REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By AnELE GARRISON

Please thank Mme. Hofer for me I said, "and leave the wine. I don't care for it with this course. I will serve myself later.'' .e. With a sudden impulse, the origin of which 1 did not stop to analyze, I raised my eyes swiftly, unexpectedly, and looked at the people at the other table. Every pair of eyes there was gazing at me intently, and I fancie,1 I saw a tensity of expectation in them.
 What it all meant I didn't know The thought that the wine might be drugged crossed my mind, but I laughed at myself even as I thought of it, the idea seemed so wildly melo- dramatic
 Where's Pete?
 A whimsical recollection of Tom Sawyer and the crack in the floor which he fed with pain killer flashed into my mind in the utterly incon1pre- hensible way in which fancies come. But it stayed with me. I wondered if in some way I couldn't pretend to drink the wine and then watch care fully the actions of Mne. Hofer and her guests.
 Such a trick was impossible how ever under the furtive, watching eyes of the men and women at the other table. I thought hard for asmoment then summoned the waiter lowering near
 1T think I would like to finish my dinner at one of the little tables on the veranda,'' I said, giving as good an imitation as I could of a bored woman with a, sudden caprice to gra,t- fly. Please take the wine out there, and bring my salad and berries and coffee to me there"
 I handed him a piece of silver as spoke. His show of gratitude didn't hide the consternation in his eyes.
 "I am afraid madame vii not ne comfortable out there,' he stammered.
 "1 will be the judge of that" I re- turned curtly. Please bring the things at once.
 Conscious that every eye WAS fol- lowing me, l preceded the disa pproy- Ing waiter to the veranda resolving to choose table which should not be directly beneath a window There was another reason for my decision to transfer the location of my table than my wish to camoufiage my abstinence from Mme. Hofer's wine. I had a dis tlnct longing for the sight of Pete's jaw and powerful frame
 But when I reached the veranda. Pete was nowhere to be seen

print, the words that he now yearned for the words that he would willing " have died for, and the now beloved country that he was doomed never to see.
 Interwoven through this is a mo- t1arn theme, which tells the story of John Alton, a worldly Am erican Nv- ing in New York just prior to the entrance of America into the world war. Alton, who is a pacifist, is en- ga ged to the daughter of Phineas Blair the head of a pacifist society. Barbara the daughter is intensely pa. triotic when she sees that Alton will not change his views after her brother Tom has enlisted, Barbara breaks the engagement and sails to France as a Red Cross nurse. This part of "The Man Without Coun- try" is very thrillingly told, and the similarity between the two men. Philip Nolan, of old, and this modern Philip Nolan, presents a picture that should be seen by all.

Why Madge Transferred Her Lunch
 con to a Veranda Table.

The vague menace I had sensed when I faced the crowd of Teutonic celebrants in the inn dining room seemed to hover over me all through the elaborate luncheon which l had ordered because of my wish to have plenty of time to watch tho metamo or phosed windmill.
 That any one of the group of per sons at the next table could cheerfully have Wrung my neck I was sure. Their faces were dark and lowering, the few glances I encountered hostile, al- though they were careful to keep their eyes averted from me.
 If I hadn't been so uneasy l could have laughed at the painful precision and diction of their English. They were evidently trying to erase the inn pression of gabbling sutturals which I had heard when I first stepped into the dining room. And their conver sation was as innocuous as that to be heard at child's birthday party.
 The woman in whose blouse I had seen the edge of the German flag peeping had evidently seized the first oppontunity when my eyes were turned away from her to tuck the em blenl completely out of sight. At any rate. no vestige of it was to be seen when next I looked at her. But if the glance of an eye could slay, l should never have finished my l11ncheon

X Disconcerting Thought.

I tried to persuade myself that the vague terror I felt creeping over me was only a figment of my imagination. The black looks of the people at the next table didn't alarm me. But the fact that the ferret faced youth who had consulted his notebook ana showed it to his neighbor had left the dining room a few moments later did disturb me- I was obsessed with the idea that his patent excitement When he had looked over the written pages had concerned mo.

 In the days of our mothers and fathers, it was the rule and not the exception for young married people to lave children in the first years of their married life. The babies cam and the fathers and mothers adjust cd their lives to them as a matter of course.
 They Don't Want to Be Tied Down
 And then a wiser generation came along. And they said that it was too bad to be tied down by children at once. They wanted companion- ship for a while. By and by" they would like to have children. but not ItSI yet. Ana so they organized InelT lives on that basis and. when the first two or three years they had claimed for themselves had passed, many Of them found (li<e the woman of whom I write) that their lives had sci in that form. that the idea of a change was repugnant to them that readjustment seemed a difficult even impossible task.
