MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New Phase of "REVELATIONS OF A WIFE What Katie Told Madge Had Made Her “Mad” Lillian's request was llke a sharp - gust of wind, lifting the miasma of suspicion from my mental horlzon. _ After all, T knew nothing of what . really had happened, story was plainly exaggerated—It was one of the freakish stunts which with alleged humor admittedly acrificed absolute accifracy to cleverpess—and " Dicky's telegram was simply another . wording of Lilllan's appeal to reserve " my judgment until I had seen him, I i 4 vf‘ because Lilllan deftly the festering sliver from the wound he had given me. No matter what alleviating circumstances there were, it still was a most humiliating exper- fence to which he was subjecting me. I wondered how he would act were it possible for me to have given him a ' similar jolt, and then I realized that * Lilllan was looking at me and that I bhad not answered her request. 1 put the mending down, went over fo her and kised her. “You are the best friend elther Dicky or 1 has ever had,” 1T said warmly. “You have the right to re- _quest anything vou like of me. TI'll try to be good, honestly 1 will.” “The Pirate Craft.” She looked up at me with eyes \suddenly moist, and the sight of the tears which she dashed aside im- patiently made me realize how deep- ly she was feeling my trouble. It takes strong emotion to bring the tribute of even dashed-away tears to Iilian's eyes. “You dear !" she exclaimed tender- ly. "“Remember I know exactly what you're going through. It f{sn't any summer squall, it’s a real storm, but ‘you're going to. weather it through ‘like the brave little mariner you are.” ’ The doorbell pealed, and I gave a I mervous start. Lilllan patted my shoulder reassuringly. 4 “And here are the pirate craft, the ‘reporters,” she smiled, ‘or I miss my .

BEGIN HERE TODAY Had the married life of JOHN BARRETT and his wife, & ANITA, really reached the breaking point? o He thought that he could bear the in- tolerable monotony no longer and an- nounced that now, after 1) years of matrimony, he was golng tn leave wife " and children and seek happiness with . MYRA DEAN, brilliant journalist and wom- an of the world. But Myra reminds him that he has responsibilities and that she does not care to figure as co-respondent in a divorce case. Barrett leaves her apartment determined to think out the situation. GO ON WITH THE STORY. As Barrett came out of Myra's little house a chill wind from the river swept over him with sobering touch. | Curlously, he seemed to see himself standing at the brink of deep waters Responsibilities, Myra had said. Hideous, relentless word! That's what ‘his whole life was—responsibilities. Who cared about him? Anita took the money he made as a matter of course, She hardly knew, he jeered in his bitterness, whether he was an archi- " tect or a lawyer. All she cared ahout was her Literary soclety, her Politi- cal Equality league, her Bridge club, her correct and conventional enter- tainments, her perfect clothes, her— yes, Anita did care for the children.| Given her home, her checkbook and ther children, he mused résentfully, shat matter where he was or whether she ever saw him again! He wondered if there would be even a ripple In the household when he left. When he left-— There were the responsibilities again. His mar- riage promise—for hetter, for worse, for richer, for poorer.

Gored models are good, too, and skirts with circulay flares are also in demand.

The present outlook is that prices in all cotton materials will be higher this coming spring than last. Fashionable Veils Heavily embroidered borders are noticed on some of the newest vells. Browns and tans are the most popu- in- ahades and are frequently seen in combination. Fashionable Frock Many narrow bands of metallic rib- bon In many colors make a band about 18 inches deep on a bouffante | party frock of white taffeta. The round neckline and the armholes are bound with bias bands of the ma- terial. No sleeves. Veiled Metal Cloth Black silk lace mounted on silver cloth gives the effect of an elaborate sllver brocade in a very smart din- rer gown designed for a matron. Metalllc cloth is frequently veiled with lace to produce a softer effect. Colored Bridal Frocks In England there is a tendency to introduce colors into the bridal gown. Mauve, pink and other delicate shades of satin have been used instead of the time-honored white. The fashion has made no headway in America or France.

Marriage A La Mode The custom of having all the bridesmaids dress alike at a wedding had its origin back in the primitive days when evil spirits were supposed to attend wedding ceremonies and see how much trouble they could stir up, 8o the bride and bridegroom always were surrounded by friends of thelr lown age and sex, similarly dressed, to make it more difficult for the spirits to single out the happy couple and jearry out their evil designs. | | FRANCES WHITE AT PARSONS' Petite and wivacious Frances White and clc\'er-’ru?lor Holmes will be, the attraction at Parsons’ theater, Hart- ford, the first half of this week, open- ing tonight in the Messrs.
