MY HUSBAND'S LOVE Adele Garrison' New Fhase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The waste basket, of course. That was my first objeetive upon entering the bathroom where I had bandaged Dieky's hurt head. | had seen him mee furtively at it just before I had heiped him back Lo his bedroom, and 1 was sure that he had thrust into the torn papers which it contained, the queer awkward handages whieh had been tied around his head when he came home. 1 locked the bathroom door, and then, spreading & newspaper upon the fleor, tumbled the contents of the waste basket out upon it. The thing 1 sought was almost at the bottom of the basket, a newspaper roughly en- closing the blood-stained bandages, That they were not the ordinary surgical banduges, 1 saw at once, but Just what they were 1 could not o~ termine. Putting the rest of the pa- pers back in the waste basket, I poured from the basin the solution which I had prepared for the laving of Dicky's head, filled it with cold water, and laid the banduges dn it, At intervals 1 changed the water, until finally 1 was able with the air of warm water and soap to wash the pleces of cloth thoroughly, It was after their final rinsing that I spread them over the bath tub rim, and item- lzed them carefully, Two small, cheap, but dainly fem- inine handkerchiefs, with no distin- gulshing monogram, which had been wadded into to the wound, A large fine linen moucholr, which 1 recognized as one of Dicky's ewn which had been folded Into small compass and lajd over the others, A long lawn collar, hemstitched, such as udorns so many ready-made cottdn frocks nowandays. They are duplicated by the hundreds In every | large store. I had two or three siml- lar ones myself, T had seen one upon the frock of the girl, Molly IFassett, who had come to see Mrs, Marks, herself, sported one, as doubtless did scores of other women within a few yards of me, The collar had been used to tie down the other bandages, and for a long minute, I stood staring at it try- ing to visuailze the accident in which Dicky so patently had received first aid from some woman, That he had tried so hard to con- ceal the bandages, argued one of two things: Either the accident was one of which he had reason to be ashamed, or else he had found me so intolerant during our life together that, no matter if his escapade were entirely innocent, he feared a scene when I should discover the feminine handkerchiefs and collar, Woman-like, I promptly acquitted myself of the second premise, but on the other hand, all my love of fair play protested against condemning Dicky without knowing the truth. My altruistic sentiments, however, did not prevent me from planning a Machia- vellian little surprise for my husband. I resolved to stay awake the rest of the night or rather morning that I might send the waste basket down to be emptied before Dicky should awaken. This would effectually pre- vent his knowing whether or not I had found the bandages.until I should decide to enlighten him. Moving noiselessly, 1 tidied up the bathroom, putting' everything in its place. Then I went to the kitchen and switched on my electric iron. When it had heated sufficiently, I ironed the handkerchiefs and the col- lar until they were dry. Folding them neatly, I wrapped them in a piece of white paper, switched off the iron, and going back to the room, hid them securely away in my own traveling bag. Only then did the tension upon my nerves relax, and I slumped weakly down upon the bed, feeling unutter- ably miscrable, But I did not forget my determination to stay awake un- | til morning, and long before it wus time for the janitor to make his rounds I dressed and carried the aste basket down to his quarters and emptied it with the explanation that I needed it for the sorting of balls and applied first | living | some papers. 1 also sldestracked any possible curiosity he might have had by tell. ing him of the apartment I desired for my sister-in-law's use during her brief sojourn in the eity, and making an engagement with him to view the empty apartments in the building— two In number——later in the day. Dicky was still asleep when I re. turned to our apartment, and I de. clded to do my daily marketing be- (tore 1 prepared breakfast that 1 might not be absent when he should awaken, and perhaps need me, 1 dressed for the street, and, going out, hurrled my errands. Returning, 1 was particularly careful in fitting my key that I might make no noise, for 1 wished to have Dicky sleep as long as possible, knowing that it would be his best medicine, J had left the living room door partly a, for It creaked whenever it was opened or shut, and because of my noiseless entrance, Dicky, who, at- | tired In bath robe and slippers was | bending over the table, did not see me. And before I could speak to let him know 1 was there, I suddenly found my llps closed, For In his 'hands he held the book which I had read with so much uncasiness, and even as I looked, he tore the com- promisingly Inscribed fly-leaf out, and srammed it in his pocket. By DR, CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON I CAU OF GOITER The cause of goiter has been re- cently subjected to much disrussion on the part of physicians and laymen alike, Much light has been thrown on the so-called sources of focal infection. Mysteries which have surrounded goiter, chronic rheumatism and dis- cuses of the stomach and kidneys, have been under strict observation. Intestinal stagnation may cause true infection by 1inlero-organisms pene- trating the tissues. However, many cases of chemical poisoning, it is now believed, are due to “focal infection, arising in other regions. Dr, De Courey of Cincinnati, head of the goiter clinic at Seton Hospi- tal, has advanced the statement that goiter is caused by fatigue or exces- sive excercise. After the treatment of three thousand patients, he is posi- tive that much careful thought must he given the subject of physical excer- cise in schools and other places, by girls and women. Bight women every two men. “Excessive athletic and gymnastic work, especially in high schools, when girls are going through the adoles- cent period, in my opinion is being overdone at present,” the doctor says. “Several years ago I advanced the theory that fatigue plays an import. ant part in the production of goiter, and I felt that the growth develops when the normal limit of a patient's endurance 1s exceeded, whether sud- denly or gradually. Women develop goiter more readily, because their zone of endurance is more narrowed than that of men. If the growth of goiter in girls and women can be prevented by careful dieting and, as Dr. Courey says, by avoiding nervous tension and strenu- cus exerclse; one of the greatest dis- asters may be a thing of the past in a comparatively few years. develop goiter to Old Chiffonier ; An old chiffonier is a handy thing to have in the kitchen.

It is “The Daring Years,” a strong story of young love. The cast boasts of the finest of stars. Mildred Harws is the beauti- ful, wickedly bewitching dancer; Ty- ronne Power enacts the role of the father and Mary Carr is the boy's mother, sweet, motherly and appeal- ing as usual. Charles Emmett Mack has the part of the boy himself. Chas. Chaplin in “The Cure,” also is on to-~ morrow's program. The Lyceum also announces con- tracting for an early showing of “Human Wreckage,” that wonderful | story written by Mrs. Wallace Reid, taken, in the main, from her own observations of life and from sorrows and tragedies that have marred her life and killed her husband. For the first three days of next week the Lyceum will show a picture that is different-in that it extols those about whom the title speaks— Mothers-in-Law. It has a strong dramatic plot, a gripping love story and a tragedy element that keeps the audience guessing.
