. | courtesy, augmented by th Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE What is Lilllan Trying to Keep From Madge? I started after L'lllan in puzzled amazement at her fiction In gathering up the morning nowspapers without offering to let me sce them, The dis- fact that they were all my property, not hers, was 50 unlike hes that I began to wonder if there 'sere some speclal reason for her acticn Could it be possible that she seen something in 'he paper eoncerned me, and which she trying to keep frorn me? The idea was eminently absurd, but it persisted, as ridiculons notions will, and I determined that before I went down to the Ticer eclder-making 1 ‘would see the newspapers which Lil- lian had just carried upstairs. 8he had sald that she meant to take them to my mother-in-law Bwiftly, noiselessly, 1, too, mounted the stairs, and went to my mother-in- law's door, It was ajar, just as . it had been a few minutes before, when I left her mall upon the table. The letters were still there, showing she had not returned to her room, and a gearching glance around told me that no newpapers had been left there. Had Lilllan gone to Dicky's room, where Mother Graham was putting Katie through her paces in one of her house-cleaning orgies? I dreaded the ordeal of meeting my mother-in- law, but the desire to see the van- {shed newspapers was stronger than my reluctance, and I went down the hall, knowing that if Lilllan had car- ried out her avowed intention of tak- ing the newspapers to Mother Gra- ham I would meet her coming away had which was from the scene of the house-cleaning. No one lingers voluntarily near the scene of my doughty mother-in-law's activities in that direction. There was no Lilllan to be seen, however, but before I reached Dicky's door it opened hurriedly, and Katle came into the hall, a harried look upon her face. She closed the¢ door behind her, and walked toward me " swiftly, and I saw her hands clasping and unclasping in a mannerism of hers which always spells extreme nervousness. An Unsuccessful Search “Dot old vomans she drive me crazy I tink,” she whispered as she came up to me, then evidently taking a fresh burst of resolution she added fervently: “But I stand eet for you dees time. You look so seeck.” “Thank you, Katie,” 1 returned ““Have you been in Mr. 's room for the last ten min- “Yes, sure!” “Has Mother Graham been all the time?" “Sure ting," Katie's eyes were won- dering now, “Have you seen Mrs, Underwood in that time?" “I no see Missls Underwood vun, two hour, “Very well, Kdtle, that's all I want- ed to know.” 1 turned my steps to- ward Lilllan's room with my heart beating excitedly, and tapped at her door, “Come In," she sald promptly, and 1 entered, to find Lilllan prosalcally engaged in changing her pretty im-. ported gingham morning gown for a more practical khakl dress. “I'd advise you to follow my ex- ample,” she sald brightly, “Clder stalns, you know," “This couldn't be hurt,” I returned, glancing around the room and seeing no trace of a newspaper. “By the way, I'd llke to look at the newspa- pers a minute, But they're not In Mother Graham’s room." “Telegram, Missis Graham."” There was not an instant's hesita. tion in her answer, “No, she wasn't there, so I took them in to your father, in Tom Ches- ter's room. But I'd advise you to leave them there for a while. Ches- ter has just dropped to sleep, and I think your father could have killed me for coming in. There isn'{ a thing in the papers this morning, anyway, judging from the headlines. They're about as thrilling as a modern congressman's speech, Clever as she was, she was over- doing it, as far as convincing me was concerned. The conviction of some- thing concerning me deepened, but for the present she had effectually splked my guns. I had no cholce but to wait for our return from the cider-making party—unless—a sud- den inspiration seized me. °* I would improvise an errand to the village, and buy more duplicate copies of the papers Lilllan had kept from me, innocently or by design. “It doesn't matter,” I returned in- difterently. “By the way, do you want to drive down to the Harbor with me? I've an errand I must see to before we go to the Ticers.” If she was chagrined, if she sus- pected my errand, nothing in her face or voice betrayed it. “I'd love to,” she sald. Then as the door-bell pealed below, she took a step toward me, almost, I imagined as if she would protect me from something she feared was comink to me. “Telegram, Missls Graham,” Katie called shrilly up the stairs, “and the man says he wants a’ dollar for bring- ing it away out here.” there for Honeymooners Abroad BY ZOE BECKLEY. JACK CAUGHT BY VAMP'S PLOT. Suddeniy Jack stopped laughing. # ‘Look here, Nella!” His white face made her shrink back. “If this is a joke on your part—or a foolish game on Edna's part to punish me or frighten me, I want it stopped im- mediately!" Experienced actress and intriguer as Nella was there was a tremor in her acting of the viclous little com- edy Cousins was staging. But Jack was too keyed up to penetrate her pretense. “Joke, he?” she cried. “Well, {if this is a joke then Mark has sudden- 1y changed his spots. I'm getting sick and tired of his everlasting philander- ing with every new and pretty face he meets on a train—" “Just a minute, Nella!" Jack's volce had turned steady and menac- ing. “You're talking of Edna?" ““Yes, I'm talking of your precious Edna!” Nella stormed. “And you'd better do a little talking to her your- gelf! Carrie Fulton had fallen {ll at Tours and I ran down there to look after her. I expected to stay four days, but I found I could get back the day after 1 got there.

They try doctors and different medi- cines, but feel no better. Finally they take Lydi.l E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and you can see its value in the case of Mrs. Miner. That’s the truth of the matter.

