VY HUSBAND'S LOVE REVELATIONS OF A WIFE deered my little maid for the house- cleaning. “This doesn't seem right, ladies,” she said, smiling as we ushered her to her seat. “I'm not used to being waited on like this.” “It's time you became used to it, then,” I retorted smiling, for 1 have a genuine liking for my kindly neigh- bor. *“Don’t you think you've earned waiting on this afternoon?" “Well, we've flaxed around quite a bit,” she admitted. “And in spite of all our interruptions, we have all the work finished which your mother-in- law laid out. Se everything's quiet along the Potomac.” A whimsical smile played around her lips, as she phrased the refer- ence so often uttered by a former generation, and I guessed that the ac- complishing of my energetic mother- in-law's directions had been no casy task. But the entrance of Sam and Jerry Ticer put an effectual end to any further questions or comments, even if T had wished to make thef, and until the hearty appetites of the three were satisfied, Katherine and I served them diligently. “I'll attend to the clearing up and getting the table back into shape for our dinner,” Katherine whispered, as we were getting ready to serve the dessert. “You'd better go upstairs and explain that mysterious bundle to Mother Graham before she bursts with curiosity." 4 The Way Madge Solved the Problem Jim's Bundie Presented Jim almost dropped the bundle un- der his arm in his perturbation at Mother Graham's question, Amd I saw that the native cunning of the ‘wo Ticers scented something in his sonfusion. I saw all my plans for the concealment of Harry Under- wood's aid to the escaping bootlegger sent scattering if I could not save the situation in some manner. “It is a bundle 1 asked Jim to get for me from the car,” 1 said quickly, and as I spoke I manoeuvred myself into a position where 1 could face my mother-in-law, and turn my back for a second on the two Ticers, From that vantage point I gave her | an elaborate wink, and a facial pan- | tomime surcharged with mystery. For a second she hesitated at the bait al- way so tempting to her, and then swallowed it with gusto. “Oh, yes, 1 remember now ! said. “I'm going back upstairs. take it up to your room.” I hesitated only a fraction of a second. I knew that she would open the parcel as soon as she was alone, but on the other hand, to show my | solicitude for it would be to give shape to. the Ticers' awakened in- terest in it. I could muzzle my moth- er-in-law, but I had to control over the tongues of the masculine Ticers which deserve the familiar old-time characterization, “hung in the mid- dle.” It was literally a choice of two evils, and T chose the lesser, although I quaked inwardly at the bad quarter of an hour which 1 knew was in store for me when my suspicious | mother-in-law should discover to whom the overcoat in the bundle real- | ly belonged. She alw: has loathed Harry Underwod in inverse propor- tion to the genuine and admiring af- fection she holds for Lillian, and in addition, she entertains for him what Lillian laughingly dubs the “mother- | in-law complex,"” which regards \\l(hJ suspicion any personable man who evinces the slightest interest in her son's wife. “Thank you so much,” T said sweet- | ly, and I took the package from Jim and handed it to Mother Graham. Madge Reassures Jim Jim's face was a study of alarmed | bewilderment. I had instrueted him to deliver the package to me with- | out its being seen hy anyone else, and he evidently had met the Ticers before he had a chance to conceal it I gave him a reassuring smile as | took the parcel from him, and man- aged to frame the words. “It's all right,” without heing seen by anyone save Katherine. But for that I did not care. As long as Mother Graham must be told about Harry Underwood, I was glad to make a confidante of Kath- srine also. I feit that I needed the sympathetic common sense with which she would listen to my story. “I'll send Mrs. Ticer down right away,” Mother Graham said gracious- |y as she went out of the room, and [ hastened to give Jim something to o. “If you'll show Mr. Ticer and Jer- ry where they can wash up for din- ner, Jim,” I said. employing the hemely phrase familiar to them, “they can eat in just a few minutes now.™ With a look of relief Jim obedi- ently hustied the Ticers to his own jquarters, and Katherine and 1 ar- ranged places for the Ticer family at one end of the dining table, Mrs. Ticer, pleazed, but protesting, same into the room as we were | dishing up portions of the chicken | with biscuits, and the ofher items of | the dinner Katie had she | TYPOS MEET Administration Forces Win Over Pro- gressives in First Test Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 14—The annual meeting of the international typogra- phical union settled to its work today after disposing of the old question of appointment of the appeals commit- tee,swhich, looming unexpectedly re- | quired virtually all of the initial ses- sions yesterday.

