’ Adelo Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Scemingly Simple Advice Lillian Gave Madge I tried to conceal the shiver which Lilllan’s words sent over me. But the 4 Sinister possibilities for my father and the rest of us at which she had hinted were too much for me, and it was almost half a minute before I ‘was able to answer her. “You mean—torture?" I whispered. She nodded. grimly. “I mean just exactly that, No, I'm not crazy, although ten years ago if 1 had hinted at anything so melo- dramatic you would have been justi- fled in calling me so. But remember civilization has slipped back a thous- and years in some respects in the last| ten, and there's nothing too outrage- ous or tantastic to be possible to a certain type of criminal mind—which isn't always confined to the ranks ot the criminals,” she finished, with a cynical little laugh, “Don’t look so white, she went on, “Remember, this isn’t the probability, it's only the remote possibility. what will happen if they get hold of any of us, but they have to catch us before they cook us, and we're fully forewarned, very respectably fore- armed—and—I'm conceited enough to thing that brain for brain, we out- point them. "The chances are 100 to 1 against their getting their hands on any one of us, but the one chance is what we must guard against. So take no risks, remember, after I am gone. I'll keep an eye on you while I'm here."” “I will do whatever you wish—you know that—" I faltered, “I know it.” She put her hand on my shoulder, with a comforting, com- radely touch. *“Have you seen Tom Chester yet?"” “A Case of Puppy Love.” The query was an abrupt one, and 1 guessed - that she had put it more to divert my mind from the sinister pic- ture she had just been drawing than ’bccauac she cared for any answer to t. “No,'I haven't,” I replied, “I asked Father ‘about him, and he said Mr. Chester had been very restless today. 1 thought it would be better to wait.” Lillian looked thoughtful. “It's too late now, of course,” she said. “But you'd better plan to go in to see him ‘the first thing tomor- row morning. The poor lad's just sick .enough to have worried a lot about you, Your father, with the early Victorlan attitude which you in- variably find in a former man of the world ,appears to take the ground that riobody of the male persausion save himself and Dicky has any right to express any concern over you. But I‘ have, a sneaking pity for the poor lad. He has as bad a case of puppy love as I ever saw in a youth of his Years and discretion.’ . i Madge is 1. While, pf eourse;-he’ll never annoy g)u—-h}l'n theiworship-of-a-star at- titude,”'she went on, “yet you'll have to squelch him eventually.. But' just now he's sick and so upset and rest- less that his convalescence . is. being sériously delayed. He needs a glimpse of his divinity, and a few kind yet judicious words. So ‘let me know when you're ready, and I'll call on him with you." ¥ “Whenever you think best. 1 found myself saying, mechanically, al- though my mental reaction to her as- tonishing words was anything but stereotyped. % I had seen—being a woman with average perceptions—that young Tom Chester was more than ordinarily in- terested in me, but to have Lillian put it so baldly into words, startled me. I had sense enough to perceive, however, that she regarded his emo- tions in much the same light as she would an attack of measles or chicken-pox for Marion. She would humor the child while she was ill dand reserve all necessary discipline until she was well again. . “All right, I'll be in after break- fast,” she said cheerily. ['Now, get to bed. You need a good night's sleep about as badly as any one I Know. Good night.” “Good night. TI'll be all right in the morning.” I called after her, but I boasted without result. The next morning I could not lift my head from my pillow, because of an attack of my old enemy, neuralgic headache.

But she complained that it was such a long walk in the sunshine, between the pond and the farmyard, that her dip in the water did her little good. She was so warm when she reached the shade of the maple trees near the warns that she felt like turning right. around and marching back to the pond. 'fSunbonuu are very fashionabls this summerx Old Spot went on. “I know what you ought to do,” said old dog Spot, when Grandma Goose was telling him how she felt the heat. ‘“You ought to wear a sun- bonnet.” “I'd certainly like to,” sHe an- swered. “But I can't. And there's a geod reason why.” “I'm sure a sunbonnet would be very becoming to you,” the old dog remarked T “No doubt! No doubt! But I'm not thinking how a sunbonnet would look.” ; “Sunbonnets are very this summer,” old Spot fashionable went on. Several times each day Grand-| “Johnnle. Green's movher wore onel this very morning when she went to the garden to pick ‘some peas for dinner, And Aunt /Polly Woodchuck, who lives under the hill, had one on yesterday when 1 ¢nased her home from the clover patch.” “Oh! 1 dare say punbonnets are fashionable enough,” sald Grandma Goose. “The trouble is, I don't dare to wear one." f “Why not?" old dog 8pot inquired. “My famlly is too big. I have 12 goslings," Grandma Goose replied, |” “I.don't see why a blg family should prevent you're belng comfort- able,” Spot objected. ‘‘You ought to wear a sunbonnet on your children’s account as much as your own. You must keep well, You dont' want to get a sunstroke, do you?" * “You don't understand,” Grandma Goose told him, 'With a sunbonnet on my head, I coildn't take good care of my children, Dareheaded, I can see what's golng on all around, 1t that awful Miss Kitty Cat coizes prowling after my goslings, I know it. If a hawk cemes salling far above the farm, I can see him. No! my head with a sunbonnet. I could see only what was right ‘in front of my eyes," [} “Just let me think a moment" mused old dog 8pot. ‘‘There must be !some way out of that diffioulty. . . .

