Comrades" SYNOPSIS: Harry Underwood rejoins Madge Graham and his wife, Lillian, in the Greenwich Village hideaway of Madge's father, Charles Spencer, service chief, bringing with him the disguises they are going to wear when they attend the rendezvous between Madge's husband, Dicky, and the mysterious man and woman who are plotting against him. When Lillian reminds Harry that the VOUR 18 tomorrow night, Madge remembers that she has forgotten to keep Dicky posted AR to her whereabouts, AR she had promised.

"Hold on a second!" she adjured me.

"Don't stop me," I said frantically. could I ever have forgotten to let Dicky know just where I was?" "I don't suppose you've had anything on your mind and heart for the last 24 hours or so, have you she said. "But I have an amend- Adele Garrison. Adele Garrison. ment to put to this resolution.

Let me telephone the Dicky-bird." For the fraction of a second resentment flamed in me. Then, as I realized that she must have a reason for making the proposal, I let my hand drop to my side. "Of course," I said. "It doesn't matter who talks to him just so he knows where I am." "It matters a good deal, and you know it," she retorted, "but there are reasons--I'll explain 'em to you later--why I want to do the telephoning just now." She took down the telephone and gave the number of Dicky's studio. Then I listened tensely to a onesided conversation with someone who was not Dicky.

When she hung up the receiver again, she was patently thoughtful. "He isn't there." she said. "They don't know to expect A sudden intuition seized me. "How long since he's been there?" I asked. There wasn't the slightest hesitation in her reply, but I sensed something hidden.

"I didn't ask that." she said. "He's always around there part of the day, you know." I bit. my lips and clenched my fingernails into my palms in a desperate effort tor self-control. knew suddenly, as if she had told me. someone at the studio had told her that Dicky had not been there all day.

Madge Calls Hotel. "I'll call the magazine," she said, but I stopped her. "Let me call the Lansfield I said, and after a swift look at my determined face she stepped back from the telephone. I seized it and called the hotel number, receiving a prompt answer. "This is Mrs.

NOTHING bridegroom is more "Well, common than to I hear a not say: anyway, am family or Tom's family." There speaks the voice For, after the ceremony is over, they find to their surprise that they are just as much wed to each other's fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers as they are to each other.

Now sometimes in-laws are curses and sometimes they are blessings. There are trouble-making mothers-in-law who, according to statistics, are first aid to more divorces than all other causes combined. There are bossy mothers-in-law who feel that they have a right to run their sons' and daughters' homes and tell their children's husbands and wives where they get off and on. are mothers-in-law whose chief indoor sport is picking And there are other in-laws who take the boys and girls their children marry into their affections and treat them as if they were their very own. There are in-laws who never meddle in their children's pies, but always stand ready to help.

There are in-laws who buck their own children up to do their duty and are largely responsible for making their daughters good wives and their sons husbands who keep their wives on their knees thanking heaven for their luck in getting them. But, whatever faults or virtues the families of the newlyweds have, there is one trait that they seem to have in common, and that is mania for visiting their children that amounts to positive obsession. They are never content to stay at home and apparently is never occurs to them to go anywhere except to Mamie's or Tom's. They are regard convenience of the poor newly weds, or how much they forever In noon and -without the slightest popping, are running up the grocery bill, or how bitter are the thoughts of Ton at having to sleep on 8 cot in the bathroom because mother has flopped down in his bed. Seemingly it never dawns on the minds of their families that Mamie and Tom get married in order to be able live by themselves and be alone together, and that they would like to have a little privacy, and their house to themselves without being cluttered up by relatives.

One of these poor unfortunate victims of their in-laws sends me this call. He says: "We have been married about two years and live in a two-room apartment. My wife's people live six miles in the country and her father and sister come in town for work every day and they eat lunch with us. They come so early in the morning that I have to dress in the kitchen and they sit around while we eat breakfast. On Sundays they all descend upon us, so that we never have any of the privacy that one's home should afford in which to rest.

"I do not want to be unreasonable or inhospitable and I realize that marriage is a give-and-take proposition, but I think we would have a much better chance at happiness if my wife's family would let us alone a little and understand that it is best for a young married couple to live their own lives, in their own home and not be thrown with either of their families too much. "I have been rule to my wife's people, but I have shown them that I was not overanxious to have them with us all the time, but they won't take the hint. We are moving soon to a nicer and larger apartment and I am afraid that this is going to make bad matters Blocks REPEATS THE NEW FABRIC COAT THAT LOOKS LIKE PERSIAN LAMB 39.95 Four feet away, this coat looks like its fabulously expensive sister, Persian Lamb fur!