Dill Pickles, Every old garden had its bed of dill, and now that so many women are cultivating old-fashioned gardens why not include this fragrant old- timeg herb? Dill can be dried and used during the winter months when grecns are scaree, ‘n plain salads, egg salads and with creamed fish. Let stand in cold water to freshen it for winter use in salads. And nearly everyone likes the tang of dill in pickles with wiener or club sandwiches. Dill pickles are usually made of cucumbers from three to four inches leng. The cucumbers can be put into the 'brine as gathered, a few at jatime, until the crock containing them. is full. Then cover with grape leaves to keep crisp and take care of any top spoilage. Dill Pickles, Wash cucumbers and wipe smooth and dry. Make a brine of four quarts of water and one gquart salt. Put cucumbers in brine, cover with a weight to keep under the brine and let stand 24 hours. Remove from brine. Put a layer of dill in the bottom of a deep crock. Add cu- cumbers to almost half fill the crock. Add another layer of dill and fill crock. to within two or three inches {from the top. Cover with a layer of dill. Pour over a brinc made of four quarts of water, one and one-half quarts vinegar, and one quart salt. Boil this mixture for 10 minutes. Let stand till cookand pour over cu- cumbers. The brine must completely cover the cucumbers to prevent mould. Put a layer of the grape| leaves over the whole. Ella's Pickles, One cup ground mustard, one scant cup salt, three quarts of vinegar, onc quart water, small cucumbers. Mix mustard, salt, vinegar and water and bring to the boeiling point. Boil three minutes and let stand till cold. Wipe cucumbers dry with a ciean soft cloth and put in a stone crock. Pour over “vinegar and let stand three or four days before us- ing. These pickles can be made as the cucumbers are gathered. They are not soaked in brine before pickling. To keep, cover with a weight and store in a dry, cool place. Crisp Pickles. One cup rock salt, one cup mus- turd, one cup sugar, one gallon vine- gar, horseradish root, Wash cucumbers and wipe dry. Fut in a stone crock. Add horserad- ish root well washed and cut in quarter-inch pieces. Put a layer of herseradish over each layer of cu- cumbers. Mix salt, mustard, sugar and vinegar and let stand until dis- solved. Pour over cucumbers. Con- tinue to add cucumbers and horse- j radish until crock is full. Wash and wipe grape leaves. Cover »ucumbers with seven or eight long pieces of horseradish and a thick layer of the grape leaves. Put a big plate over the crock and store in a dark, cool place. The pickles will be ready for use in six weeks. The Thorseradish root keeps the pickles crisp. If the vine- gar is very sharp dilute it with water. Too strong vinegar is oftent the cause of wilty pickles. Rinse pickles in clear water before serving. (Copyright, 19 NEA Service, —_—— Gossip’s Corner Frank Craven's “Spite Corner” Pre- sented in Good Form by Stock Or- ganization at Palace, Hartford. ‘; (By The Herald Reviewer). There are two good reasons Why “Spite Corner” as presented by the Poli Players at the Palace theater in| Hartford last night met with the ap- proval of the first nighters. First, the | acting is excellent and second,ihe play | is interesting. Too much cannot hvsi said of the acting of several -ef the popular players inthis week's pro- duction. As the play savors of the New England village life, with the usual number of town cut ups and gossips, it is evident that there must be a number of rural characte Miss Frances Williams has been| scen in many roles this season, but never in a better role than “Anna Coolidge,” the old maid of the village, who seem to know everyone's busi- ress but her own. Arthur Griffin gave an excellent performance as IZben Gooch, aliled with Elizabeth Dean (Mary Ann Dentler) when ihe wealthy men of the town want to take her property from her. William E. Blake | was hardly recognizable as Captain Parker, and his characterization of the aged and feeble captain was one of the bright spots of the show. Miss Dentler, however, was the} center of attraction and is the one pivot around whom the play is built. As usual her work is good and worthy of only the best of comment. Ray provided“plenty of comedy as Mr. Dana, the village meat man, and with his change hy degrees in the tone of his voice, he kept the audience in an| uproar whenever on the stage. IFrank McHugh, as John Lattimer, sweet- heart of Miss Dean, has been seen to botter advantage, but lends her support in this play. Edwin Vail as Nathan Lattimer, grandfather to John, does well, as do Victoria Mont- gomery and Ruth Thomas in their re- spective roles, To tcll the story would play, but in the production there is plenty of comedy intermingled with | pathos depicting life as it has been| drawn by the author in the m(-rngl“ New P.l|glu|\tl town. spoil the J.
