el v MY HUSBAND'S LOVE REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Questions That Troubled Madge | cheery that T wondered As She Closely Watched Katherine My first impulse upon hearing that low, bitter wail from Katherine's lips was to spring out of bed and go to her. Then I realized that she be- lieved me to bo fast asleep, or she never would have so lost control of herself as to give utterance to the whispered words which I had just heard: “Oh, God! My empty arms! To my excited imagination the sor. rowful plaint seemed to echo and re- echo in the silence, calling to me for aid and” sympathy. But although I instinctively felt that sometime she would voluntartly give me the key to her sorrow, yet I also knew that to betray my knowledge of her ery now - would be an unpardonable intrusion. Madge Simulates Sleep lay motionless, simulating So I sleep, as 1 had done ever since, at | her command, I had lain down in Mother Graham’s bed while she kept vigil beside my sick child. Katherine had arranged that we should watch Junior in three-hour shifts, and she had said determinedly that she would ecount her three hours from my ac- tual going to sleep. 1 knew that she ‘would carry out her word to the let- ter, so that I had a double motive for remaining with closed eyes and regular breathing. But my brain and my memory ~ were busy, ranging over the years of the past and my knowledge of both Katherine and her husband, Jack Bicket, my brother-cousin, the only elose kin, besides my father, whom 1 possessed. They had met in war- racked France, where each—Kather- ine as a nurse, Jack as an engineer in charge of construction—was playing an important part in the greatest of all world tragedies. They had fallen in love with ecach other promptly, had been separated by the inexorabie con- ditions of war, and when Katherine next saw him he was wounded unto death and lying in a hospital ward to the charge of which she had been as- signed. After a long convalescence and their return to America they had been married—how well I remem- bered their wedding day in Lillian's wonderful white-and-crimson living room in the artistic apartment in which she had then lived ! Life had seemed full of promise for both of them, although Jack had not yet ful- ly recovered from his wounds. But though his physical health had responded to Katherine's loving nurs- ing, and I knew that now he was re- stored to the full strength which had been his, yet I also knew that ever since their marriage there had been & shadow upon their happine: “I Told You I'd Call You Except for ' chance, casual, un- avoidable explanations of his explo- sions of temper, Katherine's lips had been loyally sealed, but I knew that his unreasoning and unjustifiable Jealousy of Dr. Braithwaite, the al- most elderly head of the war-zone hospital where Katherine had done such efficient work, had come near making havoc of their first year— indeed, I flattered myself that I had salvaged them from wreckage when with the privilege of kinship, I had ' treated my brother-cousin to such a feminine “blowing up” as he never had known before. ‘But the happiness which apparent- ly ensued, T had discovered to he only a patched-up one when my little friend returned to us to stay while Jack made one of his necessary trips to South America. Not from any con- fidence of Katherine's did I learn it, but her unconscious manner was that of a caged bird set free. And now this bitter moan, coming straight from an overcharged heart, hinted of more poignant sorrow than 1 had guessed. That it was useless upon the ramifications of ing, however, I knew. But the gamut of conjectures, neverthe- less, and somewhere in the journey found the slumber which for so long had eluded me. Katherine's upon my shoulder awakened me. “I told you I'd call you on minute,” she whispered, her lface so to speculate its I ran in mean: | hand | the | it I had dreamed the tragie, whispered words I had heard. I sprang from the bed, “Why can’t you go into some other room to sleep?” I asked. “Because