Quicksands of Love ‘Adele Garrison’s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife —— Madge is Angered by Edith Fairfax’s Offer. “Hello! Madge. Can you There was distinct nervousness in Edith Fairfax's voice as it came over the telephone. Remembering Lillan’s prediction that she would not wait until afternoon to call me up, and remembering my friend's expressed desire to be near by dur. ing the telephone conversation, I ruthlessly interrupted Edith's ques- tion. “Wait just a minute, Ede?” I asked. "I must see to some- thing before I talk.” 1 made my way as swiftly as pos- sible to the floor above where Lillian TAlllan was working at her drawing roard in Mary Harrison's room. “Edith is on the telephone,” said. “May I listen in on this upstairs | branch phone?” she asked; for T had had that convenience installed when we took the two apartments.
