I expressed my appreciation & help she had promised, . KATE WARD since that day when Adele Garrison's New Phase of ‘REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Way Claire Foster First Tried to Repay Madge Mrs. Barker kept her word, She earefully avolded any possible en- counter with either Dicky or Claire Yoster, and her willingness, to ald me ‘first expressed itself in meticulous at- tention to the supper table, whlch she laid for the three of us. “It will be all ready for five minutes,” she sald, when I had of the and T fol- fowed her out of her sittin room into the dining room with the assurance hugged to my soul that 1 nhoulg have no further trouble with her. you in 1 retraced my steps to the front of | the house where Dicky was standing. “Oh, Dicky !" I sald artlessly, mak- ing sure that my voice was audible on the veramla. *‘Will you join Claire and me in the dining room in five . minutes?% Mrs. Barker has a most appetizing supper ready for us.” “I'll be there with sleighbells at-| tached,” he tossed back, with appar- ent insouclance, but I, who know his every inflaction, read in his voice his distaste for anything connected with Mrs. Barker. That he would be tract- able, however, and keep his ruffled feelings to himself, I was sure, and T sped back to Claire Foster’s bedroom with the gratified feeling that the most arduous task was over. “will I Do?” Bhe had made good use of my ab- sence, I saw that as soon as I opened the door in answer to her low-toned “Come fir." I had told her to look her prettiest and smartest, and my first glance at her told me that she had obeyed me literally. She had toned down the rouge and powder which she had_ hurriedly slapped on at my first knock upon her door until no one but a very keeh. eyed woman could have told that she had given any artificial aid to the complexion which, I knew, upon most oceasions, needed none. Her olive- green cloth gown embroidered in gearlet and with pipings and narrow girdle of the same royal shade, spelled @ last word in sartorial smartness. *“Will I do?” she asked, and there was in the question no self-conscious- mness, rather a note of humility for-! elgn, indeed, Claire Foster. “I should imagine you might.” I smiled back, and then I caught sight of myself in the mirror, much the to spoiled, imperious . worse for wear because of my journey in the day.coach of the stow train, ande— womanlik —I visualized the contrast I would make In Dicky's eyes ONE - MAN WOMAN BY ZOE BECKLEY. to Claire Foster's freshness, A Quick Transformation “You haven't had a chance to freshen up since your journey,” she replied so quickly thar I wasn't sure whether or not she had seen my self- deprecatory glance, "Where is your bag?" “In the taxi' “But I have extra combs and averything right here,” she sald cap- ably, ‘“Here, let me be your mald, please.” There wao something so insistent, 80 pleading In her tone that I yielded promptly in spite of an instinctive re- pugnance I felt to accepting any fav- or at her hands. But I guessed that the girl was in a perfect agony of youthful remorse and anxlety to do anything she could for me, and 1 could not wound her as refusing her request certainly would do. Tor tlie next three minutes I sat bewildered by the haste and efficiency with which she remedied the ravages of my journey, She whisked my suit coat from my back, shook it com- pletely, and hung it upon a padded hanger, even while she tossed me a big towel with the injunction to tuck it around my neck and put my hat upon the bed. Then with quick, deft fingers she massaged my face with a cleansing cold eream, wiped it off, and duosted on a little rice powder. Then she removed the hairpins, shook out my hair, gave it a hasty but thorough brushing, and twisted it up again. She stepped off a pase, surveying me critically. “There, you are yourself again,” she said. “TLuckily your blouse is tan, 80, it doesn't show the dust as a white one would. 'And it is the duck- iest thing! Now let me play Pull- man porter and you're ready." She applied a whisk broom vigor- ously to my skirt, gave a whisk or two to the coast, and held it out for me to slip on. And then, with head critically to one side, she put on m# hat, adjusting it as carefuily as if she were a thillinery saleswoman, “Now you may look,” she said, and my glance into the mirror showed me myself almost miraculously trans- formed. I sent a thought wave of trankfulness to Lilllan for having in- sisted that I wear my best totteur suft, Without being conceited, I knew that 1 need no longer fear a contrast with Claire Foster, and tne knowl- edge, in curious feminine fashion. softened my heart toward the girl who had so quickly and aeftly aided me. “WHAT DO I OWE THEM?” BEGIN HERE TODAY There had been many disappointments In the life of she quarréled with her mother and ran away to the great city, where she met, loved and married DAN WARD, bhut the memory of Dan, now dead, had been the greatest comfort to ler when she returned home and found that her mother too had dled, and that her father, JUBTIN PARSONS, needed her care. That memory of her dead husband was shat- tered when . CHINATOWN ALICE, the girl of the slums, came to tell Kate that Dan was the fa- ther of her child, DOROTHY. Bhe asked Kate to assist in supporting the child. A few days later Kato received a letter. GO ON WITH THE STORY The envelope the passing neighbor put in Kate's hand was of cheap, glos- sy paper. The address scrawled on it . in a round,/wavering hand. Kate opened it. The ragged letters of the signature stood out—Chinatown Alice. ](n.te wondered vaguely as she tried to comprehend the meaning of the badly written words, why Alice used the whole name. She wondered if she were proud of the badge of pos- session, even such as it was. Had she really cared for Dan, could she have wanted to placard herself continually with another man's sign of owner- ship? Or did Chinatown Alice really have some sincere affection for the oriental with whom she worked and lived? And could a woman who had once cared for Dan Ward conceive any affection for one so different? Was woman's love so elastic a thing? Kate stumbled through the letter. It has half appeal, half threat. Alice was trying to press her claim. Doro- lhy was {11, she wrote, and she was sure that her life around the unsani- tary laundry was at the bottom of it. “Just imagine she is your daugh- ter—" of the whole badly written let- ter, that part of one sentence held Kate's eye. She went back to {t—and then back again. Kate Ward had neither son mnor daughter, That had been one of the disappointments, ©1f she were my child,” thought Kate, “T should want evervthing done for her that could be done—but I have nothing to do with. T have noth- ing to divide with this girl” Justin entered the room “What news, Katie—gir! “A letter from Alice, father “Say anything much?" “Dorothy is ill. “father,” Kate was speaking after eeee——— CHRISTMAS GIFT SUGGESTIONS FOR HER FOR HIM FOR THE KIDDIES On Today’s Want Ad Page Classifications 65 A-B-C-D | l THE IN A ROUND, WAVERING HAND. a long silence, “how much do you think I had ought to do for this girl and her child. How much do I owe them ?" “Everything.” In spite of Justin Parsons’ habit of slow speech the word was convineing. Justin meant it in no half-way meas- ure, “As the mother of your husband's child, you owe her nothing. “As a woman you owe her every- thing. “We make and assume our respon- sibilities ourselves, Katie, and not with the provision that our families and friends will share them. Life has no right to exact tribute where it gives nothing. But just suppose the whole worid lived by that rule of right— what a hell of a place we'd be lving, in, Katie! “Why, it's only the prople who re- fuse to be circumscribed by their own little circle of responsibility and priv- flege who make the world fit to live in. It is only the people who love enough to share the burdens of those around them; only the people who have courage enough to break every rule and precedent, when occasion de- mands it, who life the world out of deadly humdrum. “If each one of us did only what the conditions of our own life right- fully demand we do; if we never took the bit in our teeth and dared for the sake of something which didn't exact. ly invelve our own bread and butter —-we'd--stagnate.” As she went about the duties of the little houschold; as she walked out through the sun-lit orchard, Monk padding softly along, Kate consid- ered the question of Alice and - her daughter in the light which her fa- ther had put on it.

SLEEPY~TIME TALES JIMMY RABBIT SINGS JOR SOMEBODY, Jimmy Rabbit was glad he had taken his first singing lesson of old Mr, Crow, Mr, Crow had taught him a mournful ditty, which he had as- sured Jimmy was just the thing to ging under somebody's windows, for a serenade, It was somewhat late in the after- noon when Jimmy learned the song. He knew that he couldn't serenade Miss Belinda Bunny then, because the whole Bunny family would be waking up from their daytime naps and thinking about stealing down to Farmer Green's garden as soon as it hegan to grow dark, to hunt for their supper. “I'll wait until tomorrow morning," Jimmy decided. ‘“After they've come home and gone to bed I'll go to their house and sing under Belinda's win- dow, How pleased she'll be!"” And that was just what he did. He waited until he was sure the Bunny family had come home. Hiding be- hind a bush near their home, he saw them pop, one by one, through their doorway, And then, just as the sun made frightful sounds. P I ———— T peeped over the hills, he began his sad song. He made frightful sounds. And pretty soon he heard MiSs Bunny's mother speak to Miss Bunny's father. “Willlam ~ Henry!" she cried. “What's that awful noise?"” Mr. Bunny must have been very sleepy. It was some time before he looked out of ‘the door and blinked in the gray morning light. “It must have been the wind that you heard, howling,”” he told 'Mrs. Bunny, who peered ovér his shouiger. “No!” said. she, “I'm sure it was somebody in great pain.” “Then he must be feeling better,” replied Mr. Bunny in a bored voice. He was eager to get back to bed. I don’t hear him any more.” Jimmy Rabbit had stoppm{slng- irg. He didn’t want Miss Bunny's parents to discover him. . Besides, hel wasn’t serenading them. He was giv- ing theid daughter a treat; and he wished they would lie down and go to sleep again. As soon as tbav shut the door he took up his song where he had left it. But he had let out only one long wail when Miss Belinda herself stuck her head out of her window. “Pa! Ma!” she shrieked. ‘“Come here quick! Somebody must be caught in a, trap.” In a jifty Mr. and Mrs. Bunny ap- peared in the window. And. they waited there, listening, un{il Jimmy Rabbit's song ceased once more, “It sounds to me,” Mr. Bunny re- marked\ ‘“a good deal like a rusty hinge.” “Nonsense!” said his .wifd “It sounds to me as if somebody had been poisoned. Or maybe Tommy Fox has caught some small creature and is playing with him.” “That wasn't Tommy Fox’'s voice,” Mr. Bunay objected. “Of course not!"” retorted Mrs. Bunny. “But it may have been the voice of His captive.” By this*time Belinda Bunny was in tears. Jimmy Rabbit could her her sniveling. ‘And remembering what Mr. Crow had told him, he was much pleased. For Mr. Crow had told him that a good, sad song was just the thing for a serenade, because it might make a person weep himself( or her- self to sleep, instead of waking him (or her) up so that he (or she) couldn’t get another wink of sleep for hours. That was what a merry song might do. “Mr. Crow certainly knows all about singing,” Jimmy thought, as he started for home. “But Mr. and Mrs, Bunny are greenhorns. Anybody that doesn’t know a good song when he hears it ought to take a few lessons from old Mr. Crow. I'll tell Mr. Crow he must get them for pupils.” But later, when Mg Crow called upon the Bunny family and said he would' like to teach them how to sing, they couldn't help laughing right in his face. “That's a good joke," said William Henry Bunny. And Mr. Crow was so angry that he wouldn't have given them a les- son not if they had got down on their knees and begged him for one. | | (Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)