if Junior should waken and want anything, you'd have to call me—I don't want him taken up un- less I'm here—and it will = be less bother for both you and me to lie down right here.” Her tone was so decisive that 1 wasted no time in argument, but simply donned' my bathrobe and glip. pers and smoothed out the pillows and bedding, while she told me in low tones that she had attended to everything and that there was nothing for me to do except to watch my child. —_——————— Gossip’s Cornes Fall Notes Among the noticeable style fea- tures for fall are capes made longer in the back than in the front; blouses which match the lining of the accom- panying jacket and the many buttons used for fastening on the tailored dresses, Flares Very large flares of shadow lace, finely wired, make the trims on many of the new toques. Pin Stripes The use of pin stripes iz an inter- g feature of many of the early r mades. New Fabric A washable guede fabric has made 118 appearance in London, Brown Dominant That brown will continue the dom- inating color in women's outer ap- parel is testified to by those who have Just returned from Paris. Shades known as “Havana” and ‘cigaret” are most favored Peasant Types A strong tendency toward the peas- ant type of frock is shown in many of the important models for fall. Bouffant The narrow silhouet is not holding undisputed sway. Many evening frocks show a bouffant skirt with the Lightly fitted bodice. In Paris, the silhouet, known as minaret, is proving popular, Sick Room Never use a broom in a sick room. Go over the floor with a dust mop, the ends wrung dry out of boiling water, Wash the mop out as fact as it grows soiled, If the patient is too ill for this, go over the floor with a damp cloth every other morn- ing. Hot Water If hot water is needed for cooking do not use that which comes from the faucets, Boil it fresh. Insecticide If roaches or water hugs make their appearance in the kitchen mix dry powdered borax with 'its own bulk of white sugar and set in shal- low vessels where the bugs are likely to be. Renew the mixture every few days. Left Overs Meat left over from dinner can be chopped and used in an omelette for the next day's luncheon. Or it may be combined with rice and tomatoes and used in a scalloped dish. Greens The tops of summer beets and tur- nips and the outer leaves of lettuce can be cooked as spinach. They make excellent greens, For Paint Spots Turpentine will remove putty from glass surfaces, paint or Ax Iemuze Srey of boagmost Brcrumcs v iy Prnazn m Py Lirrees Letter from Leslic Prescott to the Gay Little Marquise. I didn't expect soon again, but to write you so there is something that is worrying me, little Marquise. Not a great big worry but a kind of restless conscious feeling like the dull pain of some forgotten and sup- posedly healed scar Ruth seemed so queer saw the baby. Ehe picked and looked at him until he restless and began to cry and as he did that one of his eyebrows raised itself in the middle just as Jack does, and Ruth exclaimed, "Why, it Jack was his father this could not look more like him." “I am so glad,” I answered. “You know I have a theory, Ruth that people grow not only be to alike in manner and disposition if they are long together, but they more or less to look alike this baby, by the time he boy big enough to go look like both Jack won't be hard more and more him baby srow <chool, me to and for him Jook like Jack al- a few little mannerisme 25, you know, Ruth dear, that Jack is a very handsome chap.” When my husband came home, I told him what Ruth had said geemeqd quite annoyed 1 like Ruth Eilington very greatest fault is curios It gotten her into a lot of trouble, not only with her friends, but with her husband. 1 have always believed that she would have avaided much of that Alk which bas ewrzed about her in to it to if he 50 wnd he er did has when she | up ! grew | Leslie, | probabie Her | connection with Walter Burke if she | hadn't been so curious to know just how far Walter would go with a lit- tle encouragement.

