MY HEART AND MY HUSBAND ADELE GARRISON'S NEW PHASE OF
 Revelations of a Wife

said with quick unreasonin2 shit
 of opinion. Leila Was really Quite
 decent about asking my advice about
 things and she brought a sample of
 everything up for me to see if it
 would do before she finished it, and
 she didn't do half bad for d beginner.
 but l suppose now shell be so cocky
 thcre'H be no living with her,
 l bathed her face and hands with
 out replying and brought her ;t glass Of the iced orange juice which W;ts
 her faNoritr beverage. There Was no
 t;ac talking to her. saw that hesidcs her maternal jealousy her vanity haG been sorely wounded by Lcila'S un~ doubted skill in preserving. It would be hard task for the girl To regain he undouDtcd liking with which little Mrs. Durkce had regarded her at iirsr.
 With d little hot feeling of ndigrn- )ion | wondered whether it were. worth the girls while to make the effort. She had made strenuous cf- forts to please her pr6spGCtiNr mother-in-law, and l knew from AL fred's face as he had staIked out oI his mothers room that his sympn- thics were au with his sweetheart.
 Poor little Mrs Durkec, She hat thrown the game she was playing and a pitiful. petty game it Was. too : directly in1o the hands of the girl she { had constrained unWillingly to be her 1 opponent. What would Leila do wjtil 1 her victory,
 Whether by accident or design. i Leila made no reference to preserves ; for two or three days and brought no more samples for her prospective i m other-in-law to try. Her manner wa in ite but l thought 1 detected a withdrawal of the warm hearted cnth uSiaSm which had characterized her before Little Mrs. Durkee. never very subtle was frankly puzzled, and I watched with amusement her efforts to solve i the problem.
 What Leila Did
 The speculation did her good and, as Alfred while courteous and attcn- tive to her, carried around with him an unmiSta kable ''srouch. l think the little woman grew really alarmed at last for fear that she had gone too far. r
 One morning I came into the up stairs hall just as Leila was taking |, breakfast tray to Mrs. Durkee. She did not see me and | saw her stop and peer into the room before she en- tered. Behind her 1 could see what she was seein g-the reflection of nay little neighbor in her big pier glass.
 It was a Wocbegone little face re- fected therC--one from which it's owner was Wiping away a furtive tear. I saw Leila nod her head emphatical- l y. as if she had just settled some thing in her own mind. and when sEc i had greeted me and left Mrs. Durlee and her breakfast tray in my care, she rushed back to the kitchen.
 When she came back Alfred WAS with her, looking bit sheepish. as is he masculine custom when dragged nto purely feminine controversy.
 My dear" Leila began ViVaciouSly. will you please discipline this son of ours? He's been raving for days ,bout that delicious chil sauce you especial favorite-and he insisted that he had helped you make { often enough to be able to tell me 1ow so that we could surprise you with your winters supply. He even las all of the things piled up in the l;tchen. Will you tell him to get out ,f the way and then will you tell mo, step by step, just how you do it?'
 Little Mrs. Durkee's eyes sparkleG. .
 Kiss me, Ali, and run along" she aid succinctlN. "kow, Leila, you ake your tomatOes--'
 I slipped out of the room. all of my iouhts to the future happiness of leila and Alfred and my little neigh DOT vanishing into thin air. The gen : lC Virginia a girl fight not be able to paint canvases that would live, but I paid tribute to her as d genuine artist when confronted with her life canvas.
