For the benefit of farmers and all Department of Agriculture has re- persons to test eggs accurately before they are opened. This chart shows they look when in an open shallow glass dish or saucer. The pictures show gbsolytely. fresh eggs, slightly VERY distinctive and elegant style, and one of the easiest for the ' home dressmaker to follow, is shown in the dress pictured here. It is a style especially well adapted to plump figures. This dress of velvet, trimmed with embroidered bands, is fnnocent of & waist line, and because of this and its other peculiarities it is I altogether out of the ordinary. 3 Imagine the effectiveness of a 3 strong, rich shade of blue, a little darker than sapphire, in an excellent quality of velvet, when contrasted with bands of trimming closely cov- E ered with small steel beads. The com- i bination is very fine, and dark green s or black used instead of blue will 3 prove quite as handsome. There is a straight underskirt of 4 silk, having the lower part of velvet. . ‘The simply cut upper garment hangs b over this in lines of uncompromising plainness. The belt and round neck are defined by the embroidery of beads, the sleeves are long and plain. This gown coiffures, as in other things, this is the day of some uncertainty. The diminutive demi-season hats, many of them merely elongated caps, called for nothing in the way of hairdressing ex- cept a small fringe of curly locks about the brow. Their day is waning and larger hats are replacing them. Just now those on the saflor order (and these are legion), and shapes with curving and rolling brims indicate that more attention must be given to the coiffure, since more of it is in evi- dence when these brimmed hats are ‘worn. A coiffure designed for the opera and without reference to millinery is ghown here. It is made up of v a coil 2ud many sbert 1i Wt cu designed to show the art of the har dresser, which must make the cpera coiffure take the place of the art of the milliner, since hats ara forh The hair is waved about the faer and neck for this coiffure, and parted at one side. The waves lie close to the head and are evenly and neatly The remainder of the hair is brought up to the crown and arranged in a cofl which forms a foundation for the short, soft curls that distinguish the opera coiffure.

Ma just put her hand up to her face, so—a way she has —and smiled. She said nothing. That usually means considerable anxiety for the family. It certainly did this time. Pa went first, a week or two ahead, then ma was to go to finish settling, and Nettie and I—Nettie is twenty-five and I am only nineteen—were to fol- low two weeks later. The main thing ‘was to get ma off. Everything went beautifully as far | a8 we were concerned. Nettie left the | office—Nettie works; she's very clev- er; I just help ma keep house—well, as I said, Nettie left the office for a ! whole morning to get ma a through ! ticket and check her baggage, and we | both saw her aboard the express for Truly, we nearly missed the train | even then, because ma had packed her | best bonnet.

Next day Nettie went to the office as usual, and 1 was busy sorting out | the papers in my desk when I saw a telegraph boy mount our steps and Maybe I didn’t hurry 1 just snatched the telegram from that boy and tore it open. This is what I read: that rich materials look best when ! simply made up, for it is unusual and | impressive. But the 1_odel is not suit- ed to commonplace materials.

But in this gown a silk cord partly defines the waist line, which it encircles at the belt, falling below it at the front and fastening in a knot at one side like a Greek girdle. The underskirt is of plain net over a foundation of satin in the same color. Although' there is no flare in the skirt or upper garment, they are both roomy. It is the lack of definition of the figure that adapts the velvet model to the stout figure. But in the dress made of net the plaiting of the ma- terial and the addition of the girdle produce a gown which is ideal for a slender figure. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. hairdresser or those who deal in hair. They are very light and easily ad- justed and they stay curled. Their use makes the dressing of this coiffure an easy matter when compared to dressing a coiffure in which strands of the natural hair must be curled. Narrow bands of small pearl beads are used as a finish, wound twice about the head, in the style of the classic Greek hairdress. Bands of this kind, sometimes strands of rhine- stones or narrow bands of plain velvet ribbon, look better than any other kind of ornament in their elaborately curled cofffures. The pinnedin curls come in short tenethe and are eosilv arranged into pu’fs or fastered in so that only very ehort curls, or rather ringlets, peep nut “rom the curls or puffs into which the back hair is arranged JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

