Adele Garriloq's Absorbing Seguel To “Revelations of a Wife” Beginning a All Aboard for the Beach Picnic! Judging from the actions of the members of our farmhouse family, TAlllan was not alone in her thank- fulness thhat the beach party was at hand. From tne moment that Katie's rising bell—rung by agree- ment an hour earlier than usual— ushered in the day, to the time of our departure for the bay, there was no dissonant note in the chorus of delight at the prospect in front of us Of course to no one save to Lillian and to me did the affair appear to have any other possibilitieis than emjoyment. And we were careful to let slip no careless word or look which would betray hep plan to watch Philip Veritzen's actions, and mine to essay the winning of Elean- or Lincoln's confidence, that I might help her. One other thing pressed upon my eonsciousness and my conscience, and that was the remembrance of the promise I had made Noel Verit- zen that sometime during the day or evening I would contrive to give him an opportunity of seeing Mary Harrison alone in order that he might ind out the secret of her aveldance of him. Our guests arrived early, as did our host—for Philip Veritzen was giving the affair, with Katie as his efficlent major-domo, with so over- ‘weening a sense of her own impor- tance as “boss of dot job,” as she Reveelf expressed it, that she gave the day. And by 10 o'clock the and importance from Philip Verit- sen's big limousine to the re- modeled filvver with a wagon hox for plenic necessities which Jim @revé, was on its way to the beach. Flsanor Lincoln drove her own smart runabout, and after her ar- rival at the farm I heard her offer Noel Veritsen the other scat for the drive to the bay. He was prompt in Ris acosptance and I knew that part of his apparent alacrity was due to BY THORNTON W. BURGESS What Danny Meadow Mouse ‘Was Doing. When you are in trouble, just dig your way out; You can it you will, there is never a doubt. : —Danny )Ieadowl(ame. When Danny Meadow Moyse had heard the sharp squeak 0of warning from Nanny Meadow Mouse he had dived headlong through a little hole in the snow beside the stem of the weed under which he had been sit- ting. He hadn’t waited to find out what the danger was. And Danny had been just in the nick of time. It he had waited only long enough to turn his head to see what the dan- gor might be Roughleg the Hawk eertainly would have caught him. But he hadn't waited, He had dived in beadlong and run right down the stem of that plant to the ground. Then he had looked up. He saw ®omething dark shut out the light frem the little hole through which he had come. He waited until the light was coming in that little hole agaln. He knew then that the dan- @or had passed. He promptly climb- od up and peeped out. He was just in time to see Roughleg resume his | perch on the fence post. “8o that was it!” exclaimed Danny to himself. “Old Roughleg hadn't gone away after all. he didn't catch me. If it hadn't been fog Nanny he would have. Now, the question is what shall I do? Tt weuld be foolish to even try to run across the snow to those holes that lead down to our private little path. Roughleg would have me before I could get there. I guess there is nothing for it but to dig a new tun- nel. There is one thing about it, and that is there is no danger doing that.” €0 Danny once more climbed down the weed-stem and began to dig a | little tunnel along the ground under the snow. It was slow work. You see, he had to cut a lot of dried gruss at the same time. But Danny is good little cutter and he knows how to work. He kept right at it. And while he worked he wondered what Nanny was doing. “I do hope Nanny gn't worrying, thought Danny. #1 hope she saw me dive down and fool old Roughleg. My, it 15 & good thing that hole was there!

Dicky drove Marion and Junior in his car, while Lillian went with me in mine. Katie, beside Jim on the flivver, kept an eagle eye upon the provisions and the plenie cooking utensils which packed the body of the old car. Dicky's car led the ‘way, for our first objective was the great inland bay two miles from the house where we meant to have a swim and lunch before going on to the ocean, and get into the watter.

W. C. A. Woman's adornment, she declares, is selected to gratify her own vanity. “Msaculine vanity has boen fed for centuries on the belief that every time & woman buys a frilly frock, enhances her beauty with cosmetics, or wears a strand of bought beada, her sole aim is to attract the admir- ation of the opposite sex,"” says Miss Sablaton, who dally comea in direct contact with hundreds of girls. "This theory, born of man, of s sirls to spend unlimited time and effort to enhance their appearance, Pride is the trait that makes her want to wear modish frocks. When a girl spends her whole pay check on a new dress, the chances are ten to one there is no man in the case.
