MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison’ REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Almsot Panicky Fear That Fol- lowed Madge. ‘Immediately after 1 was comfort- ably settled in my seat in the train I realized I had not seen the, last of the reporters. Almost directly oppo- pite me sat Miss Carglll and Mr, Rickett, chatting In comradely fashion, while two seats behind them, young Mr., Smythe ostensibly was buried in n magazine. Nono of them made any attempt to spenk to me on the journey. Misa Carglll nodded brightly and smiled when I eaught eight of her, and Mr. Rickett lifted his hat with smiling | courtesy, but Mr. Smythe, to my great relief, apparently ignored my exist- ence, although 1 was sure that from his vantage place behind me he was furtively watching me. With a sudden racing of my pulses 1 realized that 1 was actually under their espionage. Neither Miss Car- gill nor Mr. Rickett would misquote me or write anything which had no foundation in fact, because of the high ideals of their craft which they | held. But I saw now, ‘what I had failed to see before, that they in all probability follow me to Cald- win to make sure that 1 did not change my mind concerning Dicky's escapade when 1 reached there, and | give them some valid excuse for a fur- ther story. That they were more dangerous to my fear of publicity than young Smythe, 1 saw plainly. I was sure that T had so thoroughly cowed him | that he would be most careful what he wrote concerning me, although, of course, he would malevolently go as far as he dared, But Miss Cargill and Mr. Rickétt had much greater courage than he, and they were also | sure of the exact boundary between a safe newspaper story and one that might prove a boomerang. Under Close Observation, 1 did not need to looK again at their keen, shrewd faces to know that they would not leave my vicinity until they were convinced that my meeting with Dicky and Claire Foster would not provide them with material which they could use. The discovery startled me, and in a way was a most salutary thing for me. If 1 had not made it, I should have brooded all through my journey over Dicky's actions, and the warn- would | 's New Phase of ings my father and Lillian had given me, Instead, all my culties were bent toward the one "Olllm, how to avold any chance of fuMher publicity. I already had made up my mind to greet Dicky and Claire Foster as if nothing had happened, But 1 had made one exception Dicky invari- ably kisses me upon my arrival from or departure on a fourney. I had feit [ that T could not hear to receive ,that kigs, But I saw now that if T could not unobtrusively avoid it, T must submit to it. The train slowed for Southampton, | Mr. Rickett's voice sounded distinctly | in my ears | “I'll put | he said, yours on the wire, too,"” Madge Is Puzzled, | “Thanks so much,” Miss Cargill's volee replied, ‘“Here, I heard the click of her purse. “No time now,"” crig dettle when I get back. “All right,”” and as Mr. Rickett | walked briskly down the aisle I glimpsed the cMirming comradely re- lations which exist in the newspaper | world between the men and women workers, A world in which each pays his or her score with scrupulous exactness, but in which the men have not lost their = chivalrous {instincts | toward women. Young Mr. Smythe hurried after Mr. Rickett, and a furtive glance out of the window showed me the two men going into the telegraph office ! of the station. Each handed the operator some sheets of paper and a bill. Each ignored the change and raced back to the train just as it got under motion. | 1 puzzled over this untll the train drew into the Pennsylvania station, ! T knew they had had ample time to telegrams before they boarded the train. Why had they wired from | Southampton? It must have been sgmething concerning my presence on the train. When the train stopped I gathered |up my bag and purse and followed the crowd to the staircase leading to the upper level. At the top stood a number of people waiting for our ar- rival. As 1 reached the top of the stair- way I saw a tall, apparently old man with white mustache and Vandyke beard turn quickly and bury himself in the crowd. y. “We can| i send —DEEP WATERS— BY ZOE B ECKLEY. BARRETT SEVERS THE LAST TIE Barrett flung away from Myre Dean's shuttered house in savage re- volt against the world., He had been for a long time in a state of nerves, " in which it seemed every element in 1ig life wasghostile. His business, his home, his s8®ial life Sgemed all askew. Responsibilities weighed upon him, the things he used most to love, palled —work, his office, reading, motoring, golf. Everything either bored or ‘jangled. Only Myra had stood out as & refuge of peace and sympathy. Now that she, too, had turned from him, he was glad in a way. He owed no one any consideration. His last doubts were resolved. He would get out of this maddening monotony of respectable suffering, this hideous death-in-life. Telephoning from a drug store, , he gave orders to the club steward to have his bags sent to the “Zeeland"” at once. He would spend the might on board. It made him feel more sev- ered from unpleasant things. He walked out of the store and looked for a cab. A black-and-white one was just drawing to the curb, with a girl in it that reminded him of Alice; a boy who looked like John. A pang went through him as he realized en second glance that they bore little resemblance to his chil- dren. “Nerves must be going pot,” he told himself. “I'm imagining things." He didn't take the black-and-white cab, but stood there, a sort of pull upon his mind detaining him. Some thing made him go back into the drug gtore, lift the receiver and call his| home. He'd just tell was off in the morning on the “Zee. land"-—and if he had any last-minute thing to say he could reach him up to sailing time His heart at sank unaccountably Junior's lifeless voice saying: “All right, father, it there thing. But what is there to say? Alice wasn't able to make you see that is—1 den't know-—Oh, 1 don't know what—" He trailed off inco herently. “Well, T don't suppose there is any- thing more—Goodby.” e waited a moment, hoping the hoy wonld gay “Wait a minute, father.” But there was silence, He heard the click of the cut-off. He went onf, is any- 1 bonght a few toilet ar ticles for which he preferred not to send to his home, and went on hoard the Zeeland. Hurrying to his cabin he locked the door, lay down upon his bed and gave up to bitter rumina- tion. Hours passed. He fell into a leaden sleep. A steward looked in in the morning. “Breakfast, sir?” And Barrett heard the ieh waves against a moving boat (To Re Continued).

SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia As the holiday |the housewife alw ing plum pudding and fruit cake, ‘As they both keep indefinitely they can be made several weeks before Christmas and New Year. Both fruit caké and plum pudding are old, dating back to Roman days. Of course the method of making them was different The spelling used to be “plumb” | and the old Fnglish cook books have | recipes for “plumb’” cake. The plum pudding was originally made of bar- | ley with large pieces of suet in it and | many plums. All the children rhyme: ason approaches thinks of mak- know the old “When good King Arthur ruled this 1and He was a goodly king He stole three pecks of harley meal To make a bag pudding . king did make, with plums, fat “A bag pudding the And stuffed it well And in it put great lnmps of As big a8 my two thumbs “The king and queen did eat thereof, | And noblemen beside, ! And what they could not eat that: night H The queen, next morning, fried.” Plumb pudding is of German origin, having been called “plum squash,” and was the combination of barley ‘and juice from fresh plums, The Saxons boiled their pudding in | a cloth, a custom which still followed, althongh a bowl is sometimes used with a cloth tied over the top. The | plums are nsed no longer, but instead:| raisins. The suet makes the pudding rich enough to prevent drying, and it may be reboiled or steamed at any time and become as soft and delicate as i | st made. Some cooks think that | that limb!” | put bread erumbs preferable to flour, making a more delicate pudding. Pagan Custom, The pagans had a festival at the beginning of the longest night in the year in honor of the god Thor, offerings in the form of cakes made of finest flour and sweetened Wwith honey were made and not only offered to the god, but were given to triends, When the Christian church wished to celebrate the birth of Christ it chose this time and festival and called it Christmas, The cake, usually plum cake, was made and served, and some of it was kept untll New Year's Day, or the suceceding year would be un- lucky, I"ruit cake may be made simple with raisins gnd currants, or more elaborate with candied fruit and nuts. It was always thought necessary to put in brandy or whiskey to make the cake keep without drying, but strong coffee does very well, and if the cake is napped and placed In a stone jar there is little danger of its drying be- fore it is all eaten Peace | "ALE* ECPY TIME' TOMMY FOX DOESN'T CARE FOR NUTS, It was late in the fall and food was gettingy scarce in the woods. I'risky Squirrel had plenty of nuts stored away for his winter's fare. But he always hated to begin to eat what he had saved for the long, cold mpnths ahead. Howaver, now and theh he went to one of his hiding places and took out a few nuts—the smaller ones | —and sat on the limb of a tree and oracked them. Prowling through the woods, Tom- my Fox caught sight of Frisky as he was enjoying one of these luncheons. And Tommy seated himself on the ground below and looked up at the busy nutcrgcker above him. Tommy Fox seemed very friendly. He smiled and wagged his tail, just a old dog Spot wagged his tail when he was in @ merry mood. But he didn't fool Frisky Squirrel. Frisky knew that Tommy Fox was a sly rascal, who would pounce upon him the very first time he caught Frisky napping. Frisky Squirrel didn't say a word to the smiling watcher. He went on eating his nuts and dropping the shells right down upon Tommy Fox's head. That showed what he thought of Tommy Fox. It was rude of Frisky Squirrel to| drop nut shells upon a caller., But Tommy Fox kept smiling. ' Yet all the time he was thinking, “How I wish that young Squirrel would fall o 1 Of ‘course Tommy knew that there wasn't more than ofe chance in a million of Frisky Squirrel's making a was Tommy Fox's paw! misstep, He spent most of his time in the tree tops. Still, you never could tell. Perhaps that one chance ~~that one misstep-——would come now! So Tommy waited patiently. Now and then a little shower of shells ____|sprinkled him. When they fell, he only blinked his eyes. And at last something that he hndn t looked for happened. )¥risky Squirrel dropped a nut! VN‘)’ seldom did a nut slip out of his i paws. And no doubt this one wouldn't have fallen if Frisky hadn’t been looking down at his caller. Frisky was angry with himself. Rut he didn't let Tommy Fox know that it was an accilent. ““Have a nut!'’ he called to Tommy. The nut had hit Tommy ¥Fox on the end of his nose. And Tommy acted as if he thonght that a good joke. He laughed and wagged his tail more| gayly than ever. “Thank you' he said. for g “That's a pity To himself he mutt@red, me!” And then Tommy Fox yawned and etched himself. “I believe,’ 'he remark home and take a nap. 1T last night.” “Oh, don't go!" cried Fris] But under his breath he murmured, "I’ H‘ be glad when he' fi gone, I know | what T'll dé then," 1 Tommy Fox said good-bye and, loped away toward the back pasture, where the Fox family had their home. As soon as he was out of sight,! Frisky Squirrel scurried down out of the tree, to get the nut that he had dropped, before somghody else came along and claimd it.

Holiday crowds that saw Fox's show were more than delightéd and capacity houses are expected tonight and at all three performances tomor- row. Tom Mix, always a big draw- ing carfl, is at his best in the picture “Arabia.” Of thrills, there are aplenty, but these are outnumbered by the laughs. - He starts as a ranch owner and in a series of strange ad- ventures goes to Arabifa where he ig mistaken as the heir apparent to the throne. The vaudeville is headed by Phil Adams and his Bridal Belles. This is a troupe of sprightly young maideéns who sing and dance to the queen’s tastc and are supported by Adams, whose comedy lines are a kinockout. Gerry and Jean have an entertaining novelty act; and Hart and Rubino, musicians, play in a way that gets the house. The Heynoffs alternate at dancing "and acrobatics and do equally well with each.
