IR A R ool T0 DEMONSTRATE FRUIT HANDLING. lorid Citrus Exchange Will Have Car in Agricultural Train. The Florida Citrus Exchange will! be represented in the State agricul-| tural demonstration train to leu\'e| Palatka for a tour of Florida Novem-| ber 16 by a special car. In this car will be displayed various sizes and grades of oranges and grapefruits and all the paraphernalia necessary to the proper picking, packing and bkandling of the product, The Coast Line is furnishing the equipment for this train. The car to be used by the Exchange will be loaded in Tampa next Thursday. It will make the southern trip with the train and will then return as far north as Ocala. Exchange Manager Temple be- lieves that much good will be done through the Exchange exhibit, Large views of interiors of packing houses in Florida are at hand and will be on display in the car. These will show good, bad and indifferent packing houscs. Also will be shown white ily fruit, washed and unwash- ed, and the difference existing in fruit that has been washed properly and that which has not been washed at all or half washed. Oranzes secured from the Florence Villa, Winter Park, Tavarese, and Tampa packing houses will he shown. The grapefruit display will “ame trom Manatee county, Flor- e Villa and Miami. Grading ethods employed by the Indian iver Association at Mims and at mth Lake Apopka will be shown. At one end of the car, boxes will be loaded and stripped to demon- strate the proper method ef loading and stripping boxes in cars. The Exchange has received a great many inquiries from small associations and small shippers asking for informa- tion as to the proper manner of loading and stripping. Samples of gloves using in picking, grading and packing, picking bask- ets, field boxes and the kind of springs used on wagons in conveying fruit will be shown. Incidentally the Exchange stipulates that all fruit for it must be handled by wa- gons having springs. Through this provision much unnecessary jolting and jarring of fruit is prevented. An expert packer is to accompany the car and he will be in charge of all demonstrations. Thomas B.

Mendel “Don't let's talk about it any more, John,” pleaded Fay Brown. “It's just like going around in a circle without reaching any conclusion.” “I like you tremendously. | am even fond of you; but I don’t know and never can love you in the way I must love the man 1 marry. Consider this final, John—there's no more to be said on the subject.” “It's easy enough to say ‘consider this final’ I'll do no such thing; I'll continue asking until you accept from sheer weariness of listening to my proposals. May be you love me and don't know It yourself—such things have happened before.” After a short silence, John sald: “Tell me, i3 there someone else?” “No; how could there be when you monopolize about eight of my even- ings a week?” “Well, I'm glad to know | have a clean field,” said John. “A lot of good it will do you,” laughed Fay. “Let's be serious, dear heart,” said “In a month [ return to Pan- ama to be gone for three years. \Vhen 1 left there to come home for my va- cation two months ago, I hoped and prayed that you would go back with me. Our congenial correspondence, your inspiring letters, our beautiful friendship of four years' duration, made me feel that we were made for each other. Just as if it were written in the book—and now you say nothing but ‘No, no, no.' “Is it the distance that frightens you, girl?” “No; decidedly not,” promptly an- swered Fay. “Love knows no dis- “is It the Distance That Frightens You?” tance—with the right man I would go to the equator.” “Well, why under the sun am [ not the right man?” “l simply don't understand it my- self,” answered the girl. “But [ can't work up any sentiment regarding you, try as I will.” “In this city you nhave neither kith nor kin,” went on John. “There fsn't a soul here who needs you. You are existing in a two-by-four hall bedroom, teaching each day a lot of unappre- clative kids. Oh, Fay, come with me! I could give you so much love and lite. 1 want you. By George! how I want you.” . “Good night, John Bruce; 1 can't stand any more tonight. You make me unhappy—miserable. 1 can never do as you wish; it's absolutely impossi- ble. Don’t try to persuade me. In a weak, lonesome moment I might ac- cept—then maybe you and I would regret it for always. “l have never loved you—I don't love you now, and I never will love you. That's all.” “Good night, good night, little girl; good night and good bye. I am a brute and a beast to worry you. A week from today a steamer leaves for Panama with me on board. I won't see you agaln. It hurts too much. Write often. I need your letters.” “Good bye—and God bless you, Johnny,” eald Fay as he wrung her hand. Bix weeks later Fay received a ca- blegram from Panama stating, “John Bruce's leg amputated; dangerously {ll; wished you to be notified. Signed, Chas. Garthier.” Fay quickly answered: “Inform John Bruce I can’t stay away, because—be- cause 1 lov m. s ismzs IN HAIR DRESSING | 8maller Chapeaux Will Necessitate Radical Changes In the Fashion- ing of Coiffures. The gradual revival of the small hat is causing several modifications in the style of our coiffures. ‘The day of piles upon piles of curls has quite passed, and it is even considered good style to wear the hair almost flat, so long as it i8 not strained back from the face. In fact, there are a few women who have always kept to this fashion of dressing their halr, and there is one big dressmaker, noted for her distinction, who insists upon her models doing the same. thing They part their hair in the middle, take it loosely back from the brow, and gather it into a rather protruding coil on the crown of the head. A tortoise shell pin or two, a sllver or jeweled dagger, or some equally rare but simple ornament is the only deco- ration allowed with this style of coif- fure. In all styles, however, it is now the right thing to avoid ribbons, jeweled bands, tulle and all things which sug- gest the turban. The only people | who will be sorry to see the new fash- ions in this particular detail of the toilet are the hair dressers, who h been making fortunes out of falsc hair, To Clean Kid Gloves. Take a little sweet milk and a plece of white or brown soap. Fold a clean towel three or four times, spread it over your dress and spread out the glove smoothly upon it. Take a large plece of white flannel, dip it in the milk, then rub it upon the soap and rub the glove downward toward the fingers, holding the wrist of it by the left hand. Continue this process until the glove, if white, looks of a dingy yellow, but, if colored, looks dark and entirely spolled. Now let it dry and be soft, smooth, glossy and clean. Take care, however, to omit no part of the glove in rubbing it and see that all the solled parts are thoroughly cleaned. This process applies only to white and colored kid gloves. For black gloves that are soiled, turned i white and otherwise injured, take & teaspoonful of salad oil, drop a few drops of ink into it, and rub it all over the gloves with the tip of a feather; then let them dry in the sun, Ikld boots and slippers can also be ! | cleaned by the first process to look |& “as good as new,” and black kid boots and slippers can be restored to their pristine gloss by the latter method.

White is extremely good in a hat of this kind, bent into a be- coming shape and trimmed simply with a soft scarf, a band or a mill- tary ornament. Russian blouses and Norfolk jack- ets are made to be worn with or with- out an underwaist. With a flannel or medium-weight waist they could be worn far into the autumn, or even be made to serve as jackets.
