REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Lillian and Madge Compared Notes Lillian rose, and clasping both hands over her heart, made a sweep- ing bow to my mother-in-law. It was meant as burlesque, and intended to draw a smile from the saddened elder woman, but I knew that in it there was the essence of a sincere and reverential salute. Lillian, more than most women, enjoys a strategic campaign of any sort, and I know that the plan Dicky's mother had just outlined for the managing of her daughter, Harriet Braithwaite, had appealed strongly to my friend’s sense of the dramatic. “And therc ARE people who do not believe in reincarnation, Oh, Madame Machiavelli !"" she intoned. “Get along with you,” my mother- in-law retorted, but I knew by sev- eral little signs that she was pleased with the flatt “Now, Margaret,” Mother Graham turned to me briskly, “you see why the sleeping quarters of the children must be arranged with no apparent consideration of Harrlet. For the few days they are here I'm going to Ifave Mary and little Roderick in my room-—that very comfortable—and the two other boys I'm going to put into the sew- ing room, which, as you know, ha a door opening into mine. ([The room is all ready €xcept for the bed, and Jim can move that other extensior daysbed from down the hall into it. Then I shall have the children right Jwith me, and, for all Harriet knows, I shall expect to keep them always, It you'll go down and have Jim come with those chickens. I mean.” Things to Plan 1 bit back a smile, It was unlike my mother-in-law to consider the convenfence of either Jim or Katie when (she wished any task per- tormed, - but T knew that not for worlds would ~ she present to W danghtér's eyes the picture of any- thing save a smoothly running do- mestic machine, And she meant to take no chance of throwing a mon- key-wrench into the machinery by Katie's USBAND’S LO extension day-bed is | her | n'~ New Phase of back her on the ‘all Summer’ l!imit too, if she thinks her daughter needs | the opposition.” The Mother Who Failed | “Don’t you think she's overdoing | it a little?” I asked dubiously. | “No, I don't,” she retorted prompt- ly. “She’s wise enough to know that | it's a mighty serious proposition tak- ing four children into a childless home, no matter how great the need | of children has been. Of course Dr. | Braithwaite will be wild to have |them—all he will see will be the| chance for fatherhood which has béen denied him, and for which he is starved.” “Dgn't you think Harriet is also longing for the children she denied herself because of her mistaken idea of the supreme importapce of her husband's career?” “Undoubtedly, but—you must re- member that all of the care, and the discipline of four children—whose mother—pardon me—-"" “You need not ask it,” T said steadily. “Justice is justice, even where the dead are concerned, and you know as well as I do how she failed in real motherhood.” “Yes,” mused Lillian, “and yet I'll warrant you that to everyone save her closest intimates she is being held up today as an example of a perfect mother.. Ugh! When I think of that child’s fage when she started to lead her down that path that summer— | T can't be sorry she's gone, But that's {beside the question. Mrs. Braith- | waite will have the discipline of four | spoiled children, and if you msk my private opinion, she'll very soon tire | of her job, unigss she has some pow- erful incentive to keep on with it, | such as the idea that everyone was against her having them. Her ob- stinacy would see her through in that | case,” There was an odd little ‘note in Lilllan’s voice which puzzied me, un. til T remembered her unreasoning dislike of Harriet Braithwaite, and realized that she had no faith in my sister-in-law’s desire to mother her orphaned niece and nephews, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924. DAILY FASHION SEI'VICY, L) SKIRTS GROW SHORTER Due to the new pencil skirts are growing shorter. A frock like a great sack that ex- tends to the ankles is hardly graceful On the other hand a straightline | frock that extends only to a point| well above the ankles is youthful and | simple and becoming. That's why the dresses grow shorter again day by day. The new French gowns and sepa- rate skirts are 12 and 14 inches from the sole of the foot. It may be some time before we come to that again, For the present New York designers are content with eight or ten inches from the floor as the cor- rect length. silhouette, may be set underneath. Then drop the clothes, sopping wet from the rinse into the hoop, and save strength and wear on your clothes. White Flannel The white flannel suit promises to be as popular for the late spring it is now for Palm Beach, and the tailored blouse becomes more attrac- tive as the season advances. Unused Utensils Any iron implements not in use| frequently should be coated well with hot tallow to keep them from rusting. Colored Buckles Colored buckles, preferably of bright red, or Lanvin green, are used on the belts of tailored frocks. Strong Cheeses Keep fancy and strong-smelling cheeses wrapped in tinfoil, then in waxed paper, and keep in a covered receptacle in a cool place.

The most sensible and | natural course to pursue is to do all in | your power to avoid this condition. First of all, don't eat too much, rise from the table with an appetite and you will never sit down without one Meat once a day is enough for any- 'llssonI one. The bacteria in all meats is not destroyed by ordinary cooking. These germs frequently cause putrefaction ‘and other poison-forming processes. | Give your body a chance, don't in- | oculate yourself with destroying dis- ease just because you eat anything you want. Run your body on schedule, » Don’t take food into your stomach | while any part of a previous meal is undigested | The liquid which you take or do not | take into your body every day plays a most important part for good or bad. Two quarts of water should be your daily portion. A glassful on aris- ing and one at retiring, the rest whenever you feel like it. The practice of deep breathing aids and develops the lungs, where the blood is purified. Good blood you must have; the rest is easy. Practice deep breathing as often as possible, some part of every hour that you ara awake. Always breathe through the nose. temember that metabolism (growth and bodily repair) are best carried out during re 1l sleep. Walking is the best exercise, but additional set-up drills of your own making can be used to advantage bhoth morning and night.
