I pERSONAL$

Adele Garrison's New REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

it THEIR SECOND WHAT DICKY DID WHEN" HI' Hi:ALIZr.D THAT MADGE ILU SEEN HIM WITH EDITH. I have heard of people being "stricken dumb" with amazement, and I. nearly experienced the sensation myself when over the coffee and cheese after our little dinner at Broquin's, Dicky calmly announced that he had bought me a hat. Of course the mere announcement, although unusual, was not calculated 'to etun a wife, but after my expedience of a few hours before, which I had seen him select aj:d pay for a beautiful hat ana a suit for "Edith," the art student from Virginia, whose friendship with him had caused me unhapplness, his words filled me with uneasy bewilderment. "Was it possible that I had been mistaken In the deduction I had drawn from what I had seen, or was Dicky cleverly trying to get out of a situation which Mrs. Durkee's description of our shopping at Hambell's where I had seen him. must have warned him needed adjusting? Little Mrs. Durkee's power of speech, however, had not ben taken away from her. She cazed openmouthed at D'.c v for a moment, and then gurgled with enjoyment of the situation. "How perfectly funny," she exclaimed. "Dkl you get it at Hambel's, too? Mrs. Graham boutrht a black and white hat there, herself, when she decided the other was too expensive. I'll bet you were in the department at almost the same time. Tell us about It this instant. What color is it?" . "It MuVt Do " "One question at a time, please, little lady." Dicky smiled down at her, but I saw that there was the tiny white line around his lips, which always betrays to me Dicky's intensity of emotion or concentration. "Yes, I bought it at Hembel's. As to the time. I cannot satisfy you. I really do not remember the hour. And the color is blue." "Blue!" Mrs. Durkee was almost bouncing in her chair with excitement by this time. "O! suppose you bought the very one Mrs. Gaham had picked out! How much did you pay for it?" "Forty bucks." "What'H that?" Mrs. Graham pouted prettily. . "It must be he same one. Oh, no, it couldn't be the same. You saw the girl who purchased your hat, didn't you, Mrs. Graham? You said

F'owers of Spwing fcC By Winif-ed Black

Sweet are de dew on woses. Sweet is the f'owers of spwing." High and clear the childish treble trills through the sharp air of the glorious day. Yesterday it rained all day long, from soggy dawn to dismal dusk, it rained. Not a line, seasonable rain, with the sweep and passion of a splendid storm, but just a mean, whimpering, whining, fretful, drizzle of a rain. Today the sun is shining the glorious sun of the most glorious month in all the glorious year and the trees, yesterday so woebegone, today are dressed like the bride of a wedding, and not a leaf stirs. There's a hush of awed expectancy over all the air. What arc they waiting for out there in the yellow sunshine, the silent, motionless trees? The little boy is not silent. He is too busy for that. He leans far out of his window and sines. What a queer, old-fashioned sontf! Where did he learn it, and how did he get the grammar so absurdly twisted? "Sweet are de dew on de woses. Sweet is the Powers of spwing." His voice fairly trembles with the ecstasy of living. See, a brown squirrel leaps vrayly from one branch to another. Hark! what wild call of over-dying Mock? What a world of delight it is that spreads before the astonished and joyous eyes of the little boy who sine:. Let's Co Strolling. Yesterday he cut his thumb, last night he broke his wagon. Thi" morning the little boy across the street is mad and will not play with him no. not even when he holds hi bow and arrow aloft and beckons, Indian fashion, and the puppy has hurt his foolish foot and will not run with the little boy at all. Put what matter any of these thincs to the little boy so lonsr as he can watch tho leaves rtutttr in tho air? He leans from bis window and sins. "Sweet are de dew on de woses. Sweet is de rower of t-pwintr." He looks upon his world as his father, Adam, looked upon it, and he rinds it good, and nothing can make him afraid or sad or wearyhearted. Dear little boy, I hope you won't learn so many new-fangled songs that the old one you sine today will be quite gone from your mind- May you always f.nd time and heart of Krace to lean from our windowhigh and sing whenever the bright sun kindles the world to glorious

