REVELATIONS OFA WIFE
By Adele GaTriSoG

I New York houses, and she and
were seated in that.
The physician bent over the bed,
carefully studying his patient.
Through his professional mask
thought | saw a touch Of bewilder-
ment He studied the girls pulse
and temperature. listened 10 her
I breathing, then turned 70 the nurse
sharply.
What DIR. Petit said.
How long has she been deliri-
ous?"
Since just after l called you~
the girl replied.
Did YOU notice anything unusual
about her before that? You said
something over the telephone about
her talking queerly."
The nurse looked quickly over 10
the alcove where Lillian and I sat.
Or. Pettit's eyes followed her glance.
With a quick muttered exclamation
ne strobe swiftly to where we sat
and lowered angrily above Us.
What does this mean?' he asked
imperatively. why are you here
listening TO this stuff? II is abom-
Unable"
81 agree with you, DR.. Petit II
is abominable," Lillian said quietly.
She made an almost imperceptible
gesture Of her head toward the
bed, and her voice was full Of
meaning He started, looked her
steadily in the eyes, then nodded
slightly as if asserting TO some I'M
spoken thought of hers.
Mrs. Graham is here, Lillian
went on smoothly, because your
interesting patient saw MT this
morning TO exact a promise FROM
her that she would not leave the
room till death released her. Miss
Draper professed 10 have overheard
you tell the nurse thet her doom
was sealed il infection developed in
the wound, or words 10 that effect
She decided this morning that the
time had come and proceeded TO lay
her plans"
was unspeakably shocked at the
venomous GOODNESS Of Lillian's voice
No matter what the girl had done,
she was probably dying. l had no
room in my heart for rancor toward
her, even though every delirious
word she uttered with it story OF
her infatuation for my husband and
his for her seemed 10 me another
barb in my heart.
"Dicky darling" the voice from
the bed rose pleadingly. don't you
remember how you promised me to
take me away from all this. how we
planned TO go far, far away where
no one would ever find US again ?"
Dr. Petit turned almost savagely
on ire.
Promise or no promise" he said,
81 will not allow this any longer.
You must 90 out of this room and
stay out"
stood up and faced him I'M
fiinchingly.
Il cannot, DIR. Petit" answered
firmly Il must keep my promise"
Then I will get your release from
that promise at once" he said and
strobe toward the, bed.
I watched him with terrified fas-
cination. Had he gone suddenly
mad? What did he mean TO do?

HOW MADGE KEPT HER
PROMISE

PROMISE.
"Dicky, Dicky, what have I done
D that you are so changed? How car
you be 50 cold to me when you re-
member all that we have been 10
each other? Don't be so cruel 10
me- Kiss me just once, just once,
as YOU used TO do"
( over and over again the plain
tive words pierced the ain Of the
room where Grace Draper lay while
DR. Petit and the nurse battled
/ for her life
The infection which the physician
had dreaded had developed in her
self-infiicted dagger wound. Even
before the nurse had detected the
I presence Of the infection the giri
had uncannily realized her own
condition and had sent for me, tell
/ ing me that she was certain her
death was but a matter Of days
and wrestling from me a promise
/ that 1 would stay with her until the
: end
/ I had made her the promise,
wondering at a curious little gleam
as Of savage triumph in her eyes as
I did so. The nurse had summoned
Dr. Petit promptly. but by the time
+ he had reached the girls bedside
F she was seemingly unconscious and
/ ba billing in deliriLm.
The theme OF all her delirious
cries and mutterings was Dicky.
I She lived over again all the homely
little humorous incidents of their
long studio association. She went
with him upon the little outings
which they had taken together, and
of which / learned for the first
time from her fever-crazed lips.
Isn't this delicious salad, Dicky %
she would cry. What a magnifi-
cent view of the ocean you can get
. from here. Wouldn't Belasco envy
that moonlight effect?"
Those Who Must Listen.
Then more tender memories
would obsess her. To me. crouch
I ing in my corner, bound by my
promise to stay in the room, it
I seemed a most cruel irony of fate
( that I should be compelled TO listen
to this unfolding Of my husbands
faithlessness to me within so short
time of our tender reconciliation.
Lillian sat by my side, holding
my hand tightly in hers. She had
tried Intellectually TO get me to leave
the room when the girls delirious
mutterings began. But the remem-
| brance of the solemn promise l had
made the sick. perhaps dying, girl
held me. Even through the horror
that benumbed me I saw and Won
dered at the expression in Lillian
face She sat with her elbows on
her knees. her chin cupped in her
hands. her eyes fixed steadily upon
the tossing, muttering figure in the
bed. There was no hint of pity or
Of sympathy in her manner Her
attitude was rather that of one
studying some new species of vicious
animal.
l do not think DR. Petit knew

it. anxious because Of his impera-
tive summons by the nurse. Lii

WHEN YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO

In nearly every newspaper in the
country the housewife will find a
fair price list. This list shows what
foods are most plentiful in the local
markets each day and also gives
fair prices for them.
These prices are determined by
local committees representing whole
sale dealers. retailers. and con-
sumers. They aim 10 give the deal
er a fair profit and at the same
time 20 guard the housewife from
being exploited
But these fair price lists are a
club without A handle unless the
housewife uses them as she should.
To do this. she should clip the
fair price list as printed in her pa
per each day and take II 20 market
with her. Then. IL she is charged
prices in excess OF those quoted on
the list she should Immediately bring
this fact 20 the attention OF her
dealer II he refuses 70 sell at the
prices quoted. the housewife should
at once report him 20 her city food
administrator II there is one, or TO
