REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
What Happened When Madge Was Left Alone in the Surxing Mob.
By ADELE GARRISON

What Happened When Madgo Was Left Alone in the Surxing Mob. Never in all my life shall forget the feeling of awful helpless terror that swept over me when realized that I was alone in the justling mob before the doors of Madison Square Garden on the night shorely before election when the president of the United States was to speak there. And with my terror was mingled a deep burning resentment against Dicl<y for leaving me in such 3 predi- cament. Of course, realized that he had done the manly. in fact, the oply th;t :. in responding to the cry of the gii.; ..lo had lost her footing in the err :. the girl art student from Vir- s:is who, had. gathered from <s's description, was with her ger, a studio pet of tho circle.

 "I think if stand this way it will be better for, you. Now bring your arms up, fold them across, your chest and keep them there. It will be better so.''
 'oh thank you!'' I said. 'You are very kind."
 A Whim of Chance.
 At the sound of my voice, a man, standing few feet in front of me. turned his head and looked squarely at me with an expression of surprise upon his face. | was so dased and worried that for moment I did not realize I was looking into the keen. gray eyes of Dr. Petit, the young I physician who had attended my mother-in-law through her dangerous illness, and whose frankly expressed interest in me afterward had aroused Dickyis resentment .ts;:s,,+-

SIDE TALKS
The Unreasonable Husband
BY RUTH CAMERON

|. To fall in love with and marry because the object of your love pos- sesses a certain quality of character, and then to be unpleasantly sur prised when that quality manifests itself, is one of the commonest of marital inconsistencies.
 | am thinking just now particularly of the quality of intenseness. be- cause a case where the husband fell in love with his wife because she was so intense about her enjoyment of things and her devotion to him.; has greatly interested me. That Was Why He Fell I'm Love With
 Her.
 And SO they were married.
 And by-and-by the intense little girl became an equally intense little mother.
 She couldn't do too much for her children, couldn't guard their health too carefully. couldn't think of any thing else. And as every intense emotion includes an equally intense capacity for worrying over its ob- ject, she couldn't keep from worry ing about. them.
 Again, when bereavement came to her she grieved with an intensity that soon grew tiresome to her hus-. band.
 But He Didn't Want Her to Be In-
 tense Over Dxeryshing.

could have fallen on his neck for very Joy. The weight of terror which ! had felt since Dicky's disappearance in the crowd while aiding the girl from Virginia melted away like the first snowfall in the sun. I knew that nothing very bad could happen to me with Dr. Petit on the job.
 It was but a few minutes before Dr. Petit had wormed his way to my side.
 What in the world is the meaning of your being in this mob alone 2" he demanded, and I saw the broad shouldered man in front of me look at the tall physician curiously. then turn his back toward me again. evi- .dently content to relinquish the care of mic. to Dr. Petit.
 .DicKy got separated from me a few moments ago." explained lame ly enough. I could feel the young pl1ysician's eyes searching my face.
 Separated from you!" The into- nation conveyed the idea that nothing but death should take any one who cared for me from my side In dan gerous position such as mine. At another time I would have resented the insinuation against Dicky hotiy. but was SO angry and humiliated at the position Tn WHICH AOuAo AiS SoAA that pr. Pettits impulsive words soothed me un%ccountably.
 'sIt Does Not Natter"
 Ut really was quite unavoidable. I said rather shortly, but 1t does not matter no&-you are here"
 The words were out before l thought how they would sound. As they left my lips saw Dr. Petit start and a glow suffuse his face. He caught my hand in the shelter of the broad back of the man in front of me and gave 1t a tender pressure.
 You need not be afraid any more," he said, and there was in- finite understanding in his voice of the terror that had been mine. would you like to try to get out of this. or would you prefer to get on into the Garden? do not think 1t will be so very long now until we get in."
 "Oh, I would prefer to go on in by all means said, wishing to prove to Dr. Petit that I was not the terror stricken female he seemed to think me. Besides, I had a vague feeling that when Dicky and I should meet each other again would prefer him not to think that I had left the meet ing with Dr. Petit.

 Poor man! I'm afraid the'll never realize that it isn't question of sense at all but of something in hnitely more powerful.-of human na- ture ..6
 Mind you, I don't mean to say that sne couldn't try to control some af the manifestations of her intensity She could and she should. But I do say that the tendency is there and that he knew it when he married her and should have reckoned with it.
 A Wise Husband.
 This is what 1 once heard a very wise husband say to his wife.
 T don't see how could have found a wife better suited to me all round than you.'
 You might have found one who was more placid,'' said she, ''and that would please you sometimes.''
 Yes" said he, ''sometimes, but if she were placid sometimes she would be placid from Az. I'd hate that" Wise. wise young man,-truly "a Daniel come to judgment"
