Revelations of a Wife
BY ADELE GARRISON

l had never seen woman so perfectly
poised. Her reserve would be hard &c
break through, I inwardly commented,
even though her refusal to take the
bus confirmed the opinion / had form
ed as to her need of money.
AS she swung off down the village
street with her travelling bag in her
hand l had quick, vague vision of
soldier CALAMITY facing an almost
hopeless battle. There was something
about her which appealed strongly to
my sympathies, although to the care
less eye no one could look less in
need Of sympathy.
l waited quietly on the station plat
form until Dicky rejoined me.
Her names Draper" he said. 1.-The
station agent doesn't know much
about her, except that she visits a
sister, Mrs. German, here every sum
mer. He never saw her here in the
winter before. l got Mrs. Germans
address, 329 Shore road. called Shore
road because 1t never gets anywhere
near the shore. Much good the ad-
dress will do me, though. Queer she
! didn't take the bus. 1t must be a mile
to her sisters home. She's probably
one OF those walking bugs"
"She didn't take the bus because
she could not afford it, l said quietly.
Dicky stared at me in amazement
How do you know" he said finally.
DO you know her? No, of course you
don't. But how in CREATION
Listen, Dicky," I interrupted Il
have turned too many dresses of my
own not to recognize makeshifts when
l see them. Everything that girl has
on except her stockings and gloves
has been remodeled from her old stuff
Her pumps are not suitable at all for
walking; they are evening pumps, of
a style two years old at that. But she
has covered them with spats, so / Al
no one will suspect that she wears
them from necessity, not choice"
well, I'll be-" Dicky uttered his
favorite expletive. " 1t takes one NO
the readiest kind of ready money to
me. Why, say. If what you say is
trne, she ought to be glad to earn
the money could pay for her posing
could get her lots of other work,
too"
Perhaps she wouldn't like TO do
that sort of thing"
What sort of thing? What's wrong
with it," Dicky asked beligerentl.
ooh, you mean figure posing. She
wouldn't have to do that at all if she
didn't want to. Plenty of good nudes.
It's the intangible. high-bred look and
ability to wear clothes well that's
hard to get"
We had walked past the implanted
little shack that but for the word
Marvin in large letters painted
across one end of it would never have
been taken for a railroad station.
Without looking where we were going
we found ourselves In front of an i'm.
mense poster on a large board bach
of the station. The letters upon il
were visible yards.
Marvin" it read, 1.-The prettiest,
quaintest village on the south shore
Please don't judge the town by the
station"
He took my arm. and turned me
away from the billboard toward a
wide, dusty road winding away from
the station to the eastward.
But. Dicky, protested II thought
you wanted to see about securing that
girl as q model
ooh, that can wait" Dicky said care.
lessly. My heart sang as l slipped ms"
arm in Dicky's. 1t was going to be an
enjoyable day after all.
