HUSBAND’S LOVE BAILY FASNION SBFYICR Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Why Madge Was Troubled As She Read of “Benjamin’ 1 do not knew how long I sat staring at the inseription in the novel I had picked up. Medusa's head aralyzing hile than did the innocent.looking words, "“To ‘Benjamin’ with the author's grati. tude,” decorating the fly.leaf of the P ntation eopy which Dieky had Jeft upon the table The falling of a stick In the grate roused me to a realization that my sorry fire was out, With the instine. tive need work for my hands— something ich always comes to me in any mental crisis—1 rebullt it Then, throwing all depression aside, 1 seized, the book again, and began to apidly, feverishly watching ery page for indications that Dicky had sat consciously, or uncoen- sclously, for the anthor's word-picture of his hero, "Benjamin." T had not long to wait, From hero's first entrance and the author's description of him, T suspected what further delving Into the text only confirmed. “Benjamin’ was Dicky to the life as far as outward seeming went. T had not dreamed that any- one beside myself knew all his man- nerisms and foibles so well, But the soul of the man whom the | novelist had described with a frank- ness as brutal as his handling was brillfant—surely that did not belong to my husband. Madge Is Frightened If T were to believe that the novel- ist had gauged Dicky's spiritual and moral qualities with the same un- canny accuracy which marked his portrayal of my Peter Pan's physical and menttal characteristics—then in- deed my world had crashed to ruin about me. I'or "Benjamin,’ as portrayed by the amuthor, was as unmoral and as devold of the ordinary standards of -life as he was fascinating, Portrayed in the book were two wives and a number of other women who had loved the hero. To each he had been intensely devoted for a short time, and over one description of Ben- Jamin’s wooing, 1 shivered as with a chill, it brought back to my mind o vividly the tempestuous manner in which Dicky had swept me from my sedately ordered life and into mar- riage with him. It was long past midnight when I finished the book—I had made no attempt to read it carefully, and had obaid no attention to the really fine points of the author's style/of writing and his treatment of the cliaracters ——and when I closed it, I also closed my eyes in weariness and bewilder- ment which held more than a touch of stark fright. % A Wite Determination For the book had ended in fantas- tic tragedy, faintly reminiscent of Sentimental Tommy and his collar button. But it had rounded out the portrayal of Benjamin as a man at- tracting the love of all women, but incapable himself of any lasting pas- sion. ‘Was this, then, the real personal- ity of the man 1 had married, and who despite the many viclssitudes of our emotional life, I had belleved to be my royal lover still? Useless to tell myself that the book was only fietion, and that the novelist had drawn upon his imagination for everything but the outward charac teristics he had so skilfully described. The story had so obsessed me that I was incapable of anything save jeal- ous, unreasoning fear and anger. There was but one drop of comfort in the whole bitter cup. Nowhere in the book had the author described a ‘woman even remotely resembling me. Only one glimmer of common sense penetrated my swirling brain storm.” I must not let Dicky guess that I had read the boork or had seen the inscription. I rose from my chalr, and walking to the table from which I had picked up the book, I scrutinized it carefully. As I had thought, T could see the cloth table cover the faint out- line of the book, and I carefully re- | the | upon | placed it in the same spot #hd over ’ll laid a »n aper | Then, letting down my davenport | bed, 1 undressed, and finding myself shaking with cold, although the room | was ordinarily warm, I put en. my | bathrobe, and crept into bed, hoping that 1 would he able to secure the sieep which offered my only hope of | oblinien from the torturing thoughts TOIECARINE me SISTER, YVS PUMPKIN PIE, “When the frost is on the pump- kin" most men-tolk begin to think it's | tUme for pumpkin pie. And most of | these men, who know nothing what- {ever about the baking of these pies, | have very definite ideas on the sub- | d¢ ct. [hey agree that the ples should |be “thick,” meaning an inch and a half deep, that they should be cream- | ing and smooth and not too stiff, but | by no means “watery.,” And then they disagree when it comes to sea- soning. Some like them dark with| spice and others say “No mixture of strong spices in my pumpkin pie."” So for the benefit of the woman who “atrives to please” these recipes |are oftered. | Yankee Pumpkin Pie, | Cut pumpkin in narrow strips. | Removeweeds and pare. Cut in dice. ) Put in a kettle and stew covered un- til tender. Enough water to prevent burning must be added to the pump-| kin. An iron kettle is best to stew | pumpkin in bhecause the pumpkin can be cooked drier and acquire a dark- er color without burning or scorching.

This rule is for an eight-inch | pie pan. If a larger size is used add niore milk and sugar, salt and ginger It three pies are needed 2 eggs, 2% cups pumpkin, 2 cups sugar, and milk to fill the pie pans is a good rule. One tublespoon ginger should be mixed with the sugar. If spices are desired add them to taste, Pie With Meringue.

CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON KEEP YOUR BALANCE. | Your body “alance must be pre-| served if life is to be lived at. its best after the age of 35. Body balance is keeping the nutri- tive supbly of your body equalized | with the encrgy side. It is the using and burning of cells and their re-| placment in the organisms of your body. We are continually changing our/ bedies by work and exercise, both' mental and physjcal. ' Part of _the| protoplasmic cells are always under going change, being burned up and swept away, These must not only be renewed and replaced, but there should also| be a surplus, We call this vitality or vital life. Vital surplus is often squandered by the time middle Iife is reached. | Remenber up to the age of 30 you have been building your body for both growth and repair. Don't con- tinue this time. You are simply add- | ing fat cells. In other words, you| {are storing up trouble for yourself later on, as the fat cells do not work, Although the human body is most complex in jts make up and function- ing qualities, if your tendencies are tcward normal or right Hving, all | earefully TO MAKE OVERLAPPED SEAM baste it back as shown in the first sketch, Then lap the turned edge over the other edge and sew.

VAUDEVILLE 4—Excellent Acts—4 SOUGA'S BAND IN HARTFORD, John Philip Sousa, the march-king, can easlly prove he has done more professionally traveling than any other celebrated musician in the his- tory of the world; but even he gasped when he looked over the itiherary prepared for 1923 by his manager, | Harry Askin. For the reason that; the great bandmaster-composer felt that he would Ilike a long rest-— meaning, with him, an opportunity to verk just as hard along other lines— Manager Askin booked a compara- tively brief tour for last season. Al- though it was, theatrically, a poor season, managers and ‘musical socie- ties throughout the United States and Canada, complained when they Icarned that they could not have Sousa and his’'band; so, it was the part of common sense to give to them what they wanted, and to plan the new s2ason along urusual lines, That the tour will take Sousa across the continent means, of ftself, noth- ing. What means a lot is the activ- ity in performance the tour will in- volve. In many cases, the booking is so “cloge” that the jumps will be made by motor-lorries, so that the hundred odd men of the band will not be compelled to lose rest when cer- tain trains are without sleepers or when they run at awkward hours, Sousa's Band will be at Foot Guard holl, Hartford, Thursday afternoon and evening, Sapt, 27.
