NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1922. MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison’ s New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Way Madge Found Rest So Far As Claire Is Concerned It I had needed proof of Claire Foster's essential indifference to Dicky, I was given an abundance of it when within ten minutes of our going to bed, her reguinr and decp breathing told me that ghe had gone to sleep as pearafully as n kittan, 1 knew, of course, that she was ex- hausted with the emotional strain of the preceding hours, but 1 knew, also, that no exhaustion would have per- mitted sleep to come to her so sud- denly if her affections had been in- volved, She is not the type of girl to tuke things lightly. Under her apparent hardness, her metallis superficiality, I had found a wirm, ingenucus heart, And T realized that onca she was ccr- tain of my continned presence in the room with her she had relaxed, had laid down the bristling armor which she had kept between herself and the captious speculations of those sur- rounding her, and had found the rest she so sorely needed. But I could not find sleep s0 eas- ily, I forced myself to lle quietly, for fear that restless movement might awaken the girl on the couch across the room, while over me went wave after wave of anger at Dicky, fear that he was no longer mine for either anger or approbation, longing for him, and an agonized, remorseful question- ing as to my share of the blame in the rift that had come between us. Happy, indeed, should be the wife who never has had such a vigil. In the old Scriptural phrase she should count herself “blessed among women'" {4t she never has had occasion to spend the silent hours of the night in tor. turing introspection and retrospection such as came to me in that mountain ‘bedroom. A Sleepless Night At first I kept looking at the rad- fumluminous hands of my wrist-watch to time the passing minutes. But when I found that what seemed to me at least an hour of waiting was reg- {stered on the watch as only seven- teen minutes, I determinead to look at it no more. But I could not escape the striking of a clock in another part of the building, not strident, in- deed soft-toned, but clearly audible in the deep silence which gave the hours and half hours. I noted every one until four strokes told me it was that hour in the morn- ing. Then I must have dozed off from sheer exhaustion, for when I opened my eyes again the darknesy had gone and I saw that it was the time in the morning just before the sun comes up, when everything seems most bleak. I shivered beneath the coverings, and realized that the room had grown cold. - On the foot of my bed was a hedvy comforter given me by Mrs. ker for extra cold, and .another 1 lay at the foot of Claire I'oster's bed. 1 slipped out of bed, crossed to hel and pulled the quilt up over her with- out waking her. Then I dived into my own bed again, shivering violently, until the extra warmth afforded by the added quite restored physical comfort to me, But it could not restore sleep to my eyes, 1 realized that I was "up for all day," realized, also, that action of some sort was imperative for me 1 would never be able to carry my un- provide my jangled nerves with some outlet, “Here's a Telegram—'" I am a mountain devotee. I do not know that any of my ancestors were mountain-bred, but I am sure that somewhere in the distant past of far- mer existences I lived among moun tains and loved them dearly.” With a little thrill T realized that if I hurried I would be able to sce the sun burst out from behind them, and 1 sprang nolselessly out of bed, hurried fran- tically through my dressing, and tip- toed out into the hall. If anything could calm me and give me strength to go on, I knew that the peace or the “eternal hills" would do it. No one was astir in the front part of the house, although 1 know, of course, that the day must have begun for Mrs. Barker sometime before. I drew back the bolt of the hall door, shut it carefully behind me, and ran lightly down the path of the wind- dertaking to its conclusion if 1 did not, their way of showing that they It the tunes. And every time, when the laughter had at last died away, the Grouse Hrothers and the Woodchuck boys rose and bowed, It was their way of showing that they liked to have the audience like their music, Now, Jimmy Rabbit had come to the concert, If the truth must be told, he was no musician himself, He couldn't even sing. To be sure he had taken one einging lesson. And hls teacher had sald he was a fine pupll, But most people smiled when they heard that. His teacher was old Mr, Crow. And everybody knew he couldn't sing any more than a tur- key. 1t was no wonder, then that Jim- my Rabbit couldn't tell whether the music was good or bad, But he wanted to please the musicians. 