| MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New Phase of . iy 5 The Demand Madge Made of Claire Foster Yor a long, tense minute after my call to Claire Foster through her closed door there was no answer, al- though my ears, always sharp, heard furtive little rustlings, and 1 guessed that the girl was making some quick change either in her room or her clothing before greeting me. Then her door swung wide, and she stood framed in the doorway, a pitl- ful traveoty of the smartly-gowned, insouciant ultra-modern girl whom 1 remembered, True, the kimono wrapped around her was both costly and beautiful, but Claire Foster had been distinctly the peppy, tweed- coated, sport-skirted and bloused type of girl. 1 could not have visualized her in a kimono. Although her bobbed hair with its natural wave was freshly brushed—I reflected that it took but & second or two to reduce it to order —she had not had time to remove all traces of the rouge and powder she must have hastily applied, and I guessed that underneath the cosme- ties, which the glowing girl of the summer before never had needed. there was a pallor she did not wish me to pee. Bhe was quick-witted enough to play ‘up to me, as I had known she would when I called her name through the door. We never had ad- dressed each other by anything save the formal “Mrs. Graham" and “Miss Foster,” but she promptly responded to my use of her first name with an exuberant little cry. “Oh, Madge! How dear of you to come to me so soon! I've had the most hectic time.” Claire “Plays Up.” She put out her hand, pulled me past her Into the room, swung the door to securely behind me and spoke in a tone 8o lifeless, so changed from the tone she had just used that I started in amazenment. 7 “That was the way you wished me to play up, wasn't it? If I was too famillar, pray forgive me.” She stood a few paces {from me, stiff, almost bristling, as if she were an animal at bay. Her eyes were as full of life as her voice was devoid of it, and they gazed at me with a de- flance that 1 was™ sure was only a mask for far different emotions. “You did just exactly what I wished you to do,” I said in the matter-of- fact tones I would have used to a pupil, when, in my teaching days, 1 had had occasion to commend a task performed. “And now, tell me about , your arm and shoulder. Dicky says \ for you to get on a traveling dress?’ Her eyes widened, “What do you mean?'" she breathed, “Why, I want to take yom back home with us, of course,” I said brisk- ly. "“Are you able to go?"' “Oh, I'm able enough !" turned, My arm and shoulder are a little lame, but I've exaggerated them In order to keep out of the way of those pet stuffed poodles on the veranda."” Her volce dripped con- tempt and aversion, then changed to sharp, half-suspicious wonder, “I Brought It On Myself."” “You want me to go home with you ~—why? “Suppose we don't discuss the rea- son now,” 1 replied smoothly. “We haven't time. Just now I want you to do something for me. Wil you?"” 8he hesitated only a second. "Of course," she sald simply. “What is it?" “Get into one of your smart little sults—something you could travel In tonight if necessary, and come with me into the dining room. Mrs. Bar- ker is to give Mr. Graham and me some supper there, if Mr. Graham doesn’t upset everything by squab- bling with her before I get back there. If I can manage to smooth things out I will stay here with you tonight, and we will leave tomorrow forenoon. If not, we will.drive back to the hotel in Caldwin." “I understand,” she sald slowly, addressing herself rather than me. “It's going to be like the third act of a society comedy. Effective ‘close- up’ of husband, wife and—and-—third the re. IME IR P SLEEPY-T TALES BELINDA BUNNY'S UNCLE ISAAC, Miss Belinda Bunny had an uncle, whom the whole family called Uncle Isaac. Indeed everybody in Pleasant Valley called him by the same name. And everybody agreed that he was about the laziest person in the whole neighborhood, He had no home, but went about visiting his relations, who always groaned when they saw him coming and passed him along, as soon as they could, to some other house- hold. No! There was just one of the for- ost-folk that thought Uncle Naac just perfect. This was Belinda Bun- ny's mother., Uncle Isaac was her own brother, She sald he wasn't lazy, but 1ll. And she would have been glad to keep him at her house al- ways. But if he stayed longer than six months at a time, Belinda Bunny's father began to grumble. And of course that made things disagreeable for everybody. When Mr. Bunny bed| gan to grumble, Uncle Isaac always hurried to pack his bag, .He was never known to hurry at any other time. Young Jimmy Rabbit often went to Belinda Bunny's house, But hel didn’t go there to see Uncle Isaac. He went to see Belinda herself. Uncle Isaac, however, didn't seem to grasp this fact. He always appeared to think that Jimmy Rabbit came just on his account. It often struck Jim- my Rabbit that Uncle Isaac was usually waiting for him to call. “Ah!" Uncle Isaac:would exclaim as soon as Jimmy walked into the bouse. “You're just the chap I want party amicably supping together with all the gossiping ladies peeping through the cracks of the door. Oh, yes, T'll join you, and I suppose I ought to be mighty grateful for the chance. “But,” she stared