HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife

Trading on my weaknesses, aren't
you" l asked, saucily.
| That she knew my inordinate love
for anything growing and was trying
to soften my first glimpse of the in
terror of the house with a prelimi-
nary inspection of the attractive
things to- be seen out-of-doors / was
well aware, but | was also we'll con-
tent that she should have her way.
The mdeniabie charm OF the old
! place, like that of an old gentle
woman compelled by circumstances
10 wear shabby clothing, but still re-
tanning traces of her former station
, in life, was beginning to get hold of
ME, and l willingly followed Lillian
around the house, past the really
magnificent lilac hedge to a point
where one could turn ones back
upon the unsightly sheds, the dingi-
ness of the house, and look at a pic
ture that drew an exclamation of
surprised delight from me.
A Wonderful Orchard.
Directly in front of us lay an old
fashioned orchard, of the kind which
I had thought was found only in fic-
ton. Here were great gnarled trees,
at least 50 of them, with sturdy
branches, some pointing straight
upward, others stretching horizontal
" as if to invite children to fasten
swings to them. still others curving
Enthusiastically They were evidently
just ready to burst into bloom, for
there was rose tint covering them,
which upon closer inspection proved
to be the exquisitely tinted edges of
the unfoldings buds.
The ground underneath the trees
were badly cut up and trampled, but
the grass was beginning to cover its
unsightliness.
"They let the pigs in here" Mrs.
Ticer explained, "and they rooted
UP the ground. Oh, them foreign
ers is something awful when they
rent a place! They rob the land,
putting so much commercial fertil-
izer on it for their potatoes, and
they let their animals and chickens
run all over. But when they get
money enough to buy places of their
own-do they splurge then? Well,
I guessV
Il suppose it would be easy
to have some one spade and level
those places and plant grass seed" |
replied absently, for almost without
my own volition I was already deep
in dream of what the place would
look like if restored to its original
state by being tenderly cared for. l
was recalled to myself by Lillian's
amused smile, but I did not resent
it. Instead, I looked at her steadily,
and laughed significantly.

Why Madge Told Lillian She Should
Be a Real Estate Agent.

My spirits rose in spite of myself
as our little procession reached the
immense old elm which guarded the
entrance to the dilapidated house
Eext to the Ticer home. 1t had
not yet come into leaf, but there
was the hint OF coming green in its
branches, and it was so stately, so
inspiring a thing, that one could not
help a thrill of satisfaction at the
prospect of owning it.
"But only God can make tree"
| quoted softly. +.
Il thought you'd feel that way
when you got close up to this" Lii
lian said. What pity this is! But
| believe a good tree surgeon could
do wonders with this if any possible
people owned this place
"Look, mother, Auntie MadgeH
Marion called. "See what I've found.
A fairy ring
She had run to the side of the
yard near the road, about one hum
dred feet from the tree, and was
standing, a picture of childish de-
light, in the middle of a ring of
glossy green stalks from which
peeped the gold of daffodil blossoms.
The plants entirely encircled what
evidently once had been cherished
flower bed, but which was now only
weeds, the seasons crop already
large and fourishing. Only the
hardy daffodils in a grassy border
had survived the neglect of years.
One Beautiful.
They say Grandma Dacey put
those out years ago." Mrs. Ticer
said. This used to be the Dacey
farm, and folks say in those days
there wasn't a prettier place any
where around. But after Grandpa
and Grandma Dacey died the place
was sold ,and since then it's gone
from bad to worse. Poor old
Grandma Daceyl I've often thought
she'd turn in her grave if she knew
how neglected her house and yard
was. She loved the place so, and
she used to take such pride in her
neat house and her flowers"
| felt a little lump in my throat,
for there is something especially
pathetic to me in the thought of
plants and trees one has cherished
living on neglected after the one who
planted and tended them has gone
on. Surely if anything besides hui
man ties could call a spirit back to
earth it would be the flowers such
one had loved.
"Look at the lilacs, Madge," Lii
liam said, when we had waved ap-
proval at Marion's fairy ring Lets
walk around that way first. I'd like
to see the orchard"
l looked at her with smiling, COM
pretending eyes.

Weighs Too Much.

Dear Miss Fairfax: AS am a
steady reader of your column and
see you help many I thought I'd
come to you for help also. am 16
years old, s feet and 4 inches high
and weigh 154 pounds. How much
should l weigh? And how can | re-
duce my weight?
Would a pink or rose color dress
be nice for summer? I have medi-
UNI brown hair and light blue eyes.
Is Certainly" all right to say when
a boy asks you for dance? Thank
ing you, / will remain.
A READER.
A girl your height should weigh
about 125 pounds. You are consider
ably over the average but I would
have to know more about you to
guess the reason. Diet and exercise
are the natural reducers.
Pink and rose are very pretty
shades for summer dresses. 1t seems
to me if I were overweight I would
avoid such a vivid color. 1t may be
that you do not look too stout, how
ever.
Certainly" is polite reply when
a boy asks for dance, but personal
ly I like better Eyes, thank you," or
with pleasure"

His Father Objects.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am going
about with q young man, whom ]
love dearly and my love is recipro-
Gated. Our acquaintance has ex-
tended over three years. and while
his father does not know me except
by sight, he objects very seriously
to me- AS they do not speak it is
impossible to obtain an explanation
from his father. I know if he were
to give me up the father would be
happy, but we love one another too
much. What means could you sug-
gest, whereby father and son could
