VILLAGERS WATCH YOUNG HUSBAND’S FIGHTFORHISWIFE t Former Secretary to Nina Putnam Returns Home — Spouse Not to See Him, By United Press , MADISON, Conn., Jan. 11.—Madison's population—the whole thousand of it —was up bright and early today to witness the struggle of “Elly” Bassett, who grew up as a “handy” young man around the village, battle his way back into the confidence of his wife, who is the pride of the town girls’ basketball team. “Elly,” as his home folks long have known him, is back after resigning his job as personal representative of Nina Wilcox Putnam, a job which brought from his wife this week the charge that he had left his family for the noted novelist. After two unsuccessful attempts to see Mrs. Bassett last night and explain, “Elly” and his wife spent the night in adjoining homes along the Boston Post road near the edge of this seaside village. Stays With Friend Mrs. Bassett remained with a girl friend and teammate on the basketball team, while Bassett was housed by his friend, Harrison Dowd, a writer who also Is a friend of Mrs. Putnam. Among the first up in the village today was Bassett. He was ready for a fresh and supreme effort to see his wife today. “1 have come more than half way,” he told the United Press this morning. “I have come nine tenths of the ■way. I am prepared to come still further if she will forget the hideous falsehoods she has been hearing about Mrs. Putnam, and come a little of the distance herself. “I think she will talk to me when we meet face to face. We need only a few words together. She will believe." Villagers Greet Him When Bassett arrived last night, his coming had been rumored throughout the village. His call at the postoffice where his wife works was the signal for many of the village folk turning out to greet him. The attitude was that of friends who thought one of their number had pranked a bit and were interested in seeing how he made out with his best I girl after a tiff. After all, hadn’t “Elly” grown up among them, a lad who was his father’s helper in clam digging? True, Nina Wilcox also had grown up. among them, but she had not mingled with them. She had *own away from them as she grew up. She is known' rather as the “lady writer” than as ! "on_ of our girls.” But in the rear of the postoffice, Mrs. Bassett sent out word that she : would not see her husband. “Tell him,” she said, “to see my j lawyer. Judge Zachary.” “Not at Home” Bassett called his mother-in-law, Mrs. Petri, on the telephone later. No, his wife was “out.” No, he couldn’t see his boy, Adnan, because “he is in bed.” There was one more chance. There j was a practice game scheduled between the high school girls team and ; the town girls, among the latter of whom Mrs. Bassett is a star player. Basketball is the main winter sport in the village. The theater, which also is the basketball court, filled early as the town folk came to cheer their favorites. Among those present was Elly. Then, as the high school girls began tossing baskets in warming up, the word was passed out that the town girls had defaulted the match. Rebuffed Again Then the full significance of the j tiff between “Elly” and his wife struck the villagers and the town, already somewhat aroused from its customary OUGHi RHEUMATISM!

WHY WOMEN LOOK 80 AT 40 With dark circles under their eyes, sallow complexions, drawn expressions, drooping shoulders, a lagging step, many women of forty hare the appearance of women of sixty. In many cases this condition is caused by overwork or neglect of such warning symptoms, as headaches, backache, nervousness, displacements. and irregularities which in- ! dicate ailments peculiar to women. If all women so afflicted would only rely upon Lydia E. I’inkham’s Vegetable Compound it would restore them to a norma! healthy condition, and the premature signs of age will soon disappear.—Advertisement.

winter calm, became stimulated to moderate excitement. “Elly” went out into the night again somewhat dejected. But this morning he was feeling more hopeful again. At noon Mrs. Bassett was to resume her usual duties at the public library and Bassett hoped to see her then if not before. Meantime, friends of the Bassetts are- smiling and waiting. They are inclined to the belief that It is a quarrel that will iron out because Mrs. Bassett still loves her husband. Most of them, however, think that she will take her time. “You know —to teach ’Elly’ a lesson,” say these. Markham Is Banquet Speaker C. H.
