My HEART and
NV HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase Of
Revelations
of q Wife
What Happened After Rita Brown
Went to Telephone

"Sht W ASASPaAShS"
Here's your drug shop"
Alfred swung the car to the side
of the road, drew up in front of a
village pharmacy as if he had been
driving a car for years.
SAnd here's your mazume." He
held out bill.
"Oh, don't want thatl III only
have to get it changed" Rita Brown
spoke petulantly. surmised that
she was glad of an excuse to vent
her resentment against Alfred Dur
kee.
ALLOW me, old dear" Dicky
sprang to his feet, held out some
silver to the girl, then opened the
door and assisted her to the ground
with a sweeping flourish Of his hat.
MAY l assist you in telephoning,
hold the receiver to your shell-like
ear or any little thing like that? |
should so like to help you" Dicky's
voice expressed the most elaborate
concern.
wished that he would forego his
love of teasing in this particular in
stance, for the girls eyes were
smoldering with wrath. She was in
no mood for pleasantly of any de-
scription.
Dicky Would Bet.
She had accepted the silver coins
with cool crisp Thank you" She
turned on Dicky now with look
that spelled anger rising almost to
the danger point.
Suppose you close your trap and
bolt i'll" she said raucously with a
reversion to the type from which l
suspected she had been bred, and,
turning upon her heel, walked
haughtily into the drug store.
Dear chee-ldl I'm so afraid she's
upset about something" Dicky's
face was like an undertaker's, his
voice = piping falsetto. "What can
it be? Allie, you naughty, naughty
boy, why didn't you let her have the
seat by your side?"
Alfred spread his hands toward
Leila, nodded his head smiiingly, but
vouchsafed no other answer. The
Virginia girls cheeks We'd in color
with the berries she had been hulling
before the ride. Dicky regarded her
quizzically. | was afraid he would
make some other, teasing remark to
her, rose to my feet quickly, seizing
the first excuse | could think of to
divert Dicky's attention.
"Oh, Dicky. there's a display of
those rubbers for the canning jars
which mother and Mrs. Durkee
wanted so much! See, in that gro
Gerry window. We couldn't get them
in the Marvin stores. Let's hurry.
We can get them by the time Miss
Brown finishes her telephoning."
= Anything to oblige you, petty
dear" When Dicky is in teasing
Nmood he generally invents some
ridiculous pet name" with which to
address me, knowing my adherence
of public endearments. But as we
walked toward the grocery store he
dropped his affected manner ab-
ruptly. =
BET you a flyer we see the last
rof Her Grace of Greenwich to-
night" he said in a voice meant for
my ear only.
What do you mean" I asked
startled.
What I say. She'll fly the coop
tonight"
tBut she's made all plans to stay
days longer"
THAT was when she still had an
idea she might cop old ALI out when
he wasn't looking, or had forgotten
to cross his fingers. But she isn't
quite bone from her neck up, you
know and anybody who wasn't solid
ivory above the shoulder blades
, would deduce from our Allies little
performance this afternoon that he
was quite fed up on the Rita Brown
proposition, and intended to cast his
glances in another direction"
Has Dicky Intuition7
I gave an impatient little sigh at
Dicky's atrocious slang, but | had
learned wisdom with the years and
didn't voice my irritation. Instead
L QeVOteu my Hlllu 10 tie hlCHtoi
translation of his jargon.
"You really think he's attracted
by Leila?" l asked eagerly, forget
ting Rita Brown for the moment in
this hint of a romance.
Dicky cast a whimsical glance at
me.
i"Oh, no he doesn't know she's on
earth" he began teasingly, then alb
ruptly changed his manner.
II don't remember ever seeing old
Alf quite so sitting up and taking
quite so much notice." he said re-
fectively. II only hope the Fair
faxes won't 60 when the Brown de-
parts"
What makes you think she's 60
ing?" I persisted.
'Intutition, life-of-me-heart. |
know as we'll as if l were listening
TO her that she's arranging with
somebody in dear old Greenwich viii
lage to send her an urgent summons
nome tonight"
