MY HUSBA Adele Garrison's REVELATIONS OF A WIFE § The Strange Thing Mrs, Marks Begged Madge to Do, That my nervous sleeplessness and my imagination were playing bizarre tricks upon me, was the conclusion to which T came after minutes of con- | sideration of the heavy breathing and | the stealthy footfalls leading away from my door. Mrs. Marks must have gone out of the outer hall door when it slammed, | T was certain of that, and I must have imagined the rest. Whether or not my decision brought the slumber which 1 had been wooing unsuccess- fully for so long, [ do not know. At any rate, I slept, fitfully, it s true, for perhaps 15 minutes, when I was awakened by a sharp stabbing pain in my chest I knew it instantly for the uncom- fortable thing it was. My old enemy, nervous indigestion, had its grip on me, The exciting, pleasurable evening, the rich food, the annoying con- troversy with Dicky after arriving home—all these had contributed te the unpleasant result which I now faced. From experience of similar attacks in the past, I knew that I must take prompt measures, or I would be real- 1y {ll. Hot water I must have as soon as possible. 1 must prepare a mus- tard poultice, and get from the medi- cine-chest in the bathroom the old- fashioned, time-honored remedies which T always carry with me. Re- pressing a little groan, for the pain was acute, I slipped out of hed, pulled down the window and the switched on the light, and put on my slippers and my warm bath-robe, Then I remembered—with a sud- den sharing of Dicky's antipathy to our little apartment—that I would be compelled to go out into the common entrance hall to get to the bathroom for my medicines and hot-water bag, and to the kitchen for the heating of hot water over my three-hole gas plate, Madge Is Timorous, For a pusillanimous minute, T was tempted to waken Dicky and ask him to go out into the dark hall with me. Then, at the remembrance of his fu- rious exit from the living room, my pride stiffened my cowardice, and leaving the living room door open be- hind me, so that the light would stream out into the dark corridor, 1 hurriedly traversed the few steps to the bathroom door. Switching on| the light, I secured my remedies and & small roll of muslin pieces from the medicine chest, and started timorously down the hall toward my dark little kitchen, the last of our rooms, and separated only by a thin door from one of the rooms of the Marks' apart- | ment, 1 knew the location o every article in it, so 1 put down the articles I car- ried upon the table before I raised my arm to grope for the chain of tha electric light suspended from the ceil- ing. But before I could reach it, a hand went over my lips, effectually preventing my sereaming, and an arm was thrown around my waist, sup- porting me, while close to my ear Mrs. Marks' voice sounded in a whis- per, effectually low this time | “Make a Lot of Noise—" | “Excuse me, dearie, T ain't goin' to hurt you, but I knew you'd seream {f you saw me unexpected-like, and that would mean the end of me, maybe.

INSRMAT Letter From [Leslic Prescott to Her Mother, Mrs, Joseph Hamilton, Oh Mother dear, I had no idea that things were 8o expensive At the prices you have to pay for things now I expect you have got a million dol- lars worth of furniture in your's and Dad’s house. 1 don't know how I am going furnish our apartment even with ail the beautiful wedding presents for four thousand dollars, and the money you and Dad gave me is all the money 1 have. Jack hasn't saved a cent but he seemed to think I had the resources of the First National Bank to draw upon. He even wanted me to let him have a thousand dollars of that money to pay on a block of stock he had been buying of the eoncern. He was terribly grouchy because 1 said that you had given that money to me to furnish our home and that you would be annoyed if I used it for anything else. He told me that I ought to furnish the whole apartment for a thousand dollars. Anyway, we might save a little money out of our windfall to invest. Then, Mother dear, I was nasty—I really was so tired, you know. I reminded him that hechad to saved no money out of a good ralary| and I doubted if he knew how ex- pensive things were since the war. He just sald, “Huh" again and asked if I were ready for dinner. T told him yes, although I knew I was looking like a tramp. airs but I could not eat. 1 went down| ing over all. beginning to think that 1 had paid much_for the apartment but Jack wouldn't allow me to ask him anything about it. He| said that 1 was a married woman and I shoud have some idea of what money would buy, that he was get- ting five thoucand doliars a year and that should tell me what we could afford. As nearly as I can find out four thousand wont' buy anything you want Do vou know that when 1 came to rent an apartment 1 had some sort of vague feeling that one might pay a fifth of one's income for rent. It seemed to me I had read that on some woman's page in the newspa- per That lars a Already I was too only meant a thousand dol- year. Mother, did you ever see the apart- ments that are advertised for a thousand dollars a year! When 1 saw them I almost wished I had never got married. 1 did not see one that didn't need redecorating and they were small and the bedrooms opened on the courts. thought of my great airy bedroom at home with its sleeping porch and Jack's nice hotel room. 1 knew he would be as unhappy as I. Mother, I am going to tell yon something I have learped aiready about this marriage business.

Not only does Crean, who is organist at St. Mary's church, accom- pany O'Brien, soloist there, but he also gives a wonderful exposition of ragtime playing and original medley composition, Mr, O'Brien features several high class ballads, Other acts on the bill are of high novelty and fast stepping numbers by Morton and Erown, Allen and Darnell and Ken- nedy and Nelson, The picture, “One Exciting Night," is just one thrill after another with a final punch that is a knockout. Ranking in the movies as do “The Bat" and ‘“The Cat and the Canary" on the stage ,this is the greatest mys- tery drama of the age. With a new show the last half of the week, Fox's famous picture “The Village Blacksmith” is to be featured. Written around the theme of Long- fellow's famous poem, the first part lof the picture deals with scenes vis- ualizing the poem, then sweeps into a modern drama concerning the villag blacksmith and his famiiy. “THE GREAT REX" AT LYCEUM By far the best vaudeville bill shown in the city this season is that which opened at the Lyceum this afe ternoon, featuring the world famous mystic, Rex, and his troupe of five | This afternoon Rex as-| tounded the audience by his mind | reading and occult seances, while his| crystal gazing, the result of studying| in India, brings forth great astonish- | ment.

Also, he performs the almost unbelievable feat of telling colors by | the sense of touch. Another member | of the act is a good violinist, while still another, formerly a singer with| the Chu Chin Chow company, sings! the alluring Song of India. Miss Min- nie Huber, a New Britain girl who has | just joined the company, makes her debut as an Oriental dancer. She made a great hit this afternoon and dur-| ing the week her friends are p\an-‘ ning numerous parties to welcome her | professional appearance.
