MY HUSBAND’S LOV Adele Garrison’s New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Amazing Question That Katic Asked Madge m is a strategist, She had been woefully confused and em- barrassed when Junior unconsciol betrayed the little plan she had m to have him greet his father fivst, i stead of me.. But at Dicky's smiling quip to me, “you win that bet on a foul,” she as once took a flanking position and questic imperious! “What bet?” What do you mean Dicky pretended not to hear her whether from chivalry toward me or reluctance to engage in any con- troversy with his mother, of whom he stands in much 1 could not determine, but I could not feign tem- porary deafness for she was looking directly at me, and when 1 hesitated for an aiswer she spoke agin: “Do yeu intend to answer me, Margaret, or have I become of so Ifttle consequence in this that you can ignore me?" “Pardon me, Mother,” T with placating mendacity. *“1 was just trying to remember what Dicky sald. He's always joking, you know."” She cast a withering glance at me. “You don’t imagine you can throw any dust in my eyes, do you, Mar garet?” she said. *I insist that you tell me at once.” I did not glance toward Dicky, dut I think he received my mental 808, for he turned to his mother in- stantly. “What a Mother Gra awe, house replied is it you want to know, Mother?” he asked, with suspicious meekness. “I didn't hear. yon ask me anything.” Mother Graham Decides *“T wish to know at once what vou . meant by Margaret's winning a bet.” There were icicles, well-formed ones, in his mother's voice nov “Oh, that!” Her son patently sparred for time, then decided that the truth was the only way out “Why, I bet Madge that Junior would run to me first.” “1 me She turned to me and scanned me from head to foot, while I waited for the explosion. But when it came, it was far less violent than 1 feared, Evidently the re- membrance of Junior's unconscious exposure of her own petty, littic scheme tempered her spoeech, “I do not know much of veur sporting terms, Richard,” she threw over her shoulder, with her eyes still fixed upon me, “but 1 should Imagine #hat the remark I heard you address to Margaret, fitted the case exaotly.” She held me a second longer with her angry eyes, eonsigning me to outer darkness, then turned to Mar fon as If neither Dicky nor 1 longer existed, “Marion, woftened voke uses in addressing young daughter, “will Katle to come here ately ald, with the always dear,” she she almost Lilllan's winsome you pleae tell to me immedi- “Eeof Some Friende—" T chéked back a ifttle laugh this characteristic piece of feminine retaliation.
