Dear Madam I have been Invited to go to
the theatre vvlili a young man. The seats ore in

It would be quite proper for you to wear
an evening frock to the theatre if the young
man will appear in evening dress, but If ho
Intends wearing a business suit It would be
better for you to put on a one-piece after
noon gown or a dressy blouse and to wear
a hat.

Darkening Eyebrows
To Sarah A lied vaseline or petrolatum
applied to the brows and lashett regularly
very night will In course of time darken
and thicken them. Some people respond to
treatment in lite course of six months or
so, while others may use It a year with
very little change. This la the only safe
aid of which I know, however. Cara must
be taken to prevent any of the grease from
going Into the eyas.

of Hint door before. I left, and I did not

"That's all right, then." Callahan said,
cheerfully, and I followed hint meekly back
up the stairs I hud descended In search of

t did not wish to nnnear miserly, nnd vet

In myipursc. A dime vns too small, and
there was nothing larger save a silver half

Ite took it key from the mntiv on n

"There you lire," ho said, stepping back

"Is there anything else you need, ma'nm?"
"Nothing at all. thank ,vou, Mr. Callahan

"Clooil day. ma'am," and he vanished

THE Tni.KPIIOXR IHXOS
I shivered as 1 remembered the gamut
of emotions 1 had run since my husband
walked out of tho door fucing me.
I had dined with Jack, the cousin who
was the only brother I had over known.
Keeling that I had wronged his brotherly
kindness by not delaying my murrlugu
until he had com back from tho wilder
ness, I had delayed telling him of my mnr
rlage until our reunion dinner tliouhl bo
over.
llecausii of this delay I had found out
that .Tack hud loved me for years. As
If this astonishing fact were not enough
to upset me, 1 hud lost my wedding and
engagement rings which I had foullhlilv
taken off befote tho dinner, Hint Jack might
not guess of my marriage until I was ready
to tell him
That 1 had speedily found them again
did Hot lessen the shock I had received
when I thought they wero lost. My nerves
were still quivering ftom the fright I had
had.
I shrank from the ordeal that was still bo
fore me. When ho left me, Jack had told
me that as soon as I had composed myself
I must telcphono Dicky nnd Join him at
the Underwoods' homo He also said that
at the first opportunity I must tell Dicky
everything that had passed. 1 knew bis
edvlco was sound, but every quivering nerve
In my body protested ngaliiRt doing any
thing save hiding in my darkened bed
room. Tho jangle of the telephone bell struck
my nerves ns a whip might have done
Who could be calling me? I went to tho
telephone and shuddered ns Harry Under

Columbia University Experiment, De
signed to Elimirmto Classics,

An attempt to change tho entire Ameri

education, to remove tho "dead wood and
lumber of tiudltlon" and adapt it lu mod
el n needs, will ho mado lu tho full of
this er, when n. new "modern school"
will be opened In connection with the
Teachers' Collego In Columbia University.
Tho general education board, on out
growth uf tha nockefeller Foundation, will
lliiauce the new educational institution,
which is to bo moro of an experimental in
stitution than a permanent one,
Tho curriculum will include no study of
formal grammar, no Involved mathematics,
no Iatln, flreek or other dead language,
no ancient history exctpt as it bears on
modern problems nothing, in fait. for
which no better reason than liatlltluu ran
bo assigned. As few books us possible
will be used: Iho bupportcrs of tha move
ment believo that "If children ore to bo
taught and trained with an oio to the
realities of Ufa and existence, tho accessible
world is tha laboratory to be used for that
purpose."
friuperinienuent oi i-uuuo avnuup, t.
John l. Qarber, said the idea was not a
new one.
"It Is In line with tho general modern
izing ot tho curriLUium, which has been lu
nrocesa for several years past," he said.
i"Jt was partly the plan of Heibert Spencer
lo modernize meinous ot euucaiion aim me
general trend toward vocational training
would go to demonstrate u general swing
toward this method.
"The pew school Is to be an experimental
one, as I understand it. X cannot say just
what the results will be. We must le
mmber, though, that there Is- a cultural
side to education, and to swing entirely
away from tho classics would ba overstep
ping the mark, I am afraid. There Is a
something lacking n that man who ia only
trained with an eye to the realities Of
life."