8o Indeed, he ladfghed so hard that his neighbors around him nudged one another and ‘vhispered that they had never seen anybody enjoy a concert as much as Jimmy Rabbit. At first Jimmy Rabbit pald close at. tentian to the musicians. He watched the Grouse brothers as they puffed themselves out and beat upon their chests with thelr wings. He “looked closely at the Woodchuck boys—es- pecially the one who crossed his eyes when he whistled, But after a time his gaze wandered. He began to ing road which lay beneath the house and the dancing mountain brook. I could have seen the sunrise from the veranda of the house, but I was afraid that some other autumn and mountain lover might come out and discover me there, so I walked swift- ly up the road a few yards to a little knoll topped by a magnificent pine tree, reaching it just in time to see the sunrise I°coveted. 1 was permitted to enjoy it but a minute, however. There were quick footsteps behind me, and an old man’s voice accosted me. “Mis' Barker says you're Mis' Gra- ham,” he sald. “If you be, here's a telegram which just come over at the station for ye. 1 happened to be there, and the agent said I'd better bring it up.” SLEEPY-TIME TALES RO A B A RIGHT AND A WRONG TIME FOR EVERYTHING. The Grouse brothers and the Wood- chuck boys were giving one of their famous concerts in the back pasture. The Grouse brothers drummed and the Woodchuck brothers whistled. It was beautiful music—so everybody said. At the beginning of the concert the musicians played gay tunes, such as Money Musk, The Bumblebee in the pumpkin, and Pop Goes the Weasel. And after each one was finished the audience laughed heartily. It was 'ONE - MAN WOMAN BY ZOE BECKLEY. THE HOME OF SING LOY. BEGIN HERE TODAY KATE WARD, following her husband's death, returned to the great city to the village of her childhood to care for her widower father, JUSTIN PARSONS. To came CHINATOWN ALICE with the story that Kate's dead h ind, was the child, { DOROTHY. Later came the news that Dor- othy was seriously ill, anl Kate left home to visit the laundry of BING LOY, with whom Alice lived, to de- termine what ought to be done for the ghtid. GO ON WITH THE STORY A low, frame structure, the windows half curtained. A steamy smell of clothes and cooking. It was the laundry of Sing Loy. Somewhere in the steamy, unpleas- ant smell, Chinatown Alice could be found. Kate Ward walked past the place. And then walked back again. It took almost more courage than she had to lift the latch and swing the wooden door open. A bell tinkled as the door moved. A muffled sound from the back of the shop. The round, black sateened body of a Chinese appeared from the back and shambled along behind the counter. “Afternoon,” the blandly. “Do you have Miss—Miss—a girl named Alice here?" Kate queried, discovering suddenly that she did not even know the name of the girl she sought. “U'm?" grunted the man behind the counter. Then he spoke loudly in his native tongue. the back of the shop. Another figure appeared, slight, black sateened, con- spicuously groomed. Sing Loy's acknowledgment of Kate's presence was a very low and formal bow. He had the slim body and features of the mental type, a marvelous poise, intense dark eyes and a low, cultured voice. The two Chinese exchanged a few words, “You wish see my wife?" Sing Loy asked at length. “I wanted to see the girl who calls herself Alice,” Kate stammered. “Alleesame,” from the oriental who was moving toward the back of the shop and beckoning Kate to follow. Kate moved across a room in which there were several ironing. Then she stopped. Sing Loy was speaking. “You wait. T see.” The little man moved silently down a shadowy passage, then disappeared in a doorway. their little home father of Alice's oriental smiled | There was a movement in| J “YOU WISH TO'SEE MY WIFE?" SING LOY ASKED AT LENGTH. While she walted, Kate watched the girls at work. In silence they ro- tated between little sheet-iron-lined stove room and their ironing tables. The stove room was small. The glow of the long, low, half-open stove lit the windowless place and gave it the appearance of a large furnace, housing a dying fire. In one corner of the hot room was a pail of water. With long hooks the girls took the huge irons from the top of the stove and dashed them into the water to cool and smooth them and lessen the danger of Mr. John Smith’s best union suit arriving at his home one day with |a section of fabric scorched out. Then, holding the hand which car- ried the iron out, so the hot, heavy thing wouldn't touch their ankles, the |girls trudged back to the ironing {ables and silently set at smoothing the wrinkles out of the townspeople's fréshly washed clothing. Kate was moved with something akin to pity as she watched the girls. It wasn't the work, the weight of the fron, the heat of the place which moved her. It was the silent spirit- lessness, A movement. Kate heard a voice at her side. Suddenly she was goipg automatically along the dark passage. (To Be Continued). (Copyright, 1922, NEA Service). *You laughed! Frisky told hi: ——— e et think of othér things, such as lettuce and green peas and tender new bean shoots. By the time the concert was half over he hardly heard the music at all. He laughed, however, whenever the musicians stopped playing. He didn't want the Grouse brothers nor the Woodchuck boys, nor the audience either, to think he didn’t like the music. When the concert was half finished the musicians stopped playing their gay tunes. The first tune of the sec- ond