REVELATIONSOF A WIFE

By ADELE GARRBON

on earth"
 He put his arms around me and bent his face to mine.
 Pretty nice, indeed" I agreed, nestling closer to him.
 My heart echoed the words In fact, it seemed almost too good to be true, this quiet domestic cove into which our marital bark had drifted. The storms we had weathered seemed far past. Dicky's jealousy of my brother-cousin, Jack Bickett. my un- happiness over Lillian Underworld those tempestuOus days surely were years ago instead of months.
 Now Jack was Somewhere in FTance,' and l had a queer little pre- monition that somewhere. somehow, his path would cross that of Miss Scnnot, the little nurse, who had gone with pr. Braithwaite's expedi- ton, and who for years had cherished 6 romantic ideal of my brother cousin, although she had never met him.
 Lillian Underwood was my sworn friend. With characteristic direct ness she had cut the Gordian knot of our misunderstanding by telling me against Dicky's protests, all about the old secret which her past and that of my husband shared. After her story, with all that it revealed of her sacrifice and her fidelity to her own ideals, there never again would be a doubt of her in my mind was proud of her friendship, although. be- cause of my motheY-in-law's preiu dice against them, Dicky and I could not have the Underwoods at our home.
 Our meetings, therefore, were few. But I had an odd little feeling of safety and security whenever thought of her. I knew if any ter rible trouble ever came to me I should fly to her as if she were my sister.
 My work at the Lotus Study Club vas going along smoothly. At home Katie was so much more satisfac ctory than the maids I had seen in other establishments that I shut my eyes to many little things about which knew my mother-in-law would have been most captious.
 Miss Draper
 But my mother-in-law acerbity was softened by her weakness. We grew quite companionab ble in the winter days when Dicky's absence at the studio left us together Alto gethcr I felt that life had been very good to me
 So the winter rolled away and al- most before We knew it the spring, CayS came stealing in from the South, bringing to me their urgent call of brown earth and sprouting things.
 l was not the only one who listened to the message of spring. Mother Graham grew restless and used all of ner meagre strength in drives to the parks and walks to a nearby square where the Crocuses were just begin ming to wave their brave greeting to ;he city.
 The warmer days affected Dickv adversely. He seemed a bit distrait displayed a trif1e of his earlier irri- ia bility, and complained a great deal about the warmth of the apartment
 "I tell you I can't stand this any longer" he said one particularly warm evening in April, as he sank into chair, flinging his collar in one direction and his necktie in another. I'd rather be in the city in August

How Mad9e's Happy Retrospect
 Ended in an Amazing SurDriSe

HI all ouII)IlSCs
 Life went at a jog-trot with me for a long time after the departure for France of the Braithwaites and Miss Sonnot
 My mother-in-law missed her daughter, Mrs. Braithwaite, sorely. ' believe if it had not been for her pride in her famous son-in-laW she would have become actually i'll with fretting. I found my hands full in devising ways to divert her mind and planning dishes to tempt her delicate appetite.
 Because of her frailty and conse- quent inability to do much sightsee- ing, or, indeed, to go far from the house, Dicky and I spent a very quiet winter
 Our evenings away from home to- gether did not average one a week. And Dicky very rarely went any where without me.
 What a Darby and Joan we are getting to be!' he remarked one night as we sat on each side of the library table, reading. His mother, as was her custom, had gone to bed carly in the evening.
 "Yes! Isn't it nice?" 1 returned, smiling at him.
 "Ripping!" Dicky agreed enthus- iasticany. Then, collectively, Fun riest thing about it is the way I cotton to this domeSic stunt. If any hody had told me before l met you that I should ever stand for this husband reading ng-to-knitting-w -wife-sort , cf thing I should have bought him a ticket to Matteawan, prontO' He stopped and drowned heavily at me, in mimic disapproval. "Picture all spoiled" he declared, eiehing. You are not knitting. Why, oh, why are you not knitting?' "Because I never shall knit" I re- turned. laughing, 'at least not in the evening while you are reading That sort of thing never did appeal to me. l1ither the wife who has to knit or sew or darn in the evening is too inefficient to get all her work done n daylight, or she has too much work to do Tn the first case, her husband ought to teach her efficiency; in the second place, he ought to help do the sewing or the alarming. Then thev could both read.' "I,isten to the feminist?" carolled Dickv; then with mock severity: "Of
 
 course, I am to infer, madam, that my stockings are all properly darned?''
 Your inference is eminently cor rect" demurely. 'Your mother Garned them today"
 Nice and Comfy
 What I had told him was true. His mother had seen me looking over the stockings after they were washed, end had insited on alarming Dickys l saw that she longed to do some little personal service for her boy, and willingly handed them over.
 Dicky threw back his head and laughed heartily. Then his face sobered and he came round to my side of the table and sat down on the arm of my chair.
 Speaking of Uo,'7"i'." he said. humping my ha;;' caro"sing.y, T want to tell ycu. &.--~|' heart. that you've made '.-' q ','t with me the way youN ak ,rc of her. Nobody knows bCttcI than how trying she can be, and you've been 7ust as sweet and kind to her as if ,,-oro bo most tracto h1o

of Alice W than that so passion ate love adventure should be lost It is better that t>our family should have missed that legacy which Dorrel cheated us of, than that l should have at this moment two thousand pounds in banco' and be without the idea of that spacious old rogue" The Older One Grows the Less One
 Regrets.
 The older one grows, the less one regrets. Time, who takes away with one hand the passionate lOngings of youth and it's intense capacity for en- joyment, gives with the other a broader view of life, a more philosO- phic sense of it's import.
 Everything that has happened has taught us something. Happiness has come from unexpected quarters; even that greatest evil, the death of some beloved one, has not come utterly empty handed-'more homelike seems the vast unknown since they have en- tered there" And all the time the pattern is weaving, and beautiful and ugly experiences, sad days and glad days wise choices and what seem to us mistakes are being woven into whole whose symmetry we begin dimly to perceive.

 Several letter friends have asked me to print poetry, original or other wise, in my column. While I may, and often do, greatly enjoy the poetry myself, I cannot always find room for it, because it may not fit in with any subject I feel capable of discussing. I hope they will understand that thank them even though I cannot use the poetry.

jected upon the screen for a public

the world OF millinery. made OF every

with every sort OF trimming. Now
there il nothing further to do but to
begin all over again ut the beginning.
and the beginning Is a small shape OF
straw or silk braid trimmed with RIB
bon.
Three smart models In which ribbon
amounts to more than an adornment
are shown here. In the first one

This gown suggests practical way
for remodeling a silk dress that Is too
antiquated In style to be worn without

the foundation. Where the amount OF
silk is not sufficient to make two
founces one iounce may be set on to
the short chiffon skirt without gather

the silk fiounce is cut into shallow
tabs, or battlement pattern, bound
with siik-covered cord and stitched to
the chiffon. The skirt OF the old gown
Is converted into nounce for the
new one. Out of the bodice and
