Mr. and Mrs. Sallie being the Confessions of a new wife... by Gladys Baker Illustrated by Paul Robinson Copyright 1925 by Publishers Autocaster Service Barrie's Confession "Why did I hold your hand?" the young musician repeated my question with a recondite, unsmiling face. "Do you really want me to tell you?" he continued and I was conscious again of his Byronesque beauty also of a subtle, occult magnetism that held me almost against my will. "I think I'd better not," he finally concluded and there were unsounded depths of sadness in his voice. "Please," I coerced, "as a matter of propriety I think you "In the first place what's the idea of coming home alone in a Paris taxi this time of night? And what kind of opera is it that lasts until 2 o'clock?" should at least attempt to give some explanation of your unconventional behavior in the box." I tried to be severe but failed utterly on account of the exhuberant humor of the festive night. "There are two reasons why I cannot tell you." He pressed the point. "What are they?" I insisted. "Lemoyne and Curtiss," he announced and once again his eyes were grave. What did he mean? Why should he place Lemoyne and my husband in the same class? Was he bound to the young singer by bonds as strong as those of matrimony? It was a complicated situation and suddenly I was swept by a cataclysm of revulsion and doubt. I hated myself for having been flirtatious and for having encouraged Barrington Pierce. I felt impelled to leave the smoke-clouded rooms and get back to the wholesome environment of Curtiss' protecting love. Disapproval must have manifested itself upon my face, for he resumed the conversation in a pleading voice. "See, I have offended you and I am deeply apologetic," he said, "but do not censure me too sternly because it is not my fault. Can one help but admire the rainbow as it gleams through fragrant mist or fail to be thrilled at the first moist violets of spring? Can one be held responsible for the joyousness that comes with the flash of a blue-bird's wing across a patch of sunny sky or sit unmoved through a symphony of Brahms?" He paused momentarily, and by some feminine intuition I knew that he was about to make a declaration of love. "Nor can I repress my—." "Please don't!" I pleaded, lifting my hand. "You're ruining our friendship and creating an impossible situation for us both. Go back to Lemoyne. She is free to offer you something in return for your love. I can not. I am in love with my husband. Good night." It was perhaps none too courteous a thing to do, but while the others were engaged in music and conversation I slipped quietly up the stairs, secured my wrap, and then, just as inconspicuously, stepped out of the house into the chill, autumnal beauty of the night. "Nor can I repress my—" "I please don't!" I pleaded, lifting my hand. "You're ruining our friendship and creating an impossible situation for us both. Go back to Lemoyne. She is free to offer you something in return for your love. I can not. I am in love with my husband. Good night." It was perhaps none too courteous a thing to do, but while the others were engaged in music and conversation I slipped quietly up the stairs, secured my wrap, and then, just as inconspicuously, stepped out of the house into the chill, autumnal beauty of the night. THE GATHERING STORM I hailed a passing cab. As is the custom with most taxicabs in Paris, the top of the small car had been lowered and I welcomed the breeze, which was cool and refreshing, as it whipped my hair across my face. I was determined to tell Curtiss everything that had happened, not incriminating the young musician, however, but placing the blame entirely upon myself. I was suffused with regret for not having returned to him immediately after the opera, but I would explain and I felt confident that everything would be all right. Curtiss was so fine, and I realized all over again, that his devotion for me was by far the greatest thing in my life. I opened the door. The room was dark. No doubt Curtiss had retired, but I switched on the light and saw him sitting beside the window smoking his pipe as he was accustomed to do when he was absorbed or worried, or both. "Honey-dear!" I exclaimed, "what on earth are you doing up so late? Why, it's almost morning—" I was stopped by the harsh expression on his face. "Don't you think it would be more becoming to us both, if I asked you that?" he shot back. Alarmed by his sudden coldness, I moved swiftly in his direction. "Sweetheart——" I began. "Never mind about that," he swept aside the term of endearment, "there are a few things I want you to explain. If it isn't asking too much." Sarcasm colored his voice. "In the first place, what's the idea of coming home alone in a Paris taxi this time of night? And what kind of opera is it that lasts until 2 o'clock? In the third place, I presume you've been in the all-absorbing company of Barrington Pierce. After this, we either go to parties together or we stay at home." Here was a new Curtiss. Never before had I seen him so firm. He had made it impossible now for me to tell him the things that were clamoring at my heart. A door of sympathy and understanding that had existed between us closed sharply and left me coldly aloof. "Well? Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" he asked. "Yes, because you are my husband I suppose you have that right. I will give you the facts." The mechanical precision of a victrola punctuated my words and thought. "After the opera I went to a little dinner at the DeWight's." "With Pierce?" "No, with Mr. and Mrs. DeWight. Lemoyne and Barry came in later," I explained. "And then?" Because of his unyielding attitude I could not reveal the things, which even now, once uttered, would undoubtedly draw us close. "Well, couldn't you get your temperamental musician to bring you home?" "Please be fair, Curtiss. Barry had absolutely nothing to do with this and no one even knew when I left. I hated to break up the party and, besides, one likes to be a good sport." "My God, Sallie!" he exclaimed, "that's the universal slogan of your set, 'a good sport,' 'a good sport.' You don't any of you know anything about real sportsmanship. You think drinking cocktails, and smoking cigarettes and staying up all hours of the night, seeking the admiration of other men, is being 'a good sport.' Well it's not! The wives who are 'good sports' are