With an effort I wrenched my mind back and from frantic speculation over Dicky's whereabouts to consideration of the night's masquerading adventure.

And I was startled when Lillian held up an attractive, fairly modish silk gown, but one which bore the stamp "old lady" on it as plainly as if it had been printed on its shop label. "Don't flinch!" she said, laughing. "We're going to put 20 or more years on you." She turned to her husband. "Do you want us to dress first or do you want to make us up before we dress?" "Dress by all means," he said. "But leave your hair loose and Heaven help you if I detect a bit of cosmetics on your freshly washed faces." (Continued tomorrow.) By ADELE Inc.) GARRISON the operator replied.

"Mr. Graham called three times today, but said you were not to call him, that he would call again." "Just a second," I said. Putting Madge Learns Dicky Has Been Trying to Reach Her. my hand over the mouthpiece, I whispered to Lillian. "Is it permissible to give this number?" I said.

"In this case, yes," she whispered back, and I took my hand from the mouthpiece. "If Mr. Graham calls again, will you tell him that he can reach me at this gave six and after 10 o'clock tonight?" Will Give Him Message. "I will see that he receives that message," she told me. I hung up the receiver and related the conversation to Lillian.

She made no comment, but her lips pressed more closely together as she turned back to the telephone. "I'll call the magazine now," she said, and this time I felt that all my breath was suspended until she hung up the telephone "He hasn't been there today," she said in matter-of-fact tones that slightly eased my "Who answered you?" tensioned. "The office boy, I imagine, and he acted as though he had the place pretty much to himself. Well! you've covered every angle you can. When we get back tonight, we'll call him again.

Then There Is Only One Thing to Do, and That Is to Be Firm in Your Demands for Less Frequent Visits From Them. worse and that her sisters will come to spend their nights and even have their dates at our place. What would you advise me to do?" Well, I would certainly advise you to move into a smaller instead of a larger apartment, because if you don't your worst fears will be realized. Your in-laws will never go home at all and it is a cinch that your sisters-in-law and their dates will keep you awake half the night. Furthermore, I would suggest to you that you observe the tactics that women use in defending themselves against their in-laws.

You never see a husband's family have the run of the house. Maybe the wife feeds them on cold shoulder is the reason they don't come back for 8 second helping. DOROTHY DIX. HERE'S AN IDEA FROM THE LONG-AGO. DEAR MISS DIX-I don't hold with what you say about women not hating to be called old maids.

Matrimony is a woman's sphere, and she doesn't get a husband she feels that she has failed, no matter what else she has accomplished. Speaking for myself, I would marry any kind of a man if he could even gasp out "yes" at the altar just to have MRS. attached to my name. Look at the dignity it gives one. Go into any shop and you may see a quiet-looking spinster asking to have her purchases sent home.

The writes "Mrs." and looks get the name. The customer says "Miss" Brown and the color rushes to her cheeks at the clerk's contemptuous look. Why? Because she hasn't a husband. VERBUM SAP. Answer -Well, doesn't this sound the hair trunk in the attic? It since I have heard a woman kind of a man just to write MRS.

I thought bit of idiocy. husband was a badge of respectability public. But nowadays whether a and honored to bear his name deis. It you think that just being able to put Mrs.

before her name confers such a distinction on a woman, how do you account for it that so many of the prominent women call themselves Miss even after they are married. DOROTHY DIX. KEEP YOUR RESPECTABILITY. DEAR DOROTHY DIX-I have been married for 10 years to a man whom I love dearly and to whom I have been a good wife. I have sacrificed my own wishes to his in everything we have done.

I have helped him in his profession. I have made him an attractive and pleasant home. I have kept myself a good-looking, interesting woman. Now I found out that he has been unfaithful to me and everybody has known it but myself. So I have come to the conclusion that if I went and made the fool out of my husband that he has been making out out of me I would at least have the satisfaction of being even with him, although the thought of doing this repels me.

What do you think? GRISELDA. Answer--Don't do it. You would get no happiness out of revenging yourself on your husband. It would only make you the more miserable, because if you betrayed him as he has betrayed you, you would lose your self-respect. You can live without him and hold up your head and look the world in the face, but you could not live without your own self-respect.

The shame of having degraded yourself to his level would kill you. DOROTHY DIX. (Tomorrow--The Drunkard.) YOUNG' MODERNS A a0 4. af 5. a PIN-IN SPORTS SHIELDS, colorfast nainsook, 7 colors.