These tire all changing, teiiiuulttiy events

HAVH you ever noticed bow very few
women have prettv elbows? If you
have, von will have to admit that many an

pores of the tkln Will

i.iiciii:.ia limn sm.tii pot Hon of
wntnipd olive or almond oil Into the palm
of one hand and tnaFsnge tho elbow. When
the oil has been absorbed apply more.
Hind a greased pad over lach elbow nt

tnko n small wnd ot absorbent cotton, wot
It with oil, placo-lt above tho elbow and
bandngo It on with strips of muslin or
nntlseptio gauze. The strip should bo nt
least two Inches wldo and should not bo
tight enough to Inlerfero with circulation.
Cocoa bolter Is nlso a flesh-builder, and
can bo used Instead of the almond or olive

HENS LAYING BETTER,, "
BUT EGGS STAY "UP"
Farmers' Institute nt Iladdon-
licld Rejoices Without a
Blush nt Prosperity
Any one who lias an Idea that eggs are
cheaper iu tho rural communities heie
uliouls than they are In tho city should
have attended the annual Farmers' lustl
tuto held at Haddonfleld. N. J., yestetday
afternoon and last night.
Fanners stood up at the Institute and
confessed without blushing that they usl.ed
and got llfty-four, nfty-llvo and even as
much lis bevcnly-lwo cents a dozen for
their hen fruit. They admit that now tho
hens aro laying better than nt this time one
year ago, when tho relative pi Ices of eggs
weio loss. Ono fanner down beyond llcr-
llu saa his COO hens ate laying "eltgant."
That samo fanner Is gelling fifty-four
cents a dozen for bis eggs, hauling them
only to Camden, sixteen miles.
"1'ilvato lesldtnts and dealers nllko nro
willing to pay that pi Ice," ho said. "My
eggs uto of tho llarred Plymouth Bock
.species, of n daik shell and consequently
do not hi Ing iih high n price as clear,
white-shelled eggs. A neighbor, who has a
laiKO Hoik of hens of breeds that ptoduco
vvhltcshelled eggs. Is getting moio than I
am. I'lvury ono in my neighborhood Is get
ting these high prices, and every one has
production equal to that of last year, lit
sides, poultiy is bringing high prices, and
the old hens which are beginning to lay be
hind aio quickly sold off at good prices.
"W'o havo no tiouble getting our pi Ices
because tho dealers are getting theiis and
aio willing to pa v. of course, it must bo
understood that the cost of feeding chick
ens has lisen considerably and, llko my
nelKhboiH. I am feeding especially for eggs
liesides com thero aro wheat, peas and
oilier foods that aro being given to the hens,
but theso nil blip to tnerenso tho egg pro
duction, and the prico of eggs far exceeds
tho increased prlco of tho feeds."
Another fanner who haH a large acreage
and seveiaf hundreds of hens Just out.sldo
of Hnddonlleld said: "My hens ure laving
as well as a year ago and I am not feeding
any heavier than 1 did then. Of course,
like every one else, I am getting tho benefit
of tho high prices. Only a week ago a
number of pullets began laying, and theso
have luoi.iit a heavy Increase In my dally
gathering of eggs. Hut there Is a ready
mnikct lrrr every one."
Virtually every farmer at the Institute
had thu same answer.
"Tho prices aie up. Why, wo do not know.
Hut,' assuredly, it Is not because eggs
fresh-luld, 1 mean aro any scarcer than
they wero last )ear," was the consensus
of opinion. Soinu few admitted their lieu
yards wero not producing, lu number of
eggs, thu amount ot previous ' years, but
uoiio would tay that thu decrease was ab
normal, all decreases, If any, being due en
tirely to thu winter, which Is an annual
catuo of cut In production.
Another feature, of the egg production
this winter lu Cumden County Is the fact
that residents who keep only a dozen or
two hens lir their backyards ore able to
sell eggs, whera last jear none was to be
had. Fifty to sixty cents per dozen Is the
average prlco to neighbors who uro leHs
fortunate lu not having hens of their own
l.ust winter, when prices were considerably
lower, these suburbanites had not even
hultlclent eggs for their own uses. This year
thero aro "frehh eggs for sale" hlgns every
where, banging on porch railings und other
conspicuous places.
And with it all thesa suburbanites say
they are using the usual number for their
own households und are selling only the
excess. One such resident, who has been
feeding skimmed milk to bis bens, in addi
tion to the usual grain ration, has been
selling steadily, while last year he was
bteadily turning away would be purchasers.
