HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele
RepeL tiOns of a Wife


A followed my mother-in-law and
"A little Mrs. Durkee down the hall
to Mother Graham's room. 1 paid
mental tribute to the poise of my hus-
bands mother.
In her sons own parlance, she had
proved herself 10 be a Thoroughbred,
and a ''corking good sport" BY her ac-
ton in leaving the window of Dicky's
room open, and giving him chance to
get back into HIS room unobserved by
little Mrs. Durkee. she had saved ME
from the appearance of q falsehood and
Dicky from the stigma of discourtesy
toward his little neighbor. Whether or
not she would have been so nagnani-
NOUS IL my reputation alone had been at
stake didn't permit myself to question.
It was enough for me that. in Chinese
phraseoiogy. we had saved our face"
Little Mrs. Durkee became volubIy in
coherent again as soon as we were COM
fortably seated in Mother Graham's
room.
"You needn't look at me in that re-
proachful fashion, Madge," she began.

absurd little handkerchief. II suppose

she's welcome, that's ALL"
After this childish and thoroughly
Characteristic outburst, she took refuge
in her handkerchief again. a proceeding
which relieved instead of troubled me,
for it gave me a chance to think care
fully before framing a reply to her.
Madge Insists.
That Alfred and Leila had kept the
fact of Rita Browns invitation to the
wedding secret from Her Fluffiness"
until the last possible moment because
of the little womans aversion to the girl.
I well knew. That the news had been
broken at last was very evident. The
rest of the little womans grievance I
guessed. but resolved that would feign
ignorance of the whole matter.
1 gravely produced one of Dicky's old
handkerchiefs from pocket of my bum
galow apron-I always carry one when
working around the house-and bending
over her put it in her hand.

She sat up with a jerk, as I knew she
would-long experience with my little
neighbor has given me familiarity with
her every mood and tense-and turned
indignant eyes on me.

HUMAN CURIOS
Jeremy B.nth.m.. Strange nequest

Upon the death Of Jeremy Benthar,, a
we'll known and public-spirlted resident
Of London, II was found that his Will
included several unusual clauses, HIS
body was beuucathed to his friend. Doc
tor Fordyce, to be dissected and exam
ined, in order that all possible anatoml.
cal lessons might be learned from u.
But. after dissection, Benthnm directeo
that the skeleton should be put together
and kept entire. that the head and race
should be preserved and that the whole
hgure. arranged as naturally as posi-
bic. should be attired In the clothes ne
naturally wore, seated in his own arm
chair In the attitude and aspect mos.
natural to him during life.
The nrst part Of this strange wish was
carried out to the letter. Bentham's BODY
was dissected by surgeons in the pres'
ence OF a large class Of medical students
and several interesting and important
facts were deduced from the physical
structure Of the remains. But when y
came to the preservation Of the face and
head Il was found that this could not be
accomplished without the use OF liquid
pfestrvatives.. which would impair the
appearance Of the body as a whole. for
Benthhm was not in the habit OF sittina
with n large bottle over his head. 30
carrying out tho spirit, though not ths
letter, Of the will, Doctor Talrycf
modelled a wax face on the skull of thu
dead man and the skeleton, dressed IN
the clothes which Bentham was accus'
torned to wear. may be seen to this "a,

versity College Hospital, In London.
