Y HUSBAND'S LO Adele Olrrhon" New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE & The Cry Wrung From Katherine . That Madge Overheard When we had gone upstairs after | our midnight lunch, Katherine and I paused in my om hefore going to Mother Graham's, where we had just waged and won a hard battle with eroup, Junior's tiny body being the battle ground. i We found that the electric heater had warmed the air thoroughly, al- though to our way of thinking the atmosphere was decidedly stuffy. But I knew that my mother-in-law with the chilliness of old age, would heed only the warmth, and with an| assenting nod to Katherine's queried, “Warm enough?"’ I followed her down the hall to my mother-in-law's room. We found her sitting by the fire, with an empty tray and cup on the table. Evidently she had thoroughly enjoyed Katie's bountiful serving, and was much refreshed. “I can just as well stay up the rest of the night,” she said in a low tone, as we noiselessly entered. ve-ly, nothing deing, ab- * 1 parodied, emboldened by Mother Graham's softened atti- tude. “You have been wonderful, but we can't afford to have you ill also, especially with your daughter and gon-in-law 'coming. I'd love to tell Hartiet that you t up all night watching Junior while I peacefully glept,” “It wouldn't be any of her business i I did,” she said with a trace of her old acerbity, "But”, sighing heavily, “1 suppose you are right. 1 might be ill. 1 tell you, Margaret, it's pret- ty tough to realize that you can't stand things any more as you used to.

I'm not going to bother any more about the house- cleaning. Harriet and Edwin can| take it or leave it as it is. 1'm not | going to leave that hl d child a | minute until he's entirely well."” | She closed the door softly behind her, and Katherine swiftly panto- | mimed her approlmtion and amaze- | ment. { “*The eighth \\unll(‘r of the world,” ghe ‘intoned softly, and then she stripped down the covers of Mother | Grakam's bed and patted the pillows into shap MTake off was the comment, robe and get in here,” she ordered. ‘No, you needn’t look at mec so suspiciously.

Beneath ghalf-closed eye- lids I watched her as she noiselessly flitted around the room, mending the fire, opening a window with Infinite care that no hint of draft should strike the curtained crib, lowering still further the shaped light, and at last seating herself in a comfortable low chair close to the crib where she could see Junior's slightest movement. Then, evidently believing that 1 had gone to sleep, she slumped down in the chair, her first relaxing of muscles [ had seen, laid her head against the chair back and closed her cyes as if utterly spent, It was but two or three minutes that she remained in the relaxed at- titude. Then she opened her eyes, stretched her arms above her head, and settled herself in a position where she could watch Junior with the least possible expenditure of energy, a thing necessary for a nurse to know it she expects to conserve her strength, Ior minutes that seemed . hours, she did not move, and I craving' sleep, but unable to compel it, pon- dered the expression of weary hope- lessness that rested upon her face. Then Junior stirred, and I held my breath as she bent over him, fearing angther spasm of the dreaded coup. But that there was no reason for alarm 1 saw at oncé, but Katherine lingered above his crib for a minute. her face twitching convulsively, And then a tortured whisper, so low that T almost lost it, floated into the silent room. “Oh !

A meal deficient in meat sup- plying the necessary calories or pro- tein is brought to perfect balance by the right dessert. Custards require careful watching during baking to make them perfectly firm and smooth. The oven must not have a growing fire back of it because ihe temperature should not increase. Iiggs should always be cooked at low temperature and the milk and ecgg combination is no exception. Baked custard is so easily digested that in a family with children or an invalid the one dessert answers for everyone. Custards with fruit are delicious and most acceptable when fruits are in season, Apple Custard Two pounds apples, 3 cup sugar, 4 eggs, 2 cups milk, 1-8 teaspoon salt. Pare, core and slice apples. Stew It is rumored that the fall silhou- ette most favored will be tailored— straight, narrow and fairly short. Against that is the popularity of the silhouette that is still narrow and billows out in the new' skirt flounces around one's ankles. There's no doubt, however, that styles are being designed for the slender, since cach advance fall model seems slinkier than cvery other, Side fastenings and side pleats are still very fashionable. The normal waistline seems to be coming back into faver, especially with bloused frocks. In fact just about this time of year there are many new styles. Some will survive, others will not. It seems probable, though - that dresses of the type illustratéd will en- joy a considerable vogue since they are smart without being extreme. with one-half cup sugar and three tablespoons water till soft.

(By Tho IHerald Reviewer). “Listening In” an uncanny sort of thing, trespassing heavily on spirit- ualism, is being offered this week by the Poli Players at the Palace in Hartford. The uncanny situations which arisé¢ and the weirdness of it all kept the audience in suspense last night until the curtain rang down on the last act. As for a plot, it appears to be lack- ing. The story is unusua® but seems to have no other purpose than to ex- pose spiritualism and what a person will do while under hypnotic influ- ence. There are many moments of intense excitement such as when the lights go out, flowers on the wall move from their vases, a pen twithout (the aid of a human hand writes on the library table and other such things. The company does well in the dif- ficult roles each has to portray and as last week the honors again go to DeForest Dawley. Mr. Dawley plays the part of John Coomber, who con- septs to live in what is known as Bleewker Hall, a haunted house, in which his uncle lived for many years and died. While a resident 'of the house Coomber is gifted with an un- usual power of foretelling many dis- asters about to occur and is able to save many people from death. Mary Ann Dentler, as Janet Van Sloan, the girl who loves Coomber, appears more attractive and charming than here- tofore and is given an excellent op- portunity to wear delightful frocks which appeal to the feminine eye. Others in the cast including ¥rank McHugh and William Blake do well in their respective roles. Pseudo Sunburn Silk stockings giving the effect of bare legs with a rich tint of sunburn are worn with highly polished brown leather shoes. Evening Dresses Evening dresscs this coming season are expected to be of unusual beauty and richness. Brocades, metal cloths and velvets will lead for for- mal wear, an authority predicts. poli's PALACE HARTFORD Starting Tonight and then All Week Matinee Daily S, 7. esen THE POLI PLAY Starring DeForrest Dawley and Mary Ann Dentler With 100% Supporting Cast, in The High Speed Laughing Combination “LISTENING IN” By Carlyle Moore Author of “Stop Thief,” #Purple Mask," and other Broadway Successes PARSONS THEATER HARTFORD 3 Nights Beglnning Thursday, August 30th Popular Matinec Saturday Charles Dillingham Presents America’s Favorite Emotional Actress FLORENCE REED “THE l:i"J_I.LABY” BY EDWARD I\\IMH'I( 3 Author o Prices: Eve. 50(‘ to §2.50; Sat.
