Chapters From a Woman's Life By Jaft Phelps

A HARROWING 8 ITU ATI ON

Chapter 72 Mrs. Page was very difficult for some time after Fldo's death. She missed the dog, was restless. Impatient, often cross, and it "was always to me. Walter simply "ducked," as he expressed it, when his mother was out of sorts and left me to, bear her ill-nature as best I could. A year before I could scarcely have endured it, but I had learned to care for my husband's mother not as I loved my own, mother, but in a different way. I also had learned to appreciate her many good points. So when she was particularly exasperating I tried to apply what I had told Jennie to myself: I would be old pome time, and should want people to be nice to me, so I would do my best to be nice to her because she was old, and because she was Walter's mother. Grace Harter gave a party, ona of her picnic affairs. Mrs. Page had gone away for a few days, to my relief, to visit a friend in Boston. To please both George and Walter, I consented to leave Jack with Jennie and go at first I had refused because of Mrs. Page being away. "He's getting to be a big boy, hell be all right,' Walter urged, and you know Jennie adores him." "I know but I feel so cafe when your mother's here." "Do let the mater stay away a wMle! Gosh! She's been awful since Fido died." 'Aren't you ashamed to tallc eo of your mother?" I asked repressing a smile. I knew Walter loved his mother, was very proud of her, but sometimes one hearing him talk would not suspect he cared for her. v "Well, never mind! Well go, George. Tell Grace to make some of her delicious gingerbread." We planned what we would take after George left, and in such homely talk I forgot to think of worrying about leaving Jack. There really was no reason why I should worry. He was well, Jennie trustworthy. No thought of warning Jennie about anything, save my boy's food, and being careful he didn't get hurt by falling, entered my mind. We would be home early, I would put him to bed. It was Saturday, and a noonday affair. Walter laughed at me a little for my cautions as it was. Said he: "If you had a dozen you wouldn't be so fussy. But a mother with one chick is a nuisance at times." I had kept them waiting perhaps a minute. We had a delightful time and reached home a little after five. "Where's Jack?" I asked. "A lady came, the young lady In Mr. Graham's studio, and took him for a ride. She said she'd be back In an hour." "What time did she take him? I asked ag quietly as I could. I felt myself turn white, but Grace's hand on my arm steadied me. . "About three, ma'am, right after I fed him." "Walter," I asked, "did you tell Helen Ralstrom I was going? Did she know your mother was away?" "Why, yes. I believe I mentioned both to her. Why?" "Don't you see!" I cried, "she knew

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: When a dinner is served in courses and "a salad ade of pineapple, banana and a cher- " ry is the only thing put on the table when do you eat it? The dinner I went to had cocktail, and then the meat and vegetables were served together and then came the dessert I don't know when the alad came In. It was on a lettuce leaf. Please tell me if it Is permissable to serve fruit salad with cake as a dessert. I never had the opportunity to go in society until lately when fortune favored me, and now I am somewhat embarrassed. " KATIE TRIM. You eat the salad during the meat course Sometimes the salad is not put on the table, but is served as a separate course. When you are In doubt about such matters watch your hostess and as soon as she starts to eat, do the same. You know it is correct for the guests when they sdt down to the table to wait until the hostess starts to eat and then with that as a signal they commence too. Fruit salad is sometimes served as a desert When this is the case it Is brought in as desert and not placed on the table in the beginning of the meal.

Jackie would be with the servants! Oh, where has she taken my baby?"

"Keep hold of yourself." Grace cautioned. I saw her glance at Walter. "Walter, where has she taken him? Why don't you say something? Do something? Who knows what has happened?" I was now trembling so I could scarcely stand. "Oh, why did I leave him?" "There's no need to worry, Doreen," Walter said, but his voice sounded strange, forced. "Helen liked the little chap, will soon bring him back. I shouldn't know where to look if I went after them." "Was it a taxi they went In?" Grace asked Jennie, who was weeping, declaring the lady said we would be glad

to have him go for an airing when Bhe objected. - - , . !

"Yes, ma'am. A yellow one." "Those careless taxi drivers!" I moaned running to the door and looking up and down the street "I'll telephone her aunt," Walter said, not loking at me. - "Do," Grace said. "She's probably stopped at home to show him to her aunt It would be quite a natural thing to do," she added, taking my arm and leading me back into the halL "She's been tnere and gone," Walter said when he joined us. She'll probably be here in a few minutes. 1 Try and calm yourself, Doreeh; . I'm sure Jack is all right "Did you ask when she leftr. I asked. "Yes, she left about 4 o'clock." "Something has happened to my baby!" I almost screamed rushing out into the street , (To Be Continued)

Short Sugar Sap' Rail - Reported Near Carthage CARTHAGE, Ind., Feb. 10. A short sugar eap run was reported from a camp near , here, during the warm weather spell which occurred recently. Only 18 gallons of syrup were made. The return of cold weather stopped the flow, ice forming over the eap on the last day. The quality of the "sugar water" was reported good and demand for syrup strong at the regular price of $2.50. The camp is owned by Ed Adkins, and comprises 2,000 sugar trees, being probably the largest "sugar bush" in the state.
