Why Katie Decided to Leave in .
 Tempest of Unsuitable Rage.
 "There are six of them," said my mother-in-law effectively. my daughter Elizabeth. her husband, and four children, three boys and girl"
 wherever are we going to put them?" exclaimed Intentionally, and the next moment regretted my speech, for my mother-in-law gave me whitening glance.
 There will be plenty of room," she said icily. "The girl is the youngest. and we can get crib for her and put it in your room, which, of course. you will naturally give to your sister-in-law and her husband while Dicky's room will fix that room very nicely for the three boys"
 ''Where do you think Dicky and I will sleepy" I asked. and I am afraid my tone was frigid as her own. for as mistress of the house was fast getting on my nerves, much as tried to conceal it from Dicky.
 Mother Graham's Demands.
 This projected birthday visit of Dicky's sister and her family, which had been arranged by my mother-in- law without even the pretense of con- sulting me until after her invitation had been sent, caused me much mis- giving. The incursion of six strangers, four of whom are children. into a household of sufficiently upsetting of itself. But when the mother of tho family is a critical sister-in-law-for I had no reason to believe that Dicky's sister Elizabeth would be less cap- tious than his mother-the prospec- tive hostess may we'll be pardoned for having qualms of anxiety con- .crning the outcome of the experi- ment.
 My mother-in-law's answer was not particularly soothing to my fears.
 There is perfectly good bed room next to Katie's." she said coolly, "with that walnut bedstead of mine in it. It is a most comfortable bed. Dicky has slept in it many time in his boy hood
 eff 1t be so comfortable, why could not the three boys sleep in it?" I asked rebelliously, and regretted the words the moment they left my lips. for mother Graham was regard
 
 eff that is your notion of hospi- tality to put your guests in room next the servants at the end of the hall, while you yourself sleep in the best bedroom, have nothing more to say," she rejoined, and then went on talking in sublime unconscious ness of the silence VOW she had just taken.
 However, am afraid for this once you will have to modify your very peculiar ideas,'' she went on, flor Elizabeth's boys are subject to croup, and must be near their mother. They must not sleep in so cold room ns that back one, either. They are not used to it."
 "Oh, of course!" agreed instantly, for sick child or one who is sub- ject to illness appeals to me very strongly. I was really trifle ashamed of my own reluctance to entertain Ncly's sister and her family, but, to do myself justice, believe I would have felt very differ

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

ently about it if mother Graham had not adopted such high-handed at- titude toward the matter.
 My mother-in-law paid no attention to my sudden equalization concerning the rooms. evidently considering my attitude, favorable or unfavorable, as not worth considering in her plans.
 We must have all these windows and window curtains washed" she said, "and the house given a thorough cleaning. Katie is getting rather careless since her marriage" She passed her finger over the edge of the window frame and withdrew 1t triumphantly, showing mo the mark of dust upon 1t.
 I was so used to these captious strictures of my mother-in-law con- corning Katie's work that I did not give her the indignant answer her words we'll deserved. Dear. loyal Katie, whose god was cleanliness and who was generally to be seen in whirl of brooms and scrubbing pans! I had a sudden foreboding that this projected visit, with the general cleaning and upsetting that my mother-in- law appeared to deem nec- essary, would mean trouble with the faithful maid.
 "You remember Katie cleaned the house thoroughly just before she was married in October. and has gone over it weekly since.' replied. in an endeavor to modify the tempestuous time I saw coming.
 'That may be your idea of getting ready for guests of birthday cele- bration,'' my mother-in-law returned caustically, ''but it isn't mine. Where is Katie? In the kitchen?"
 Katie Decides Quickly.
 "I suppose so," I returned. and I fear my tone was a trifle sulky. My mother-in-law glanced at me sharply.
 II think will interview Katie myself" she said loftily, and swept out of the room.
 As I followed her down the stairs flor I feared the result of my con- ference with my autocratic mother in-law and my f1ery-tempered maid without my presence to subdue Katie II had hard work to keep back the angry words that rose to my lips. The thought of an old mental safety valve I had used when a tenpestuous child came to me, and I repeated over and over to myself the most vixenish sentences I could thing of pretending that they were addressed to my mother-in-law. By the time I reached the kitchen, the greater part of my resentment had vanished in amuse- ment at my own childishness.
 As opened the kitchen door, Katie's, voice came to me high pitched. excited.
 "vot's dot you say? Seek peo- ple's coming for visit, and you want whole house cleaned, wash windows wash curtains, everything, an dot visit not one week away already yet! Vot you think I am. vun truck horse from brewery? We'll. I guess not. no can do. Dots all"
 "Katie!', My mother-in-law's voice was outraged, stern. "Never speak to me in that manner again. Do you realize how impertinent you are? You will do exactly as I wish about this, or you will leave"
 With panther-like movement Katie swept her arm across the Kitchen table where she was beating up a cake. sending cake bowl with its mixture aid the other things on the table to the floor. Then she united her apron, rolled it up In ball and threw it after the bowl.
 'I leave dis minnit," she gulped hysterically, and swept past my mother-in-law to the kitchen door.

Wear rubbers in damp weather
keep your feet dry; drink plenty of

If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica,
and you have sharp twinges, gnawing
pain or swollen joints or muscles, you
can get rid of all agony in Just a few
days by taking one-half teaspoonful of
Rheuma once a day.
