NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, SE MY HUSBAND'S LOVE Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Way Madge Tried (o Hurry o Dicky's Ald For a full half minute after 1 left the telephone, 1 stood still, planning the things which must he dene bo- fore 1 could bring to Dieky the eve. ping clothes which Mrs. Durk tion had caused me to take nway from the apartment. I had but little mar- gin for the catehing of the £:23 train, and it behooved me not Lo waste any time, Katle=~that was the first step— and huddiing my bath robe around me, I turned toward my room and found myself facing Katheripe, “I heard the ‘phone ring," ' she ex- plained, “but you were aiready at it when 1 came out, so T went back again, Any bad news “No, but I must get that £:23 wrain,” I answered, and explained Dicky's predicament and mine, Kathegine chuckled with amuse. ment at the contretemps, and then became her practieal self again, “You want a quick breakfast, of course,” she said, “I'll rouse aKtie, it she isn't already up, while you go back and get Aressed, Praisp b, Mother Graham must be sleeping on her good ear. At any rate she didn’t hear the telephone. You don’t want her wakened, do you?" ‘Not until I'm nearly ready to go," 1 answered, hurrying toward my own room. “Tell Katle not to bother with much breakfast. A cup of cof- fee is—-" “Suppose you attend to your own business which is dressing, also pack- ing, and Tet us attend to ours,” Kath- erine answered impudently. “And I warn you that I'm not going to let you pack In peace either. As soon as 1 rout Katle out, I'm coming back to help or hinder."” “And save my life and reason” I interpolated with my hand on my own door. “I'll be back Inside of five min- utes,” she promised, and she was as good as her word. Knowing her capabllity, J did not start dressing at once, but spent the interval before her return in laying out upon my bed the things 1 wished to take with me. While she packed quietly and efficiently, I dressed for my journey, and then helped her with the Mttle last things. Katle knocked at the door to an- nounce breakfast before we had fin- ished, and we followed my faithful but excited little maid to the dining room, where I found that under Katherine's directions she had inter- preted my cup of coffee most liber- ally. “Shall I call m taxi?”” Katherine asked ' when T had begun breakfast. “No,” 1 said thriftily, “The car is in good shade, that is, if you don't mind driving it back,” “Not a bit," she affirmed stoutly. Bt Whatever she had meant to say wae lost in the bustle of my mother- in-law's entrance. “What's this?" she asked excitedly. “I thought you weren't going until this afternoon.” . I explained Dicky's predicament for the second time within the half hour. “Of course,” she assented, “there's nothing eise to do, but it will give you more time to see to that apart- ment for Harriet and Edwin. Now remember Edwin has to have—'" and ghe gave me a list of the things which according to her were vitally necessary to the comfort of her daughter and son-in-law. “I'll do the very best I can to find something which has all those points,” I said demurely, and Katherine re- tired behind her serviette with a sus- picious coughing fit. “Is Junior awake?" {ously. “Yes, but T don't thing you ought to upset him by saying good-by m him,” she answered. I cast a furtive glance at Kath- erine, caught a decided gesture of I asked anx-!a dissent from my mother-in-law's die. tum, and rose abruptly, - “1 won't upset him,” I promi He might fret if he found out that 1 had gone without kissing him good. by, Junior's very reasonable if you explain things to him." “Richard Becond is the most re- markable child 1 have ever seen," his grandmother retorted with ealm con- vietion, “But If you get him started to erying—" 1 lost the rest of her threat in my exit and mn up the sfairs, where 1 made a game of my departure with my little son, telling him that T w golng to bring Daddy and some toys to him, a promise which T mentally determined to make good at the very first opportunity, Then, feeling armed for my jour. ned by the touch of his little arms, and his enthusiastic kisses, T hurrie down the stalrs and out of the house to the garage, reallzing that 1 had ieft myself but a slender margin of time to catch the train, i Jim had pushed the car out for me, and I climbed in, started the motor and drove perhaps ten feet toward the house when the motor sputtered