MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New Phase of [y ot 2R REVELATIONS OF A WIFE What Girace Draper Threatened When She Discovered Katherine \Vas in the Next Room ‘If you weren't so cross,” Linda whined childishly, "I could tell you a lot mere about that nurse,” Grace Draper eyed her keonly. “I'm nat cross, you little fool,” she sald indulgently, "Go ahead and spill all the gossip you've got in your sys- tem." “Well, in the first place she isn't a prisoner, like this one”~-ghe jerked a contemptuous hand toward me. “She's here to take care of the sick man, and she's allowed to go through the halls most times, and down to the kitchen| at certain hours. And the man is| somebody's white-haired hoy all right, The Prince himgelf came to see him last night.,"” “The devil bhe did !" Grace Draper ejaculated. “Now, what aoes that mean " 1 Madge Pleads For Katherine, She strode up and down the room for a few seconds, evidently ponder- ing Linda's revelation. “I don’t like the idea of the nurse,' | she said at last. “The man is prob- ably one of us, 1 wonder if she is, What does she look like?" | “She ain't a bad-looking dame,” Linda said judicially. *“A bit smaller| than this one, with brown hair and| brown ecyes, and little bits of hands.”| } Without warning, Grace Draper whirled and fixed her eyes upon my face. In my tense interest in Linda's| description of Katherine Rickett I had forgotten Lilllan's first command- | ment of a “‘poker face,” and I saw,| too late, that Grace Draper, her merh- | ory challenged by Linda’s description, | had discovered my intense interest in Linda’s description. “So !"" she said after a second's de- liberation, “I think I'll get a lamp at this nurse.” She hurried out of the room while 1 sat sick with terror, and when she came back a few minutes later, her body was quivering with rage. ! "I though so," she said, towering above me. “She's your friend, and she's been planted in this job. Well, there’'s one comfort ! Neither she nor you will ever get out of here to spill anything.” For Katherine I did what I wouli have scorned to do for myself: “She stood by vou once,” I remind ed her, “for weeks—brought you back from death itself—" “I'd Start the Third Degree—' A sneering little laugh interrupted me. “You'll probably admit yourself that she might have heen in better ‘business,” she said, and there was no hint of any seftening in her tone, “Nay, nay, little one,” she went on mockingly, “don't defude yourseif. T haven’t a hundredth cubic inch of soft feeling left in my system for any body, let alone any friend of yours." “I have no delusions concerning you,” 1 answered with a steady voice, “nor would I have asked any favor for myself." Ehe laughed again, and there was something. in her laughter far more sinister than imprecations. +“Which shows you have a lingering remnant of, common sense,” ghe com- mented, then turned to Linda. “You'll probably have this baby on ‘your hands till tomorrow, Linda,” she sald. “I'll relieve you some time in the night so you can get some sieep, and ¥l Jook in on you once in awhile.

SHAPLEIGH | Of Columbia University | There comes a time, perhaps in | April or May, or in some parts of the {country December and January, when the housewife in buying supplies Is gorely tempted to buy, what seems to her, unwisely and possibly extrav- jagantiy. There are vegetables and | fruits which are a little out of seasgon, and she longs to purchase a delicacy {for the family. ‘There i, T think, a Jjustification for such expenditure at times, and the wise woman will buy | “pleasure giving” foods, and balance ! her budget by having a cheaper cut |of meat or a less expensive vegetable |another day. If during the week a meal or two contain a surprise--a favorite dessert, or o cake or pie, an 'unusual salad, or a choice cut of | meat, the housewife can keep her family satisfied and happy. It is the deadly menatony of food, no matter | how good it may be, that we cannot | stand without fussing. Sometimes the color of strawberries |are as appealing as the flavor. Who ;cannm he moved by the combination of strawberries,, sugar, butter, hot In combination blscuits and cream? it is the “old-fashioned” strawberry shortcake which rome consider the only “rcal” one. Others are tquglly pleased with a cake filed with berries, |and white on top, with beaten eream. For breakfast or Junch on a warm spring day is there any dish more inviting than brolled shad roe on & bed of watercress? Or some days there will be mush. rooms in the market, cheap and good. :l In i 2 i | ! " i .