H The velveteens usually are made with sateen bloomers. These dresses, too, are trimmed with, embroidery or bits of applique and ribbon trimming. The straight unbelted frocks are popular andemany are cut with small yokes, Othér dresses follow the styles for women's frocks, adapted and modified, of course. Fall coats for school girls are of rough mixtures in the tailored styles and of velvets and pile fabrics in dress models. Altogether there are many attractive styles in which the school girl of today may be clothed. SUMMER POISONS The desire to live is the strongest instinct in the human race. Were it not for poison we might live to be centenarians. During digestion different poisons are formed or are already in our food. Were it not for the fact that the liver destroys many of these polsons we would swiftly die. The kidneys, bowels and skin eliminate poisons. This is why we quickly fall ill if these organs do not function properly. Drink enough water to offset elim- ination. You should drink a glassful on rising, another before noon and several during the afternoon. Two quarts is not too much for a warm day. If in normal health, keep it up the year round. Water to excess should be avoided by those subject to dropsy, kidney and heart trouble or enfeebling diseases. Poisons affect the stomnach and gas- trointestinal tract most in the summer Little Bobbie may take a taste of grandpa's paris green., His baby sis- ter may try some poisonous berries, When the poison's nature is un- known it is safe to administer com- mon salt and ground mustard in luke- warm water. Give copious draughts. 1t will come ‘up quickly. Continue until the stomach is empty. For poison ivy, wash with hot soap. A saturated solution of common soda will afford relief, or cotton saturated with lime water, during the day time. During the night use a simple oint- ment of cold cream, oxide of zinc or diachylon, diluted one-half. A few drops of alcohol on a hot cloth, so placed that the alcohol fumes enter the ear, will often re- lieve an earache. Russian Headdresses Dinner frocks, designed on the Rus- sian theme, are being accompanied with Russian headdresses, some of them quite towering. Low Decolletage Convention is being superseded again by the return of low decollet- age. Drapery is used to some extent, and bead trimmjng occasionally, but this is losing its” popularity. To Clean Silver The hlack marks which silver gets from contact with green vegetables sometimes can be removed by rubbing with alcohol. T — J OHNNIE of the CIRCUS and his CUFFY BEAR ~ ~ By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY JOHNNIE GREEN LEARNS A FEW THINGS. Somehow the sights in the after- noon show were'nt quite so wonder- ful as they had been the first time he beheld the circus. Every performer did exactly the same things he had| done on the Saturday before. FEven| the clown played the same tricks on| the ringmaster. And the ringmaster lost his temper and cracked his whip and chased the clown away again in just the same old fashion. | Johnnie Green began to realize that everything had been carefully planned. He was sure of this when the | trick mule did his act. First he threw the clown. And then the ringmaster | offered ten dollars to anybody in the| curiosity | | that | Harry is always deep in an affair with | some other woman. has hu A neglected wife some excuse if she knows that her and is untrue to her."” Nevertheless, my dear.,” said Jack I believe it is Ruth's curiosity more than anything else that has always gotten her into tromble. Curiosity is the gzreatest temptation in the world, you know, and Ruth never seemed to understand what pened to Bluebeard's wives.” “But I can’t understand, Jack,” 1 interrupted, “why she ghould be cu- rious about the baby.

However, this is a mat- ter of “taste”” Whatever variety of grape is at hand can be used. Pectin (which forms jellies) is found in all friits but is at its-best when the fruit is not quite ripe. This is peculiarly true with grapes. As the grapes ripen more sugar is form- ed and ripe grapes are too rich in sugar to make perfect jelly. Choose fruit that is just beginning to turn to make a firm jelly that will be free from crystallization. The weather has much to do with the properties of fruit. A dry, hot summer means a fruit richer in su- gar than a cold, wet season. If fruit is gathered after a rain there will be more water to boil out, to obtain the pure fruit juice, 'These things should be taken into consideration and allowed for in boil- ing the juice and the proportion of sugar used. Grape Jelly Wash and pick over grapes. Re- move from stems and put in preserv- ing Kettle, There will probably Le enough water on the fruit to prevent burning. Crush a few with a wood- en potato masher and bring slowly to the boiling point, shaking the kettle to prevent sticking. When the grapes are hot crush with the potato masher and simmer for 30 minutes. Put in Jelly bag and let the juice drip. If a clean, sparkling jelly is desired, do not squeeze the bag. Let drip as long as there is any juice. Measure juice and put in preserving kettle. Boil gently for eight minutes and add as much sugar as there was juice. Boil five minutes and pour into sterilized jelly glasses. Cover with paraflin when cold. Grape Conserve Five pounds grapes, H pounds su- gar, 1 pound raisins, 3 oranges, 1 cup/|, chopped nut meats. Wash grapes and stems and then pulp. skins separately. Put pulp through strainer to remove seeds. Add to skins with sugar juice of oranges and grated rind of one and one-half oranges and rafsine. Cook 15 min- utes and add nuts. Cook five minutes longer or until thick. Pour into sterilized jelly glasses and cover with paraffin when cold.
