Revelations of a Wife
Their Second Honeymoon
ADELE GARRISON

one OF the best Iuncheons that Bet
queen of cooks ever served.
Lillian adjourned our little party Of
four To the library. and then, ON the
pretence OF showing Leila some
etchings OF which the girl had spok-
en-, left Edith and me in the seclu
sion of the library.
For If ever eyes asked uncOn-
sciously for mercy, the heavily
fringed. wistful, brown orbs OF
Edith Fairfax lifted shyly to mine,
craved that boon. Curiously enough
there came 70 me a vivid recollec-
ton of a little high school pupil
OF mine-a slight. tmid child. whose
eyes always held such a lock when
she had failed in a recitation. And
with the recollection Of the jealous
anger that had been mine toward
ing understanding.
For, while humiliation and regret
swept over her expressive face,
have dealt with girls often enough
to realize that in the wild rose coun-
tenance upturned to mine there was
no shame. no guilt. This girl had
never wantonly injured me, could
never do so. But that she loved
Dicky, deeply. hopelessly, 1 was
sure.
One impulse urged me to spare
her, to keep the interview upon the
plane Of imLersonal friendliness
upon which Lillian had cannily ar
ranged the luncheon. But the rest
less, jealous craving TO know what
my husband was doing. a knowledge
which some psychic impulse warn
ed me this girl possessed, fixed me
in the resolve to find out everything
/ could from her
But the method of introducing the
subject puzzled me sOrely. I had
meant to be outspoken, blunt. to
waste no words and to demand the
knowledge I asked, as a right.
Edith Fairfax's delicate, high bred
personality, however, warranted no
such methods. To treat her thus
would be like applying the rod to
shrinking child.
/ didn't realize that I was regard
ing her rather steadily, until l saw
her hands clasp and unclasp them
selves nervOusly, her delicate face
flush holly.
"Oh, Mrs. Graham!" she burst out
! passionately, IF you've anything to
say TO me because I went to see Mr.
Graham. please say il quickly. But,
indeed, indeed, l don't think you
would be angry if / could only tell
you all about it."

BY the time I reached the library
the irony OF the contrast between
what / had expected Capt Grant

sation with him had penetrated my
dazed consciousness. and sank
upon the nearest couch in a parax-
ysm Of hysterical laughter.
Lillian hurriedly came over to

sternly. emp hasizing the command
with a little shake from the firm
hands she had laid upon my shout

effective. and l was soon able to
give the explanation due her. but
which she was too considerate to ask
of me.
She listened intently as I related
my telephone interview with Capt

keen sense of humor must have ap-
preciated the varying viewpoints

HELP TO MAKE RICHMOND
WHAT IT Is.
An Appeal To tolorcd Citizens.

Every colored citizen is vitally in
,crcstcd in the growth of the city of
Richmond. Larger the population we
can have credited to Richmond at this
time by the Government, moro promi
ncnt will be our city in the eyes Of
those beyond our borders and most in
spring to our citizens.
Every citizen who knows he has not
been listed in the recent census can
contribute much to the good of Rich
mond by sending his name to the Of
flee Of THE PLANET, which would
insure, as far as possible, none of our
citizens failing to be counted.
THE PLANET has arranged with
the Government to list all such names
and earnestly appeals to every colored
citizen, if in their mind there is the
slightest doubt they were not listed,
to report this information at once.
This is your city and you should do
everything possible to make it II more
prospcrc"o and happier place in which
to live. Growth and prosperity is most
helpful in this regard

Lincoln JolrnSon's Big Victory.

Henry Lincoln johnson won a big
and notable victory. He seated his
delegation and afterwards was elected
National Committeeman from his
state, Georgia. For a brief while there
were dark rumors floating about to the
effect that Henry Lincoln had sold
out the race in an ovcrweening desire
to get delegate seat in convention
1t was afterward revealed that the
"dclcgatc seat was an essential phase
OF the johnson plan of strategy to
land the national comniittceship
When this fact was discovercd-and it
was not discovered until the rcdoubt-
able Lincoln had the bacon safely
lodged in his political bag-~hc at once
bounded back into the limclight as
the best that ever came down the
pike" with the brethren.