tt she was so pretty." "But I might have been mistaken," I interposed hastily, feeling that my words meant far more than their context warranted . I was looking at Dicky with lips parted in breathless excitement by this time, wondering what his next revelation might be. "The hat is of dark blue straw, with a brim of chiffon of the same color," Dicky replied. Did I fancy that his voice trembled ever so slightly? "and around the crown is a wreath of cornflowers." "It's the very same!" Mrs. Durkee declared. "Well, if that isn't the greatest luck! You'll have your hat after all, Mrs. Graham. And it suits you to a T. You have no idea how well it looks on her." she said, turning to Dicky. What Dicky Said. "Oh! yes, I have," my husband returned. "I know pretty well what suits her. I've made a pretty exhaustive study of her face you know." He smiled at me and in the smile was all the royal tenderness that makes Dicky a kingly lover. I felt as if an iron hand had clutched my heart and wrenched it. What a mockery and sham his words and smile were, if, as I suspected, he was trying to lull my suspicions with a trumped-up story of a hat! But, on the other hand, if I should have been utterly mistaken if there should be some really good explanation for vvh.it I had seen how I had misjudged my husband! I tried to answer his smile, but I am afraid it was but a poor caricature, for I saw a look of dismayed comprehension flash into Dicky's eyes, and knew that he realized at last that I must have seen him with "Edith," at Hambel's His lips set in a straight line, and I knew that he had resolved on some course of conduct on one of the lightning flashes of resolution with which Dicky solves his problems. "You can't guess what else I bought today, besides that hat for my wife." He smiled gaily at Mrs. Durkee. "I do hope it's diamonds for me, Dicky-bird," she dimpled coquettly "You shall have pecks of 'em," he promised carelessly, "but not tonight. You didn't hold the lucky number, this trip." He paused tantalizingly, glanced hurriedly at me before he spoke. "I bought a suit for a pretty woman who is not my wife." he announced theatrically. beauty. Be gone, dull care; I'll none of you! I'll take a leaf from the little boy's full book of simple happiness. What is it to me that black sorrow broods at the gate? I'll slip around another way and befool her sombre eyes, .and she'll sit there and wait and I'll be way down the road with the little boy, singing with him at the top of my tired voice. Come, little boy, let's go strolling in the sunlit world. Iet'6 make wreaths and decorate the puppy; let's tie garlands on the door handle, so that the most prosiac worldling who comes to knock must for one blessed moment remember the days of his vanished youth; let's pin a bouquet of sweet fragrance above the fireplace, and all the time let's sing the sweet old-fashioned song you teach me. Eyes to Sco. No. I shan't dream of trying to change it, not one syllable or inflection. "Sweet is de f'owers of spwing." May we all have eyes like the little boy's eyes to see and love the glories of thte glorious old world of ours. L. M.

HONEYMOON

coast defense eis hidden in : private gardens

Cannon on Private Estates Two and a Half Miles Inland Hidden by Trees and Shrubbery. NEW YORK, March 8. Huge mortars standing on concrete emplacements and abundantly supplied with half ton projectiles were erected during the war among the flowers and shrubbery of private gardens in New York City and elsewhere alonj the Atlantic coast, ready to repel the attacks of German naval or airships, Maximilian Toch, one of the first American camcufleurs, told the New York section of the American Chemical society here last night. Mr. Tech, who directed several of the navy's important camouflage projects, spoke with the consent of Sec'y Daniels. He described how honey suckle, morning glory and Ivy, as well as paints, had been employed to conceal or louer the visibility of coastal fortifications. Ambrose channel, the mouth of New York harbor, was protected, in addition to the guns in the regular army forts, by mortars having a ran-e of 12 miles, said Mr. Toch. Some of these auxiliary cannon, ho declared, were placed two and a half miles inland on private estates anJ so concealed by arrangements of trees, shrubbery and flowers that pasersby were ignorant of their erection, and even aviators found "little or no evidence" of the location. They were manned by army gun crews, ready for instant action. The camoufleur described also his work in disguising navy yards and docks along the Atlantic coast, notably the Pensacola and Key Webt bases, which were exposed to attacks by German raiders and submarines operating in the south Atlantic. The navy believed, Mr. Toch asserted, that the Germans had a secret base on the north coast of Cuba, adding that "rich German firms in Havana were notoriously aiding tho central powers," and that there were "more German spits and propagandists on the island than in the United States." Mr. Toch declared tho army "did not take kindly to camouflage at the beginning of the war" and said that he had 'Vreat difficulty" in convincing army officers of the necessity of camouflaging situations adjacent to navy yards Prior to the war, Mr. Toch gained a reputation as a camoufleur by lowering tho visibility of the forts at the Pacific entrance to tho Panama canal.

Critics of the league of nations plan are not keeping faith with the country, declared Dr. Anna Howard Shaw in an address before the Illinois Bar association here last night. "Many of them have not even read the covenant draft," she said. "One-half of congress gets up and declares the plan muet not Interfere with the Monroe doctrine." declared Dr. Shaw. "The other half then declares Great Britain ought to free Ireland. That is not consistency. If we are to have a league of nations we must expect questions regarding our affairs If we are to think we have a right to question other nations' affairs." FIRST IN THE NEWS-TIMES
