REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

things, but to which I've grown ac-
 customed. I wonder som metimes,
 whether or not this lowering of my standards of decorum in speech has
 been good for me.
 ''But let's get back on the job,' Lillian went on brisl1Iy "Of course, you're wondering why I put poor old William through such a tremendous catechism, but when I tell you that this letter is addressed to MT. Richard Graham, instead of to Mrs, you will
 realize that I didn't want to take any chances on opening it unless I con- frmed my first opinion that your mother-in-law sent it here purposely,
 intending that you should open it" 'eThe Same Handwriting.''
 But why should open it ?" I stam-
 mered, all my ethical code upset at
 this cool proposition to open a private letter addressed to my husband. "Shocked?" Lillian asked lightly,
 but there was a note behind the light
 ness that suddenly made me feel hu-
 inflated. After all, it was Lillian who ! was proposing to open the letter
 Lillian, who, in all my knowledge of her, had never done anything which wasn't perfectly honorable
 T would be if it were anyone but you who proposed it," I answered
 truthfully, "but I know you have some
 good reason for your proposal"
 "The best my dear" she returned laconically. '"The superscription on
 this letter is in the same handwriting as those beastly anonymous things 1 which caused you so much pain" Her words almost made me feel l faint, for they recalled the terror and 4I, anonymous epistles to which she re- ! ferred-clippings purporting to tell me of the shameful death of my father. Because of Harry Underwood's CO., vert assurance that the anonymous threats, which he tacitly admitted came from the hand of Grace Draper, had not been carried out, I had expe- rienced some alleviation of the keen anguish which the clippings had brought to me. But enough of the un- certainty of my fathers fate remained to make me tremble all over at this new manifestation of Grace Draper's undying ennity to me.
 I put out my hand impetu ously. Lillian laid the envelope in it, and I scanned it searchingly.
 Yes, there was no mistake. The
 superscription was in the same un- 1oI1Heu cldTdcIeTS, eVldently those or
 a child, that had marked the enve-
 lopes enclosing the series of anony- nous clippings. I couldn't repress a gleam of admiration for the cleverness
 of Grace Draper. She had sent cheap envelopes to me, counting on a wom- ans curiosity to open the ill-favored things. But she evidently knew Dicky's careless ways we'll enough to
 know that he might toss aside the cheap envelope, so she had chosen the
 distincttvely feminine costly paper for the turing of his eyes.

 The reason VinOl was so successful in Mrs. Parker's case, is because it contains the necessary elements to create an appetite, aid digestion, make pure blood and create strength. It is the beef and cod liver peptones- iron and glycerophosphates in Ninol-- that does it--you will not be disap- pointed if you try it.

AIT THE LYCEJNi.

There is a tradition, is there not, that 'I told you so'' is a very objec- tionable thing to say, or to infer?
 There is also a tradition that women are more apt to be guilty thereof than men.
 I have acquired an idea recently whence and why those traditions arose.
 A group of us were talking the other day on the all-absorbing subject Of domestic help. Four women had told of their difficulties and the difficulties of neighbors and friends in getting the same, and the large wages they had to pay.
 She Didn't Darc to Tell Him Herself.
 "WeH." sighed one woman who had been listening to this testimony, I'd like my husband to hear all that. Why, We were speaking about maids the other day and he said this talk about their being so hard to get and about their getting high wages was all non- sense. I'd give anything if he could have been herc.''
 "Why don't you tell him ?" asked someone.
 "Oh, 1 couldn't do that. He'd say I was tryin to say l told you so," said the other woman. In other Words if a man pooh hoohs a woman's opinions, and then a woman gets proof that her opinions are right, she mustn't bring that proof to him because that is saying, T told you so.'
 He Objected to Her Proving Her Point
 All of which reminds me of little experience I had last summer. A man and a woman had an argument about a story which both had seen in news paper a few days before. She declared that it said one thing, he another Finally she procured a copy, substnn- tiating her claim and showed it to him.

They are eagerly watching the mails for letters from their sons and for press reports. No official mo- tices have been received by any of the relatives of these soldiers. The parents relatives and friends hope that those not heard from yet live. and are still beating the enemy back.
