Revelations of a Wife
My Heart and My Husband
RI, AdoIo Go,.,-;coS.
By Adele Garrison


Little Mrs. Durkee royalty kept
the promise she had made me-.
There was no guest at the we'd
ding more cheerful than she. In
deed, the pretty bride herself was
not more radiant with happiness
than Alfred's mother appeared TO be.
and that is a strong comparison in
deed. for a happier. more beautiful
bride l have not seen since 1 watched
Katherine Sonnet plight her vows to
Jack Beckett.
I could not help but contrast the
two weddings as : stood in a posi-
ton Of vantage TO watch the cere-
mony. waiting for the bride TO de-
scend the sairs. Katherine's had
been solemnized in a corner OF Lii
lian's drawing room, with only Lii
Ian, Dicky, myself and two others
as guests Leila was to be married
in the presence Of hundreds of
guests, and the stately old home OF
her mothers people was ablaze with
lights and wonderfully decked with
boughs and blossoms.
Aunt Dora Paige moved like a
duchess among her guests. Quaint
~ attired in a heavy gray brocade,
made in the style Of a half-century
ago. with wonderful jewels flashing
at her throat. and her snowy curls
peeping from beneath a bit Of lace
I so old and exquisite that I broke
/ the tenth commandment at my first
sight Of it. she kept her delicate
fingers upon every detail, saw that
/ things moved with the smoCthneSs
she had planned.
Mother Graham and I stood beside
/ little Mrs. Durkee. Aunt Dora had
seen 10 II that Alfred's mother had
the best place of all for viewing the
ceremony. At Aunt Dora's quiet sig
nal, the orchestra, concealed in a
bower Of palms, began to play the
wedding march, and the white-rObed
/ old clergyman took his place before
the beautiful altar of green holly
boughs and dogwood blossoms. Then
she Joined us quietly, and watched
with us the crossing to the altar of
Alfred and Dicky. and the descend
ing OF the wide staircase of the
brides party.

bearing with the gravity Of major
domos, baskets of flowers. Edith
Fairfax came next. in a rose-colored
gown. and then came our dainty
bride. starry-eyed. and a dream Of
loneliness in white with the rare old
lace Of her great-grandmother'
wedding veil floating around her.
She was leaning on the arm of
her nearest male relative, DR.. Jim
Paige, and while she was radiant
with happiness. his face was white
and set, and his eyes were watching
the graceful figure OF Edith Fairfax
in front Of him. I knew that he was
waiting for the time. when, the
ceremony being over. she, the maid
Of honor. and Dicky. the best man,
would be expected 10 share each
others society for the rest of the
evening. That DR.. Jim's jealous eyes

would watch everything they said,
or did. well knew and wished the
evening over.
The stately little procession moved
on, met Alfred and Dicky and the
old minister at the bower bedecked
altar. And then, as the clergyman
began intoning the solemn words Of
the wedding service, there came 10
me so vivid a recollection Of my own
wedding days that 1 closed my eyes
for an involuntary instant, shivering
slightly. The delirious yet solemn
moments OF that years-gone cere-
mony came back to me with a poig-
nant feeling. which was neither Joy
nor grief, but had in it the elements
of both.
II pronounce you, THE old cler-
gyman began, and 1 opened my eyes
TO see Dicky gazing across at me.
There was that I'm his eyes which
made my heart leap with happiness,
message which told me that he,
also, had not forgotten.
So little it takes to renew
woman's faith, TO bolster anew her
happiness! Edith Fairfax, Jim
Paige, Mai. Grantland. all other
complications, faded from my vision.
Nothing mattered save that Dicky
also remembered. that even in this
tense moment his thoughts were
with me.
The clergyman's voice ceased, and
Alfred swept his bride into his arms
and kissed her. Then the old min
lister offered his congratulations. and
Leila, with radiant face. turned to
her sister. Edith's face had sud-
denly grown pallid, and for a pitiful
moment she chung 20 her young sis
ter convulsively. Then she released
her. and smiled bravely, as Leila
turned TO Dicky and DR.. Jim, wait
ing TO congratulate her.
With a swift descent from the
heights where my spirit had been
soaring. I turned TO little Mrs. Dur
kee at my side. I had completely
forgotten her and wondered with a
bit of panic whether she would be
able TO carry out TO the last the
promise she had given me TO show
no sorrow at Alfred's wedding.
Thus far she had been gay and
cheerful. Would she be able to keep
it up?

Shopping seems TO be leading in indoor
sports these days!
Men. women and children are crowding
the shops, gift-hunting. In spite Of the
repeated warnings to shop early" II
seems as If the general public procrasti-
mated zen masse'' and today we find the
toy departments and Christmas card
counters together with various other pop
ular sections, IN clamOring chaos. In
fact. shopping traffic is becoming so con-
gested that one department store manager
declares that traffic rules will have to be
laid down with stop and start signals.
There is no doubt that many head-on
collisions would be avoided If persons
stopping suddenly would merely hold out
their arms.
LITTLE WONDER FOLKS

However, it is not surprising that folk
do not shop earlier when you glimpse the

each season there is a run on certain
gifts. This year among the simpler
gifts that are having a riotous run of
popularity are the black sateen hand
