is little lady, dainty as spring
crocus. who WAS member Of the in

part of oificialdom. On one OF her
last reception days she was chatting
with two cabinet women, when the
servant announced the arrival of a

occasion in mastery fashion. "My
dear Mrs. Blank" she said gushlngly,
clasping the hostess hand warmly. 81

hostess had recovered frolf her sur
prise the climber has passed on. well

advances. Representatives of the large
storage plants in Chicago have been about
the country for several weeks buying up
storage eggs. purchased during the sum-
mer at a low price, and paying as high as
