REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
Why Madge Felt Strangely Annoyed at Phone Message From Dicky.
By ADELE GARRISON

Why Madge Felt Strangely Annoyed at a Phone Message From Dicky.
 That you Madge?"
 Dicky's voice came over the phone from the city, holding a note ia miliar to me. It is one that always creeps into his voice when he asks some favor of me which he knows is unreasonable.
 'Yes,' I answered, smiling to my self. What is 1t, dear?"
 Would it put you out very much sif.I brought Q man home to dinner and to stay the night ?''
 Why, no,'' I answered promptly, although was not especially joyful at the prospect, Do know him?'..
 ''No, but for that matter. neither do I. Met him at lunch today, and he seemed to take an unaccountable in- terest in yours truly especially when I began to tell him about our shack there. Guess he wants to get a place in the country.
 Anyway, you know me. The bril- liant thought struck me that 1t would be a good idea to show off beautiful loving wife and country home to lonely bachelor, hence my invitation, which he grabbed pronto. So do your prettiest. sweetheart. We'll be there about o'clock. Hope it won't in convenience you. So long,"
 I hung up the receiver with dis tinct feeling of annoyance at Dicky It was not the first. time he had 'phoned to tell me he was bringing a guest to dinner, but always before il had been some one had met at least once. And there was something about Dicky's meeting with this man and the circumstances of the invitation that made me dread to meet him. He must be a rarely critical person, indeed, for Dicky to, wish to "show off'' his home to him. knew Dicky we'll enough to detect under his non- sence . real desire to have the house. the dinner and my own appearance as credttable as could make them.
 Of course, the first consideration was the. dinner. knew if that went off we'll the rest of my problem would be easy. Katie always keeps the house in exquisite order, for she is the kind of woman who's never happy un less she has a broom in one hand and g dusting cloth in the other. l knew that if personally attended to the room the guest was to occupy, the ar rangement of the dinner table and such flowers as wished to get, Katie would do the rest.
 I sat down in my big flreside chair and planned the menu.
 What Madge Planned.

The man who sells is an important factor In any business But not so important as the man who buys. At least so a business man told me re- gently.
 In the business of married life, in nine cases out of ten. the women are the buyers.
 One often hears married women complaining because their work is so monotonous and uninteresting and wishing they could go into business where they would have some chance to use their brains.
 Yet in the majority of cases these women are not using their brains in their share of the worlds business.
 In Fact the Small Income Is the
 Hardest to Spend Wisely.
 To spend even small income in the wisest. most efiicient way Is truly a task for all a woman has not only of brains but of character. Take the brain side of it first. A first class buyer. the kind who |! If she were man would be offered positions by other houses, will know the value. not only the price. of all she buys. Tn the matter of food she will understand cuts of meat, she will know about the food values of various articles. she will see every thing she buys instead of shopping by telephone.
 It is not the people who have the least money who buy most carefully. A settlement worker told mo of a woman who had six dollars . week to feed . family of i've on and in- cluded in her budget 8 head of 1et- tuce . day (ninety per cent water) Tho Woman Who Fills, Not Just Holds Her Job. In the matter of dry goods she | will also be enough of . judge of materials not to be at tho mercy of the clerk. She will know sleaxy goods. she will be able to detect the shod- diness that 50 often turks under the gloss of attractive styles. She, will know at what shop each article can be bought at best advantage. These are few,-just . few.-o1 tho ways in which . woman who wants to i'll her job of buyer, not merely hold 1t by virtue of the mar riage service, will use her brains.

ing out to dinner on the south shore of Long Island would expect oysters fresh from the bay" I could send Jim to the harbor for them any time, during the forenoon.
 The rest of the dishes I picked be- cause of Katie's proficiency in cooking them. Her cream of celery soup Is always excellent, and l have taught her to, roast fowl according to an old recipe of my mothers. until they would-as Dicky says-make g. man forget his home in the enjoyment of their lusciousness. For vegetables planned scalloped potatoes and new snap beans.
 I decided not to have fish course, and, as 1t was so late in the winter, to have a spring salad of watercress, cucumbers and chives, with a French dressing. Then one of Katie's des- serts, with cheese and coffee, would complete a dinner which felt reason ably sure would appeal to any hungry man. even if he were as critical as Dicky's manner indicated.
 As I neared the kitchen I heard Jim's voice, roughly tender.
 Never mind. kid, don't you care, it will come out right never fear" and L stopped outside the door, not wishing to intrude upon them. wondering vaguely what was troubling Katie Then I heard the outside door close, and the chatter of pans upon the stove, and knew that Katie was at work again.

 Of course, should have reproved the girl, but knew by the traces of tears on her cheeks that she was upon the verge of an emotional outbreak, and that would mean perhaps a spoiled dinner, certainly an impair ment of her usual efficiency. skirted the question carefully.
 ''I am sure no water will get on the pudding this time, and it is such a pretty one, am especially anxious for you to make it. Have Jim kill a couple of the best chickens for roast ing, and send him for three dozen oysters-that will be enough for you and Jim. too.'

TWO SHOWINGS OF
 THE WHIP" TONIGHT

That no exaggeration was made In the prophecy that '-The Whip" would take New Britain by storm, was proved beyond the shadow of doubt last night, when hundreds of people stood for hours in the steady down pour of rain awaiting their turns to see the photo-play that is the talk of the town. Within the theater the huge crowd that packed the house was aroused to a continuous pitch of en- thusiasm and frequently expressed it's excitement in hearty applause at the vivid train wreck, the wild race be- tween automobile and train, the neck and neck horse races, and the many other hair-raising incidents. For the accommodation of the hundreds who have been turned away for lack of room, as we'll as for those who have been prevented by the weather from seeing this masterpiece of the screen; the management has arranged to give two showings of ''The Whip tonight beginning at and g o'clock respec- lively.
 Another big picture will head the bill for Memorial Day and Thursday. ''The Silent Lie'' is the title, and it is a big powerful tale of woman's g unique vengeance. The story is laid in the fascinating northwest, the coun- try of eternal snows. and the natural scenery of the locality presents most effective background for 8 story of uneQualed heart-appeal and origin ality. The fact that The Silent Lie" was written and directed by Raoul Walsh. who Is a brother of Smiling George" and the most effective di- rector on the William Fox staff, should be sufficient guarantee of it's merit. MT. Walsh directed ''The Honor System" and many other big popular productions. The program will be augmented by many other pie lures. including the Patha News. and 8 snappy Fox comedy. The show will run continuously on Wednesday. from 1:45 to 10:30 and holiday prices will prevail.

Pads and Fashions

Both coat and dress collars are made of satin and detachable.
 Jet and iridescent beads are still used on dark serge or gaberdine.
 Cherry-red ribbons tie the collars and cuffs of a pretty ecru dress.
 The general tendency continues to be for simple and straight dresses.
 Foulards with polka dots and small squares are especially in favor. Sheer black muslin embroidered with red dots makes q most effective hat.
 A white tailored linen blouse is more becoming if bound in blue or rose.
 For seashore wear there are pretty beach capes in dainty evening shades.
 Very wide and softly folded gir- dles are used on the flmy summer frocks.
