Adele Garrison' s New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE What Madge Won Mrs. Barker to Promise no time in formalities With Mra, Barker as 1 entered the dining room In search of her, and saw the disapproving frown upon the face which she turned toward me, 1 took from my face the mask of airy artlessness which I had put on for her benefit, and pocketed it where I could get at it handlly when I should - en- counter the veranda tabbles, And It was with a mien almost as forbidding a8 her own that I accosted her, “May I have three minutes of your time where no one can hear us?" 1 asked. Bhe looked at me searchingly for a second, and then, her face clearing, she waved her hand toward a door at the side of the dining room. “Come into my own sitting room,” she said. "It is small, but it is the only place I call my own, and no one comes near it unless I say. so.” “I could well believe that,” 1 said to myself, as 1 followed her into an austere, plainly furnished, but com- fortable little sitting room, and took the chair to which she motioned me. “Now,” she said, closing the door, and moving a chair opposite mine, “what's on your mind? Thought bet- . ter of trying to pull the wool over my eyes with the ‘best friend’ stuff?"” “Something like that.” T rejoined promptly, although the bluntness of the attack, coupled with the keen in- sight it betrayed, startled me. “I am going to lay the exact case before you, and I am sure you will approve of my course.” A’ Frank Confession “Humph,” she responded non-com- mittally. “Go on.” “In the firgt place,” I said briskly, “Miss Foster is not my best friend, nor even a very dear one. But 1 know her quite well. She has been & guest at my home, and I would stake my life upon the certainty that in this absurd performance there has been nothing really wrong. But I realize as you do, that she has been highly indiscreet, as we.. as most in. considerate of me. “Naturally,” I' went on, “I do not particularly relish coming up here, either to see her or my husband, whom I blame far more than I do her. But, Mrs. Barken, 1 have a lit- tle boy, and my husbce! has an old mother. For thelr sal=s, as well as my own, 1 must silence gossip. Can you tell me any better method with most people than the one I am tak- ing? It doesn't deceive you, of course, but isn't it really the best, after all?" Bhe looked at me steadity for a long minute. Mrs. Barker Apologizes “It isn’t often I'm mistaken in my Judgment,” she sald, and I thought Wwhimsically of Disko Troop, “and when I am I'm ready to acknowl- cdge it. I knew you weren't the fool unsuspecting baby you seemed, but 1 I wasted thought maybe you were trying to gloss over this because you had been cutting up some caper of your own that you wanted your nusband to overlook,"” I could repress nelther a wrathful start nor the flaming of my cheeks at this Interpretation of my coming to the rescue of Dicky and Claire IPoster. “You needn't be disturbed,” Mrs. Barker sald coolly. “I just told you I knew I was mistaken. 1 belleve what you have just told me, and I agree Wwith you that you're taking the best course, And I'll help you all T can, which, T guess, will be by keeping out of your way as much as possible. I'm free to tell you that I don't cotton much to either your husband or Miss Foster, and the less I see of them the less apt I'll be to say thinges. “That will be perfectly all right,” 1 answered, glad, indeed, to have found her so tractable, “But may I ask you to set a place for Miss Foster at the table? She will have supper with us. “Going to exhibit her, are you?" Mrs. Barker gave a short, unpleasant little lafigh, then turned to me with contrition written on her face. “Excuse me,” she ‘sald awkwardly, and.I guessed that she was not much used to asking pardon of anyone. “I'm not usually so bad-mannered, but the idea of your treating that hussy as though she were something way up in G seems awful funny and strange to me.” “But Mrs. Barker,” I pleaded, with an honest effort to modify the wom. an's patent prejudice. “You are wrong about her. Bhe is simply a head- strong and indiscreet girl. She is not in the least in love with my husband, and she has not hurt me except by embarrassing me with this publicity. And we must remember that she fs young." “She's old enough to know better,"” Mrs. Barker returned uncompromis- ingly. ‘“But I'll keep my mouth shut and let her get away in peace, ang T'll help you all I can.” SLEEPY-TIME TALES MR.

THE WOMAN A MAN LOVES, BEGIN HERE TODAY The life of KATE WARD had been filled with tragedy, but mow she thought the climax reached. In girlhood she had quarreled with her mother and then fled from her home to the great city, where she met, loved -and married DAN WARD. Now he was dead and she had returned to find that he mother also had dled and that hor father, old JUSTIN PARSONS, needed her care. This was sad_enough, but then came CHINATOWN ALICE, with her little baby, to announce to Kate that Dan Ward, the dead husband, was the father of Allee's child, Tn her sleep that night, Kate woke with the conviction that a volce had been trying to tell her about an old trunk. GO ON WITH THE STORY Justin - glanced anxiously at daughter during breakfast. Her face bore evidence of the night she had spent. Old Parsons knew that all was not going well. He said noth- ing, however. He was one of those 1are people who instinctively know when silence is truly golden, At length Kate, herself, talk. “Father,” she said, “do you know anything about a trunk-—or has any- thing ever happened in the family which involved a trunk?” “No, child,” mild surprise in tone. “Have we ever lost a trunk—or have we one stored away somewhere 2" “Katie, girl, your old father has done so little traveling in his life that he never had need for more than a carpet bag! Your mother and I never owned a trunk in our lives!" The thing passed without a smile. Kate's heart was too heavy for smil- ing. Her brain was busy on things of the past. She was turning over the matter of Chinatown Alice and Dor- othy and Dan's feeling for them. “After all—why should he Thave ecared more for me?” Kate was think- ing aloud. Jistin caught thought. “He would have cared more for you, Katle, just as naturally as flowers turn| toward the sun “You are the kind of woman men love. You're not the kind they flirt with, not the kind with whom they make loud carousal and who then his began to his the train of her CHRISTMAS 5 GIFT SUGGESTIONS FOR HER FOR HIM FOR THE KIDDIES On Today’s Want Ad Page Classifications 65 A-B-C-D was || “FATHER, DO YOU KNOW ANY- THING ABOUT A TRUNK?" 4ink, nameles, into oblivion. “You are the kind of woman man wants to be a daughter to mother and mother to his children. “There are women and—there are women,” Justin was reminiscent, “there are chatter boxes who at even- tide torment you with detalls of a day's shopping or the iliness of some detested relative, there are those who never find a circumstance or condi- tion quite as they want it and who insist upon mouthing the thing over. “And then, Katie,” slowly, “there are those like yourself, who form, un- knowingly, a golden band which spans the world of men-—the women of the quiet heart—women who can accept their disappointments in silence and rise above them, women who under- Istand the need of sllence by men who {would be great. “The restful woman, earth's riot, “1s eloquently quiet; |"Knowing that silence being dull “But like the sunlight, beautiful— “That's the woman who holds_ not lonly man's love, Katie, but the love of every living ecreature—dogs and birds and children and—men.

Now, there was only one slight drawback about his singing for Be- linde Bunny-—or for anybody else. Jimmy Rabbit didn't know how to sing. And as soon as he recalled that 'act he looked very gum, DBut s he cried, "I'll take singing lessons Jimmy Rabbit generally found a way out of every difficulty. This was the reason why he went to old Mr, Crow and asked him for the name of a good singing teacher, “That's casy,” Mr. Crow told him. “I can tell you without the slightest trouble, The name of the best sing- ing teachar in Pleasant Valley—you want the best, don't you?" “Yes!" “Ha! I thought s gentleman wisel —it's Mr, Crow Jimmy Rabbit was greatly sur- prised. He had had no idea that Mr. Crow was a singing teacher. And he told Mr. Crow so, too. “It's true,” Mr. Crow admitted, “that I am not teaching here at pres- ent. I don't teach because there are sald the old 'Well-—ha! hum! L " DAILY FASHION BERVICE, ST [EVERY BABY LOVES THEM | no good pupils,. When I teach, 1 want a pupil who knows nothing at all about singing. A good many folks here in the valley think they can sing. i ‘He began the most doleful, mournful I song that Jimmy Rabbit had ever heard. If I undertook to teach ‘em the right way, I'd have to unteach 'em every- thing they thought they knew, first. But with you it would be easy. You don't know anything at all.” ] “About singing,” Jimmy Rabbit added. Mr. Crow nodded. And then he said, “When do you want your first lesson?" “Now!" Jiemy cried. “Good!” Mr. Crow exclaimed. “Now listen closely. I'm going to teach you a song. I'll sing a song. And when I've finished it you must try to sing’ it just as I did.” He began. He. began _the most doleful, mournful song that Jimmy Rabbit had ever heard. “Btop!” Jimmy interrupted. “I don't want to learn that song. 1 want to learn something gay and pretty.” “Ah!” Mr. Crow replied. "I knew you were a greenhorn—where sing- Ing's concerned. Please don’t stop me again. I must teach you by my method. I always teach the sad songs first."” Jimmy Rabbit looked a bit foolish, as he listened whife Mr. Crow began his song again and droned through it. “Now you try it!” said Mr. Crow, looking much pleased with himself. So Jimmy Rabbit started to sing Mr. Crow's song. He made the strangest sounds. Nobody would have known the song for the same one that Mr. Crow had sung. It sounded even sadder and more dismal than it had from Mr. Crow's throat. ' But the old gentleman seemed very much pleased. He kept nodding his head and beat- ing time with one of his wings. “That's fine!” he declared when Jimmy Rabbit had finished. “I dare say there’s not another person in Pleasant Valley who could sing that song the way you did.” . Well, Jimmy Rabbit couldn’t help being flattered. *“Can’t you teach me a merry song now?"” he inquired. “Now, why do you want to learn a merry one?” Mr. Crow asked him, “1 want to give a certain person a serenade,” Jimmy explained. “I knew you were {gnorant—about singing,” said Mr. Crow with anoth- er nod of his black head. “A merry song's no good for a screnade. It's sure to wake folks up so that they can't get to sleep agaln. The best kind for that purpose is a sad song— and the sadder the better. Then there's some chance that folks will feel so bad they'll weep themselves to sleep, after hearing it.” Now, all this scemed a bit strange to Jimmy Rabbit. But he remember- ed that he was a greenhorn. And Mr. Crow seemed to know everything there was to know—about music. “Well, then,” sald Jimmy. “Please teach me the best song for a seren- ade that you can think of.” “That's just what I've done,” Mr. Crow informed him. “If you want to learn another, come back tomorrow.” (Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)
