MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adels fiarrison's New FPhase of REVELATION S OF A WIFE | | | | l | | The Confession Katie Made Before Them All At Katie's asseverations that she would tell the truth, T saw a cynical little smile quirk the corners of Allen Drake's mouth, and 1 felt a sudden primitive impulse to change that ex- pression with a well-directed slap But my father was speaking again and I turned to listen, forgetting everything else in my pride of him and the revelation he had just made “That is what we want, Katie,” my father said kindly, yet there was more than a hint of iron beneath the goftness of his manner. “You say you didn't wish to listen but to be sure that we were not our rooms. Why did you wish to be sure of that? Did yon wish to find out if there was an- other book like this somewhere?'" Katie is Defiant. With a quick movement he teok from the table the book he had shown us from which the memorandum had been taken, opened it, and spread it before Katie's astonished eyes. She gazed at it blankly for an instant, then she looked at my father with an odd, tense gaze, which held in it a touch of something inscrutable, some- thing which I decided with a sudden quickening of my pulses wag not guilt “Den—you—know," she said slowly “Yes, we know that you took a paper from this book,” my father re- turned as measuredly. “But we do not know why you did it, or what you have done with the paper.” With a dramatic movement Katie swept the circle of faces in front of her with searching eyes. Then she crept closer to my side and covered my hand timidly with her own “Only vun who believe poor Katie," she said sorrowfully, and again 1 saw the amused little quirk of Allen Drake’s lips. Katie saw temper flared “You, Meester Drake.” she supt- tered, “you tink yourself all de stew, but you noting but de soup greens I'll bet you nefer can find dot paper eef I no tell you." Though I secretly enjoyed Katie's outburst. I conscientiously tried to stop it. But she finished her defiance triumphantly, then at sight of my father’s stern face she wiled miser- ab’ “Oh! Oh! I forget! I so ashamed!!” she wailed contritely. “Go On, Katie."” “Don't distress yourself on my aec- it, too, and her fuick count, Katie” Allen Drake drawled ind T saw that he really had enjoyed the girl's attack and respected her for it [t's refreshing to hear the truth occasionally. And T grant your as- sertion. 1 have no idea where your simian mind has concealed the poipers.’ But that the climax of the third act {8 imminent, T can see with- out the aid of spectacles. So I await vour disclosure with intense interest,' That Katie did not understand his words, I, of course, knew, and was in- censed at Allen Drake for the sly fun he was poking at the girl. But¢his tone evidently pointed his meaning to her quick perceptions, for she turned away from him with a gesture really superb in its disdainful defiance, and addressed herself to Lillian “Meesis Underwood, you remembar vot I tell you dot man say, all dot stuff T tell you not to tell?" “Yes, Katie." “I tell you all but vun ting. He tell me dot I must get paper for heem, say eet leetle paper mit all Kinds funny marks. He tell me dot I must look in efery book, efery ting in room. T have awful times getting chance to 160k, for dot old vomans, and Meesis Harrison dey alvays snoop- ing around after me, and ven I get eet, T shoost sit me down und howl, for I no vant to geev eet to dot man, und I not know how to keep eet away from heem. Eef I couldn't find eet, he coom and hunt heemself, und he keel me He know eferyting you tink, dot man !" She paused as if in reflection at the diabolical powers of the man Anton and I wished whimsically that my mother-in-law could have heard th: girl's reference to Therself and her daughter, Elizabeth. I remembered most distinctly the letter Mothor Gra- ham had written to me, saying that Katie was ‘snooping™ all over the house, reciting the girl's activities in cleaning my father's room, and say- ing that when Katie had finished, she had sat down and “howled.” Mother Graham had attributed the giri's emo tion to her failure to find something she wished to appropriate to her owr use, but my partisanship and my com- mon sense as well preferred Katie story to my mother-in-law’'s theory. “Go on, Katie,” Lillian said encour- agingly. “Did you give the paper to |the man?" Katie swept us with a triumphant glance, “I give she said. paper, but not dot one,” SLEEPYEA " U % ME TALES (riamens Wit Y WOODPECKE 8 BVARTHIR SIOTT BAILEY REECHNTUTS. “I'm eoing to stay right here on this farm,” Reddy Woodpecker de- clared. ‘I like this place.” “Perhaps you expect to leave for the South before the beechnuts are ripe," Frisky Squirrel suggested hope- fully. ot I!"” replied Reddy Woodpeck- “If I leave, I shall wait until the last bsechnut {s eaten. And no doubt 1 shall not leave at all. This looks to me ‘like a good place to spend the winter.” Now that Frisky Squirrel knew that Reddy Woodpecker ate beechnuts, he was more determined than ever to catch him. He had hunted Reddy be- fore: Now he haunted him. He dogged Reddy Woodpecker's foot- steps. He crept up behind him and jumped at him a dozen times a day. Though Frisky didn't know it, he couldn't have caught Reddy Wood- pecker in a thousand vears. Reddy w3s 100 wary 10 be caught. He al- ways chuckled after 4odging. And he always called mockingly, “Not this time, ynung fellow!"” All summer long the chase went on. Irisky Squirrel seemed to think that if cnly he hunted Reddy lonz enough there wonld come a time when when he would catch him napping Now, rvery years as fall drew near, it was Frisky's custom to go each day to the woods, to inspect the beech- nuts. He went very clyly. It was a business of ereat importance Of course he didn't care té have every- tody know what he was doing. Imagine his anncyance, then, on hi: first trip to the beach grove to hea Reddy Woodpecker call out to him “What do you think of 'em? will they be ready to eat soon?” Reddy was high vp in a beech tree And Frisky Squirrel was so angry that he could only look up at him and chatter. “You haven't answered by ques- tion,” Reddy observed presently. “Per- haps ycu aren’t a good judge of beech nuts. Perhaps I'd better ask Jasper Jay."” That threat made Frisky Squirrel angrier than ever. He darted up the tree as fast as he could scramble.

