MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Addle Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Way Olaire Foster Managed* Things After the first inveluntary betrayal of surprise at Claire Foster's rude. ness, which the girl .did not see, Digky played up beatutifully te her commands concerning the dinner whieh he had proposed having' sent in, and upen which she had given me uo time to comment. “Yes, mademoiselle,” he murmured, flinging an imaginary napkin over his arm and crossing the roem to stand at attention, walter-fashion, beside her, “1 think mademoiselle mentioned broiled fowl and pepperiess bouilion, Has she any other commands?" She gave him a roguish push, “Get away with you, tiil 1 think !" she cried, “You're worse than & bumble-bee, t me see. . She put her forefinger to her fore- head, and then after half a minutes consideration she glanced up at him coquettishly, “Hors d'oeuvres” she said, "Oh, les of ‘em. Especlally those darl- litle cookie-shaped things with caviar, and those anchovy strips, Then o cream of celery soup, but be sure it lsn't too thick—if you go to a good place they ought to do it well—brolled chicken or squab, with French frieds, asparagus tips with drawn butter, a salad of endive, tomato and green pepper, an ice, moulded, some cam- embert and coffee.” Dicky Takes Claire’s Order, Dicky carefully wrote it all down in the most approved walter fashion, and I wondered if he were mentally reckoning as I was, the probable cost of the dinner she had ordered, served, he adroitly had stipulated from a a “good place.” When he had fin- ished he bowed low. “Is that all mademoisclle wishes?" he asked guilelssly. “[ think that will hold me for a few minute: she retorted, ' “How about you, Madge? Does that go double for you, or is there something else you'd rather e?” Her manner was s0 insolent in its assumption that she was the one whose wishes were most to be consid- ered, and I was only an afterthought, that for a flaming second 1 could not answer her. I shall always be proud of the fact that I was able to pull myself together and speak in care- fully nenchaiant tenes. “It certainly goes double, selected my own faveorites" “It Certainly Goes Double," The sense of economy which my Puritan ancestry planted in me had urged me to make my own erder a much simpler one, I knew that nothing could so offend Dicky as'gueh & procedure, bi the necessity for duplicating the “expensive order did not make my feelings any kindlier toward the girl, ‘m the original little waiters' she said, “One of 'em told me once: ‘Mademoiselle of a cers tainty is of so mueh something or other—~French for cat's cream, 1 sup. pose—in a dinner order’ And I've had other people tell me the same thing in less picturesque language, But what are you walting for, old a #hg turped her fine eyes on Dicky, I you realize that I'm starving to death? Haven't you enough iron men in your jeans tc kiek in for the grub? Spill it quick if that's what you want, for I'm well heeted,” Now, the absolutely unpardonable social affront In Dicky's eyes, as in many men's, is the assumption that he does not carry around with him enough cash to insure any woman o* his_acquaintance anything in , the wa¥y of food entertainment her caprice may Tancy. So at Claire Foster's audacious little speech I shot a quick, startled glance at him, and caught the involuntary angry frown, which, however, he managed to banish before Claire, apparently absorbed in the contemplation of her own cleverness, looked at him, “Don’t werry, little one,” he ad- jured her laughingly. “My pockets aré weighty with coin and my bill- fold is heavy with yellow.backs. Ana you shall have your Qeart's—I mean your tummy's—desi s fast as I can speed up a restaurant head wait- er. Anything you want, Madge, in the line of supplies for breakfast? There are some good shops around here, ai I might as well order the stuff now.” “Is this what you call speeding Claire asked fironically. “Waiting while Madge makes up a grocery list? What's the big idea, anyway?"

Kate is much perturbed. A fow evenings later Kate and her father Bnd the unconsclous victim of an auto Ccrash mear their home and carry him In, Recovering, he gives his name as JAMES LATHAM and woos Kate. She fond of him, yet remembers Dan and does mot know what to say. Then it de- Velops that Latham knew Dan. He tel Kate of a trunk in an old fishing sha Dan owned, which, he thinks, would throw a light on his past. Then comes a letter from Alice, begging Kate's ald. Accompanied by Latham, she visits the girl's home but she is mot there. A wom- an, however, tells her something of Alice's Mfe. Kate rejoins Latham, waiting in Bis car.

Perhaps it isn’'t so much muyselt or Alice's self which put el r of us where we are, the thought - tinued; it may be just circumstanCes with which we came in touch at vari- ous times. % She marveled at Alice’s willingness to share her little worldly spoil with another woman. And she wondered who the man had been, the one who stood out in Alice's life so distinctly that, in spite of her reticence, her friend had sensed the affair. Could it be possible that he was the man with whom she had seen Alice? Could the slim, slouching fig- ure she saw bending toward Alice, as he entered the hotel, be the-man for whow the girl cared so much? And, if he was, what of Dan? What place had Dan occupied in the girl’s lite? Kate found some comfort {in the thought that Alice’s chief interest had been in some other man. Yet, strange- ly, her vanity was hurt that, since she believed Dan had been interested in Alice, the girl had not given him her first and greatest affection. She was jealzus of him, but quite as jealous £4r him! Like all women, she wantg' ‘her man to be the ‘most attractive’ to other women, yet she wanted him to be very apparently her IVERTROUBLE Oul! pains in the back, often under the shoulder blades, poor digestion, beartburn, flatulency, sour risings, pain or uneasiness after eating, yellow skin, mean liver trouble—and you should take correct all tendency to liver v relieve the most stubborn _cases, and give strength and tone to liver, stomach asd bowels.

