Dear Mrs. Thompson: I had a party last night and my dearest friend to whom' I am engaged talked to a girl and did not pay very much attention to me. The girl lives next door to me and is a very good friend.
He asked me if he could take her home and I said he might. She told him she was not going with him and she slipped out and left him. He stayed here until 11:3' p. m., and asked me not to be angry because he Just asked har for the sake of courtesy. I saw him uptown and I asked him to walk down the street with me. He went two or three steps with me and stonnpd
and said I should go on because he had to go to dinner. I love him and he says that he loves me more than he does anybody in the world. Why
did he act that way? Do yuo think he loves me? t ' LITTLE MUTT. If the boy says he loves you he probably does. It was, very thoughtful of the other girl to slip away so that the boy could not take her home. You are fortunate in having so true a friend. Be just as generous as your girl friend and do nothing to prevent the boy from liking her if he chooses. It may be that the boy showed an interest in the other girl because he is tired of going only with you. If such Is the case you should let him enjoy other girls for a while. But if he is so uncertain in his love and you have reason to think he cares more for someone else than he does you, you should break your engagement. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a friend who would like to stop smoking. He has tried hard enough to stop it, but can't. Can you suggest a way? - FRED M. He cannot stop without using will power. If he wants to stop badly enough he will conquer his desire. Some men who are trying to break away from the habit keep a little flag root in their pockets to chew when they think they cannot stand it longer without a smoke. Others chew gum. t

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON ,
"SEE IF HE'S GONE." The color was gradually coming back to my mother-in-law's face. I stood by her chair, forgetting her insults, remembering nothing save that she was old and a sick woman. "Is there anything I can get for you? I asked as I saw the strained look in her eyes die out. "Nothing, thank you," sh said. Then io my surprise she reached up her band, took mine in hers, and pressed it feebly. I could not understand her quick transition from bitter contempt to friendly warmth. Evidently something in my words had startled her and had changed her viewpoint. Bat I put speculation aside until some more opportune time. The imperative thing for me was to minister to her needs, mentally and physically. So I returned the pressure of her hand and waited silently for her next words. They were not long in coming. "Please go to the door," she halfwhispered, " apd see if that awful man is gone. We must not leave here until we are sure he is nowhere about." "No Concern of Yours." "You are sure you'll be all right?" I asked anxiously.
"Perfectly sur" she returned, and
in her voice was the old note of im-
perlousness which I knew betcker.ed
her return to her usual self. So I left
her sitting quietiy in one of the rock
ing chairs which the rest room bad.
opened the door and cautiously looked
out. No one was in sight, and I vn tured further out into the building.
I wanted to assure myself that Harry Underwood was nowhere to be
seen. As I walked down one of the
aisles between the tanks of seals his
voice sounded in my ears.
There was a note in it which told
me that I no longer need be afraid of his pnnojing me, at least not on this
occasion. He was palpably nervous
and anxious, and his words were hurried: "Just forget my spiel of a few
minutes ago." ho said in an offhand manner which with him serves instpad
of an apology. "I've got somethin
important to say to you, something which went clean out of my head. Do
not let Dicky's mother know who I am.
at least that I'm Lll's husband or any
thing about Lil and me until I have a

chance to see Dicky. The old girl
imagines 6he has a grievance against
Lil, and there is no use opening old sores unless you have to."
I gazed at him open-mouthed. "I
don't understand," I said vaguely.
His eyes dropped before mine. He
stirred uneasily. "No, you wouldn't," he said evasively, and then, as if with
a sudden determination, "there is no
need you ever should know. It is a matter that doesn't concern you in ihe least. Take my advice and don't ever try to find out." "But Mrs. Graham does know who you are. I just told her." He uttered a long, low whistle, which expressed consternation more vividly than any words would have done. "Well, the fat's already in the fire." Then he commented cynically, "I wish you joy of the mess. Good morning." He raised his hat, made me a courtly bow, which is one of his chief accomplishments, and went toward the ferry entrance, leaving me bewildered and upset with what he had just told me. Chagrin, anger, jealousy all
swept over me. Here, from another source was a
confirmation of my suspicions that
there had been some secret in the past life of my husband and Lillian Gale of which I had never been told. I stood perfectly still for a moment or two while the conflicting emotions which Hary Underwood's words had raised had their way wUh me. Then another thought crept into my mind. What was Harry Underwood's real motive-in giving me this warning? Was he sincere in his desire to avoid trouble or had he taken advantage of the unexpected situation to try to lessen my confidence in Dicky? "Has he gone?" My mother-in-law's anxious query greeted me as soon as I opened the door of the woman's rest room In the Aquarium, where she was siting. . "Yes, I saw him go through the ferry entrance, and the boat is just leaving." I did not think it necessary to tell her that Harry Underwood, the
man wnose unexpected presence had so annoyed her, had spoken to me
again, or that he had warned me
against telling her that he was Lillian
Gale's husband.
When she had Imagined that Harrv
Underwood was a friend of mine and
had enraged me by her insulting words
wnicn ne had subjected us. I had told
her that he and his wife, Lillian Gale, were Dicky's friends and not mine. She had found some hidden signifi
cance in my words that had brought
on one or ner neart attacks. While I was ministering to her I had heard her
murmur:
"Lillian Gale! Lillian Gale! How
blind I've been,"
High School Seniors
Present "Green Stockings
at Washington Tuesday The high school seniors will present their class play, "Green Stockings" at the Washington theater, Tuesday afternoon and evening. The matinee performance will open at 2 : 30 o'clock, and the night performance at 8:15 o'clock. "Green Stockings" is a well-known English play that has been a favorite with theater goers. The story of the play is based on the Old English custom that requires the unmarried elder daughter to wear green stockings at the marriage of her younger sisters. Celia Farraday has worn the green stockings twice, and rather than put them on for a third time, announces her engagement to a military hero who does not exist. Complications result when her fiance appears in the flesh and the ending is interesting and satisfactory. Miss Phyllis Butler has the role of Celia, and the hero is played by Clarence Chamness. There is an excellent supporting caste, selected from members of the senior class. The play has been coached by Arthur J. Beriault, who has directed two former plays for the high school, both of which were very successful.
