nobody has ever suggested the fact
that they might possess character as
well. II has always been suficient II
their faces made good pictures for the

cover the fattered holes in the frayed-

But an hefress with character Is .
distinct novelty from the point Of
view OF the public on both sides OF
the water.
Miss May Goelt has a face--not =
beautiful one-but a sweet one. with
sunny eyes. sunny hair. a pretty femi-
nine mouth and a strong chin. Il is a
face worth putting on canvas or paper.

facts several years ago. when. as a
young school girl she first appeared
as bridesmaid at Consuelo Vanderbiit's
wedding. In addition. however. she

rakes Of two continents. and barons

The great increase In the use OF
incubaErs is matter worthy Of spe.
cial note. Poultrymen generally arc
realizing the advantage Of using incu-
bators found that thousands OF fan.
ciers have adopted the incubator as a
more satisfactory hatcher than the
hen. They are made in different sizes
and capacities to fill the needs OF
both the large and the small breed
er. An immense amount OF time and
thought has been devoted to incu-
bator construction and wonderful
strides toward perfection have been
made during the past few years. Man
ufacturers have such confidence in
their machines that they are willing
and anxious to sell them on trial and
risk the machine and the chances OF
sale in the hands OF amateurs who
never before saw an Incubator. The
result is that thousands OF them arc
being sold and the business this sea-
son bids fair to figure up to an al
most Incredible amount The old
prejudice against incubators Is fast
disappearing as a result OF improved
machines and the unqualified sue
