I knew that ne was absolutely un- certain as to my mood. His imagina- tion, always lively, must have pic- tured me reading the morning papers with their 'bizarre accounts of his es- capade. It was humiliating reading for any wife, and he must have told himself that my grievance would be augmented by the fact that I had had no suspicion of Claire Foster's prox- imity to his social horizon. He had left home to'go to the Adirondack camp of a ‘'best-selling” author whose work he was to illus- trate, and since then—save for a hur- ried, perfunctory note—I had received no word of him. His beseeching tele- gram had brought me to him, but I was sure that he had counted upon my sense of conjugal duty, inherited from my Puritan ancestors, rather than upon my affection, when he dis- patched it. “How Is Claire?” All in all, I told myself a bit grim- ly, my Peter Pan was facing realitiss and finding them rather distasteful. It it had not been for the reporters, who, 1 knew, were furtively watching me, I am afraid I should have given him a greeting which for chilly hau- teur would have confirmed his worst imaginings of my .attitude. But with the knowledge of that furtive, dan- gerous survellance behind me, T .smiled at him and lifted my face to be kissed in the most approved wifely welcoming fashion, after saying with what I fancied was just the right touch of sollcitude: “'Lo Dicky.

G TR SUT Y JOHN AND ANITA RECONCILED, When Barrett and his daughter sanded ‘in Holland, Myra was already on her long journey to the Balkans. * She had left the ship in the customs boat before the passengers were awake. Lying sleepless in his cabin, Bar- rett had fought through night after night Myra’'s analysis of his situation. But as he watched his daughter slow- ly: recover from the shock of his re- volt, ‘he realized how strong his anx- fety for her was. He remembered the time, long ago, when she had hovered, a frail baby almost, between life and death for weeks, He thought of the woman who had watched bestde him, takigs hig.place when he slept, refusing to rest herself, more steadfast in cour- age than he, more enduring. And of how, when the. terrific sus- pense was over, she had..gone on bravely toiling and saving to meet the bills, doing her own work, patching, mending, having nothing herselt - but the‘love she gave her: family. .. .

Tommy can go to his Great-uncle Joseph’s. I'll go some- where else. It doesn't matter where I go, anyhow. I'll find something to eat, somewhere." Now, Mr. Fox intended to get a share of two turkeys. His wife had told him the day before that ‘her cousin, Frederica Fox, had showed her a fine bird that she was saving for the holiday. And there was Mrs. Fox's Aunt Fanny. She had a beau- tiful turkey too. Mr. Fox meant to visit both of these relations of his wife's, As for Uncle John and Uncle Joseph, they had big families. Mr. ‘| Fox thought that the servings of tur- key would be small at their houses. Mrs, Fox said that her husband's plan seemed to be about the best one they could follow. Tnd as soon as they had all had a short nap she and Tommy set out a-visiting. Mr. Fox smiled slyly as he watched them start up the hill. And then, having been out all night, he thought he'd take another nap before he went to get his dinner at his wife's rela- tions’ houses. Mr. Fox reust have been very tired. He slept all day long. When he did at last wake up he stretched himself, put on his best clothes, and went out of doors. “My goodness!” he exclaimed. “It's dark! It's later than I supposed.” And he hurried away to Aunt Fanny Fox's house. He found no one at home. Indeed he found nothing at all in the house except some turkey bones, all licked clean. “They've had their Thanksgiving dinner!” Mr. Fox gasped. And then he rushed off to visit his wife's cousin, Frederica Fox. He heard merry sounds as he drew near his wite's cousin’s home. “I'm just in time,” he murmured with a sigh of relief. But he wasn't. There wasn't a bit ot turkey—nor &nything else left. Mr. Fox declined an invitation to stay and have a good time. He went home and ate cold vegetables. And he was very gloomy when Mrs, Fox and Tommy returned. “We had plenty of turkey—hoth of us,” Mrs. Fox told him. “Uncle John had six turkeys for his fathily. Uncle Joseph had sevep.” Mr. Fox grunted. “Small ones—no doubt!” he said. “And scrawny and tough! “No! They were fine,"” said Mrs. Fox. '“And what luck did you have? I hope you didn't overeat. You seem to be in low spirits. Have you a pain?” “Yes—a terrible one!” Mr. answered with a groan. “But it’s not from overeating.” (Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)

