MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele fiarrison's New REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Way Madge “Overplayed” With Mother Graham Not even Ldllian's “alibl" served me with Mother CGraham when that august lady learned within an hour of dinner-time that Allen Drake and my “father would be with us for the meal, and that the brilllant agent of the secret diplomatic service wonld ¢ our guest for an indefinite period, “You needn't try to tell me, garet, that you didn’t know until now that they were coming,” she said, her face reddening with resentment “J suppose you think it was n smurt trick to play me to keep me in ignor- ance that your father is coming honie and is bringing Mr. Drake Thonzh the land knows I don't like him much, Allen Drake has been in cvery cepital in Burope and this continent too, and has seen everything a.d everybody, and (s as fastidious as a cat—T'll wager Katie has cotton sheets on that guest room bed !" “No, she hasn't, for the hed isn't made, It simply has a cover spread over the mattress,” 1 said. "I told her yesterday when she cleaned, not to keep that hed made up." “It's a wonder you had that much sense,'” she retorted grudgingly. “Now you get out those linen sheets and pil- low-slips and the best pair of blankets and that silk coverlet, and send Mar- ion to me. She's splendid help mak- ing a bed, that little thing, and then do you get some flowers picked and up there, and a pitcher of fresh water and a glass, and a book and some magazines, and matches, and—all the rest,” she finished vaguely. “I'll attend to everything,” 1 said meekly, glad to get off so cheaply, and making for the staircase on my way to the linen closet the way, what do you think I'd better wear for dinner?"” Mar 1St “Of All Things !" She snorted violently, and I knew that I had overdone the patient Gris- elda post. With a vivid memory of the time she had accused me of dressing for Tom Chester's approval, I had thought to disarm her by my request, but instead 1 found that I only had provided her with a whip for my flagellation. “Of all things !" she began. “‘Well, I'm going to sit right down now and v for the world to come toanend asking ME what you'll wear for dinner when there's a good-Jooking man as a guest. It would be a pile of use my telling you, wouldn't it? Judg- ing by that performance the night that young whipper-snapper of a Tom Chester was here, you'll dress up in your best bib and tucker. Don't ask me, for I haven't any advice to give you. If you don’t know what's proper and fitting, at your age, nothing 1 could say would teach you anything." With an effort that brought every nerve into play, 1 grimly put down the impulse to answer her outrageous tirade. Instead, I walked calmly to the linen closet, took out the articles for which she had asked, carried them into the guest room and laid them upon the bed. Then still silent, 1 left the room, and sought the flower! garden, where I gathered a big clus- ter of scarlet and orange nasturtiums, relieved their vivid color with a few blossc 16 of white cosmos, and a spray or two of feathery vine and arranged them in a bowl of brown pottery. Then I stepped back and admired my own handiwork with the lessening of tense nerves which flowers and their arrangement always bring to me. Dr. Pettit's Report. “That's perfectly breath-taking Madge ! Lillian's admiring voice sounded behind me. ‘““Where are you going to put it?" “In Dad’'s room,” T returned, won- dering a second later why T had an- swered as I had. T certainly had in- tended the flowers for the guest room assigned to Allen Drake, but at Lil- lian's question there had suddenly flashed over me an inexplicable re- vulsion against my putting them there “Fave you time to do something for me 1 asked. “Loads,’” she answered promptly. “Then I wish you'd fix something in the flower line for the room of His Lordship, Mr. Drake,” T said. “Mother Graham’s on the war path up there putting the best linen and everything else on display, and she's depending on me to do the fancy things. But if 1 look up the other articles she wants, I shan't have time for the flowers, or to dress.” “Of course, I'll do anything you like," she said, “but I'm no such dad- ster at flowers as you are, my dear However, I imagine he'll not linger long over posies when he knows what's up. T didn't tell you about Herbie's report.” “No', I returned, laconically. In truth, 1 had been slightly piqued that after Dr. Pettit's return from attend- ing the man Smith at the Briges home, she had said no word to me of the result of the physician's call. “It wi 't much,” she sajd, ‘‘ex- cept that the gifted Mr. Smith will have to spend nearly a week with his foot upon a chair, which just suits my pl perfectly.

