ilr IN MARRIAGE Dicky, Obviously Embarrassed by the Message From Diverts Madge's Attention to An Old Jealousy By ADELE GARRISON MY FIRST furtive glance at Dicky when lio had come Into the room, showed mo that not anger, not contrition, nor yet Jndiffercnco--the three reactions I had feared from his hearing of tho message from "Floss" --was swaying him. To my astonishment and, I was sure, to Lillian's also, he looked distinctly embarrassed, almost Bhame-faced; and those expressions are so foreign to tho face of my imperious and careless husband that I wondered what had befallen him. It was no ordinary happening, I was sure, that would bring htm back to tho hotel so soon alter leaving it In a rags'. "Has Ede been here This was his salutation to both or us, and by it I measured lha importance to him of his query. Cor Dicky is usually most punctilious in his courtesy.

And an old pain, a jealous pang; that I had not felt for months, leaped within me nl my husband's tcnso utterance of that name. "Ede" in With Dicky "Ede!" How often hnd I secretly at hearing upon my husband's llpg the familiar nickname of the woman who, I knew, had loved him so long--and so hopelessly. Of that latter premise I was'olways assured In my brain, but sometimes uncertain in my heart For Dicky never had evinced for Edith tho rather flamboyant admiration thnt he has shown for several other feminine admirers of his. and that has troubled me during our of marriage. But her relation to him, especially in these later years, can best be expressed by that odious term, which I especially loathe, "of- My mind soared back to the first time I had seen Edith, years ago, when alie and her sister, Leila, had seen Dicfey across a crowded hall, and recognized him.

They were like delicate flowers In their exquisite beauty, with their air of having been sheltered from Idrih from ungentle wind, and their presence In that mill ing crowd was something Incongruous. To Study Art Dicky had explained, a little hesitantly, that they were two Virginia girls of old and distinguished family, uho, the slenderest of means, had come north to study "Art with a big as he expressed it. Hut I hud seen 1n his words, as wclJ as In Ills later actions, that while his brain gibed nt Kdith's limitations, and her absurd ambitions, his artistic Instincts went out to her undeniable beauty, while his chivalry was by the sweet, clinging-vine of the two sisters. It was a chivalry shared by other of the artist colony in an old historic, building to which the srirJs bad drifted. Lillian, I knew, had rendered them both many signal services, and she had rejoiced with the others when Leila turned her back upon her futile ambitions and married Alfred Durkec, youthful art editor and old friend of Dicky.

But Edith had struggled on, re. jecting several offers of marriage, However, Edith's greatest wish was no secret, either. Whether she over had; told Dicky about it in so many words I did not know, did not wish to know. But "he who ran might read" her adoration of Dicky, and once, in a lime ot great danger to Dicky, she had named out at me that she loved him with a greater, far less selfish love than mine. She had asked my forgiveness for that outburst later, and wo had patched up a friendship that had been welded still more firmly by her signal service in helping Hugh Grant I and to rescue Junior, after Grace Draper had kldr.aptf him.

But the last three years preceding this query of Dicky's as to lier whereabouts had worn that friendship thin. The fate that had thrown Dicky and Edith together In the ownership of a struggling art magazine had developed unsuspected business ability in her. As an artist, she was what Dicky calls "a washout," but as a business woman, she had saved the struggling magazine from bankruptcy and put It on a paying basis for herself and for Dicky. Jealousy Anew I did not resent her success, nor was I chagrined at his rather extravagant gratitude to her. But I was intensely annoyed at the critical and possessive attitude which she, by imperceptible degrees, adopted toward him.

It was the height of absurdity, knew, for me to be jealous at Dicky's anxious query, but I could not control the nervous fear of something unknown whteh swept over me, although--I offered incense before my own special little joss for the boon--I was able to conceal my tremors and to say coolly: "No she hasn't been here. Did you expect to tind her here?" my husband found something irritating In my apparently Innocent query wap apparent, as ho looked nt me sharply, and then said anarlIngJy: "N'o. 1 didn't cNpcct to find her here don't hope to tind her here. I shall be ready for Relicvue if she does heave in sight. But there was n.

distinct possibility that she would show up here, and I had to know about it." "What's the matter, Dicky bird?" Tjlllian cooed sweetly. "Is our Edith getting temperamental again?" (Continued Monday) (Copyright, 1333, K. P. s. Inc.) Mrs.
