MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELE GARRISON '
"-you don't seem delighted to sec me. I
am surprised at ou."
Harry Underwood towered above me, his
handsome face marred by the little, leering
(mlle ho generally wears, his bold, laughing
eoi staring down Into my horrified ones.
1 do not bellevo that over a woman of a
more superstitious time dreaded tho "Vll
eje as I do tho glance of Harry Under
w ood.
lie Is fast becoming a boglo to me Ho
bobs up In my path at tho most unexpected
limes And whenever 1 boo him thero come
Involuntarily to my mind the cool matter-of-fact
tones of l.llllati Oalo and tho astonish
ing1 words which sho tittered nt mv chafing-
dish part)
"You nre not used to our wns or I
shouldn't bother to toll ou this Hut I can
see that ou arc much nnnoved nt llarr,
and I don't blame otl nut ou mustn t
mind him Ho Is really hnrmless He falls
In lovo with every new face ho sees, has a
violent nttack. then gets over It just as
quickly You are an entirely new tjp'1 to
him no I suppose his uttnek this time will
be a llttlo moro prolonged. He'll make
violent love to jou behind my Inck and
bofyro m) faie. but vou mustn't mind him
1 understand, and I'll straighten him out
when he gets too annovlng"
I tried to assure mself that Mrs Under
wood had been mistaken. But tho look In
her husband's ces whenever he met mine
alwnvs made ino uncomfortable Thero
was bold admiration In every glance, but
aIo lurking behind It there was a touch of
malevolence
I was much puzzled, too, by his presence
In the Aquarium. It seemed to me that of
all places In tho world, It would bo tho most
unlikely to appeal to him
a rniGin oukktinh
"How do oti do"' I managed to gap
trvlng to be courteous nnd chilling In the
same bie.tth liven with my slight experi
ence In sin h matters I mw tint ho hsd
been drinking heavll. nnd that tho two
men that stood behind him, and who were
evidently anxious to avoid nttentlon, were
In even worso condition than he.
"How do ou do'" he mocked, seizing my
hand and bringing It almost up to his
nhoulder In a burlesque of frigid giceting
"You don't cem glad to ee me nt all You
don't seem sui prised, either You ought to
be oaten up with curiosity to know what
brought me down to this godforsaken plaie
Wort holo I cum Rtrmk 1 know ou think
o, too '
How to answer him or what to do I did
not know Ho evldentlv had been drinking
enough to inako himself li responsible
He did not give me time to ponder long,
however 'Who Is jour ladv friend ' he
burlesqued ' Introduce me '
A man less audacious ths.ii Hairy Under
wood would Imt' been d muted bv tho pic
ture mv mothcr-ln-liw presented as ho
turned toward her Her figure was drawn
up to Its extreme height, nnd she was sur
vejlng him tlunugh her lorgnette with an
expression that held dlgus,t mingled with
the iurlosit nn explorer might feel at
meeting some strange pcilmcn of animal
In his ti.ivds
"Mrs Oraham, this Is Mr I ndtrwood," I
managed to st.immei 'Mr Underwood,
Mrs Graham, Oli kv s inothet "
My mother-in-law may overawe ordinal y
persons, but Ilarr.v Underwood minded her
disdiin no moie than he would have the
contempt of a stalelv Plv mouth Rock hen.
She had loweied the loignette as 1 spoke,
and lie gt.ibbcd the hind which still held It,
Inking It as wannlj as if It belonged to
some long-lo.t friend
"A HUNT
YOU iTItltll'S"
'Well' Well'" he slid effulvel 'Hut
tills is gieat Hear old Dlekv's mother'" He
stopped and fixed a speculating st.ue upon
her. 'You mean his sister," lie r-ald le
provlnglv at mo "lion t tell me jou mean
his mother No, no, 1 cant believe that."
He shook his head solemiilv Uvldentlv
he was much impressed with himself If 1
had not been so inlseinble 1 could have
smiled at the Idea of Harrv Underwood
trjlng on tho elder Mrs (irnham the sillv
specious flatteries lie nddiesed to most
women M mother-in-law did not deign to
answer him Her manner was supeili in
her lnughtv reserve, although I could not
sav muih for her courtesj As he iclcascil
her hand she let It drop quietlv to her side
and stood still gazing at him with a quiet,
disdainful look that would have made al
most anv othei man wince
But It did not bother Harrv Undetwood
in the least Ho gave her a shrewd ap
praising look and then turned to me with
an air of dismissal that was as complete as
her Ignoring of him
' Saj ' ' he demanded '.Trent vou a hit
curious about what brought me down here?
