MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS
 Adele Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
A Quick Transformation
Claire Fosters freshness.

A Quick Transformation
 "You haven't had a chance to freshcn up since your journey" she replied so quickly that l wasn't sure whether or not she had seen my self deprecatory glance, "Where is your bag?"
 Tn the taxi"
 But I have extra combs and everything right here" she said cap ably. Here, let me be your maid, please"
 There wao something so insistent. promptly in spite of an instinctive re- pugnance I felt to accepting any fav- or at her hands. But l guessed that the girl was in perfect agony of youthful remorse and anxiety to do anything she could for me. and I could not wound her as refusing her request certainly would do.
 For tile next three minutes I sat bewildered by the haste and efficiency with which she remedied the ravages of my journey. She whisked my suit coat from my back. shook it com pletcly, and hung it upon padded hanger, even while she tossed me a big towel with the injunction to tuck it around my neck and put my hat upon the bed.
 Then with quick, delft fingers she massaged my face with a cleansing cold cream, wiped it off, and dusted on little rice powder. Then she removed the hairpins shook out my hair, gave 1t nasty but thorough brushing, and twisted it up again. She stepped off pase, surveying me critically.
 There, you are yourself again." she said. Luckily your blouse is tan, so, 1t doesn't show the dust as a white one would. And it is the duck fest thing Now let me play Pull man porter and you're ready"
 She applied whisk broom vigor- ously to my skirt, gave whisk or two to the coast, and held 1t out for me to slip on. And then, with head critically to one side, she put on ma hat, adjusting 1t as carefully as if she were a millinery saleswoman.
 Now you may look," she said and my glance into the mirror showed me myself almost miraculously trans formed. I sent thought wave oi trankfulness to Lillian for having in- sisted that wear my best totteur suit.
 Without being conceited, I knew that I need no longer fear contrast with Claire Foster, and the knowl- edge, in curious feminine fashion softened my heart toward the girl who had so quickly and deftly aided me.

 Kate opened 1t.
 The ragged letters of the signature stood Chinatown Alice.
 Kate wondered vaguely as she tried to comprehend the meaning of the badly written words, why Alice used the whole name. She wondered if she were proud of the badge of pos session. even such as 1t was. Had she really cared for Dan, could she have wanted to placard herself continually with another mans sign of owner ship? Or did Chinatown Alice really have some sincere affection for the oriental with whom she worked and lived? And could woman who had once cared for Dan Ward conceive any affection for one so different? Was woman's love so elastic thingY
 Kate stumbled through the letter. It has half appeal, half threat Alice was trying to press her claim. Doro- thy was i'll, she wrote, and she was sure that her life around the unsani- tary laundry was at the bottom of it.