the ones who want to have a good time just as much as you do but who resist cocktails and cigarettes and put a stop to the overtures of these expert suitors that float about. The 'good sports' are helpmates to their husbands. They're thinking constructively instead of tearing down; they're making homes and rearing clear-eyed kiddies and, incidentally, they're finding much more happiness in their tiny rose gardens than in all your damnable cabarets. They're the 'good sports' of the world." He was stopped by his own emotional force. "Better be careful, Curtiss. You'll be sorry of all this," I said when he was through. Then I started towards my own room, which was next to one occupied by him. I opened the door and left him sitting alone, for another word would have revealed the heartbreak in my voice. This was our first serious quarrel and to me it was an epochal event. (Continued Next Week) anteed, grade A raw, grade A pasteurized, and grade B pasteurized. This approval is continued as long as the health department is functioning and meeting the requirements. The benefits of a milk inspection department are hard to measure in dollars and cents. It offers a reliable index from which to choose milk of a high quality. It makes the dairyman, who is lax in his methods, try a little harder to put out a better product to compete with the man who is putting out milk of a higher quality. To the dairy industry, it offers technical assistance and advice in times of trouble and advice and assistance in the production of good milk as reasonable as it can be produced and distributed. This service is given the public and dairy industry of Orange county through the office of Dr. V. G. Presson, county health officer, and J. B. Bichan, dairy inspector. Since the inception of the milk inspection in Orange county, the per capita consumption of milk has increased steadily, as has the quality of milk. It has been noted that an increase in quality invariably increases the consumption of milk, which, in turn, increases the business of the dairy industry. The increase in the dairy industry automatically increases the wealth of the community, as there is a constant turn-over of money in communities where dairying is carried on to any extent. LEGION NOTES In preparation for the state-wide campaign of education for the passage by the voters of California of the $20,000,000 Farm and Home Loan act to carry on the program of aiding veterans to purchase homes and farms, Harold G. Ferguson of Hollywood, judge advocate of the California department of the American Legion, has been made chairman of the legion's committee which will canvass the state in favor of the act. Ferguson is a former commander of Hollywood post of the legion. "Passage of the $20,000,000 Farm and Home Loan act, which will provide funds for continuing the work of the state veterans' welfare board, means much to the state of California by way" NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that on the 9th day of March, 1926, a certain petition was presented to the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, which petition is as follows: TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA: We, the undersigned, citizen owners of land located within the hereinafter proposed district, whose names appear as such owners of land upon the last completed assessment roll of the county in which all the acreage of said proposed district is situated, to-wit: Orange County, in the State of California, hereby respectfully request your honorable body to organize into a public cemetery district to be known as "Anahaim Cemetery District," under an act of the State of California, entitled "An Act to Provide for the Organization and Government of Public Cemetery Districts," as amended; the territory in said Orange County within certain boundaries are definitely described as follows, to-wit: Beginning at the one-quarter (¼) Section corner on the East Line of Section 2, Township 4 South, Range 10 West, S.

(Continued Next Week) Dairies of County Make High Score Stand at Top of the List in Quality of Milk That Orange county enjoys a remarkable milk supply is evidenced by a surprise milk scoring contest just completed by the bureau of dairy control of the state department of agriculture, giving a rating to the county of 96. This is one of the highest scores in the state of California and as California enjoys milk of higher quality than any other states, as a whole, it may be safely said that this is one of the highest scores obtained anywhere. The state department of agriculture, through its bureau of dairy control, authorizes cities, groups of cities or counties to grade their milk supply, providing they meet the requirements and regulations of the bureau of dairy control. This designates milk by a grade, according to its quality, such as guar- Passage of the $20,000,000 Farm and Home Loan act, which will provide funds for continuing the work of the state veterans' welfare board, means much to the state of California by way of development and will not cost the taxpayers a penny, since every cent of the money loaned is repaid by the veterans with interest." Ferguson said in assuming the chairmanship of the committee. "The present veterans Farm and women who served their country passed Loan act is the best piece of veterans' legislation for relief of the men and by any state, and the $20,000,000 act is framed along similar lines. "The money provided by the loan act of 1922 is practically exhausted at the present time, and the passage of the new act is necessary if the excellent work is to be continued by the state of California." Before the actual campaign in favor of the act is begun, we are asking that every voter in California register at once so as to be eligible to vote at the coming fall elections." Palm Beach society is said to be swapping butlers. Nobody objects to that. It is the somewhat prevalent practice of swapping husbands in so-called society that suggests material for sermonizing.

New machines, new methods, new ideas have been perfected under our system of customer ownership. Electric motors in factories, electric pumps on the farms, washing machines in the homes, electric cars everywhere—These are some of the benefits resulting from the vision and hard work of the electrical pioneers. And yet the cost is lower. Think of this the next time you see an egg.
