Adele Garrison's Now Phaso of « REVELATIONS OF A WIFE L e b Why Allen Drake Changed One of Lillian’s Plans Allen Draké crossed the room to me as soon as Lilllan had closed the door, shutting herself and Katle out- side, "Which are the lights to be kept burning all night?” he asked. “I'll see to them now, if you don't mind, and put out all the others.” “One in the bathroom, one in the upper hall just outside Mother Gra- ham's room and the third in the low- er front hall.” 4 “You evidently believe in the ad- vice the reformed hold-up men are handing out concerning the safety in lighted houses,” he commented with a smile which my imagination dubbed a supercilious one. “I kept my house lighted long be- fore 1 ever read ahy advice upon the subject,” I retorted a bit stiffly. “Showing that you are an unusual- ly sensible lady, as I've always con- tended,” he rejolned, and I was sur- prised to hear sincerity in his tones. ““There is no other insurance so sure. Tonight it will work in another di- rection. A man like Smith does not fall in the category of ordinary house- breakers. He- will want to be as- sured that everything in the house is following its usual routine. Any de- viation from it would arouse his sus- picions. So I'll get those light straight- ened out at once. In the mean- time—" He broke off abruptly, went to each window of the room and inspected the tightly-drawn curtains, including the bizarre but artistic heavy draperies which Lillian had designed for the trying space between the library and its alcove. Allen Drake's Suggestion “Come here, please,” he sald sud- denly, and I crossed the room to the alcove, secretly resenting the peremp- toriness of his tone. “Stand just the way Mrs. Under- wood has planned,” he said, “with your hand upon this door.” 1 took the position Lilllan had shown me, and for a second or two he studied my attitude, then spoke to my father, who, with his hands- be- hind him, was watching us from in|into frocks with very wide flowingj front of the fireplace, in which, how- ever, there was no fire, as Lillian had wished no light in the room which we hoped was to prove a trap for the man Smith, I wish you'd look this over, Chief,” he said, all the deference he has for my father sounding in his voice. ‘When my father had crossed to us Mr. Drake party the heavy draperies and walked to the desk where Lillian had hidden the eyeglass case which Smith had left behind him. “I'd like to make this stunt fool- proof if I can,” he:continued. “It's always well, I think, to expect the unexpected. Now, Mrs. Graham, please imagine that I am Smith. I am opening this desk drawer under Katie's direction, when suddenly something—no matter what—alarms me, and I—" “We Cannot Risk It” Never have I seen 80 quick a move- ment as that which Allen Drake made as he stopped speaking. He covered almost the distance to the al- cove with a single bound, and a sec- ond rush would have carried him to my side had 1 not anticipated his ac- tion. I had watched him narrowly, however, and as he leaped I turned the knob of the door beside me, slipped through the crack jin the door which 1 held ajar. “You see?’ he demanded of my| father, “Mrs. Gr#ham did that splend- | idly, yet there wasn't a second to; spare. It's too narrow a margin.” My father’s face was grave. “You are right, Allen,” he an- ewered, ‘“and we cannot risk it."” “Think what Lillian is risking!” I flamed. “I can do it easily, and I will"” ‘Ot course you shall” Allen Drake’s voice was indulgent, as if he were speaking to a spoiled child, ‘‘but with modifications. Pardon me. He passed me in the doorwdy, and took a quick survey of the small side hall. “Instead of standing on the library side of this door, take your station this side with the door ajar,” he di- rected. ‘‘You'll be able to keep track of Katle just as well, and it will be less dangerous. Don’t you think so, Chief?” He evidently had no . intention of asking my opinion, and I was hotly resentful not only on my account, but because he was changing a plan Lillian had made. Yet I could not help an inconsistent little feeling of relief that I was to have the door be- tween them and Smith. I had been able to keep cool and meet Allen Drake's spectacular leap with the ac- tion Lilllan had planned, but the ex- perience had shaken me perceptibly. Gossip’s Corner Monograms Monograms are seen everywhere, not only on blouses and lingerie, but on ties, scarfs and even coat linings. The use of large, unnatural look- ing flowers, of velvet or silk, is fre- quently noticed on the new frocks. They are frequently made into large corsage hohquets. One-Toned Frocks Smart frocks are being made of brilllantly colored silks, all in one tone, say flame, American Beauty, vivid green or yellow. They are cut very conservatively with the popular side drapery, and no sleeves to speak of. g Bandeaux For evening wear are fantastic hair bandeaux, some of the most original of which are built high, in the Rugsian style, and have lace veils which half cover the face. Silver One sees silver embroldery every- where on the new winter suits and gowns. of the smartest hats. Bracelets Bracelets worn above are frequently seen. Those or amber or white {ivory are effec- tive worn this way. Japanese Figured silks with a strong Jap- anese influence in the figures are made sleeves and practically no broken lines. The low waistline is secured by a loose girdle of the material. If You Are Well Bred You remember that the place of a man, when walking with two women, is on the outside, not sandwiched be- tween the women. It is never considered correct for a man to take a woman's arm unless she is feeble and needs assistance. For a man to grasp her firmly by the elbow when crossing the street is lalso a soclal error. Marriage a La Mode Among the northern races,’ partic- ularly among the Finns, long, luxur- icus hair is regarded as a woman's greatest beauty. If she cuts her hair a girl signifies that she has no interest in receiving attentions from men and that she will listen to no proposals of mar- riage. A frequent cause of separation or divorce is the husband’'s disillusion- ment when he finds his wife's hair is not all her own. Slain Leader’s Betrothed Thousands mouruners paid trib- ute to the memory of Michael Collins, Irish Free State leader shot down by ambushed insurgents, when his body was brought to Dublin. But none so pitiful as Kitty Kiernan, shown abeve who was soon to have married Col- lins. - OPENS LABORDAY!| — THE BIG — CONNECTICUT FAIR GRAND CIRCUIT RACES!