Sorvice Ing. Letter from Mary Alden Prescott to Her Son, John Alden Prescott. My Dear Son: I confess I had the greatest pang of my life when I read the enclosed clipping - announcing your coming marriage to the daughter of some family totally unknown to me. I had always dreamed that my son would be the first to confide to his mother when he found a girl that he would like to marry. It had been one of my illusions that you would bring the girl to me, your mother, befere you even asked the momen- tous question. You might have your impulsive choice confirmed by the mature judgment of the mother who has your best interests at heart. The enclosed clipping was sent to me by dear Priscilla Bradford, who ' is visiting your third cousin, Mary Alden, in Sharon. Priscilla writes that your fiancee, Miss Hamilton, belongs to what is called the smart set of Sharon. She describes them as ‘“a little coterle ‘of people who all have a good deal of money which in most cases niust make up for a lack of birth an1l breeding.” . She did not say that the Hamil- tons are one of these “cases” and I cannot bring myself to think - that they are, for surely a lineal de- scendant of John Alden could not select a wife from those who by ac- cident of money only haye become a part of that more or less spurious class we call American aristocracy. I am grievpusly jurt, John, that you have scen fit to let your mother become aware of <his momentous event in your life through anbther. Surely, after you, I am the one most interested. Priscilla sald in her letter that you probably had written me, for, ever since Leslle (What a queer name!) Hamilton (Is she a descendant of that illegitimate -Alexander Hamil- ton who fought a duel with Aaron Burr?) arrived home, there has been nothing in the society columns of the newspapers except accounts of the parties that have been given for her, and the claborate trousseau she is preparing. She even sent me a clipping which saild that Miss Leslie had purchased a pightdress which was the replica of the wedding nightdress of a recent royal bride. 1 cannot bring myself to send that to a man, even if that man be my Jon. I hope that Miss Hamilton's father has properly avenged this insult to his daughter ere this, upon the editor of this terrible newspaper. John, up to this time, the women of your family have always prided themselves that their names have appeared in the newspapers only three times, and then only with a qdignified reticence—once. when they were born, once when they were married, and once when they were i buried. I cannot get used to this blatant notoriety with . which the modern young Woman rushes into print. It seems to go with the paint and powder and vulgar dressing which is affected by the modern ' miss. I was always in hope that .when the time came for you to choose a wife, John, your choice would fall upon dear Priscilla Bradford. She has all the characteristics that go to make up a good wife. You have known her since you were children and she would supply that stability of character that I am _ serlously afraid you lack. But, alas, mothers are not consult- ed nowadays. I have known very lit- tle about' you since you entered business at Albany I expect I am old-fashivned, and out-of-date in both principles and ideas, but at least, John, I deserve some consid- eration from you, for I am your MOTHER. Night Wire from John to His Mother. Forgive me, mother dear, for not writing before, but I wanted to send you full particulars when I wrote and I have been 80 busy that I did not seem to find the time for a long letter. = Letter is now in the mails. Do not let the insinuations. of that narrow-minded Priscllla Bradford prejudice you against the ' sweetest girl in all the world. The paragraphs Priscilla sent you were just bits of the modern newspaper sensational- ism. Leslie is probably the most popular girl in Sharon and as such every movement of her adorable eye- lashes would be considered news at this time. Rest assured, mother \dear, I would not have married Priscilla had she been the last wom- an on earth. I know I am shock- ing you with this telegram, but I incensed at Priscilla Bradfor and even a little annoyed at you, my dear mother, that you could not understand the animus of her com. l Chiffon and Lace Are Rege at Palm Beach — — Egyptian fashions, which have been sharing popularity wvith those from Persia and Ukrania, will take the lead now, King Tutankhamen deserves all the credit 'What matter that he's been dead some thousands of years!

Another way is to place in the bot- tom of the glass half a preserved peach, having the hollow side up, fill the glass with the cream and gar- nish with cream and pistachio nuts. ——— CKSTAGE | David Mathewson, leader of- orchestra at Fox's theater has been confined to his home with illness for the past few days.

The comedy was written by George 8. Kaufman and Marc Con- uelly, authors of “Dulcy” and “Mer- ton of the Movies” the latter at pres- ent one.of New York's most sensa- tional suctesses. “To the Ladies” satirizes a number of things and among - them business: efficiency and the boredom of the set after-dinner speech. Miss ‘Hayes as “Elsie’” has to act as the backer, prompter ' and balance wheel of a young and penni- less husband, who is trying desper- ately to get ahead in business and !1ift the household out of the purlieus of debt. Another prominent member of the cast is Isabel Irving, herself a well known star on Broadway. Other New York favorites in the company coming to Bristol are Carl Anthony, J. Warren Lyons, Louis Harrison and William Seymour. “To the Ladies” had the respectable run of six months in New York last season. One's refinement and culture are evidenced by the gifts one selects, It's not necessary that a gift for any casion should be costly. But it should be carefully chosen so that it will be both suifable and pleasing.

Justin and Dorothy had gone to the flelds for the morning, the latter to watch while Justin pulled the run- ners out of the strawberry bed and loosened the earth around the plants, preparatory to the winter season. Kate was alone. “You told me to come late in the afternoon,” Kate recognized James latham's voice as she neared the | door, “'but the day has been dragging too slowly. I had to come!"” Kate opened the door. “I'm glad you did,” she said. “And what does that mean, Lady Fair?” his voice was vibrant, “that you do love me?” It hurt Kate to watch ‘the eager young face, tanned and toned with color. “Lady Fair?" ingly. “I can't—Jimmy:. wrong—all wrong." o “I might have known,” any bitterness. “You don’t mean that, Jimmy.
