l Adele Garrison's New Phase of ~ REVELATIONS OF A WIFE What Madge Saw On the Long Deserted Road. My small son drew back from my embrace, and looked at me with the wide-eyed adorable gaze which is his | when he wishes to establish some fact firmly in his mind, “Mama tum back today?” he de- manded, “Perhapi I answered with a hopelessly perjured feeling, “if I can find something pretty for you.” j‘non't want somefing pretty. Want oY mamma,” he returned with an ob- stinacy which thrilled me, and made my flight doubly difficult, Every sec- ond was preclous, however, if I meant #o get away, and I sent an appealing glance at Katie across his curly head. She selzed the cue promptly. “O! Ba-bee ! she shrilled in ap- parent ‘excitement.’ Lilllan declares Katie will call Junior “Ba-bee” on his wedding day. . “I see Jeem going by schicken house. I bet he going feed does leetle schickens. Let's run qveeck.” Even a mother's going away or re- turn' was not proof against that lure, Junior joyously allowed himself to be lifted out of the car to the ground, and the only glance I permitted my suddenly wet eyes showed him trot- ting across the pasture with his hand tucked confidingly in Katie's. “Mrs. Durkee, Marvin.” With fingers that trembled, but did not impede my movements, I took off the old sweater in which I had driven out of the farm gate, and quickly donned my hat, coat and heavy driv- ing'coat. Then I sent my car racing down the road, finding the first relief from the tension of the last hour in the swift rush of cold air against my face, and the sensation of flying through space which fast motoring al- ways gives me. There had been no opportunity for | me to make any plan as to my fu. ' ture movemets, when Dicky's out- rageous taunts concerning Tom Ches- ter had driven me, raging, into flight. 4 In the envelope addressed to Lillian | which I had left with Katie I | had scrawled but a few words, “Must get away. Don’t waste * time looking for me. Will get in touch with you as soon as pos- sible, and will be caretus. Madge.” In Katle's envelope there was but a single line of three words: “Mrs. Durkee, Marvin,” Bor my little frlend and former neyhbor was the only person I coula call to mind whom I could trust with the secret of my address. Garrulous, like a charming child in many ways, yek she is the most loyal person in the world, and a secret entrusted to hér is safer than the grave. Madge is Terrifiéd. T did not intend to stay withsMrs. Durker longer than the night, ‘which would be’ almost upon me at the end of my present ride, And if Kdith Fajr- fax had been a member of her house- hold I could not have avafled myselt evén of that shelter, But when I had unexpectedly met Mrs. Durkee in Hambel's grill room, she had said that Edith expected to 8O to Aunt Dora Paige's southern | home “very soon,” and later had de- finéd that time as the next day. There- fore, I felt safe in throwing myself upon the hospitality of : my little | friend, and. I meant to send:-her the address by which she could reach me, &s 'soon as I knew it myself. What I'should do when on the next morning I should leave her friendly { roof, what course I should pursue in carrying out my angry determination to ‘shut out Dicky from my future {life, I had no more jdea than had the rabbit which scurried across the road Just missing destruction, Resolutely I tried to put all such consideration aside until my journey's end, knowing that my first job was to drive my car as fast as was consis- tent with safety, and I tried to think of ‘some other, and yet not so ob- sessing as to take my mind from the wheel. The thought of Mrs. Durkee sup- plied it. With a quick awakening of interest I remembered the allusions she had made to Bess Dean, and the unhappiness. she was causing gentle Leila, Durkee. I was glad that my own emergéncy would glve me an evening in, the same house with Al- fred and Leila Durkee. MRS, COFFMAN ILL SEVEN YEARS Saved from an Operation by Lydia '+ E. Pinkham’s Vegetable ! Compound ‘I was a nervous wreck. With instincts sharpened by the memory of the catty things ‘my for- mer colleague in the Bayview Hign school had tried to do to me, I felt that 1 might perhaps find some way to thwart Bess Dean's petty meanness. I was aroused to casual interest by the approach of a car far down the road, It was the first car I had seen —I had remarked to myself how ae- serted the road was, But as it came closer toward me, I gripped my wheel in terror, Surely I was not mistaken—it was the gray llmousine which had trailed my taxi on Fifth avenue, Grandma Goose led the flock back to the farmyard, urging them all the time to hurry. She kept glancing back, too, to make sure that none of her charges stopped to find a bit of grain or a bug. “Thank goodness. you're all safe and sound!" she exclaimed, when the last of the long line had waddled through the gateway, near the bigl barn. General Gander inquired. “Don’t you know, yet, the sound of a muskrat's ta. when you hear it? “Get ashore, everybodg,and follow me ta the farmuard at onmce!™ Grandma Goose asked him severely. “1 didn't hear it this time,” said the General. “It's lucky that T am the leader of the flock, and not you,” Grandma Goose told him. ' *“No doubt ‘that muskrat saw a mink, swimming un- der water, And he was giving the alarm. But a mink would just as soon grab a young goose as a musk- rat-—and perhaps a little sooner.” General Gander backed away. He didn't like to be scolded by Grandma Goosé—especially in front of the whole flock, And later, when Grand- mp was busy with her twelve goslings, ha went about among the geese, toll- Ing them that it was monscnse to let Grandma Goose cut their swim vhort the way she had. “I don't belleve"~—sald the General ‘I don't belleve any muskrat slap- ped the water with his tail, 1 think Grandma Goose was mistaken. Be- sides, why couldn't a muskrat slap the water just by accident? Grandma Goose is an old fogy. There couldn't have been any accident at all.” Some of the geese agreed with the General, They were the silly ones, But the others declared that they were glad they had minded Grandma Goose's warning, They were the wise ones, It wasn't 'long before the General knew how each one felt. In a little while he gathered the silly geese in a group ‘behind the bars, out of Grandma Goose's sight and hearing. “I hope,” he sald to them, “you aren't going to let Grandma Goose spoil another swim for you the way she spolled this one today.” They looked at one another uneas- "What was the trouble, Grandma?” | ily. They feared Grandma Goose and the weight of her wing, They hoped the General wasn't going to ask them not to mind her orders. Well, that was exactly what the General did. “The next time Grandma Goose thinks she hears a danger signal, let her paddle ashorc as fast as she pleases,” he said. “And let those tim- id creatures who are now with her In front of the barn—Ilet them fol- low her, it they wish. But you ladies 1 stay with me! We won't leave the | water until we are ready to . . . Do you agree?"” They all said that they agreed. | They were too silly to say anything else, (Copyright, - 1923, by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.

