Seattle OYash.) Spe Chicago Tribune.
When Lieut. Whipple while ut dinner
at the Waldorf Astoria, bit into "A pearl
of wonderful size concealed in a big Oys-

That pearl has recently betrayed Iri= h
tendencies which are unaccOuntable.
When first brought TO public view II was
of a pale pink hue. The color was sup
posed to be the result Of the baking pro-
cess to which it had been exposed. But
since then 1t has gradually turned green,
until now it looks not unlike a brilliant
green pea.
