In. ced, I do not think I would have been more humiliated had Dicky ac- tualiy struck me. Upon one point, however, his reve lation had been involuntary. He had not meant to let me know that Mollie Fawcelt had been present upon the occasion which sent him home to me with his head bound up and bleeding. Moregyer, 1 could see by the quick glance he gave me that he M 1 had not understood the mean- ing of his allusion, 1 realized that I was lowering my own standards immeasurably in this | scene between us—I generally have taken refuge in silence when Dicky is in one of his rages—but something about this latest discovery had en- raged me beyvond the point where I could thi carlly. I was able to keep my ‘oice low and even a procedure which I \ave found angers Dicky far than if I shrieked to Heaven, but ere my self-control ended. I could ot Kecp from him any longer the Immowledge I had of that night, For the moment 1 was some tirely outside of my normal self, Blank Astonishment I suddenly rose from my chair, my hand almost touching Dieky as | did so. He stepped back and the single glance I threw him showed me that he was puzzled and a bit uneasy about what my next move- ment would be., Without a second vlance at him, 1 went straight to the desk, and had hidden there on that memorable night. 5 With shaking fingers T tore off he paper and dumped the contents, the two handkerchiefs and hroidered collar which had served as bandages for Dicky's head, and whieh I had found stuffed into the baste-basket after he had insisted upon dressing the wound him- “It will not be necessary for you to tell me the ‘real dope,” as you call i, I said jeily., "1 am perfectly aware ‘that Miss Fawcett was zood Samaritan who bound up your wounds, and I must beg your par- don and hers for my delay in re- turning to you her property, by absence at the farm will haps plead for me."” Into Dicky's face flashed of blank astonishiment. “You Mean——*" “Look lLiere,” he stormed, 1 may pretty bad, but this performance is about as raw a plece of work as I ever paw from a woman of your supposed ideals. Snooping around like & Jady’'s maid in a French farce and searching & waste-basket for evidence against your husband. Those things were wadded up as bandages. 1 suppose you econfided in the janitor's wife and had her wash and iron them." There was an uneasy note beneath the sneer, and 1 answered bhoth per- a look Letter from Leslie Prescott to John Alden Prescott, Continued, Had a long talk with Ruth-—really the first one I have had ‘since I came from your mother's dear.

I fhad scored myself a hundred times | for it, but hearing him make the ac- | cusation suddenly justificd me to my- self besides increasing my anger against him.

Now that's not saying that 1 want jou to, but it is saying that 1 wouid be afraid to trust my fate again, In the case of Ruth, you know Walter has always had the reputa- tion of being a great woman's man. In fact, you remember, when were first married, you thorough'y objected to me being seen in any party where he was, 1 remember one of our first quarrels was because he happened to come and sit at the table where Ruth and I were having | luncheon together, although you had nothing to say about her husband, Harry Ellington, whe, through some | joke of fate, came in with the woman | he afterwards deserted Ruth for, Ruth trusts Walter utterly, scems to think that it was |she was married and he could not have her that made him so catholic in his attentions to other women £he said to me, when we were talk- ing it over tonight: “Every man is true to some wom- an after his fashion.” You know, Jack, that thought quite comfortable to me, for I take it to myseif that I am the woman to whom you will always be true after your fashion. I baven't heard from your mother since you went away, bt I know ahe 18 all right, for you know her inst letter was a very cheery one. 1 think we ought to have your mother visit uws, dear. You know she has never been here since our marriag: and that 8 a long time ago, Jack. Somehow, 1 feel as though 1 had ai- ways been married. 1 cannot imag- ine my life without you and littfe Jack. Do you know, dear, 1 believe every woman should marry. 1 ecannot speak for the men, because I fecl that perhaps they are differemt; but no matter if a woman is unhappily mar- , she still has a feeling of security, as long as a man provides for her and pays the respect and honor due to her as his wife, that comes from nothing else in this worid. It's a different fecling than 1 ever thought 1 should have. I do not be- lieve love is necessary 1o it. It's just ~oh, 1 can’t explain it, Jack—but| it’s just that you belong, some way, and you can’t get away from it. A husband may hurt you occasion- ally almost more than you can bear. He can bore you often to extinction. He may neglect you at times. But he cannot take away from you in, any way the feeling that you are his you are the ohe woman in wll the world that bears his name, and the only woman who is recognized as NMe helpmeet and the custodian of hi® honor. | (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) is wife we | DAILY EASHION SERVICE.