Dearest Bee: 1 got your letter this morning. It is'sweet of you to write to me, for I surely intended to tell you about my engagement the very first one of all, but since I returned it seems to me that 1 have done nothing but try on dresses, make myself' the recipient of bridal showers, and, of course, write to Jack. Of course you understand that I want you to be maid-of-honor at my wedding to the most splendid man in all the world, Yes, Bee dear, I've met him, and, best of all, he loves me and has asked me to be his wife, You remember how many times I told you that my husband would be over six feet tall, well proportioned, with brown eyes and brown hair, a whimsical smile and dazzling white teeth. Well, Bee, darling, that is John Alden Prescott, the man I'm going to marry. When I went to Albany, 1, of course, expected my visit with Nancy would be full of the usual dances, teas, motor rides and flirta- tions, but the second day I was in- troduced to John and then it was all off as far as I was concerned. It was very strange, for I had no more idea at that time that I would be married in a month, than that I would be buried. You ask me about Karl Whitney. Poor Karl is taking it rather hard. He seems to think that, as I am marrying a comparatiyely poor man, I am not going to be happy. Of course dad might give me some money, at least my dreés allowance, but being an American father he in- sists that he shall be free of all financial responsibility the moment 1 am married. However, when you see Jack, Bee, you will know that he s worth living on bread and cheese and kisses, for I am going to show that grim old daddy of mine that I've got some of that dogged stub- borness of his in me, and I'll starve before I ask him for a cent. Mother insists upon a big wedding, and she made dad promise to buy all the bridesmaid's gowns. You'll have to come home to have yours made. You will lookJovely in a pink chiffon gown with a gray ple- ture hat and an immense bouquet of Cecil Brunner roses tied to a -hop-lll beginning married life right. herd’s crook. Each two of the other girls will be dressed in _ different shades of orchid and blue. Privately, I would rather not have so much money spent on the ceremony. I would like to keep some of it for Jack and me, and it makes me rage {more than anything else when I | think that dad doesn’t care a snap about the money, but he thinks it will do us good to economize. I'm going to begin to save for my daugh- ters the minute they are born. They shail each go to their husbands with a dot. It is perfectly terrible to go to John almost a beggar. Dad and ‘mother between them are giving me three thousand dollars, which, of course, will have to go into the house furnishings. I don't know whether John has saved any money or not. He hasn’t if he has been in the habit of sending other girls, as he did me, flowers and books, and | buying them luxurious dinners and {suppers and opera and theater seats. Come home as soon as possible, we are having the grandest time. So Sally didn’t have a wedding after all. I wanted you to tell me all about it. How do you like the man she married? Be sure and be here for the fancy dress that Karl Whit- {ney is giving me next week Tues- |day. I'm keeping my costume from everybody, even Jack, who will be here for the party, and let me tell you, Bee, I am going to change my costume three times during the eve- ning, and I'm going to have a lot of fun. I must close now, dear, because I am going to call on some very pokey friends of Jack's mother. T am des- perately afraid she is going to turn out the kind of mother-in-law the newspapers joke about. ‘Will you please wire me when you are coming because 1 have so many plans to talk over with you. Bee, dear, T am the happlest girl dear, and going to live Lovingly, LESLIE. the prince, happy ever after. Wire From Beatrice Grimshaw to Leslie Hamilton. Will be with you on Saturday night.

Brocaded or matelasse fabrics serve for the bloused top of the wrap with a soft, thick material for the bottom. The more elaborate the fabric, the simpler the trimming. Such wraps as these usually are unornamented except by rows of stitching. Ideal Easter Millinery; Here's a peep at a trio of exceed- ingly pretty spring hats.

SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University When cold meat is the main dish for luncheon or supper, macaroni may be made into a tasty salad to go with it. This dish consists of the follow- ing ingredients: Three cups of cooked macaroni; one cup of celery; one apple; one small onion, thinly sliced; one green pepper, cut into dice; one pimiento or canned red pepper; four tablespoons of oil; two tablespoons of vinegar; one tea- spoon of salt; pepper to taste; one cup of cooked salad dressing or a cup of mayonnaise, and two table- spoons of tomato catsup.
