"Darling, don't cry like that, you'll make yourself ill." Oh. it was sweet to be held against him like that, to have him solicitous about me, above all with the memory of his set features and the hard line of his mouth and Jaw still in my thoughts. I turned to him like a weary child and sobbed my heart out against his kisses on my hair and forehead. It was very blesed, very peaceful, and for a time I forgot everything but the fact that I was there. But later when Dane had fallen asleep by my side.

I realized the truth. He had taken my tears for surrender. He had held me and soothed me much as he would have soothed a refractory child, but he had no understanding of the woman in me. the woman who cried out for understanding and sympathy of a biguer nature. Was this the way Dane loved met Was it only for my beauty and my charm, that he wanted me, and not for the things that went to maks up my real self? Did he want only to suppress that port of me that he did not like, and to make me over into a beautiful puppet echoing only the things that he did and said, and having no thoughts of my own? My love for him was different.

I should have loved him no matter what he did or eaid. I should have, respected his views whether they coincided with my own or not. Sometime in the night I must hav dozed off, but I slept fitfully and in the morning I had one of my raging headaches. Dane was tenderly considerate of me. He insisted that I stay in bed.

and that Martha bring me some coffee and toast. He sat by my bed while I tried to eat. and no reference was made to what had happened the preceding nisrht. He neemed to think that what I needed was extra petting, and It was quite In order to leave me at home surrounded by lor-lng care while he loft for the offie to battle with the affairs of the'day. But no sooner had the door closed behind him than I struggled out of bed.

Inaction was Impossible, and although my head ached wretchedly, I persisted in dressing. Anything was better than staying in bed with my thoughts in a raging Just waiting for something to happen.

I LAY on my bed a long time hoping against hope that Dan would come to my door.

I wondered what I would do If he came me. It seemed to me In my agony of mind, that it would be easier to give In; that I could not bear this estrangement from him, but he did not come. After what seemed a long time, I heard him go into his room, which was next to mine. The door between was slightly ajar, but he did not come anywhere near it. I heard his preparations for bed.

and then the little click of the extinguished light. When I was reasonably sure thai he was asleep, I rose, and began to undress. I felt that I could never sleep, and yet I was very tired. I had gone through a great deal in the last few days, and my body was tired, but my nerves were Jumpy, I tried not to make any noise, but as I had not snapped on the light, I could not see very well, and as I groped among the things on my dressing table for my brush, I knocked over a scent bottle which fell to the floor with a loud crash. Quite suddenly I began to cry.

It was the last straw and my nerves, stretched to the breaking point, gave way. I stuffed a pillow into my mouth to stifle my sobs, but In the paroxylsm of sobbing I shook all over. The next thing I knew Dane was gathering me up into his arms. I IT ia well understood by all husbands and most wives that a woman fchall make herself asrreeable to the man's business friends. Whoever the husband may bring back to dinner, old or young, dull or witty, rude or courteous, it is understood that the wife must provide good food, decorous vaudeville, deference, and passionate interest in whatever the stranger pleases.

It is business, and any decent woman enters gladly into the plot where she and her husband will give a chicken dinner in exchange for an enlarged order. It is well so, and I need not here preach loyalty to wives, but I would suggest that all good things in this world are subject to exchange, lias it occurred to all wives that her husband may have a duty not only to his friends, but to hers! "When a woman marries she often retains friends of her girlhood, and by degrees acquires more as these friends marry. She naturally wants to maintain these old friendships, and she often finds that her husband, on principle, hates her old friends almost as much as his in-laws. lie seldom can see why his wife wants that woman hanging about the house. Well, where a man does not realize his duty, his wife must teach it to him.

It is no use playing with a thing like that it must be talked out clearly. She must tell him that however painful he finds her friend Millieent he must tolerate her, just as she stands his appalling pal Johnson. She will do her best to enjoy the society of Millieent when he is not at home, but if he comes across her he must behave. Otherwise Johnson will suffer. It sounds hard, but one must be hard to preserve any of the softness of life.

Copyright, 1922. Bedtime Story by Howard It. Garls. N'CE upon a time, as Uncle Wig gily was hopping through the woods, he stopped for a mo- mer.t to rest behind a bush, and he heard some one talking. we need is something to beat good and hard," spoke one voice.

"My goodness me sakes alive and a leaspoonful of lollypopsi" thought Uncle Wisrg-ily. "This must be some bad nnimui hiding here to beat me. 'Uiiicss." went on Mr. Longears, "it is a tramp dog speaking of a rug or carpet to beat. I'll take a look." Uncle Wiggily peered through the cracks of the bushes and there he saw, sitting on a log, Johnnie and Billie Bushytall, the two squirrel boys.