Then Frisky sat up on a limb and glared at him “Don’t mention these nuts to Jas lror Jay!" he cried. ‘I've been hoping he'd forzet about them Eat what you want—if vou must. But for good- riess’ sake don't go and tell the whole neighborhood about them, Just he- tween you and me, these nuts will he ready to eat as soon as there's a frost to sweeten them.” “You're very kind,” Reddy Wood- Frisky Squirrel leaped into the top of it.

His car was struck, breaking a fender and the glass of the windshield, but the driver did net stop.

What To Wear At The Beach This ' Summer—Marian Hale Tells By Marian Hale Mack Sennett and Annette Keller- man are the two great influences that have made the bathing suit what it is today. Sennett found it ugly, undeveloped and unimaginative. By cross-breed- tng it with the costume of chorus girls and debutantes, he achieved lux- ury and picturesqueness, And this season's suits of silks, satins, velvet, batik and lace, with corsages, jewels, feathers and fur, are all the direct descendants of his line of propagation. Annette, on the other hand, made elimination her motto. She pared down the bathing suit, reduced it to its simplest terms. And her contribution is the sensi- ble wool jersey suit, built on the pre- | mise that a woman occasionally likes to get into the water as well as loll on the beach. The model she originated this sea- son has been developed in the most gorgeous colors and frequently s adorned with wool embroidery, ap- plique or cross-stitch. It has hecome a three-piece costume with a long wool cape. -0- One of the innovations of this sea- son is the suit with the high collar. It buttons snugly about the throat, Jjust as grandmother’s basque did, and NEW TRAFFIC CLUB ON FREIGHT RATES Shippers and Carriers Will Voice Opimion in Organization Chicago, June 12.—Freight rates and railroad wages will be dealt with from the point of view of” shippers and carriers by the newly organized Associated Traffic elub of America, in an effort to influence public opin- jon and policies, according to an out- line of its objects made by the offi- cers here today. Those who have promoted the organization say that its work will be much the same as that contemplated in recent proposals of a national transportation institute, supported by both shippers and car- riers, “for the education of the pub- lie and the support of wise transpor- tation policies.”” They announce that the organization hopes to impress upon the president and congress “the kind of men that should be appoint- ed to the interstate commerce com- mission,” though it will refrain from recommending individuals. Some Questions. Some of the questions to be con- sidered will probably relate to the value of the United States railroad labor board: proposals to amend the rate-making section of the transpor- tation act so that “there shall not be a mandate to the interstate commerce commission to make the level of rates such that the carriers will earn an adequate revenue; restoration of pow- er of the state policy in respect to a merchant marine; the proposed St Lawrence canal. It is estimated that there are twen- ty-five or more ‘“industrial” traffic elubs in which shippers but not car- riers are represented.

It also has a way of conceal- ing shoulder blades that jut far out and spoil the outline. The gingham bathing suit, too, is a novelty, and comes beruffled and be- frilled much like the silk one. Every beach siren has a long cape, which she uses advantageously. These are cut much on the line of the popu!f: street cape of the moment. They are of satin, rubber lined, or eponge or terry cloth. Very smart ones of a fine grade of rubber are on the general plan of the Spanish scarf, with long, deep cut fringe. -0- One of the real novelties of the sea- son in the way of accessories is the beach umbrella with a cigaret case in the handle. Another novelty is the beach pillow, which looks like a regular pillow and is comfortable to lie on, but which contains a complete make-up outfit and some hand towels, grateful to the fair bather after an excursion in the waves. There is some new waterproof rouge which enables you to keep up ‘| the illusion of vivid color, even while swimming; also powder that sticks in spite of the waves.

Lo} ALCOHOL SMUGGLING HEAVY IN NORWAY Well Organized Trade Grests Bugers in That Land Stockholm, June 12.—The smug- gling of alcohol into Norway has be- come well . organized -and growing trade, and this in spite of the exten- sion of Norway's " territorial waters for a distance seawards of ten miles. Over 100 vessels were waiting recent- ly outside the Norwegian fjords for customers to take liquor already pur- chased, Light wines and beer only are legal in Norway, drinks contain. ing more than 15 percent of alcohol being barred. How Trade Is Dons Stroemsta, a small place in Sweden near the Norwegian border is an im- portant center for the smuggling flotillas which are composed mostly of German and Danish vessels. These boats enter port and have their car- goes sealed by the Swedish customs people. The skippers' meet their Norwegian customers in the town and arrange for the sale of the liquor after which they put to sea outside the nationality limit and break the seals. The Norwegian , buyers meet at a rendezvous and the tranactions are completed. In this way enormous quanities of liquor are brought into Norway and prices are steadily declining. Also there has been an increase in the number of cases of drunkenness, which in Christiania is reported to be twice as large as in Stockholm. The Norwegian government de- rived an annual révenue of about 46, 000,000 krone from liquor before the establishment of prohibition, but te- day this has been reduced to virtually nothing. ] Tonight, Tues.,, Wed.
