Why Does Madge Feel That She Can't
 Ask Lillian to Help Entertain " Robert Savarin?
Any mail for me ?"

Any mail for me?'
 Dicky asked the stereotyped uues- tion on taking off his overcoat as if he expected voluminous post. In reality there are rarely any letters for him among those left by the stall Wart young postman at our door. Ad- Vertlslng letters, tradesmen's bills, an occasional note or card from one of the old acqualntances-I am hardly just1hed in calling them friends-of my teaching days-these make up our mail. My value as a correspondent is almost zero, for I loathe writing let ters, so l rarely get any, and Dicky receives all of his business letters and much of his personal correspondence at his studio. Even his mother ad dresses her letters to him at the studio, confining her epistolary atten- tions in my direction to picture postal cards.
 T am very glad to be able to answer Yes for once," I returned, forcing note of gayety into my voice. It was but two days after my shop ping expedition int9 the city, when had seen Dicky buying a $40 hat and an expensive sut for Edith Fairfax. the Virginia art student whom he had rescued from the crush of the mob outside Madison Square Garden four months before.
 True, his explanation of the incident to the Durkees and me at our little dinner afterward had been most plausible. My uneasiness was not caused by disbelief in his statement that he had bought the articles be- cause Miss Fairfax was to wear them in posing for the illustrations Of a Southern novel he was making. and that the beautiful imported hat he. in tended for my own use
 The real reason for my dolour was the look I had seen upon the child like face of Edith Fairfax. That she loved Dicky, he who ran might read, and fear of another episode in my life such as Grace Draper's tnfatuation for my husband had brought me made me most wretched, although I tried my best to hide 1t.
 Dicky looked at me shrewdly as I spoke. I knew that he was not de- ceived by my air of gayety but knew also that he would say nothing which might provoke any discussion of the awkward situation into which we had been plunged.
 Who's my correspondents" he asked with a debonair cheerfulness matching my own.

 What the Letter Contained.
 Fine business! Trot it out,'' he ex- claimed with an enthusiasm which I knew was neither assumed nor ex- aggregated The reverential boyish awe with which he regarded Robert Savarin in earlier years has never left him.

MATERNITY" NOW
 PLAYING AT FOX'S

Based upon a theme that is of tre- mendous interest to every woman, Maternity" the vital, fve-act World production, will be the feature of the Fox program for today and to- morrow. Alice Brady, who will be remembered from her recent appear ance in Darkest Russia" plays the lead, and is given an unusually wide range for, the display of her remark able talents. The story deals with a young wife who, through the knowl- edge that the mothers of her family for three generations have died at child birth, lives, after marriage, In constant fear and dread of moth erhood. In addition to being a pow erful lesson the picture is not with out exciting situations and physical thrills. There is a realistic automo- bile wreck and a huge fire scene

SIDE TALKS
Making Life Miserable
BY RUTH CAMERON

A woman apologized to me the oth- CT day for her husbands irritable manner to her.
 He doesn't mean anything by it, she said. He's always that way when he's anxious about things at the of1ce."
 That way" meant that he found fault with her for things which were not at all her fault; snapped out "what?" when she asked him ques- ton; shut his lips tight with that air of repressed 1rritability winch can surcharge a whole atmosphere with nervousness when she was called to the telephone during a meal; and in general made the house 8 miser- able place to be in.
 I thought her very sweet to be SO patient with him and to understand that it was the worries expressing themselves that way.
 Not Much of a Man.
 And I thought him less a man than I had believed to pass on his worries so freely.
 When ones mind is an undercur- rent of worries 1t is the most nat ural thing in the world to let off steam by an irritable manner.
 But 1t Is also the most natural thing in the world to run when one is afraid.
 It is the coward who yields to both instincts; the brave man who con- trols them both.
 Life's Not Worthwhile Because You
 Frowned.
 If you pass on your worries in the form of an irritable, depressed man. ner, and the one to whom you pass them on passes them on to someone else in the same form, and so forth and so on, think how many people can be made unhappy by one per- sons worries
 There is no greater self con- querer than he who learns to con- sume his own smoke.
 It is one of the hardest lessons in the world, an ideal to be worked pa tiently and painfully towards. You've got to teach the corners of your mouth to go up when they want to go down. and your voice to slant up when it wants to slant down. You've got to suppress that habit of letting off steam by rritabiity. Sharing Sorrows Different From
 Passing On Worries
 I don't mean that husband shouldn't confide some of his anxie- ties to his wife (and vice versa). Of course he should What else is a true marriage but sharing each others sorrows, sharing each others joys?" But confiding them to her, getting her advice and sympathy, and drawing closer in their determina- tion to have courage and patience is quite another thing from infect ing whole household with the con- tagion of nervous irritability.
 It is hard lesson, what is the reward? ....e .*-.. .-..

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

Writes well, doesn't he? and he tossed the letter lightly into my lap. T think his script is fascinating. D l replied, as I took up the sheet of notepa per with it's delicate chiro- graphy.
 My very dear friend" the letter began. When we parted last autumn you gave and I accepted an invita- tion to make your home my headuuar- ters when I should decide to revisit New York after my long exile from it There has been no day since then when I have not been hard at work testing the power which has so long been lost to me. But now I should like to see New York again: I shall be able to stay but few days, for spring is near, and I must be back in my mountains when those first wonderful greens come to the trees.
 You see, I am accepting your in- vitation in the spirit which chara cter- iNsd it's offer to me. If for any reason my presence in your home just now would inconvenience you I am sure you will not hesitate to tell me. Cor dially yours,
 ROBERT SAVARIN."
 q Am So Glad!"
 What do you think ?" Dicky looked anxiously at me. Will you be able to manage having him here It's quite an undertaking, for we don t know his tastes at al1''
 "Of course I can manage I re- turned spiritedly. And I am so glad he's coming. Of course you want him to have your room while he is here ?'
 Sure" Dicky replied laconicallv. And, of course, we must entertain for him while he is here. Better call Lif up about it right away, don't you think?'
 I started, and then spoke decidedly.
 NO, I am afraid we will have to leave Lillian out of this."