"Oh, ho!" laughed the bunny gentleman to himself, as he twinkled his pink nose. "I have nothing- to fear from Johnnie and Billie! But I wonder what It is they want to beat? I must ask them." So Uncle Wiggily hopped out on the path, and when the squirrel brothers saw him they flapped their talis for Joy. "Oh, maybe Uncle Wiggily can help us!" chattered Johnnie. "Can you find us something to beat?" asked Billie. "Well," said Uncle Wiggily to the Bushytall lads, "it all depends on what you want to beat.

If it's a carpet or a rug I know Nurse Jane would like to see you at the bungalow. She has a rug: that needs cleaning." "Oh, we don't want to beat rugs, nor yet eggs!" laughed Johnnie. "We want's, drum to beat." "You see we have the fife," went on Billie, and he showed Uncle Wiggily a fife made In the shape of a whistle from the willow tree. "J- can blow this willow fife," chattered Billie, "and if Johnnie had a drum to beat we could have a parade. Have you a drum.

Uncle Wiggily?" "No, I am sorry to say I have not," answered Mr. Longears. "But I will see if I can find you one. I am going to Grandfather Goosey Gander's with this cup of custard which Nurse Jane made for him. On the way, or at Grandpa Goosey's house, I may find a drum." "Oh, we hope you do.

Uncle Wiggily!" cried Billie. "But I hardly think you will at Grandpa Goosey's," said Johnnie sadly. "He is too old to have a drum." "You never can tell," spoke the bunny gentleman. Then he hopped on over the fields and through the woods with the cup of custard. He was almost at Grandpa Goosey's house when, all of a sudden.

Uncle Wiggily heard a sad voice saying: "Oh, dear, how hungry I am! Oh, the berries aren't ripe yet, and what shall I eat?" and with that came a curious drumming sound, as if a company of animal soldiers were marching. Uncle Wiggily thought surely he would see a parade, but there was no sound of a fife, and a moment later a bird with brown feathers, some made up into a ruff around his neck, flew up from a low log where it had been perched. "Was it you who spoke of being hungry?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "It was," answered the bird. "And did you do the drumming?" the rabbit gentleman asked.

"Yes," was the bird's answer, "I did. I am called the ruffled grouse. and you can see my ruffle. But that does not top me from being hungry." "Oh, excuse me!" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily. "Here is a cup custard I was taking to Grandpa Goosey.

I can easily get Nurse Jane to make him another. If you will eat this "I shall be most happy to," spoke the ruffled grouse, and soon he had eaten the custard. "Now I should like to do you a favor because you did me one." spoke the brown bird. "But about all I can do is to drum. I shall do that for you." Perching himself firmly on a low log, the grouse first began to beat his wings slowly, making a sound like dub, Tfie grouse began, toieat s-v What's Wrong With Styles and Civic Y.

RACIAL ORIGIN English.

SOURCE A personal characteristic. 'TMIIS family name is also found in the older forms of Blythman and Hllthman. And Its meaning really Is what you might hesitate to suspect, "cheerful" or "happy." It belongs in that classification of family names which were originally descriptive of some personal characteristic of temperament. Some people find it difficult to see how such apparently "silly" nicknames were so common or so well thought of that they later developed Into regular family names. The fact remains, however, that they did.

No less a personage than Joan, sister of King Henry III of England, when she became betrothed to the Scottish monarch, thereby ending war between the two countries, was named "Joan Make-Peace" by the Scots, and the old records are full of such descriptive surnames as "Ooode." "Merry," "Gay," "Blythe," "Make-Bllsse" and the like. In an old Wardrobe Account there appears "1297, December 36. To Maud Make-Joy, for dancing before Edward, Prince of Wales, at Ipswich, two shillings." The Norman tendency with such descriptive surnames as this was to use the definite article, "le," with them. But as the Saxon element began again to gain dominance In English speech the article came to be dispensed with more often than not. Tomorrow Hmnessy.

Novel Table Mats Of all the many arts and crafts practised by women, leatherwork Is among the most popular, and seemingly there is no end to the many highly decorative and novel items which this craft enables one to manufacture at little cost. Pretty table mats of inlaid leather look very well placed on a table of unstained oak. They are very easily made If the following directions are carefully carried out: Obtain a sheet of soft suede and cut it into squares, circles, or such shapes as you desire, the edge being trimmed with a "battlement" or other design cut with sharp scissors. Care should be taken in the care of square mats to insure the edges being straight and that they run at right angles one to the other.

A design of fruit or flowers should then be lightly "tooled" on in the middle, the conventional apple or orange being pimple and very effective. Pieces of different colored leathers can be next cut to the shapes of the fruit and leaves and carefully glued into place, and when thoroughly dry the outline of the design should receive another impression from the stamping tools and then a coat of carefully applied varnish. These table mats make an unusual nnd pleasing change from 'those of linen, and, inlaid with a fruit de sign in orange and green, have a cheering effect on a dining room1 table. York Fashions.

31 rs. George C. Hitchcock. FEW women in Bt. Louis have done more for the city's civic and philanthropic Interests than Mrs.