You ought to be The funniest thing In
tho world mv being down here"
uxnKnwoor srortus o.i:
His sillv repetitions, his slurred enuncia
tion his slightly unsteady figure made me
realize with a quick horror that the man
was more Intoxicated than I supposed How
to get away from him as qulcklv as pos-J
slble was the problem i raced l decided to
humor him as I would any other Insane
person I dreaded
"I am never curious," I responded llghtlj
"I suppose, of course, tint jou are here to
visit tho Aquarium, as we are"
"Visit the Aquarium' Ha! Ha' That's a
good one," ho retorted laughing boister
ously 'Not but that water looks good to
mo today." he went on rcflectivclj'. "Any
kind of water looks good to jours truly this
morning "
Thero didn't seem to he anj answer to
make to this speech, so I kept silent But
to the Irresponsible mood of the man be
fore ino bllenco only meant provoking him
to moro absurdities
Into his ejes flashed the dancing, Impish
look I had learned to dread. He came a
step nearer to me and looked down at me
maliciously
"Suppose, me proud beaut'," with the
burlesque Imitation of tho stage villain
which ho affects, "suppose I had been on
jour trail for dajs. Suppose these were me
faithful henchmen" Ho waved an un
steady hand toward his companions, who
had withdrawn from us as far as they con
veniently could "Suppose I Intended to
carry jou off to a lonely Island, and there
make you mine. What then?" He snapped
the last, words abruptly, his face almost
touching mine.
Then ho drew back, laughing maliciously
at the frightened look which I knew must
have, appeared Involuntarily In my face.

THE HAPPY DUCKS
THE STORM
By Farmer Smith
It was Indian summer now and all the
woodland creatures were as happy ns could
be as the soft air blew ovdr the hills and
vallejs
Kven the birds who go South very earl
In the season postponed their trip from
da to da because It was so warm and
comfortable at home
But tonight there was a strange liush
in the woods not a leaf stirred, andover
against the moon a huge black cloud
could could be seen sullenlv brooding, as If
trvlng to decide Just where and when to
begin Its destructive journey.
Tho woodland people feel all these
(hanges In the air, and at once they begin
to get ready foi a storm
"I think wo will keep closo together,
my dears " said Mother Duck "That
cloud means business, nnd 1 agree with
1'ather Duik and think there will be a
terrible thunder shower or wind storm
later and we will have to go down to the
river anil sleep under the big rock"
"I am sorry foi tho birds who have to
live up In the trees at such times as these,
for the are apt to suffer."
"Yes, they aro all talking and calling to
tath other now as if a little anxious,"
answered rather Duck, 'but they know
how to piotcct themselves and they will
not be taken by surprise."
At midnight the storm came and burst
on the woods In all Its fury. Tho crow
famllv In their nest, high up In the big
pine tree, watched and waited anxiously
as thev sw.ived back and forth In the
branches Suddenly they were lifted up In
the arms of tho rough north wind, and be
fore they knew It they were all on the
ground among a mass of leaves, broken
bushes and wreckage of all kinds
At first they were loo dazed to move,
but soon the baby crows began calling for
their mother.
Forgetting nil about herself, Mrs. Crow
started to find them In tho darkness, but
when sho tried to walk sho discovered
that she could not move. '
'Oh David!" she called 'Something
has happened I cannot move and my leg
hurts"
Instantly Mr Trow came to her side and
very gently raised tho Injured leg and de
cided at once thnt it was broken
"It Is too bad, my dear llttlo wife," he
said. "But cheer up; I know Just where
the children are they aro not hurt nnd
none of us Is killed wo are better off
than a great many others
"You are perfectly safe right here until
daylight. Do not move I will fly right
over to our good friend, Sir, Duck, for I
know ho will come and set jour leg He
Is a natural born doctor and will have
you all right again soon."
Away ho went and soon his loud call
brought Mr. Duck up from his cozy shel
ter under the big rock, where the storm
had not disturbed him at all.
"Well, I am very sorry that jou had to
have all this trouble," he said, after hear-

After holding the body In this position for
a llttlo while let It sink to the table again.
