NEW BRI’I‘AIN DAILY HERALD, MY HUSBAND'S LOVE Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Reason Katic Was Troubled About the People Across the Road . Heartened by Katherine's cheeri- mess, 1 walked with her to the kitch- ‘en, finding Katie with her face close 2o the kitchen window, which com- manded a view of the road. She turned as we entered, and I saw that she was puzzled about something. “Something’s foony about dose peo- ‘ple's 'cross road,” she said, as she saw us. { “How is that, Katie?" I asked with | Interest quickened by ner comment. ' “Dey have no vashings out on line,” she replied, and Katherine raised her eyebrows at me in mute questioning @s to the meaning of the apparent ab- | surdity. I knew that Katie needed no prodding to keep on talking, and con- tented myself with the first inane| .query which came into my head. “Is this their washday?" T asked “No," she answered emphatically. | “Dot shoost vot trouble, Dey nefer ‘vash dis day, und dey nefer borrow | notings before, But dis morning | womans coom ofer, ask me for vun vash tub, say she got beeg vash, too| much for her tubs. I know you al- vays say, ‘Katie, alvays be kind und lovings by neighbors,’ so I lend dot tub and dey no vash out all dees time, ‘I no understand.” Katle Is Puzzled I heard a little choking sound from Katherine, smothered by a cough, and | knew that she was as amused by Katie's interpretation of my instruc-| tlons to her, as 1 was. But I also knew that we must not betray our amusement to the sensitive girl, so I made a quick banal comment, “It looks like rain, so perhaps she won't put out the clothes until to- morrow. Don't worry about it. If ghe spoils the tub, I'll buy you an- other. “I no vorry about tub,"” Katie an- swered a bit sullenly. “Eef dey spoll dot tub I take eet out of dere hide. But I no like tings I no understand, Dey oop to sometings, dose peoples. Maybe, dey keel somebody, und cut heem oop, und—" “Katie !” 1 cut short the gory de- “tails of her imagined five-reeler. I forgot to tell you. Mother (:rn?nm, wants you upstairs right away Avith Mrs. Ticer and Mamie. She wants to get a great deal accomplished this afternoon with the three of you cleaning." The ruse succeeded brilliantly. Katie faced me belligerently, arms akimbo, the oddities of the family across the road forgotten. “How she tink I goin' get dinner eef I stay oop dere und clean all aft- ernoon?” she demanded. “Mrs. Bickett and I are going to ‘get the dinner,” I answered placat- ingly, “and wash the dishes after- ward, 60 you can go upstairs immed tately. I'm sure I know where every- #thing is, and I see the chickens are sall nicely cleaned and ready for cook- 4ng."” “I'll Help You." “Yah, dot Jeem he do goot ‘Katie's indifferent drawl was irre- gistibly laugh-provoking. “Und all oder vegetables in cold vater ready to cook. You shoost put dot schick- en ofer now, und den you got nod- ings to do until you vant put vege- tables on, except feex salad. Dere ‘apple pie in pantry. Eet von't be job," then she bustled out of the kitchen, while Katherine and I, when she was safely out of hearing, relieved our tense nerves with a hearty laugh. “Katie ought to incorporate her- self as a cure for the glooms,"” Kath- erine sald at' last, wiping her eyes, and then she walked to the window where Katie had stood. “Just the same, 1 would Iike to kn w what they wanted with the tub.” 50 would 1,” 1 returned, “but ther®'s no way of finding out, so I'll tackle this chicken Instead, and get it over before any other tion." “T'Il help you," Katherine volun- | teered, and we both worked. Scareely | had we finished our task hefore the telephone rang. The message, 1 was sure, was from Dr. Braithwaite. BY BISIFR MARY CooL F‘RUIT DRINKS Every woman likes to offer a long, cool drink to the chance caller on a hot summer's afternoon, but {f she must spend most of the minutes of the call preparing the refreshment the caller is uncomfortable and the visit a failure. This informal serving is a real problem to the woman without a maid. Ons solution is to keep fruit sirups on hand. If small fruits are canned by the open kettle method there is always a lot of extra juice. Save the extra sirup from each can and when through with the canning, rescald the juice and seal in pint bottles or jars. Always be sure there is at least one hottle on ice, With the addition of water and cracked ice a refreshing drink is ready in the twinkling of an eye. Fruit not perfect enough in shape for canning might be used for fruit sirup. Lemon Sirup Three dozen lemons, sugar, 1 quart wafer. Wash lemons and grate rind. Squeeze juice from lemons. Put grated rind, juice, sugar and water in 4 smooth sauce pan and bring slowly to the boiling .point. Let boil five minutes and pour into eterilized ‘hot- tles or jars and seal while ‘boiling hot. Be sure the bottle or can is full to running over when sealed, Cool and put one bottle on ice and store the rest in a cool, dark place, When wanted dilute with cold water, T.emon sirup on hand means a great saving of time In an emergency.

BERVICK A most popular blouse for summer fs this low-waisted, short-sleeved mode] shirred on a wide belt. The yoke which also forms the sleeves is a becoming feature, Worn with a pleated skirt this special blouse is the absolutely proper thing for summer wear. It has an air of semi-tailored trim. ness due to the plain yoke and the details of finishing. One of these| detajls—the finishing of the slit sleeve-—can be done simply and ef- fectively according to these direc- tions, The slit is bound with a contrasting color and the sleeve faced at the some time.

Mark the line to be cut with a basting thread and stitch one-fourth inch from each 'end, cutting diagonally to each corner. Draw the facing through the cut (figure 2) and baste it back, basting from the right side to form an even fold. At each end, tiny pleats are formed which must be pressed flat (figure 3). A fine line of stitches should be put around the binding to keep it in place. The facing should be used as a lining for the lower part of the sleeve when the blouse is finished. Turn up the bottom of the sleeve on the hem line and slipstitch the facing over this hem as shown in figure 4. This careful finishing adds distinc- tion to an otherwise simple blous sirup and dilute with ice water. The sirup has a remarkably fresh taste when opened. STRIKE GROWS WORSE Instead of Improving, Conditions Along England’s Waterfront Are Growing More Serious. By The Associated Press. London, July 18—Expectations that the unofficlal dock strike which be- gan in Hult July 2 would end when it was called off formally in London July 31 have been unfulfilled and within the last 24 hours the situation has grown worse. The strikers continue to ignore leaders of their union and are intimi- dating’ many of the older men who are reported to be eager to return to work but who fear violence from the younger strikers. Employers have notified the strik- ers that unless they return to work today outside labor will be brought CUF MRS. BEAR LEAR!
