" "“wrapping Adels Garrison's Why Madge Wondered What Was | Troubling Leila When Dicky had disclosed termination not to have “any of this melodramatic business” in his life, and had ended our chat-—which had begun with sueh charming pos-| sibilities—I sat stunned for several minutes after he had gone into the bedroom and I heard him lie down for the forty winks he had promised him self, 1 recalled the fact that hardly one minute before he had made his state- ment so emphatically to me, I had wondered when my Peter Pan would grow up. The anawer had come more swiftly than I had thought possible and with an amazing directness and definiteness which left me breathless. | ‘With the spell of Dicky's command strong upon me, I walked to the desk, | picked up the posteard, tore it once| across, and then stopped. What it was that held my hand I| do not know. Indeed, so immersed| was I in my own thoughts—striving to solve the perplexing emphasis of Dicky's command, for I regarded it as nothing less—that with the fesire| to keep my hands busy, I set about| dressing. robed in the evening frock which Dicky had extravagantly insisted on| buying for me one afternoon we had seen it in the salon of an ultrasmart coutouriere together, that Iagain be- gan to take a clear interest in my sur- roundings. “Avast There, | auickly us you can, th his de-| more Young Man !" Somehow the burnt orange char-| meuse seemed to soothe me the in-| stant T took it out of the closet—tip- toeing that while not to wake Dicky, who patently was deep in dreamlana ——and when I had donned my flesh- colored stockings and had drawn upon my feet my new black and silver brocade slippers and had slipped into that Cinderella dress, I feit in- deed as though Dicky's sweetness of the day he had hought the costume for me was acting the part of the Fairy Godmother to checkmate the| Wicked Stepmother his latest mood had played. Yet my hesitation at waking Dicky and helping him to dress—made nec- essary by my last-minute calling of| him out of sympathy for his evident| exhaustion being exorcised by slecp— kept us both rather quiet until I| slipped on my wrap. A lovely example of the costumer’'s art, my wrap har-| monized and yet ideally contrasted| with my Cinderella dress. It was a| petalled cape of black and white| chiffon with a deep fold of chinchilla| close about my lhrmi‘} which by its Juxurious daintiness| served to keep me far warmer than| its fragile appearance promised, Silently, Dicky locked the door of our little apartment while 1 waited for him at the head of the old-fash- ioned stairs. And as silently we walked down to the taxi whose pres- ence at the curb had been heralded by a special signal ring at our bell. But as we stepped out into the street another taxi whirled up and out leaped Alfred Durkee, who almost collided with Dicky as we crossed to our waiting car. ‘‘Hello, old skeesicks ! Alf ex- clajimed. * “'Lo Madge! Wow, yo knock me for the count with that “Avast, there young man !"

And as T left them chaffing each | other and heard the chauffeur of our unused car volubly thank Dicky for what I well knew was an inordinate tip, I caught Leila's greeting, though it was carefully modulated for my cars alone: And it was not until T was/ | neither | some honey to Mrs. | that was why he | heard a twig snap behind him.

Jack has gone out and slammed the door with reverberations that were abselutely profane. We have been married less than a month and it has come to this. We have had a real quarrel and over such a little thing. I am quite sure I am not to blame, for surely husband and wife should have no secrets from each other. I know that I would not care, in fact I would be very glad, if Jack took enough interest in my friends—all of whom seem to bore him more or less ~~to read the letters from them to me. He conld open them when and how he bleased and yet he said to me this morning that he considered any- one who would open another's letter eapable of almost any underhanded thing. Of course, Jack must nnder. stand that I would not read onc of his letters withont telling him 1 had read it. If 1 did that 1 would feel I would merit his accusation. When we went down to breakfast this morning, Jack was busy at the news stand buying morning papers _and cigarets. 1 walked over to the " desk, for I was expecting a letter from home.

I had all! 1 could do to keep from turning and going back to our rooms. 1 felt the that supercilious hotel clerk boring into the back,of my head. The satirical import of his smile brought the Llopd to my face. 1 rfollowed Jack however, hushand did net his seat at the table when 1 arrived there. He had a peculiar hard gray look upon hix face that I had never seen upon it before. It made me feel as though I was look- ing into the face of a stranger.