All the neighbors that lived in the flelds and near the edge of the woods had gathered on a sloping bank 1n the pasture. At the foot of the bank stéod Jimmy Rabbit. And near him stood Bjlly Woodchuck; for every- bedy that gives a sleight-of-hand show has to have a helpe: “Ladies and gentlemen! my Rabbit with a low bow. And everybody knew at once that the show had begun. “I am going to perform a magic trick for you. Here are two hats. I will take one and my helper will take the other. Here 18 a handkerchief. I will place the handkerchief beneath my hat, upon the ground. My helper will place his hat on the ground, too. Then, with a few maglic motions and words, T will make the handkerchief pass from my saild Jim- hat to Billy Woodchuck’'s—but you won't be able to see it go."” “It can’t be done!" bawled Uncle Jerry Chuck, who always’ tried to spoil everything. “Walt a moment and you'll sce,” | said Jimmy Rabbit with a smile. And i sure enough! He dropped the hand- kerchief on the ground, set his hat over it, waved his paws about in the air, and mumbled something that no- body cou'd hear. “I object!” cried Unele Jerry Chuck. *“You must speak up, so we can hear what you're saying.” But all the rest of the audience told Uncle Jerry to hush and not to interrupt again. Uncle Jerry grumbled to himself. He trisd to shout, “Freudl” again. with his But he let Jimmy go on magic trick. “There!” Jimmy exclaimed. “The handkerchief has now passed through the air and 1{s now beneath Billy Woodchuck’s hat — Billy, show the audience the—No! Wait a moment!" Jimmy cried quickly. ‘‘Stop, Billy! I'll do a much harder trick. ru make the handkerchief pass back again to my hat.” Again he made his magic motions, mumbled his magic words. Then with a grand flourish Jimmy Rabbit ilifted his hat off the ground. And behold! there was thé handkerchief beneath it! Shouts of wonder greeted this feat. Paddy Muskrat said he had never seen anything like it. Old Mr. Crow looked very wise and remarked that he thought he knew how it was done. Aunt Polly Woodchuck declared that it she hadn’t seen it herself she } wouldn't have believed it. And then all at once came a cry of Fraud! Fraud!” It came from Uncle Jerry Chuck. In a jiffy every- body else stopped talking and craned his neck to look at Uncle Jerry and hear what he had to say. “There's cheating somewhere {n | this trick,” the old fellow piped. "I believe that Jimmy Rabbit used two handkerchiefs.” “Did you see them?” Jimmy asked with a smile. “No!" said Uncle Jerry. “Not two at the same time. I saw a handker- chief ps through the air from your hat to Billy Woodchuck's. But I didn’t see it pass back again. And that's why I think you used two handkerchiefs.” “You're wrong,” he told Uncle Jer- ry Chuck. And then he said, “The show’s over.” Uncle Jerry was very angry. He cried out that the sleight-of-hand show was all a humbug. ‘“Besides,” he clamored, ‘‘we've seen only one trick. Jimmy Rabbit ought to do at least one more." Now Jimmy Rabbit wanted to please everybody. So he eaid some- what anxiously to Uncle Jerry, “What sleight-of-hand trick would you like “I've always heard—"Unele Jerry replied—"T've. always heard that a first class sleight-of-hander can take a -Rabbit out of a hat. I'd be pleased to see you do that” And he looked around at the company as if to say, “There! T reckon he's stumped.” But Jimmy Rabbit didn't look the least bit anxious. On the contrary, he smiled broadly. it “This is easy,” he said. “Now, watch!™ And taking his hat off nis' head, he bowed low to Unele Jerry| Chuck. “There you are!” he eried “How's that?" : . "How's what?" snapped Uncle Jer- ry. i “The trick!"” said Jimmy. “Didn't 1| just take a Rabbit out of a hat?"
