MY HEART AND MY HUSBAND ADELE GARRIsON's NEW PHASE OF
 Revelations of a Wife

on one side, Harriet and me on the other, however, which must be ex- p1ained before very long. Katherine was too shrewd a woman not to sus- pect that this meeting the Braith- wa1tes at our home was not the ac- cident I had made it appear. She Was Justified in resenting the fact, even though she did not understand it, and l saw by the expression in her big brown eyes that her bewilderment at the bizarre situation in which she found herself was beginning. to, be punctuated with wrath.
 . Words of Understanding
 That Harriet Braithwaite read the expression in her eyes correctly, I knew by the quick, shrewd glance she flung at her. The next moment the eyes of my law met mine, and there was a distinct promise in them that she would do her best to make things right with Katherine as soon she could.
 I blessed Marion for the Aggression she created at this moment by danc- ing in, exclaiming:
 ftSse who's come to see you. Just look here!''
 Behind her Katie walked proudly, leading Junior by the hand-an ador- able. wide-eyed Junior, smiling en- gagingly as Katherine knelt down be- fore him and tactfully made friends with him. When he had graciously allowed Katherine to cuddle him and had obliging1y aired the ha1f-dozen words of his vocabulary and his col lection of baby airs and graces for her benefit, he slipped resolutely from her arms, toddled over to his grandmother and tugged at her skirt.
 ''G'anzie. 'Tory!" he demanded imperiously.

 My dear." Harriet struck in gravely, there is an explanation due to you, but it is I, not Margaret, who should make it. Will you listen to me without comment, and forgive me. if you can, afterward?"
 Katherine inclined her head grave ly, but did not speak. As for me, I held my breath. How could a proud woman like Harriet Braithwaite en- dure making the confession of her own weak imaginings which she must contemplate?
 When she spoke. however, it was with such simplicity. such rare un- derstanding. such royal apology, that Katherine, tenderest of women. csupit- ulated long before she had finished. With tears trembling upon. her eye lashes, she moved involuntariIy toward the elder woman, and the story was finished with the three of us standing close together with inter- twined arms.
 1T told your husband this same story. child.'' Harriet Braithwaite finished, and I believe was ab1e to remove that horrible. obsessing jeal- ousy from his brain. I-1-thi1l k perhaps you may be--happier-be- cause of this little ruse we have played"
 'T am sure of it." Katherine said softly. kissing her, then she raised her eyes to mine and there was full for giveness and understanding in their depths.
