When I had absorbed the wisdom
the proverbs of these people who

true, certainly gives them a press

The Revelations of a Wite
A New Story of Married Life.
By Adele Garrison.
(Continued from Yesterday's
Georgian.)
79 FLL, old girl, what sort
W of day did you have?”
Dicky’s cheery voice
came like & fresh breeze through
the stale air of a closed room. 1
had been brooding all the afternoon.
The discourtesy and ingratitude of
the woman across the hall, and my
experience with Harry Underwood
on the omnibus had depressed me.
1 had gat pretending to read, but
in reality idly thinking ever since
I had come back from my unpleas
ant bus ride, I had eaten no lunch
eon, for we had breakfasted so late,
and this was the first time I had
seen Dicky since morning.
“A perfectly horrid day, Dicky.
Oh! but I'm glad to see you!”
I clung to him as he kissed me.
%1e evidently read my need of his
sympathy, for he picked me up and
carried me to our armchalir, and sat
down, gathering me close to him,
and smoothing my hair.
“Now tell me all about it,”" he
said. “Get it out of your system
and you'll feel better.”
I had to decide swiftly how mnch
I should tell him of Harry Under
wood's annoying persistence in
seeking my society., 1 knew Dicky's
unreasonable chilplish jealousy, I
did not wish to m‘uum it if I could
possibly handle the situation my
self. 1 made up my mind to hold
my tongue concerning his friend’s
ridiculous actions for a while, at
least.
“Yon wererright and 1 was wrong
his morning about those people
across the hall” T began.
“Why! what did they do? Were
they rude to you?” Dicky bristled at
the mere jdea of rudeness to me.
“I'll tell you all about it, and you
can judge for yourself.”
So for the second time I retailed
the petty little gtory &f the rude
ness of my neighbor across the hall,
“By Jove!” Dicky ejaculated when
T hiad finished, “I never heard any
thing to equal that. We saved
her baby's life among us, and she
considerg it a bore to meet you,
Well! I guess the next nursemald
who rushes in here with a dying
infant will be told to beat it to the
nearest hospital.”
I could not help but smile at
Dicky's indignation and his way of
expressing it.
“Tell me all abput it, this min
ute!” !
“There conldn’t anything like that
happen again. It is too strange an
occurrance to come more than
once.” .
“T should hope sO.” Dicky's tone
was still wrathful,
“Let us forget all about it. T'm
sure 1 never want to think about it
R ok 2 &
“All right. What.did you do when
you wilked away like a tragedy
queen?™
“Nearly walked into an automo
bile and had my life saved by a
gtlicemp."\.l smiled at the recol
ction, i
“What!+ You're joking, Madge'!™
“Indeqd; T not, but there wasn't
any danger, I think, even if the po«
liceman did scold me”™
He listened quietly untfl T had
finished, then took me by the shoul
ders and shook me playfully, yet
the grip of his hands hfrt me. But
I did not mind, for both the clasp
of his handg and his scolding words
warmed my heart with the message
of love and concern for me they be
trayed,
“Don’t ever, ever do such a thing
again,” he said, “What do you
thinl® would become of me if any
thing should happen to you? I
don't want to think or talk of It.”
He shook his shoulders as if
throwing off the memory of the
occurrance,
“I hope yom had a pleasant ride.
It surely should have been a dandy
to make up for the rest of the
morning.”
1 smiled grimly so myself at the
hateful memory of the ride. But I
must not let Dicky suspect the
truth,
| “The ride was well enough” T
sald indifferently, “Mr. Underwood
~ boarded the bus & few blocks after
I did and rode a number of blocks
with me. He ig rather tiresome,
don't you think so?"
Dicky looked at me keenly,
“Not many women say that about
him,"” he replied.
“Well, 1 think him decidedly tire
some,” I returned. “When I ride
on the top of a 'bus, 1 either want

to be alone or have a really con
genial companion with me.”
“Like me?” Dinky teased, smiling
at me.
“Like you,” I answered, returning
his smile,
“Dinner ready,” Katie's voice
broke in.
“And here I have not even my
overcoat off. That's what comes
of comforting downhearted wives.”
Dicky hurried into hig room,
The little talk with Dicky had
restored my cheerfulness. We were
both hungry, and ‘we made a most
excellent meal, neither of us talk
ing rduch until the coffee came in.
“l have a dandy scheme for to
morrow."”
Dicky lighted his clgar as he
#poke and stretched himself Juxu
riously.
“What is 1t?”
“Well, if tomorrow l,q\llkn today,
I've just got to get a whiff of coun
try air. Today was like spring, and
the minute anytN'ng like spring
comes, I'm like a fish out of water
until I get to the country. There's
the bulliest pilece of country eut
on Long Island about 256 miles, real
brooks and woods and mcadows and
things like that. And there’'s an
old inn that dates back a hundred
years or more, where you can get
the bulliest meals you ever ate”
“We'll go to bed early tonight,
and get up tomorrow in time to
take the 8:10 train from the Penn
sylvania station, That will get us
out there at 9, and we’ll have a long,
glorious day.”
“Oh! Dicky, won’t that be splen
did? I don't know of anything in
the world 1 would rather do. ‘I have
always wanted to live in the coun
try ever since I left it when I was
a little girl"”
“Well! I don't know about living
in it the year around,” Dicky said
dubiously. “I imagine it would be
an awful bore in the winter time.
But in the summer time it is the
only thing to do. That's one thing
1 want to go out there for tomor
row. Perhaps we can pick up some
place we would like for the sum
mer.”
“Oh! Dicky!" I repeated inanely.
To live a whole long luxuriously
summer in the real country! It was
too good to be true, I had had short
trips to summer resorts, weekg of
vacation spent at farmhouses de
voted to the entertainment of sum
mer guests, but housekeeping in a
real country home-—it seemed like a
glimpse of paradise.
. "I know you will enjoy it tomor
row,” Dicky said. “B{ the way,
amuse yourself with this for a few
moments. I'm out of cigars, I find.
I'll run out and get some.”
“Thid’ was a box of sugared
almonds, my favorite bonbon. I
settled myself luxuriously in my
chair to wait for Dieky's return
when a sudden disquieting thought
struck me.
Tuesday was the day 1 had ar
ranged the meeting with Mrs.
Smith to discuss my leadership of
the history section of her club.
I could not go with Dicky after
all!,
