REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

unless I wanted a rupture between the two families.
 "Foiled again, Harry" I heard Dicky say as I reached Mrs. Durkee's side and apologized for not having come sooner to greet her. The light laughter which accompanied his re- ! mark grated on me when I con- 1 trasted Dicky's indifference to the badinage of Harry Underwood with his foolish jealousy of any other man ! who evinced the slightest interest in me-
 1 Lucky Mrs. Durkee!" Harry Un- l derwood returned extravagantly, and l my greeting of the pretty, mother1y, little woman whom I genuinely liked 1 was marred by the consciousness that l the man I unaccountably feared was kwatching my every movement. ]! I did not allow myself to dwell upon the vagaries of Harry Under 1 wood, however. I knew that if I would save Lillian pain I must quietly warn Alfred Durkee and his mother, as we'll as Dicky, of the radical change in her appearance. her trans formation from comparatively young woman to one of apparently advanced years.
 Little Mrs. Durkee proved her pos. session of the boise and good sense I was sure she had, when upon hear ing my news, and caution to evince no surprise at seeing Lillian, she neither exclaimed nor questioned me concerning Lllian's reasons / for hanishing her atrocious mask o1 rouge and powder.
 What Harry Said.
 
 to Dicky," she said quietly, and as crossed the room to where the three men were standing blessed her fol her thoughtfulness.
 ''I wish to speak to you seriously Dicky,'' I said, trying to make my voice gay and careless, "and MT Durkee, you are wanted at your mothers side.''
 Harry Underwood flashed a shrewd s understanding glance at me, a look which followed me as I stepped aside with Dicky, and which changed into a mocking, bitter smile as Dicky, un- able to control himself at my news, sounded a long whistling note and then, before I could stop him, de- manded loudly: What the Sam Hill did she do that for?"
 Your query is a perfectly logical one, my young friend" MT. Under wood sneered. and I had never heard his voice so unpleasant. "And I can give you the answer, pronto. She had two reasons, one because she wanted to make billy goat of me-" "Oh, don't Harry" a plaintive voice sounded from the doorway, and I turned to see Lillian and my mother in-law entering the room.
 could not believe my ears. Surely that sad. pleading voice, with almost a touch of timidity in it's tones could not belong to bluff, hearty Lillian Underwood! Lillian, who was never at a loss for a witty. caustic answer and toward whose clever tongue her husband had always shown a great deal of cautious respect.
 What experience had come to this dear friend of mine, strong enough to change her so?

How Mother Graham Rose to
 Pleasant Opportunity.
 Where are you going, my pretty maid?"
 Harry Underwood sprang to his feet as entered the living room. Of course, Dicky and Alfred Durkee did the same thing, but it was MT. Un- derwood who with his long stride advanced quickly in front of the others and barred my path. looking down at me with the indef1nable look in his brilliant black eyes that always makes me shiver.
 ITO kiss Mrs. Durkee. sir, she said" I answered in as mocking tone as his own, and courtesying low, sprang aside more quickly than he thought possible and lightly dodged the out flung arms with which he had made a barrier against my passing.
 The light, mocking elusion was part of the treatment of Harry Un- derwood that I had long ago outlined for myself. He was Dicky's Aest friend, the husband of my dearest comrade, Lillian. To take seriously, or to show offence at the burlesqued admiration which he constantly of fcrftl mo was not to be thought of

It is seldom that play which scores a great success in New York is available for stock a year or two later and only the persistent efforts of MT.

SIDE TALKS
Sound Words.
BY RUTH CAMERON

We fell into an interesting discus sion the other day about words that sound like their meaning.
 Take for instance the word "mur- mur." There surely cannot be any doubt that that words sounds like the thing it stands for. The "mur- mur of voices," the "murmur of wa ters," how wonderfully you can hear them in that single word!
 Bubble is another such word. It seems to me that both the sound and motion of gurgling water are caught and imprisoned in those two syllables. Words Can Sound the Way Things
 Look.
 Both these cases are cases where the word stands for sound. But the relationship between the word and it's meaning is not confined to sound, by any means.
 Take, for example, the word twin kle." Don't those syllables in some marvellous way sound just the twinkling of a star looks?
 Then there's the word "stifle." Can't you feel sense of smother and repression right in it?
 Doesn't Rough Sound Rough?
 Or take the words rough" and smooth. Isn't there something in the sound of each that suggests the quality it denotes? If you told someone who did not know our lan- guage that these two words stood for the two qualities, don't you think he could guess which was which? It would be an interesting experiment.. "Gruff' is another word in which sense and sound are perfectly welded. Can you imagine "gruff" meaning soft voiced? I certainly can't. And doesn't silky sound the way silk feels to you?
 Could ''leer" ever mean anything pleasant, musical though it is? Or could that fine old Saxon word stink" possibly mean fragrance. Of course the inevitable question pops up,-'Isn't it because these words are associated with their mean ings that you think there is something in the sound that suggests the sense?" It is Hard to Discntagle Word From It's Association. It Is of course, difficult to disen- tangle a word from its associations but have been aware of that danger and have tried to avoid 1t. The ele- ment of association may have some thing to do with my feeling about these words but it is not the whole cause.
 left out several in which thought sound and sense were allied, because I could not be sure how much asso- i citation influenced me. My favorite word "serene'' for instance; it sounds serene to me but I could not be sure I wasn't prejudiced.

to her protest, but twisted his lips into a maddening sheer.
 Quaint effect, isn't it?' he drawled, lazily waving his hand to- ward Lillian's hair, which, without the dye she had used for so many
 years was an ugly combination of drab and gray. Quite like a rag carpet, only the old lady wears it on
 her head instead of standing on it"

 Underwood, when really angered, had cold ferocity of temper which was
 to be dreaded But had not dreamed
 that he would dare to make sport of
 his wife in the way he was doing.
 saw Alfred Durkee and his mother
 flush in indignant embarrassment,
 noticed the angry gleam in Dicky's
 eyes. and the involuntary clenching
 of his fists, which told me that his
 friendship for Harry Underwood
 Lillian, and then my mother-in-law,
 cold, majestic, saved the situation by
 taking advantage of her privilege as
 an elderly woman.
 How He Looked. "Mr. Underwood" she said, leav- ing Lillian and walking up to him with a steely glitter in her eyes, twill i you kindly escort me into the library ? have something to say to you.'' There was nothing, of course, for the angry man to do but to offer her his arm and accompany her. I could not help but smile to smile to myself as he went out, for he looked like refractory boy being escorted to l the woodshed for summary discipline. 1 In a frantic effort to gloss over 1 the situation I playfully caught the l hands of Mrs. Durkee and Lillian. |" Come and see the chrysanthe- 1 mums Dicky brought for my table, '' I said.
 I They were really beautiful yellow i blossoms which Dicky had risen early to get from a neighboring greenhouse
 I knew that my husband liked me 1 to appreciate my evidence of his 1 thoughtfulness and I was rather ! elaborately exhibiting the flowers ! when the sound of a taxi turning into l the driveway drew our attention to l the door.
 When a moment or two later, Robert Gordon, our last dinner guest, appeared, followed by Jim carrying two immense flower boxes, my heart sank.
 If he had brought chrysanthemums, any they were fined than the ones
 Dicky had given me, I felt that would not give much for my chance of cheerful dinner.

nights.
Only street lighting will be permit
ted for police purposes. Excessive
street lighting will not be permitted
