ki What Madge Overheard When the Reporters Talked As Dicky hurrlod away to get the car I had requested, I warlly looked around for the reporters who had been upon the train, I had wanted them to see and hear my purposely cordial greeting of my husband, but 1 dreaded any conversation with them, They had not entered the little sta- tion, and as I rose from my seat and walked toward the door with the in- tention of finding out where they were, the ticket agent, an undersized man, who looked as if he would be the better for a thorough dusting, eame out of his office and began to turn out the lights. “Are you closing the station?" 1 asked. The face he turned to me held the conviction that 1 was the last word in banal dullness, and I felt myself inclined to agree with him. “That was the last train,” he an- swered with a finality which made me pick up my bag and scurry to the platform. I was sure that he would méake no bones of locking me up with the station should I not get out. The lights on the platform also had been extinguished, and I found the night pitch dark with the intense blackness which often precedes the rising of a brilliant moon. I knew that there would be a moon later on, but the knowledge was small comfort to me, as I made my way along the glde of the building in the direction of Dicky's departure. A New Measuring Stick 1 turned the corner of the building and grouped my way along it, re- membering that the roadway lay ‘upon the side opposite to that from which I reached the second corner, | and prepared to turn it, I was startled almost into an exclamation by the sound of voices on the roadway side of the building, and the realization that they were the voices of the re- porters. My first impulse was to travel back to the other sgide of the building as noiselessly as I had come, that I might not encounter them. Then the sound of my own name told me they had no idea I was within earshot, and for a second or two prudence battled with good-breeding, and prudence won. T had never thought I would listen 10 a conversation not intended for me but I reflected that in the tacit armed agreement between the re- porters and me, in which they were seeking news concerning Dicky’s es- capade, and I was keeping everything possible from them, a condition had arisen outside of my usual measuring stick, and 1 applied a new and de- Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE cldedly different one which justified my eavesdropping. “Well, shes queered any story " Mr, RicKett sald, *“We might as well go home. You've got to slip it to her, She's made it impossible with that dainty, half-casual, half-anxious greeting of hers for anybody to have tne gnost of a story foundation,” “She Was Self-Control—" “Women are all alike,” observed young Mr. Smythe with gloomy phil- osophy. “Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady stuff all the time. She's just like the slum wife who gets a beating and turns around and kisses her hus- band, She hasn't the apirit of a rab- bit, that one." “Do you think so?" Mr, Rickett asked dryly. “Don't you “My son,” the elder man's volce was a provoking drawl, “it's a brave man who allows himself to form any opinion of a woman's reactions to any given condition. By the way, you're the youngest of us. Suppose you hunt up a garage and rustle a car to take us over to the resort where the Gra- hams are going." “l thought you said just now we might as well go hame,” young Mr, Smythe returned sulklly. “We might as tar as Mrs, Graham is concerned,” Miss Cargill struck in. “But there's always the chance that the Foster is really in love with the gallant aviator. If she is, there may be unexpected fireworks." Young Mr. Smythe's footsteps died away completely before Mr., Rickett again spoke, and I guessed that he had sent the younger man away pur- posely. “Don’t you think Mrs. Graham |Is in love with her husband?"” “Of course,” Miss Cargill returned with such absolute conviction in her voice that I wondered at her knowl- edge. “But she has self-control down to as fine a point as I ever saw. Somebody or soniething has schooled her wonderfully. Why, even while she was kissing him ténight she was warning him that we were behind her! I know it. And he doesn't know whether she cares a bit or not.” Possible Heir Won’t Give Up Job Till He Gets Cash Elizabeth, N. J, Dec. 11.—*Seeing is believing” is an axion to which Fugene Berue, 63 years old street cleaner intends to cling while reports flourish that his wife's brother, Mi- chael Kelly, real estate operator, had died in Kansas leaving them $1,000,- 000. Berue says he will continue to ply his brush until he has the money in his hand. e e et e e NE - MAN WOMAN BY ZOE BECKLEY, LIFE NOW HOLDS ONLY MEMO- RIES FOR KATE WARD, There were no tears. There was no regretting. There was no trying to drag back his soul—to keep it earth bound. . “Goodby!” It was her one word to him® departing; one gently spoken word, Then she turned back to the world with its tounks to pack, its food to buy and its living to make. Dan Ward was dead. It was like Kate Ward to close the book, silently, tearlessly and go back to life without any rebellion at the increase in its complexities. She might have wished for a mo- ment as she turned away from the mound of loose sod that for her, life ‘would hold no more tomorrows. But the tomorrows were there. They must be lived. And,-more ‘than that, she had had her hour of paradise. Together they had ‘found it. What it she did have to grope back alone? One can't ask too much of life. Kate Ward busied herself with her trunk and grips. There wasn't much to pack. And with his_fitful galli- vanting through life her Rusband had E— MOTHER!