Then light came, and with it revelation. “Pat, she has stopped off at Phila- delphia,” declared Nettie solemnly. I forgot to tell you that ma's father, Grandpa Klein, lives in Philadelphia, and her brother and youngest sister. ‘Well, when we got ma placed in Philadelphia, mentally, we felt better. However. Nettie telegraphed back to | ba to ease his mind: Ma left Tuesday. Probably stopped | Philadelphia, Where s ma? NETTIE. ‘That last sentence she just put in for sarcasm, but at the end of a week it had come to be so well known at the telegraph office near our home, that the operator thought that it was some sort of signal or code phrase. She used to try different ways of spell- | Ing it to see if it mattered. Once she had it, “Where is maw?” Another time, “Where's ma?” Sometimes she put an ‘exclamation point after it; sometim¢ question mark. Once she Just had, “W’'s M?” but we knew what it meant. Our telegram became such a daily affair that it was like the newspaper or the milk. Every night we had a telegram for dinner.. In the meantime, where was ma? Of course, we found out afterward. Indeed, while we were fussing in New York, ma was taking her ease and & lovely vacation in Philadelphia. On the arrival of the New York- Chicago train at Philadelphia, no one ‘was visible to meet her. So ma went to the ticket office, got her ticket vall- dated, or extended, or whatever it is that postpones the trip from one train to another, and then found that she had forgotten my uncle’s new address. Ma thought a few minutes, and then went to the telegraph office, and there it she didn't trace Nettie's telegram! She found the address. Just as ma started up the street, she ‘was met by a colored maid, who, recog- nizing her from a picture that she—the maid—had dusted many times on the mantel in aunt’s sitting room, stopped and asked her if she was Mrs. Gilpat- rick. Naturally ma said yes. She soon came to the house, and was welcomed with open arms. It seems the telegram had not reached them, through some delay or other, so they did not know about meeting the train. The family would not hear of ma’s leaving that night, and they coaxed and cajoled her day by day until she had stayed a week. All this time we had no word from her, and Nettie and I were getting frighttully worried. Finally, at the end of the week—we had telegraphed to the City of Friends twice—we received a dispatch saying: elphia. Am lea R Am e Nettie and I sighed relievedly. We thought we had ma located. We sent worg to pa that same morning might be in Wilmington, sie might be in Washington, or she might not have left Philadelphia. So we decided to awalt developments. And indeed we did. We waited another week. In the meantime, ma had started from my uncle’s home with the best intentions in the world. She was go- ing to Chicago. However, when she got to Wilming- ton the temptation was too great. So off went ma to see Bud, my brother. She went for an hour, and stayed two days. Poor pa! Well, ma thought she wouldn't wor 7y us with any more telegrams—that’s what she said—so she decided to send no word from Wilmington, but to go straight through to Chicago, which was now her one and only thought—until she got to Washington. But why con- tinue? Exactly two weeks from the time ma waved a fond farewell to us at thé Jersey City terminal she landed in Chicago. The trip usually takes 28 hours, except by the limited, when it takes 18. Pa, by this time, had business which took him to Duluth. He was staying at a hotel not far from the house which we had leased, waiting for ma to come and finish settling. When it became a necessity for him to go to Duiuth for a day or two, pa racked his brains considering how he should de- scribe ma to the hotel people well enough to have them put her in his room and look out for her until he got back. Finally he thought of her picture, which he always carried in his watch, and he gave it to the clerk. “This is my wife,” pa said. “Now, if she arrives before I get back, don't let her go away again. Put her in my | Then Nettie sent a telegram to pa in | room, give her the best of everything, ‘Yut don’t let her go away.” This was on Friday.

A week later, when Nettie and I started to join them, I sent a telegram.

Congratulations—and who is the girl?” Ned reddened, but his eyes were bold. “Della Adams,” he said carelessly. Barry whitened and all the light died out of his face. “Della Adams?” be repeated in a curious tone. “You are to be congratulated indeed, Ned!” : “Thanks Barry.

Barry asked himself this question over and over as he made his way toward the ° village hotel. | & Surely Ned had known that Barry}g‘ Miles, the young salesman for a whole- | & sale grocery firm in a nelghborlng\g city, was in love with Della Adlms.)é and Della could have told Ned, if she | 4 cared to listen to something especially | § interesting when Barry paid his next & visit to Grasston. Meanwhile, Ned King had hurried toward the Adams house and told Della of the best man arrangement. “Ned! You asked him, Barry, to be your best man?” she faltered. 4 “Why not? He was willing. Said I was a luck * ~har to get you—and I guess I am,’ ently. Della smilec s.cangely. “I'm going to send you home now, Ned. If we are to be married next Wednesday I have a thousand things to do.” Della watched nim striding down the village street, his stocky figure covering the distance in absurdly long steps. Why, she asked herself, had she engaged herself to Ned King when she loved another man? Because the death of her uncle had left her singularly alone in the world and she had learned that Barry Miles was engaged to a Drayton girl. Della put on her jersey and went out into October sunset. The way to the river led along a narrow path ankle deep in autumn leaves. She sat down beneath a bending willow. i Two men were sitting on a great flat stone. One of them was young, and the dark head was buried in his hands. : Heo_was listening to_the words.of the StETH-TECER- rectOY OF the™ church. - “I'm sorry, Barry,” Mr. Fraser was saying in his deep voice. “I've known Della all her life, and it she said she would wait for you—that she would listen to your story—there must be some mistake—some misunderstand- ing. Have you an enemy?” “Not that I am aware of” said Barry drearily. “Perhaps she didn't care for me. I hope you'll forgive my | whining about it, but I wanted to talk to some one, and what you've said to me has done a lot of good.” The two men shook hands. | Barry laughed uncertainly. “I was. 80 sure,” he said, “that I even brought the marriage license down with me. EXOLDPOOPPLITSEL LR PP S PPPDd PDBD S 5d Do ! It was sort of a comfort to have it, you know. The firm has given me a raise in salary and extended my territory to the northwest. And I thought I could persuade her to marry me at once.” He took a folded paper out of his pocket and tore it across. But before he could complete its destruction Della’s slender form stood before him and her hands grasped the marriage license. “Della!” he gasped, falling back & step. 1 The girl turned a blushing face to the minister. “Mr. Fraser,” she pleaded, “please | tell him it is all a mistake—" Ten minutes later Ned King came ' whistling down the path in search of his flancee. By the river's brick, un- | der the bending willows, he found her, standing with her hand in Barry's, while Mr. Fraser pronounced a bless- | ing on their marriage. For a moment Ned watched Lhem.'