Bul- fadty l' the ' Phase of | The Reason Madge Donned Her | Best For Allen Drake, My heart echoed Lilllan's words with a little thrill of dismay, although I was careful to utter no word aloud and to keep from my face all evidence of my emotion. But when she had gone to the garfien to pick the flow- ers for the guest room, and 1 had filled all the commissions of my ex- weting mother-in-law d had escaped o my own-room to dress, T faced the prospect her words had opened, not only with dismay but with a excitement whose pause 1 did not wish to ask, even of myself I stood motionless in the center my room thinking the thing over the man, Smith, could not take his sprained foot from a chair for near- Iy A week, then it was a foregone con- lusion that Allen Drake. would be our house guest for even a longer per- iod, 1 knew that Lillian's scheme for “reckoning up" Smith included a trap for hifh in which he should be so terrorized that he would give our sec- tion of the country wide berth That she depended upon Allen Drake for this terrorizing, 1 also knew and that meant his stay at our home until the task was completed. I tried to analyze my own unusual reaction to the prospect and tried, for 1 moment to make myself believe that fear of Dicky's displeasure was at the root of the dread I had of the coming of this guest, whom most hostesses would have counted it a dis- tinet delight to entertain. But hon- esty forbade this interpretation. Madge 1s Perplexed. Lillian had promised to explain everything to Dicky, and that was equivalent to assurance that Dicky would loek at the thing reasonably. Besides, in view of Dicky's laughing reference to Edith Fairfax when he gone to the city upon this last 1, womanlike, was not worrying about his attitude toward any friend or acquaintance of mine. No, it was entirely within myself, I decided, this dread of Allen Drake's arrival, of had trip, much all fear~this emotion of mine? Was there no furtive— A glance at my wrist watch sent all introspection scurrying to cover, as ] realized that it lacked but a few min- utes to Allen Drake's arrival, and that I had yet to dress for dinner. What should I wear? T told my- self indignantly that I would have slipped en the first dress available if it had not been for my mother-in- law's caustic tirade which had made me intensely self-conscious. She had said that I would put on ‘“my best bib and tucker” for Allen Drake. Grimly 1 resolved to get out my old- , least becoming gown and had al- ready lifted it on its hanger from my closet, and carried it to my dressing- table, when I caught sight of Dicky's telegram which I had iaid there, after Lillian and I had finished packing the trunk for which he had asked. The Deciding Factor. socks, evening shoes, golf my eyes mechanically scanned the different items, then with a quick, entirely feminine revulsion, I hurried back to the closet, hung up the old gown and took down, not my ‘“best bib and tucker,” but one of my pret- tiest gowns, a filmy, sand-colored crepe with curious Oriental figurings of bronze gold. A twist of bronze velvet at the top of the bodice and apologies for sleeves completed the costume, which Dicky had de- signed as he did most of my gowns, but which his mother had charac- terized as utterly shameless because of its lack of sleeves and its short- ness of skirt. But I knew that, compared to most of the modish costumes of the day, it was a most modest affair, and my con- science gave me no twinge as I laid it on the bed, hastily put on the bronze evening slippers and silken hose which accompanied it, and donned the gown over its gold-colored silk slip. U nodded approvingly to the reflection I saw in the mirror, murmuring a resentful word to my 1ibsent husband: “You're ing without me; why and weep?" Another critical me that I needed the touch which only flowers give, and going to the door 1 gave a soft little call for Mar- 1on. Almost immediately she came dancing toward me with a little blue velvet embroidered with oddly- shaped French blue buttons. It was the pride of her heart, and I knew that she was immensely elated by being allowed to wear it. “Marion, will you ask Katie to get me two dozen nasturtiums of the same colors are in my father's room? You may take out two to show her, and then bring all the flowers to me here. Bring some green leaves also and hurry, sweetheart."” “'Silk wonderful time I sit in the a should shes little glance told trock aa TlME TALES e H;RTALE OF EDDY ¢, MOODPECKER BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY THE CARPENTER. day Reddy Woodpecker was tap, tapping on a tall poplar tre grew beside the brook.

But before he could examine him very closely the carpenter van- ished. “I must have another look at that queer person,” Reddy thought. So he began to rap oncde more. Again the carpenter peeped forth. “If you're out of wérk,” he said, “I'll tell you plainly that you can't find it here. 1 never employ ttrang- ers to work for me, for I'm very par- ticular.” Then he was gone.

It wasn’t brittle enough to suit him. So he knocked again. When the carpenter came rushing back to his doorway, his pale face wore an anxious look. “Oh!” he said. “I thought it was a fire. T thought somebody wanted to tell me my house was on fire. But it's only you. What do you want now?"” “I know you'd like to learn my name,” Reddy Woodpecker began. “Just leave your card!” the carpen- ter told him. “I'li look at it later when I have more time.” “When will that -he?"” manded “I don't know,"” the odd person con- fessed.
