A Wife's Confessional E Adele
 REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

Can you get the key of Hlnan's room without disturbing her? l wouldn't have her Rakcned for any thing"
 After ten minutes or so, can" I returned promptly. The key Is on the inside Of her door, so that I won't have to walk into the room and risk creaking floor board or anything like that and I'm sure shell be sound asleep in less than ten minutes"
 Good enough Katherine com mcnted, By the way. have you any thing on hand for the next half hour?"
 Not a thing" assured her
 Then I'm going 10 commander you," she said smiling. "Comc on, lets set the stage"
 Katherine Coaches Madgc
 She caught my hand and drew me down the hall to q window seat which commanded view Of Lil- Hans door. It was eTectually screened by thick curtain, which by some oversight was hanging straight instead of being drawn to one side 10 admit the sunlight.
 This will be bully" she said. Now after you have left me at the door Of your room, yours no longer, you poor thing want you 10 get the key of Lillian's door, lock the door on tho outside and put the key into your dress. Then come over here, curl yourself on the window seat, being very careful that not even the tip of your shoe shows. Then watch Lillian's door, until I come out and release you"
 "All right" I acquiesced, but suppose the unexpected happens and Lillian wakes up, when I'm taking the key"
 Explain to her what I asked you 0 do," Katherine answered prompt ly, She'll understand" My vanity received another wound. So Lillian was in kather- ines confidence concerning the ex- pertinent which she was attemptingt pushed my rising pique down, ! however. with a fierce little ana ,hcma at my own meauness. When turned an eXpectant face to Kath- crime she was softly striking the l back Of her right hand into the i palm of her left, a mannerism which always bc'rays her concen- tration upon some yexing problem.
 "Wc1I Play the First Scene" I'm sure Lillian won't wake up, however," she said confidently at last, and now we'll play the first scene Of our little comedy. I want you to go with me to the door of your room, and when I've opened it, I want you 10 command me to 1 lie down and go 10 sleep. Make the injunction emphatic, I shall answer with a caution not to wake my pa tient, and I want you in q lower ! but rather contemptuous voice to 1 express your belief that nothing or ] dnary could wake her. Say that you had seen her sleep. Then when you have made me promise to take a nap, announce your intention of ! going down into the garden. Say that Lillian Is asleep. Mother Ora ham - by the way-where is she?" Tn her own room, seated by the fro, reading new novel"
 Then she's safe enough" ksth- crime commented, and you won't be telling any tarradiddle when you announce her whereabouts 10 me. How about it? Are you letter per feet in your role""
 'I'u try not 10 get stage fright" ," I laughed, falling into step with her, as she started back toward the door of my own room.
 "Of course. you realize what I'm getting at," Katherine said, lower ing her voice as we neared my room.
 I'm afraid I'm rather hay about it," I confessed, cheered however, by this indication that she was not purposely shutting me away from her confidence.
 I'm sorry I haven't had the chance 10 tell you about it before, " she said with Rsl regret in her voice, but you know az well as I what mess we've bee! in. But the thing In q nutshell is very brief. I believe that girls shamming and I'm going 10 find out whether or not I'm right in my belief"