and died. And all my efforts could not breathe life into it agaln. ! Mef In her tones that T spent many “The Way Madge's Plans to Meet Dicky Went Wrong It there is any exhibition more futile or more amusing than that of a woman who does not understand the mechanism of a car attempting to cure a motor of balkness, 1 do not know what it is. With an audience of every member of the family, save Junior, safe in his crib upstairs, 1 frantically tried every expedient 1 knew and those that were suggested to me by the other mem- hers of my family group, all of whom save Jim knew even less about ma- chinery than I did. Finally in des- pair 1 turned the car over to Jim, but he met with no better success than 1 had. “If T had a motor wot wouldn't go,” Katherine chanted under her breath, but the laugh 1 gave her was distinctly a forced. “I don't feel much like ‘acknowl- edging’ this one,” 1 admitted con- tinuing the parody, *‘but there'r npth- ing else to do pave keep at It's too late to get & taxi here, now." “You've misséd youn train any- way,” Mother Graham announced. “The local is whistling now from Sag Harbor.” “If the car were only ready our demon driver could make it never- theless,” Katheririe smiled affection- ately at me. * - “Yes, and break her fool neck!" Mother Graham snapped. ‘‘Come in- to the house, and let's see what's hest to be done.” With a vindictive glance at the car which had fafled me when T most needed it, I made one of the proces- sion which trailed meekly after my mother-in-law. Katie halted in the kitchen, but Mother Graham had other plans for her. “Go upstairs to Richard Second, Katie,” she said. “No, prepare his breakfast first, and then take it up to him. Now, girls, come in here,” Katherine followed her into the living room, and my mother-in-law seated herself in a large chair and turned majestically to me. “Give My Love to Richard.” “Why yoi, chose to depend upon that car this morning when an er. rand as importamt as Richard's de- pended upon you, I have no idea. But the mischief’s done now. Is there any possible chance of your getting in?” ! “There's a train which leaves hn'e at 10:30,” I began. “And wanders all over Long Is- land, while you change three or four times and reach New York at six o'clock,” my mother-in-law interrupt- ed. “I've heard Richdfd speak of it. He took it onee by mistake.” Letter from Beatrice Grimshaw to Leslie Prescott. I know you were surprised, Leslie, dear, when you found 1 was not go- ing to be married right away even after 1 had written to you and ex-| plained in detail all about the wed-| ding. You see, Dick had a chance to Bo out to be in the business end of mo\ln.g pictures in Hollywood at a! very large salary and a promise lmnl if he made good In a year he would| be drawing down a fabulous amount | of money. At least it secmed f.l.u-‘ lous to him and me. Dick did not seem to think it was | preposterous to put off our wedding. 1 could see that like most American | young men, his ambitions were strfonger than his emotions. was 1 consequently who insisted that the marriage should be postponed. 1 knew that if I had even raised an! eyebrow Dick would have turned! d@own the proposition in a minute,! but you see, Leslie dear, 1 was quite Bure that if I caused him to give up this opportunity he would never he sutisfied with any other which might be offered to him made him think that 1T was the who was ambitions. 1 told him 1 wanted money and poaition, while| ail the “hl?’ Leslie dear, you know |1 that I have"always said 1 would be quite satisfied with a little guburban home and a husband who was get ting enough money for us to live eimply and lay aside a iittle for a rainy day. | However, 1 guess it is all for the! best. Dick has written me #inee he| arrived in Hollywood and he ! that the little moving @picture §s not as black as it has painted. 1In fact, he intimates the only time it is steel gray is the fogs come up from the *# ecarly morning > late at n position | s 1 one 1601 been | hat | when cea night | flock to the | of and cover everything with draperies| and screens of the goftest and most delicate chiffon velvet. He seems to like the fogs, as he likes everything else in Hollywood. He talks about the mountains, the flowers, the trees and the sunshine which, coming up from behind th(-! crags and hills, brushes aside the| gray chiffon velvet of the fog, lmd; *used. | turng the atmosphere to gold. He also likes the women he has| seen out there.

I confeas | would be just a little bit,, a tiny wee bit, jealous if he did not say that the beauty he seea out there is the kind without seul, just as some the most gorgeous flowers are without fragrance, By the way, Leslie, Albany, did young woman by the Perrier? Dick has met her working in the same studio he has usiness offices. 1 remem- ber her very well. She was a very beautiful fashion model the first time visited Alhany. Possibly she may have left hefore you came Dick savs this is has met ont heauty, spirituality am quite sure that known ahout her, when you first you hear of a name of Paula 8he is whet went to the one girl whom there twho. has and intellect. 1 Jack must have as 1 remember on my first visit to Albany she was the most talked of girl in the city Just as soon anough to down to see you Until then T am he as you well me, 1 are have am coming "‘rnl‘l nE®e hear your loving P ~What do Bally Atherton? you frnvn “Yes, 1 know" [ returned with a very vivid memery of the trip ol meant, “But it lsn't quite as bad as he made out, 1 can telephone Al fred Durkee to meet me at the Mar- vin station, and put ¢ board.

She gave mg A warm embrace which fully compensated for her captiousness and went upstairs, while I called the Durkees, Madge Reassures Lella Leila answered the telephone, and in answer to my Inquiries as to her mother-In-law's condition, she told me that my little friend was haVing ceedinly uncomfortable and “blue" day, clinging constantly to Al- fred, Hearing this, I promptly gave up the vague hope T had permitted myself that Alfred might be able to take Dicky's evening clothes into the city, and impressed on Leila instead the importance of his meeting my train with the bags when 1 passed through Marvin, “Hut when. are we going you?" Lella asked anxiously. 80 much to tell you," There waus a tension in her gentle volee which worrled me, “I'Il try to run out tomorrow,” I promised. “Oh, T'm so glad !" she breathed, and there was such real joy and re- to wee “I have of the tedious hours of my journey in speculating upon her possible rea- scns for so earnestly desiring my presence. Wihen the last train to which 1 had changed was approaching Marvin, 1 went out upon the platform and scanned the people gathered in front of the station. But nowhere did I see Alfred Durkee, and with exaspera- tion and dismay in my heart, T just had time to rush back to my seat, snatch my bag and get off the train before it moved on. [] THE BABY'S FOOD. In nine cases out of ten, the breast- ted baby seems to avoid constipation better than the bottle baby. Occas- fonally the hreast-fed baby will suffer from this trouble, génerally as a re- sult of underfeeding. Your physician usually can advise hygienic conditions to improve the quantity and quality of the milk. Such cases reguire in- dividual atteation. Correspondents cannot deal with them successfully. As to the bottle, if the home is in the city and receives pasteurized milk, ‘vou may he reasonably sure it is good. The mother must be very careful, after its delivery, to prevent bacteria from entering it before it is Where pasteurized milk cannot be obtained, be careful to strain and boil it for ahout 10 minutes. Cool at once by placing in cold water or on ice and keep at a temperature as near 30 degrees as possible, Boiling is often the cause of con- stipation and baby's cross, fretful at- titude, Whether ln the eity or country, milk supplisd cows should be supplimented by some cereals or frult julces to avoid eonstipation dur- ing the first year, These may safely be given to the baby heginning at the age of three months, ‘Try barley waler or oat _meal waler in diluting the milk at first, At the age of six months, some thin ecereal gruel may be of assistance, Another aid i1s to give some thin broth, ehicken or mutton preferred, three or four times a week/ during the seventh and eighth months, At 10 months, the baby should be able to digest full.strength pure milk and aveld constipation, Use fruit juices freely, heginning three or Tour months and eontinuing throughout babyhood.