Itepcat the movement until ou feel
fatigued.
Kollow this with a Jumping exercise, which
will tench jou grace and agility, besides
making tho muscles nnd flesh firm Take
an ordlnarj' step-ladder and spread a soft
quilt doubled once or twice or a mat
tress before It. so that the force of your
Jump will bo somewhat broken.
Begin Jumping from the lower step of
the ladder and work up Hold tho body
welt forwaid while Jumping, nnd , tlioiiRh
jou Might on .voiir toes, keep tho heels
rather close to the ground, so that there
will he a spring and the weight will bo
divided
A chair Is required for tho third exer
cise, which will develop a beautiful, firm
arm and strengthen the muscles of the back
and abdomen "
Place tho chair In a recumbent position,
kneel before It, and grasp tho back legs
near the ends Without raising these legs
from the floor lulng the back of the chair
several feet from the floor. Lower It and
npent t10 movement until jou begin to
feel tired
Tho fourth exercise consists of Ijlng on
tho floor with the face down, and slow I v
raising tho trunk, using the arms ns a
brace nnd keeping the head up There will
bo a pulling of tho back muscles that will
bo vcrj1 fatiguing at first, showing jou how
little theso muscles havo been exercised
Prnctlco these exercises with an earnest
and sincere desire to Improvo tho figure.
To have firm muscles It s nccoss.irj that
good blood pass through them, and to havo
good blood It Is nece-sarv to hivo propel

DIARY OF A WELL-DRESSED GIRl '
Solving the Problem of a Smart Slip-on Blouse
Solving
responsible for
J many things. You grow tired of tho
ordinary amusements, nnd In desperation
turn to nny dlvctslon, even to darning
stockings or mending. This was my state
of mind when I decided to make a blouse.
I went to the sewing room and rum
maged through all tho materials for eorao.
thing suitable for n dress blouse. Tho only
thing that looked at all promising was a
piece nf dark blue crepe do chine. I had to
change my mind and plnp a different sort
of blouse
Dno of my friends wore a stunning
slip-on blouse of champagno-colorcd crepe
meteor, trimmed with bead embroidery, I
had examined It carefully, and knew ex
actly how It was made.
Klnco I hadn't a pattern, I cut nnd fitted
pieces of old muslin until I had made a
satisfactory guide for my hlouo.
T basted the pattern to the crepo de chine
and cut the silk exactly llko tho muslin
Then I basted the front to the back, the
only senms being under thy arms. Then I
made a row of tiny vertical tucks across tho
shoulders and slashed the center of the
front nt the neckline.
After neatly turning back the edges of
the rounded neckline and tho slash I
hemmed the lower edge of the blouse,
stitching It by hnnd
The original blouse had long bell
sleeves, but I decided to make mine
"bishop " I cut them rather full from tho
elbows to the wrists, and gathered them
Into tight wristbands Then I sewed them
Into the armholes
The blouse was now ready for the trim
ming I happened to havo plenty of dark
blue soulacho braid of the same tono ns tho
ciepe do chine, so I sewed three rows about
the neckline. There were flno worsteds ln
soft tones of red, blue, green and gray In
the box of trimmings which I knew would
bo far more effective than beads
Using these colors, I embroidered a sim
ple design about the neckline extending
It below the slash In front. I also embroid
ered turn-back cuffs
Mother suggested that I embroider
epaulettes to cover the shoulder seams. I
liked the Idea, and soon had them finished
One thing called for another. The epau
lettes wero such an Improvement to the
blouso that I decidod to ndd embroidered
pockets I made them almost Bquare, trim
ming them with soutache braid as well as
the worsted embroidery. When they wero
sewn in place I made a sash girdle of tho
crepe de chine, trimming the ends with em
broidery and w orsted ft Inge.
Tho blouso Is easily slipped on over tho
head, and the slash closed by fastening the
narrow, button-trimmed chemisette In place,
nut, like Itome, It "was not made In a day"
I had to sew on It faithfully for thrco das.
Billy Stewart sent me a Chow puppy jes
tcrday. Hq's exactly like a wooly Teddy
hear, and tho cunnlngest thing imaginable.
Mother Isn't overjocd at this new addition
to our family, and unless little Chlng-Ling
soon w.ins licr good graces he'll have to find
another home
