Pity the Poor Post Adiutant

~ Ivy I4Ao 1oOI 1VSC x4OJUCd0t
Pity the poor Post Adjutant. If he
writes a letter, it's too long-if it 3
a postal, it's too short. If he attends
committee meeting, he's butting in
if he stays away, he's a shirker. If
the crowd is slim at the meeting, he
should have called up some Of the
members-if he calls them up, he a
pest. If he duns a member for his
dues, he's insulting he doesn It COL
lect them, he gets razzed. If an enter
tainment is bowling success, the en-
tertainment committee is praised-if
it's failure, the adjutant is to blame.
If he asks for suggestions, he's ar IN
competent-if he doesn't he's bull
headed. Ashes to ashes and dust to
dust, if others won't do it, the adju-
tant must.

 of course that ain't all she said but l remember this part particular on account of what happened after ward. You see-your ma-she felt awful bad. She cried little, an sighed q lot, an said she'd try, she really would try 10 help her husband in every way she could; an she wouldn't ask him another once, not once, to stay with her An she wouldn't look sour an cross, either She'd promise she wouldn't. An she'd try, shed try, oh, so hard, to be proper an dignifed.

 "Then, pretty quick after that, she began to get acquainted in the town.

She told him she was shocked an scandalized that he could talk to his wife like that; an didn't he have any more regard for her honor an decency than to accuse her of run r1n' after any man living-much less dozen of them An then she told him a lot of what his mother had said to her. an she said she had been mere ly tryin' to carry out those instruc- tions. She was tryin' to make her husband an her husbands wife an her husbands home popular with the college folks, so she could help him to be president, if he wanted 10 be. But he answered back, cold an chilly, that he thanked her, of course, but he didn't care for any more of that kind of assistance; an if she would give little more time to her home an her housekeepin', as she ought to, he would be considerably better pleased. An she said, very well, she would see that he had no further cause to complain. An the next minute l met her in the hall, as just said, her head high and her eyes blazin'.

just to see what would happen. But things got in an awful muddle right away, so that even Father noticed 1t and said things. After that Mother never tried again, l guess. Anyhow, she's never tried it since l can remem- her. She's always stayed most of the time up in her rooms in the east wing. except during meals, or when she went out with me, or went to the things she and Father had to go to together. For they did go 10 lots of things, Nurse says.
 It seems that for a long time they didn't want folks to know there was going to be divorce. So before folks they tried to be just as usual. But Nurse Sarah said she knew there was going to be one long ago. The first l ever heard of it was Nurse telling Nora, the girl we had in the kitchen then; and the minute got chance asked Nurse what ii was-a divorce.
 My, can remember now how scared she looked, and how she clapped her hand over my mouth. She wouldn't
 
 tell me-not word. And that's the first time ever saw her give that quick little look over each shoulder. She's done II lots of times since.
 AS l said, she wouldn't tell me so l had to ask some one else. l wasn't going to let it go by and not find out not when Nurse Sarah looked so scared, and when it was something my father and mother were going 10 have some day.
 didn't like to ask Mother. Some way, l had a feeling, from the way Nurse Sarah looked, that It was some thing Mother wasn't going to like. And thought If maybe she didn't know yet she was going to have it, that certainly l didn't want to be the one to tell her. So I didn't ask Mother what divorce was.
 didn't even think of asking Fath- CT, of course. l never ask Father questions. Nurse says l did ask him once why he didn't love me like other papas loved their little girls. But was very little then, and don't remem- Der 1t at all. But Nurse said Father didn't like 1t very well. and maybe did remember that part, without real ly knowing It. Anyhow, never think of asking Father questions
 asked the doctor first thought maybe twas some kind of disease, and If he knew it was coming, he could give them some sort of medi- cine to keep 1t away-like being vac cinated sos not 10 have smallpox, you know. And l told him so.
 He gave funny little laugh that somehow didn't sound like laugh at all. Then he grew very, very sober. and said:
 I'm sorry, little girl but I'm afraid ! haven't got any medicine that will prevent-a divorce. If did have, there'd be no eating or drinking or sleeping for me I'm thinking-Id be 50 busy answering my calls"

CHAPTER III
The Break Is Made,

And that's the way Nurse Sarah finished her story, only she shrugged her shoulders again, and looked back, her calling me "chatterboX she al ways calls me that when she's been doing all the talking
 As near as l can remember 1 have told Nurse Sarah's story exactly as she told it to me, in her own words. But of course I know I didn't get IL right all the time, and l know I've left out quite lot. But, anyway, it's told d whole lot more than 1 could have told why they got married in the first place, and it brings my story right up to the point where l was born and I've d. ready told about naming me, and wha! q time they had over that.
 Of course what's happened since, up to now. don't know all about, for 1 was only child for the first few years. Now I'm almost young lady, "standing with reluctant feet wheEv the brook and river meet" q read that last night. think it's perfectly beautiful. So kind of sad and sweet. It makes me want to cry every time l think of it.) But even if don't know all of what's happened since l was born, I know good deal, for I've seen quite a lot, and I've made Nurse tell me a lot more.
 know that ever since l can remem- Der I've had to keep as still as mouse the minute Father comes Into the house; and know that l never could imagine the kind of mother that Nurse tells about, if 1t wasn't that sometimes when Father has gone off on trip, Mother and l have romped all over the house, and had the most beautiful time. l know that Father says that Mother is always trying to make me Marie" and nothing else 1; and that Mother says she knows Fatherll never be happy until he's made me into a stupid little Mary" with never an atom of life of my own. And, do you know? it does seem sometimes, as If Mary and Marie were fighting inside of me, and l wonder which is going to beat. Funny, isn't iti
 Father Is president of the college now, and don't know how many stars and comets and things he's discOv- cred since the night the star and were born together. But l know he's very famous. and that he's written up in the papers and magazines, and is iD the big fat red Who's Who" in the library, and has lots of noted men come to see him.
 Nurse says that Grandma Anderson died very soon after I was born, but that 1t didn't make any particular diff ference in the housekeeping for things went right on just as they had done, with her giving the orders as before; that shed given them all alone any way, mostly, the last year Grandma Anderson lived, and she knew just how Father liked things She said Mother tried once or twice to take the reins herself. and once Nprse lst her.

He shook his head and gave that queer little laugh again
 ''I'm afraid not, he sighed. "As for it's being diSease-there are people that call it disease, and there are others who call it cure; and there are still others who say it's a remedy worse than the disease il tries to cure. But, there, you baby! What am I saying Come, come, my dear, just forget it. It's nothing you should bother your little head over now. Wait til you're older"