Good Manners Entertaining at dinner, the ideal hostess does her utmost to put any late arrival at ease. Should the guest be a woman, the hostess rises from the table, greets her cordially and conducts her to her place without mentioning the fact that she is late, and making light of her apologies. If it is a man, the hostess bows and smiles without rising. In either case, she starts a conversation immediately to draw attention from the new- comer's tardiness. Marriage A La Mode “Two tigresses in a house are better than two mistresses,” says a Persian proverb ,and owing to this or to economic stress, polygamy has become “unfashionable” in Persia. The Per- stan woman, however, is not a help- mate to her husband in the English sense of the word. The husband manages the establishment, pays the servants and checks the ‘accounts. The priest who educates a Persian ad- vises him as one of the cardinal rules of life always to do the exact opposite of whnk}n woman counsels. KIDNEY STEW DUMPLING BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University Beet kidney is not used as much for food in this country as in England. If from'a good, healthy animal, well pre- pared and well cooked, it makes an appetizing dish. A kidney should be soaked in cold water for an hour or from the time of purchase, and then scalded for two or three minutes It should then be placed in cold water for a short time and then the thin skin removed. The following quantities will make a stew for six people: 2 beef kidneys, cut in pleces 3 tablespoons flour 3 potatoes, washed, pared and cut in quarters. 1 large onion, thinly sliced 3 tablespoons suet or drippings 14 cup celery, cut in small pieces 14 carrot, cut in strips 2 quarts water 11 teaspoons salt Y% teaspoon paprika 14 teaspoon pepper 1 cup tomato In the suet or drippings fry the onion until slightly brown. Roll the kidney pieces in flour and fry with the onion. Add celery, carrot, water, tomato and seasonings. Cover and cook slowly one hour, Then add po- tatoes and cook half an hour. If the liquid cooks away too much, add more—but there is little danger of cooking a stew too much. Add dump- Ilings, cover closely, and cook 20 minutes. i After an absence of several months Billie Burke will come into New York with a new play about Christ- mas time.

DEAN. New York, Dec. 9.—The American stage has achieved more this season than in any other season in the past decade, The years and memory of the writer prohibit the inclusion of a greater period. Credit for the achievement must go more to the players than to the play- wrights, No American this season has wittten the equal of Hugene O'Neill’'s “Anna Christie” of last sea- son. The American plays that have proved a success this season been swung to that end by the play- ers. The only exception to that is Channing Pollock’s “The Fool.” The foreign playwrights also should We everlastingy grateful to the Amer- ican players. Even Shakespeare's soul should rest easier now that John Barrymore has played ‘“Hamlet.” Staged by Arthur Hopkins and de- signed by Robert Edmond Jones this “Hamlet” is probably the greatest single accomplishment in the history of the American stage. Jeanne Eagles in “Rain” and Flo- rence Reed in “East of Suez” do more for those stories than Somerset Maugham did when he wrote them. Margalo Gilmore in “The Roman- tic Age” and Violet Heming and oth- ers in the cast of “The Lucky One” Milne. The latter play is the first staged by Theodore Komigarjevsky, new Russian director of the Theater Guild. These two plays by Milne are far below the standard of his “Mr. Pim By,” “The Truth About Blayds” and “The Dover Road."” Other players to whom wrights should gracefully bow are Helen Menken in ‘“Seventh Heaven,” Grace George in “To Love,” Madge Kennedy in “Spite Corner,” and Ethel Barrymore in “Rose Bernd."” The plays for which the should receive applause are “R.