Scheack & Son, Philadelphis | " “HOW DO YOU GET IN?" “You've gone away from me again into one of those dream worlds which you create so easily,” James Latham's voice aroused her. “Yes,” pensively. They were winding around a bend in the road which followed the river bank. A charming little shack, part- ly logs, partly rough stone, was vis- ible. “Your estate,” James Latham smiled, and waved toward the struc- ture. “Is that the fishing shack?” Kate ‘was eager. “That's it As the car came to a halt skipped out and up the path. “How do you get in?" she called over her shoulder. she (To Be Continued).

It was bad enough when only one was up there. But when young Jimmy Rabbit, hoping to knock the slipper down, hurled the second one at it, and the second one stayed up in the| tree too, that was worse. “Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" Mr. Rabbit kept repeating. ‘“Whatever shall I do now?” He was so wupset that he dashed to the foot of the tree and| actually tried to climb it. | Unhappily, Mr. Rabbit's claws were not made for climbing. His claws/ were neither sharp enough nor curved enough. He could only leap a little way up the trunk of the tree, scratch at its bark for an instant, and then fall back into the snow. . “Don't! Don't)” His wife begged him. “Do calm yourself, Mr. Rabbit! You'll enly make yourself L™ “ want my slippers.

Jimmy answered. “Then you won't care about getting them out of the tree, hecause they won't be yours. Give them to Uncle lsaae Bunny. He al- ways nted to wear them when he was visiting us. “That's an idea,” sald Mrs, Rabbit to her husband, “I don't think much of it" Rabbit grunted, “Well, it's an idea, anyhow," she insisted, “You might thank Jimmy for it, I think." But Mr. Rabbit was terribly stub. | born, “I shan't,” he declared. “The next thing I know, you'll be wanting me to thank him for throwing the second slipper up there where 1 can't get it." “Well, well! Come home, anyhow,” she urged Mr, Rabbll, She was afraid | Mr, | ‘Whats the difficulty?” somebody asked boarsely he might harm himself in his desper-| ate efforts to climb the slippery elm tree. “It's lunch time,” she added. “I'm going to have my luncheon right here under this tree,” Mr. Rab- bit informed her. “Where are you goifig to get any- thing to eat?" she inquired. “You're going to bring my lunch- eon to me,” Mr. Rabbit explained. Mrs. Rabbit had a hundred and one ‘objections to that plan. She sfi.‘rlod to tell what they were, when rolce above their heads made them look up quickly. “What's the difficulty?” somebody asked hoarsely. They saw old Mr. down at them. “My slippers!” Mr. Rabbit bawled. “They’re up there in the tree. I can't reach them. Toss them down here, won't you?" “Ha! Ha! I'll do what's right, of course,” sald old :Mr. Crow. He dropped down from one branch to another until he reached the lower limbs where the slippers hung. And then he peeped at them closely. “How do I know they belong to| you?” he asked in’ his husky voice. “What size do you wear?” Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit gave each oth- er an uneasy glance. They saw that they were going to have trouble with old Mr. Crow, 3 M (Copyright, 1922, by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.) Crow staring Marcus Show Here Next Week Regarded as Best Tonight is the final performance of the @hecker Girls in their musical comedy triumph and beginning Mon- day the Marcus Show of 1923 will be here for a week, opening with the “O You Baby” comedy farce. For to- morrow night the Lyceum presents two big time movies, Betty Compson in “Ladies Must Live” and “Appear- ances,” a society drama. For Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday Bebe Daniels in "The Speed Girl” will be the movie attraction. p The Marcus show claims distinc- tion as the largest touring organiza- tion and no other company contains samples of so many divers styles of entertainment. In the many scenes required for the unfolding of the musical comedy, the company runs the gamut from travisty to grand opera. It lacks only & plot and no pretense is made)thn‘ there is one, the play deriving it8 strength from its clean comedy and clever lines and ac- | tion. Marcus himselt claims to have spent a small fortune in costumes alone and the lingerie exhibit should have an especial appeal to the fair sex. Here are shown a score of recent Paris importations displayed on at- tractive models. The exhibit ranges from lace robes.de nuit to gauzy un- dies that defy description. The in- genue is especially charming, both as to stage personality and clothes, while the comedian,is a world beater, presenting the finest brand of comedy. The musical numbers are exceptional- ly good and the chorus is both come- ly and capable, there being 30 in the company. For the past few weeks the Marcus show has been playing various houses in this state, some of them on the Poli circuit. Advance reports from Bridgeport, Waterbury and Meriden indicate that this is ac- tually a show that will live up to its reputation in every respect.