THERE WASN'T MUCH TO PACK. left no cause for legal procedure. The taxi was waiting. Mrs. Ward settled in the corner of .the vehicle. The station was easily a mile dis- tant. Then there was an all-night ride. She wondered what the little town would look like when she reached it. The little green station—she re- membered almost every initial cut in its door frame. And the streets— wide, shady streets, with trees and grasses and friendly dogs trotting leis- urely. v » And then, back there, way over at the edge of town, near the path which wound out toward the cemetery, was the little house! As, such a little house!# Rainwashed sides to which vines clung affectionately. Windows, with small, friendly panes, behind which white curtains fluttered. A roof, low and sloping, which held close communion with fragrant branches of two giant"pines. A little fence with a gate, which invited. As the train rumbled through the night Kate Ward awake, staring into the darkness of the curtained area of her berth went back over the years. She remembered the day she had started out of the gate to school, so glad, so gay and so little. And the high school days—those madly happy days. She remembered them all, even the day she came back and walked up the path carrying a gorry little satchel, with her few clothes, remnants of her first summer In the city. She had come back then -~back home, where there was air to breathe and folk to trust. Her mother stood in the door that noon. “Wihat, you back?” she said. That was 12 years ago. Kate wondered vaguely, half fear- fully, what lay ahead of her now. (To Be Continued). (Copyright, 1922, NEA Bervice). | drift and you'll find that SLEEPY-TIME TALES JIMMY RABBIT'S JUMPER.

He saw Frisky Squirrel sitting on the limb of a tree, eating a nut which he had taken from his winter's store. “Well, will you help me?" Jimmy asked, “Yes! I'll help you to think,"” Fris- ky answered. clearly and well, you must do your, thinking without anything to take your mind off it. You mustn't be able to see anything nor hear anything.

Suppose somebody like Peter Mink came along when I had my head bur- fed? He'd grab me before I knew he was anywhere near me.” “That's easily arranged,” Frisky Squirrel told him. “You stick your head in that drift just behind you; and I'll sit here and watch. If any- body like Peter Mink appears, I'll call to you.” Jimmy Rabbit smiled all over his face. ¥ “Oh! Thank you!” he cried. “That's very kind of you.” And with one jump he randed in the middle of the snow- drift and plunged his head out of sight. , Therc was just one trouble Wwith Frisky's plan. Though Jimmy Rab- bit's head was buried deep in the snow, his tong ears, which he had folded back, still stuck out alongside Lis shoulders. “He'll have to go deeper than that,” Frisky muttered to himself, Having promised to help, Frisky ran far out on a branch, until he was di- rectly over Jimmy Rabbit. And then he dropped off and landed squarely upon Jimmy's back. Frisky's ‘weight sent Jimmy Rab- bit's head deeper into the soft snow. His ears no longer showed. “There! That's better,” TFrisky Squirrel exclaimed. ' And he hopped off Jimmy's back and scurried up in- to his tree once more. But as soon as he had seated himselt again and glanced down at his friend he saw that Jimmy Rabbit had pulled his head out of the drift and was looking all about with a frightened air. “What happened?” Jimmy “What hit me?"” “I dia,” sald Frisky. ‘“Your ears weren't covered. I know you ought to bury them, or you'd hear every roise in the woods and you wouldn’t be able to think.” “You startled me,” Jimmy Rabbit told him. “I'm afraid I shan’t be able to think any more today.” “That's a pity,” Frisky replied. “I'm sorry 1 jumped on you.” “Ah!” Jimmy Rabbit cried sud- denly. “I have it now. What you said just now ’put an idea into my mind.” “What I said?” “I don't understan “This is what I mean,” Jimmy ex- plained. “You jumped on me, You're a jumper.

SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University Christmas, the greatest holiday of the year is commonly accepted as the observance ot the birth of Christ. It was, however, a celebration of the pagans for centuries before the Christian era. During the mid-winter season, a definite period of feasting and reverence was set aside in honor of the various gods worshipped. In ‘Scandinavian countries of the north, the season was known as Yule- tide and the offerings made to the great god Thor. The ceremony as- sumed a spirit of thanksgiving, and gifts not only were offered to the gods but also were exchanged by these peoples. In England, very early in history, the Christmas dinner became a defi- nite consideration. The goose, boar's head and baron of beef, were chosen as the meats to be eaten. The Boar's Head The boar's head, throughout Bu- rope, was very highly thought of, and when garnished with garlands of laurel and placed on a huge platter, was served with the greatest cere- mony, always being heralded with trumpets. The goose a nice fat was stuffed, roasted, on a &pit and often served with sausages. The manner of cooking has not materially changed and the goose served today at Christmas is treated much the same way. In Germany, the goose is rubbed in- side and out with salt, pepper, sweet herbs, and allowed to stand, over night. In the morning tie bird is stuffed with a mixture of potato, sour apples butter, bread crumbs, ralsins and curgants and roasted. It is served with a gravy made of the giblets, and either apple sauce or a compot of some kind. Here at Home The American Christmas dinner is a mixture of English and French dishes. Perhaps a typical menu would be: ‘ Oyster Soup Pickles Olives Celery Roast Goose—Onion and Potato Btuffing | Baked Ham-—Glazed Sweet Potatoes Maghed Turnips Plum Pudding Hard Sauce one, always Mince Pie Nuts and Ralsins Candies Marzipan I"ruit Coffee Gossip’s Corner Good Manners Tf, dinfng out, you have been so un- fortunate as to break a cup or glass, you will say a word of sincere regret to your hostess, without, however, making profuse apologies.