But as T know Mark T thought I'd save the cost of a tele- gram and came back unannounced. I {found that your sweet Edna and my chaste Mark had quietly taken a little trip to Fontainebleau the day before.” Jack stepped back as though he were afrald of what he might do to her, “You don't expect me “to you?" he asked quietly. She stepped close to him. “No. But suppose you telephone Hotel de Caen at Fontainebleau and ask for Madame Duryea,” she chal- lenged. “She should be in her room now. You'll knew her voice." Jack wavered. Then, wheeling, he rushed into the hotel lobby. “Get me Hotel Caen, Fontainebleau, I'rance, please.’ he said to the tele- phone npfira'o! “Call me as soon as you hear from them.” He paced the lobby for a quarter of an hour. 1In the reception room of an hour. In the reception room Nella waited. By the time an attendant Jack to the telephone the young fellow was nearly wild with tension “"Hello,"” he spoke into the recelver. “Is thie Hotel de Caen?” “Oul, monsleur,” came a French- man's reply. “'Oo it is that you belleve s “Madame Duryea. Ts she there?" There was a pauge. "Yes, monsieur She's in her room. Hold 2e telephone. A few moments later Jack heard a voice on the wire, “Yes? What fa it?" 1t was the voice of Mark Stanley (To Be Continned). (Copyright, 1922, NEA Rervice). NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, FATTY.COON MORE OF HIS ENTURES MR, FOX AND THE HEN'S FEATHER. “Save some for me!" That was what Tommy Fox's father was -al- ways saying when any other member of the family had a treat. And If Mr. Fox ever camé home and learned that his household had enjoyed some speclally toothsome dainty during his absence, without keeping a share of it for him, he was sure to be dis- ploased. 8o Mrs, Fox fell into the warning her son Tommy some of that for our father!" Finding some eggs one day in the meadow, where one of Farmer Green's hens had laid them n a wisp of hay, Mrs. Fox gathered them up and took them home. “§ee what I've brought you!" 'she called to Tommy. “You may eat a few now; but be sure to save some of the treat for your father Now, Tommy Fox llked eggs. He ate two then and there. And then he went out of doors to frisk about the pasture for a while. In a short time he crept into the houss again and ate another egg. “That leaves three for father,” he said to himself. Tommy Fox habit of “Save couldn't get his i "Those five rinds are always on Fatty Coons tail” Mr Crow squawked thoughts off those eggs. At last he murmured softly, “FatHer won't want three eggs. I'll eat one more.” And he did. Then there were two left for Mr. Fox. A little while later there was only one egg left for Tommy Fox's father. And soon aft- er that there was none. Tommy Fox had eaten them all. “I've left father the eggshells, any- how,” he thought. “I hope he’ll like them.” But Mr. Fox didn't like them at all. When he came home, later, and learned that there had been six eggs in the house, and’only the shells were left f6r him, he made a great fuss. When he chose to be, Mr. Fox could be very disagreeable. And now he was not only disagreeable. He was quarrelsome. Not only did he blame Tommy for not saving some eggs for him. He blamed Mrs. Fox as well. And certainly she had tried to see that her husband had his share of the treat. Mr. Fox raged and stormed. And right in the midst of his tantrum Tommy went up to him and asked him suddenly, “What's that on your shoulder, Father? Is it a hen's feather?” Mr. Fox made a lightning pass at his shoulder and brushed it with his paw. “Cértainly not! Certainly not!" he cried. But he looked at the floor, a8 if he expected to see a feather there, and intended to set a foot upon it before anybody else spied it. *Mrs. Fox noticed this action. And ;she sald something that made her husband very uneasy. “You've been eating a hen!" she exclailmed. ‘“And you never brought home so much as a wing for us.” Mr. Fox wouldn't lodk at her. He gazed at the floor. He gazed at the celling. And then he said, "Tt was only a very little hen, my love.” Mr. Fox didn’t stay at home long after that. He remarked that a friend was waiting for him over hy the pasture bars. And he slipped quietly out of the house, leaving Mrs. Fox stlll talking to him about the hen that he had eaten by himself. “I'm glad you noticed that feather on your father's shoulder, “Mrs. Fox told Tommy after his father had gone. “T didn't see any feather on him," sald Tommy. “I just asked him a question to get his mind off the eggs." “Well, T declare! You are a sly one,” Mrs. Fox exclaimed. “I'm afrald,” she added, "you're going to be a good deal llke your father.” (Copyright 1922 hy Metropolitan Newspaper Service).

If You Are Well Bred You know that as soon a8 you become engaged to a man etiquette demands that his parents call immediately upon yours, In the most correct circles this call is always made within 24 hours after the announcement, If the young man hdppens to be an or- phan his nearest relative should make the call. Even deep mourning does not excuse his family from this social obligation. . Marriage A La Mode In China a bride never has young girls for attendants. She is always| waited upon by older matrons or spinsters. . Likewise, she never wears white, as that is the color of mourn- ing. Yellow, the national color, is the favorite color for brides. At the wedding ceremony and the feast af- terward the bride speaks only when addressed by her husband or by his parents. She takes no initiative in conversation. SOUTHERN SWEET POTATOES BY BERTHA E.