at 'me, “I'm not, someway, I haven't at all the proper feelings for the occasion, I assure you. You'd much better leave me alone. T'm plannipg to leave tomor- row, anyway, and there's really no reason why you should mix yourself up in this mess. I brought it on my- self, and I can see it through.” She was as hard, as unyielding as a concrete wall, but I guessed that behind it she was nothing but a frightened child. I found myself long- ing to comfort her, but I knéw the danger of her breaking down under sympathy, and I kept my voice as cold as her own. 8 “I am not insulting you by s@p- posing that there is any reason why I should not see you through this,” I said deliberately. “And because I have come up here to get you out of this nest of gossip, I expect you to they dre bruised. Are they too sore | Play the game as I outline it.” O T R A ONE - MAN WOMAN BY ZOE BECKLEY. IF DAN COULD TELK! BEGIN HERE TODAY The greatest tragedy of all came sud- denly into the life of KATE WARD, the girl who had been des- tined to walk In tragic paths. In her Youth she ran away from home after a misunderatanding with her mother. Thén came life in the big city, her love of DAN WARD, her marriage to him, his desth and finally her return to the home of her childhood. Her mother, she learned, was dead. Kate settled down to care for her old father, JUBTIN PARSONS. Then the other wom- an appeared, CHINATOWN ALICE, who declared that Dan Ward was the father of her child. GO ON WITH THE STORY Kate Ward gdzed at the girl, fas- cinated by the grotesque effect of her bravado and her childishness. Then her eyes turned to Dorothy and lingered there. Dorothy was beautiful. Small of frame, well rounded as to legs and arms, brown of eye and halr, with a delicately lovely mouth. There was something strangely like Dan about her, Kate thought; there was the same odd combination of spirituality and daring. Kate had loved that in Dan. The child brought it all back too plainly. The sight of her opened the old wounds and set them throb- bing afresh. “Chinatown Alice,” she echoed, searcely hearing her own voice. “Chinatown Alice,” the girl repeated and then laughed. There was no mirth in the cackling sound, simply a rat- tiing and jarring of vocal tones. “And what——did you want me to do?” Kate guestioned, “did you want me to—to take the child, keep her?"” falteringly. v“But I couldn’t do that, you know," Kate found herself rushing on. "I couldn't—oh, T conldn't!" Her hands over her eyes, shut out the sight of little Dorothy, whd still sat on the Jounge and watched the two women with wide, wondering eyes. “Take her! Take her!" Alice broke in. “Take the only thing I've got in all the world! “1 may be a Chinaman's woman,” bitterly. “Maybe there isn't much that T care for any more, or much of a show for me, but—I'll keep my child! “There are other things you could do,” her volce had lost fts fury and her thin, white face was wistful. “If 1 had a little money I could send her ta a nice school where she could take lessons and learn things 1 didn’t have a chance at, GIFT SUGGESTIONS FOR HER FOR HIM FOR THE KIDDIES On Today’s Want Ad Pag Classifications 65 A-B-(#D | CHRISTMAS ‘Gt put it down in'the corner’ to see. do. I want you to run down to Farm- er Green's garden and get me a fine cabbage.” Or maybe he would say something like this: “They tell me the peas are ready. Hop down to the garden patch.and pick me a peck or two!'* Now, Jimmy Rabbit soon grew tired of doing errands for Uncle Isaac. Uncle Isaac would thank him, and| praise him with glowing words. But that was all. He never offered Jim- my a single taste of the good things that Jimmy brought lum. So at last one day, when Uncle® Isaac asked Jimmy to go and gather an armful of bark’ for him, Jimmy told him that he was afraid he hadn't time to help him, Uncle Isaac showed at once that his feelings were hurt. And his sister, Mrs. Bunny, exclaimed, “Why, Jim- my Rabbit! You know you wanfl to help Uncle Isaac. He isn’t at all well today.” - “It's slippery elm that I need,” Uncle Isaac explained. ‘‘My cough is worse today. That's the only thing ~ “OH — DAN — DAN, IF COULD ONLY COME BACK TELL ME ABOUT IT!" You AND “And she could still be with nights,” she added. i Kate Ward couldn’t remember how the interview with Chinatown Alice ended, Suddenly she found herself up- |stairs in the little room under the eaves—the same little roorfi which had |known her sorrow 12 years hefore— and there she gave way to her grief. “Oh—Dan-—Dan,” she was talking ‘nlnud. “if you could only come bhack {and tell me about it-—TI understood ft all while you were here--all of the (things other people blamed you for— {1 understood you and knew you weren't untrue at heart--but this, oh, Dan, 1 cgn't—1 can't live on-—ever my mem- ory of you is gone now. I can't cher- ish it—knowing that—you cared for someone else!’ Outside, the sun stood high in the heavens. The little, rain-washed cot- tage was bathed in golden glory. | There were no shadows. The grass, brilliant in the strong light, swayed slightly in a gentle breeze. The |heaven-kissing pines were scintillant. |Nature was at peace. | But in the room under the ecaves | Kate Ward suffered. Finally the door was pushed open. A hand lay lightly on her shoulder. me (To Be Continued). (Copyright, 1022, NEA Service).

I couldn't do that, yong man. It would be very bad for my cough. If I got my feet wet I'd have to spend the rest of the winter in bed.” And Mrs. Bunny, his sister, told Jimmy Rabbit that he ought to be glad to do an errand of mercy for anybody as ill as Uncle Isaac was. So Jimmy Rabbit went off to gather some bark for the invalid. Indeed Mrs. Bunny said flatly that she wouldn't let her daughter Belinda go out to play unless Uncle Isaac had his bark. She declared that if he didn't need at least two nurses to take care of him. It was a long journey to the nearest slippery elm tree. Jimmy Rabbit hadn’t traveled far before he made up his mind that he would give Uncle [sanc something else. He would give him some smartweed, which every- body knows i{s sharp and biting to the tongue. Uncle Isaac was a very lively in- valid when Jimmy Rabbit returned, “Ah-h-h!" he exclaimed, when Jim- my came in with his paws laden with a mass of something or other. “Just put it down in'the corner. I'll go and put on my slippers and then I'll eat a little of the medicine.”” He was very fond of slippery elm. sAnd being in a great hurry to taste it, he hur- ried off to get his slippers without looking closely at what Jimmy had brought him. As he went out of the room Uncle Isaac turned his head over his sheulder. “Thank you so much!" he said. "“May I go out with Jimmy now?" Belinda Bunny asked her mother. “Yes!” Mrs. Bunny told her. “RBut don't stay long. Uncle Tsaac may want somebody to go on an errand a little later." The youngsters had gone when | Uncle Isaac came back to his feast. He thrust his paws down dark corner‘and stuffed his full of the smartweed, Mrs. Bunny heard a muffled shriek. Water! Water! Help! Help! I'm poisoned!” cried Uncle Isaac. Mrs, Bunny tore out of the house and ran to the spring. She was gone a short time. But when she returned she couldn't see Uncle Isaac anywhere. Her hushand, however, had come home. And he seemed in into the mouth | better spirits than he had heen in for half a year. “Where's Uncle Isaac?” Mrs. Bunny asked Mr, Bunny. “Has he gone to bed 7" tion is needed to make one foot of coal.

Knitted Costumes Knitted costumes are shown not only for sports wear at winter resorts, but for general utility. They vary in weight, some belng very light and others of a very heavy quality of wool or silk, but nearly all follow the gen- eral style of separate skirt and slip- over blouse. Colorful Bouquets Colorful flowers made into small bouquets are seen on many dark coats and suits. The single red or pink rose and the white camellia are as popular as ever. : Separate Skirts For sports wear are many attractive striped skirts, pleated and- plain.

Often it plunges the bridegroom's family, which pro- vides it, deeply in debt. Musiciang, dancers and wrestlers are hired for the occasion. The most elaborate refreshments are served. Bachelors are held in disfavor and it is con- sidered a disgrace for a man to die unwedded. - (AAAAAAA VOICES IN THE AIR Monday, December 18, 1922, KDKA (Westinghouse, East Pittsburgh). 6:15 p. m.—Special dinner concert by KDKA Little Symphony orchestra. 7:16 p. m.—News.
