tail be- tween his legs and crept through the doorway, keeping one eye on the broom that Mrs. Green held in her hand. And as soon as he was safe- ly outside he gave two or three sharp velps, telling Miss Kitty Cat that he would watch for her the very first time she set foot in the yard. Bomehow Miss Kitty Cat wasn’t specially worried. She knew a thing or two about dogs; and she didn’t in- tend to let old Spot bully her. It took her a few minutes to get over her anger. And then she came out from beneath the table and lapped up the milk that Mrs. Green had set temptingly on the floor, in a saucer. ‘Wher: Miss Kitty had finished her meal she washed her face—a duty that she performed with great care, for she prided herself on always looking neat. Watching her, no one would ever have guessed what was in her mind. “I'd like to wash that dog’s face for i Miss Kitty was saying to her- HAKY E-UKD s - RUPERT HUGHES “The Old Nest Complete Change in Vaudeville.

Nill- son, famous screen beauty. One of the | teature scenes in this picture is an elaborate fashion review and some unusual scenes of a cabaret frequented hy the elite. The story itself deals with two girls who typify the average American daughter grown to young womanhood. The narrow mindedness of the one's parents drives her out into the world, while it is the over- indulgence and neglect of the other’s parents that causes her to leave. The paths of these two girls cross and it is a junction that develops such a se- quence of scenes that interest does | not lag for a moment. The “Singing River” picture is typically a Russell production savoring of the great west.