George C. Hitchcock, 5363 Waterman avenue, and few women have so persistently shunned public recognition of their work. Mrs. Hitchcock, who was the former Miss Elizabeth Flske, has been president for several years of the Children's Aid Society, and although sought after socially as a member of St. Louis' exclusive she has devoted most of her time and much of her energy to the development of the Children's Aid.

When a St. Loulsan thinks of that organization he thinks of Mrs. Hitchcock and her untiring efforts in Its behalf. For many Christmas Eves she has organized the carol singers who go through the city the night before Christmas singing for the Children's Aid, and when funds have dwindled she herself has sent out various urgent appeals for financial aid. More than that.

Mrs. Hitchcock has found or seen to the provision of suitable boarding homes for hundreds of orphan and destitute children, who without the assistance of the Children's Aid would be homeless and in need. If Mrs. Hitchcock's acquaintances say she is reserved and ultra-conservative, her friends and all other St. Loulsans who know her In her work will tell of her true blgheart-edness and her devotion to the splendid organization which she heads.

Why Not Use More Rice? The Department of Agriculture wants the American housewife to use rice more freely than she does. And why not? It is cheap, it is nourishing and it is easily prepared. The main objection to rice seems to be that it lacks flavor. It Is the part of the thrifty housewife, therefore, to add to the rice that which it lacks. The simplest flavoring of all perhaps Is salt.

When rice is to be served as a breakfast cereal or as a vegetable to be served at dinner with gravy it may be prepared as plain boiled rice. The novice cook never realizes that rice swells up to about five times its original proportion whta it is cooked. if you want to cook enough rice to serve two people for breakfast, wash and pick over two level tablespoonfuls of raw rice. Drop this gradually into a quart or so of rapidly boilin? salted water. The rapidity with which the water boils makes stirring unnecessary.

A level tcaspoonful of salt to a quart of water Is sufficient for the average taste. After about twenty minutes, test the rice by crushing a grain of It between the thumb and first finger. If it is tender throughout turn the rice Into a strainer and rinse with running water to remove excess starch. Spread the rice out on a plate and stand in the oven with tho door oppn for a few minutes until each grain is dry afM distinct. The rice is now perfectly prepared.

and for breakfast It may be served with either milk or cream or a combination of both. A little maple suffar grated over It will turn it into c. simple dessert fit for a child's luncheon or for the brain worker's noonday meal. The Housewife's Idea Box To Keep Mie? Away From Books.

Laundry Fashion Notes From London London The V-neck has returned to fashion and is to be seen on many of the newest English and French creations. It Is noticeable that the large hat Is once more beginning to reassert Itself.

Black is the favorite shade, with very little trimming. Cloaks are to be much worn this season, even with the flimsiest out door frocks. Long skirts appear to be the feature of the spring fashions, Judged bv salon displays. It Is to be the smart woman season, not the "flap pers" fashion season, says an author ity. Hatpins are large and obtrusive.

but they are used more as trimmings than as hatpins. Knickers Popular in Chicago It's knickers for walking, breeches for riding, trousers for motoring and overalls for housework. The demand is echoed in more feminine hearts than one would imagine. The big stores and the small shops have felt it and are filling It. When the first girl appeared in riding breeches on the bridle path there was consternation among the males, but the fad for all kinds of trousers has grown so no one could stop it if they wanted to.

And the women have an argument in defense: How can anyone walk in a tight skirt? It's impossible, they say. Miss Claire Miller looked approvingly into a larse mirror as she explained the virtues of the trousers she wore for walking and golf. "Nothing could be more appropriate," she explained. Miss Anita Munroe described the advantage of trousers for motoring. "When you motor," she said, "you can't be horping in and out of a car comfortably with a lot of awkward skirts on.

I love this motoring cos ttime. I wear a cape with it and when I get out of the car to shop I button the cape and no one can tell I have no skirt on." Miss Babe Stanton, an actress, gave her approval of the comforts of the long tried riding breeches. Miss Eleanor Livingston told why she wears overalls to do housework: "They are the most comfortable things I ever had on." she said.

Faster and faster the grouse beat his wings on the air, until the drumming sounded like that of a regular parade with trills and everything." "That was fine!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "But I thought you grouse birds did your drumming on hollow logs." "Yes. many think we do it that way, but we don't." the grouse answered.

"We just beat the air with our wings. We are good drummers." "I know two little squirrel boys who want a good drummer," said Uncle Wiggily. "Johnnie and Billie Bushytall have a fife, but no drum. If you would drum for them they could have a parade." "Right gladly will I do that." said the ruffled grouse. So he flew ofl" through the woods to the squirrel boys, while Uncle Wiggily hopped back to the bungalow to get another custard for Grandpa Goosey.

"Oh. this is fine!" said Johnnie and Billie, as they marched along, each one blowing a willow whistle fife, while the grouse flew ahead and drummed for them. "We're having a dandy parade!"
