MY HUSBAND’S LOVE Adele Garrison’ New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Way Dicky Came Home | o Madge My hope of sleep, which should Danish the remembrance of the book | 1 bad read and had tortured myeelf | inte believing its here was my hus: band, did not matesialize, 1 tried every expedient | knew, but J heard each quarter-haur strike from the old chimes In a church tower pearby until a tangible andety was added to the imaginary one which had been terrifying me, Surely, 1] told myself, when two o'clock had | sounded, the most drawnout bangquet should be over, and I knew that it was less than a half-hour's journey | from the big hotel where the affair | had been held, to our humble apart- | ment. | Dicky ought to be home, Buppose something had happened to him ' Useless to tell myself that If my husband were the man about whom I bad been reading, he was distinct. Iy not worth worrying about, ll\d; my life would be more peaceful if he never came home, That primal emo- tion of woman, fear of danger to her mate, swept over me, held me tense, breathless, agonized for the hour and | & half which elapsed until 1 heard the | bhall door open and close and Dicky's key in the lock. Then with something akin to the emotion which prompts a mother to slap a child over whose disappear- ance she has been agonizing, 1 found myself unwilling to greet him kindly, or even to speak to him if I could help it, and cuddling down intd the bedclothing so that there was left only an aperture for breathing, 1 pre- tended to be asleep. A Terrifying Thought I kept up a regular and deep breathing for several seconds after the door had opened and closed again, And then, disquietingly, 1 realized that Dicky had not moved after clos- ing the door. He was standing mo- tionless, inside the door, and I heard no sound but that of his hurried, un- steady breathing. An utterly absurd but terrifying thought seized me. Suppose it were not Dicky standing there, but some marauder who had in some way se- cured a key to the rooms? My pulse seemed to stop and my flesh felt icy as I faced this possibil- ity, but I knew there was but one thing to do. With a swift movement, as noise- less as I could make it, I slipped from my bed on the opposite side from the door, and snapped on the switch of the night lamp at the head of the bed. But at what the light revealed, 1 for- got my absurd fear, my anger against by husband, my worry over the bobk 1 had read—everything but the fact that disheveled, pallid, shaking, | Dicky was leaning against the wall, either sorely hurt or desperately ill, 1 a@id not at first know. Then, even as I sprang toward him. I saw the | edge of a bandage beneath his hat.‘ and knew that he had experienced gome accident. “I'll Attend to This Myself,” 1 wasted no time in exclamations or questions. My long association with Lillian has schooled me in a habit which my mother's began long ago. 1 drew up a chair | to Dicky's side, and slipped my hand under his arm. “8it down, dear,” I said softly, the caressing. word involuntarily uttering itself. i i He slumped heavily against me, while the pallor of his face deepened. “Bed,” he whispered to my relief, for knowing his reluctance to be “doctored” or "babied,” I had not ventured to suggest his lying down. But he was almost a dead weight upon me when I finally got him to the bed and with the whispered words, ‘No doctor,” he fainted. Fortunately I have had much ex- perience with swoons, and in sicke ness and accidents of widely differ’ ent kinds, so that I was not as much alarmed as 1 otherwise would have been, but even with my conviction that he was only in an ordinary swoon, there seemed a tight band clutching my heart until the restora- tives T applied were rewarded by the opening of Dicky's eyes. “Did T go under?” he asked slow- ly. "What a fool ! | |portant part in preventing spinal cur- teaching | “Deon't talk yot ! 1 urged. “Drink this { 1 slipped my arm under his shoul. ders, and put & glass to his lips.

ROBINSON SPINAL CURVATURE IN CHILDREN In thousands of homes little atten- tion is given by parents to the correct carriage and posture of their children, Your children need careful super. vision from infancy and childhood, through youth and the days of growth und development, Teach them the heaith game of “straight back.” Do not allow a careless, slouching position at meal time. During the “loafing” period after meals, see that a sitting or re. clining posture is one that does not interfere with the health game of spinal control. 1t your children are growing rapid- ly and seem to lack muscular control of the back and erect carriage from the hips, watch them for the preven- tion of sump and slouch or bowed- out back. 1 Proper seating, both in the home and at the school, play a most im- vature, Proper muscular control is quite necessary to affect the well- balanced carriage and position of erectness, which insure a straight back, and health, Walk, stand and sit erect, with your head up. Draw the abdominal mugcles in walking and deep breathing. Fill your lungs when you hreathe, throw back the shoulders. Do these thinge every day and spinal curvature will not come your way. THE YOUNG LADY ACROSS THE WAY The young lady across the way says it she were a man she'd go abroad even if she had to work her way in the humble capacity of sextant. e n— Letter From John Alden Prescott to Sydney Caiton, The lightning has struck, Syd, old e¢hap.

BY BISTER i;l? CIDER, Pweet cider conjures up thoughts of roaring fires and roasted nuts and county fairs and good times generally, but the cook will find a welcome | change In seasonings in this homely heverage. Our grandmothers considered bolled cider indispensable in their mince- | meat, ham was baked In cider, apples were boiled In icider and now we use ciderin a delicious salad, Of course there's nothing llke pure clder vinegar for pickles, the purer the better, and good salad dressing depends on the richness and sharp. ness of the vinegar, Bolled cider is put on the market by several business houses, but if you can make your own cider why not koll some? Cider for bolling must be very sweet, fust fresh from the press To makse bolled cMer fill a preserv. ing kettle with sweet cider, As it bolls away add mors cider, K{eep replenish- ing until the whole kettle of cider ba. gins to thicken and become sirupy. Continue bolling without adding more cider and reduce ona-half. Pour into sterilized cans and sea!. Boiled cider should be almost as thick as molasses. One cup of bolled cider will season three mince pled. Even if you make your mincemeat in the modern fashion using candied fruits and nuts rather than beefheart and suet and ralsins and apples you will like the taste of the boiled eider in this year of 1923, Ham Baked In Cider A whole ham or a three-inch slice of ham can be used for baking. A small family will find the slice pref- erable to a larger amount, One slice of ham cut three inches thick, 13 cup sweet cider, 1, teaspoon mustard, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1-4 teaspoon pepper, whole cloves, stick cinnamon. Pour boiling water over ham and let stand 15 minutes. Drain and wipe dry. Mix mustard thoroughly with krown sugar and rub well into ham. Stick cloves into the fat. . Sprinkle over pepper and lay a few pieces of stick cinnamon over top. Put meat into roaster and add cider. Bake two hours in a moderate oven. For the last half houir of baking watch ctosely as the cider and brown sugar will burn easily when greatly reduced. Tf a whole or half 4 ham is used increase ingredients in proportion of the given ingradients for three pounds of meat, Cider Salad One tablespoon granulated gelatin, i-4 cup cold water, 13 cups sweet cider, 2 tabléspoons lemon juice, 1-8 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 6 whole cloves, 13 cup nut meats, 1 cup minced celery, 1-4 cup ‘white LYCEUM SU |rapes. lettuce, saind dressing” Boften gelatin 1a belllng waler, Add sugar, salt and cloves to elder ead bring to the bolling peint.
