WHAT MRS. DURKEE SAID TO

MADGE.
Dicky and Alfred Durkee spent a
long, busy afternoon over the manu-
script OF the novel which Mr.. Dur
kee wished Dicky 10 illustrate. With
an abaundant allowance Of pipe to-
baccO and cigars. with their feet
elevated TO the sun parlor windows,
while their bodies rested luxuriOusly
upon the base OF their spines in the
easy veranda chairs they read and
rebated with the gusto OF men re-
suming congenial work after a long
enforced absence.
Alfred Durkee has an unusual
reading voice, and he likes the sound
Of il almost as we'll as Dicky likes
to listen 20 him. In fact, Dicky al
ways lazily asserts that he can get
the spirit of "A manuscript much bet
ter from hearing IL read than from
perusing IL himself-many the man
uscript in the pre-war days WI ich
read aloud TO him-so all through
the afternoon the novel the noted
author had written was clothed with
dramatic beauty by Alfred Durkee's
voice.
1 should have liked nothing better
than the opportunity Of sitting quiet
ly In a corner while the reading and
the discussion went on. 1t would
have been a rare treatt TO me-in-
deed. | always have the sitting-at-
the feet-of- Ciamaliel spirit when

but the inexorable laws of court

For little Mrs Durkee was not
only patiently bored by the discus
sion, but / knew from experience
that her presence had the same eff
l.. 81,
fussy, noisy, little canary. There
were times when they loved to have
her with them, but not when they
wished to concentrate their minds
upon a subject.
Il say Madge." Alfred Durkee
looked up from the third page of
the manuscript, which had been
punctuated his mothers ingenious
comments upon a wide variety of
topics, cant you lead the mater
gently up to your bOo-drOrer and
turn her loose on clOthers or some
thing like that while I'm reading
this? Goodness knows 1 love and
revere her, but 1 always prefer wor-
shipping her from afar when I've
any business on hand
You needn't thing 1 care any
thing about your horrid old story,
his mother declared with affected
petulance, but real good nature, ris-
ing with alacrity and shaking out
her fluffy draperies. IT'S dull as

tograph He looks too la-de-da for
anything. Come along, Madge, I'm
dying to talk clothes I haven't had
anything new for ages, and I'm plan
ming how to fix over my old ones.
Maybe we can swap"
The laughter of our men followed
us up the stairs-when Mrs. Dur
kee talks her childish nonsense she
is irresistible in her appeal TO the
risibles-made my friend toss her
head defiantly.
Connected things" she muttered.

Philanthropy
Library Reflects
Rejoicing Interest
in Decoration

Intensive interest manifested In
the series Of photographs OF colonial
interiors by Wallace Nutting on dis
play at the library gives evidence
Of two Of the present popular trends
OF thought-the revival Of interest
in things historical and the awaken
ed interest in the home beautiful
The pictures have been displayed
as a feature Of February. the colonial
month, and are still Of timely in
terest in view OF the lectures on
interior home planning to be given
this week by Ross Crane.
The interiors shown in the pic
lures have been arranged by Mrs.
Wallace Nutting for her talented
husband and are correct to the
minutest detail. They represent the
various rooms in early New England
colonial homes and in the southern
colonial homes, too. Special atten-
ton is paid to paneling effects, to
stairways, 10 door hinges, TO cor
ner cupboards 10 the arrangement
OF furniture in the rooms, and to
the kitchen with its array Of uten-
sis. The pictures are of value as
much from an historical point of
view as they are from the interior
decoration angle.
Another interesting display which
has attracted much attention dur
ing the past month is an arrange
ment of cOlored postcards Of famous
colonial homes such as those show
ing the much admired doorways of
Chestnut St, Salem, Mass, and views
Of the Lee mansion in Marblehead,
Mass.
That South Blenders have awak-
is growing keen throughout the en-
tire nation is evidenced by the de-
mand for historical books and bio
graphies, according to the librarians.
The reading is directed to a large
extended toward history which will
form a background for current
events. 1t is interesting to note, too,
that in the case Of the past month
the demands has been not so much
for the records of the public life of
Washington as for his home life and
environment. Early stories and
poems come in for their share of
attention, too.
And the library is able to meet
all demands.

LOOKED BAD
Kansas Farmer Didn't Think He

II was Just about laid out alto
gether and I had tried all sorts of
medicine but it seemed that nothing
would reach my case. My stomach
was in an awful fix, I never wanted
to eat much of anything and what l
did force down seemed to do me more
harm than good. Malaria was all
thru my system and at times 1 had
pains all over my body 1 was badly

the time. I was subject to terrible
headache spells and at times was so
dizzy l had to careful or l would fall
right in my tracks 1 was too nervous
to ever sleep well and felt so weak
a-fd listless all day long that L Just
was able to get around the house
little, much less hit a lick of work
of any kind.
"A little more than two months ago
started taking Tanlac and it has
put me back in fine shape feeling
like my old self again. I have cork
ing good appetite and can eat any
thing I ever could without a sign of
indigestion. I am not constipated
now, and am never bothered with
headaches or dizzy spells. The ma
laria has all been driven out of my
system and I never feel bilious or
have that mean taste in my mouth
now. l feel we'll strong and healthy