half was a very sad one. Every Dog Had His Day was the name of it. And befote it was done a good many of the audience were sniveling, In fact almost gverybody reached for his pocket-handkerchief. But Jimmy Rabbit never noticed that. He was thinking about cab- bages. He came to his senses, how- ever, just as, the drummers and the whistlers reached the end of the piece, a peal of loud laughter. He knew the next moment, that there was something wrohg. Nobody else was laughing.. His neighbors on all sides were staring at him coldly. And somebody—he thought it was old Uncle Jerry Chuck—called “Order!” in a harsh voice. “What's the matter?” Jimmy whis- pered to Frisky Squirrel, who sat be- side him. “You laughed,” Frisky told him. “What were you laughing at? That was a sad tune.” Jimmy Rabbit felt very uncom- fortable. He saw that he had blun- dered. Indeed he soon discovered that he had broken up the concert. For the musicians refused to play any more. They said that. their feelings were hurt. Though the whole company, in- cluding Jimmy Rabbit himself, beg- ged them ' to go on, they left their seats and wouldn’'t come back. And théy didn’'t give another concert all the rest of that year. When old Mr. Crow heard what had happened-he said that it was a ity Jimmy Rabbit had stopped with nly one singing lesson. “I couldn't teach him everything in one lesson,” Mr. Crow declared. “He ought to have taken two. I took three, myself, when I was learning to sing.” (Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.) Gossip’s Corner e At the Opera One of the most gorgeous gowns yet seen at the opera was of silver bro- cade, slightly shot with black, with a single shoulder drape, and a one- sided drapery on the skirt. With it was worn Russian head-dress of dia- monds, and a fan of canary-colored ostrich. Novel Trimmings Steel-beaded. braid is used to trim some of the new spring coats of twill {and whipcord. On others are inlays of tan veldyn of half-inch width, Youthful Frock A youthful frock of soft rose taffeta has its bodice made almost entirely of dull gold' lace and has a row of me- dallions run on the straight, full skirt. Spring Blouses Batik blouses and the straight-liné duvetyn blouse, both of which have been so popular this winter, are to be carried over into spring styles: with new touches about the neck-line and sleeves. . Gogd Manners While tardiness in keeping a dinner engagement is rightly considered rude, punctuality at a luncheon s less vital. This is not to be interpreted as altowing complete latitude to a guest, but a matter of a few minutes one way or the other is not regarded as of much importance. 1In fact, many invitations are worded “please come to lunch,” without the specifica- tion of any exact time. Marriage A La Mode In China everything connected with a wedding is red--the bride's dress, the sedan chair in which she's taken he laughed when the others laughed.! For the modern woman it's not only possible but quite right——a duty in fact—to look well at ber housework. Many of them wear very attractive ~—even giddy-—dresses in the kitchen, They're simple, practical, but pretty, Colored cretonnes, black sateen trimmed with cretonne, cotton prints and figured cotton crepes are some of the materials used. Two attractive new model; are sketched. to the bridegroom, the umbrellas, the boxes containing the presents, candles, and all the hangings. The betrothal is considered so important that even if the bride or bridegroom should die, the ceremonies are performed just the same, The girl, once betrothed, is considered a widow if her flance dies| before the wedding cegemony. CUSTARD And then he burst forth with | l | BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University There is no. better simple dessert than a well-baked custard. The cups or molds should be set in a pan of hot water half way up to the molds. Bake in an oven which is not too hot; the water in the pan should not boil. The custard 1s done when the blade of a knife, run into the center, will come out without any custard clinging to it. The proportion of egg and milk may be one egg to a cup of milk, and one tablespoon of sugar to each egg. This custard is all right to eat from the dish or cup; if it is to be turned out from the mold, three eggs to one pint of milk is a correct proportion. However, more eggs may be used and as many as six eggs to a quart of milk are sometimes used. The custard may be flavored with vanilla or nutmeg; often the nutmeg is grated over the top of the custard before baking. 4 Ginger Custards 2 cups milk or 1' cup milk and 1 cup cream 1-4 cup sugar 1-4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons ginger. syrup 1-4 cup preserved ginger, cut into small pieces 3 eggs Beat eggs slightly, add remaining ingredients and strain into buttered molds. Set in a pan of water and bake until firm. Date Custards 8 eggs 1 1-2 cups milk 3 tablespoons sugar 1-2 cup dates, stoned and cut into pieces 1-4 teaspoon salt Beat eggs slightly; add remaining ingredients. Turn into buttered molds and set molds in a pan of hot water. Bake until firm. If possible, serve with cream. VOICES IN THE AIR | Thursday, December 28, 1922.
