/ ago lie was Peter Leavitt Grant. n
| Scotchman. formerly OF Granttown.
Scotland. but now member of the
New York brokerage firm of Leavitt
| 4 Grant.
He was older than Mr.. Mumford and
broader in his views. They met at
the house OF mutual friends-the rich
broker and the beautiful young au'
thoress. He was immensely taken
with her literary work and never
wearied of praising 1t to his friends
so different from Mr.. Mumford, whom
it bored quite thoroughly.
Mr.. Grant frankly told his friends
he believed there were plenty of clever
and at the same time be good wives
and mothers. He held that there
could be no incompatibility between
the art of woman and the helpful
comeraderie of the home.
Finally the time came when he felt
that he coulG say this same thing to
Mrs. Mumford. He did. His answer
was a whispered Yes" just as the
young college man. Mumford. had re.
! ceived it 12 years before. But this
time 1t was more qualified one.
With it went the understanding
that the bride.to. .be-for.t r.the.second-time
could write and paint and study just
as much as she pleased.
THAT is distinctly understood re-
piled the gallant Mr.. Grant, and a few
days ago the engagement was an.
nounced.
My daughter will keep on with lit.
srary work." explained Mrs. Watts,
the mother. Just as she always has
why a woman cannot be n good wife
and mother and at the same time give
some time to her talents.
Mr.. Grant understands this per.
fectly and is just as interested in my
daughters success as we are. He is
very proud of what she has done al
ready and looks forward to even bet
ter things in the future They have
gone on a honeymoon in the country
and in the autumn they will sail for
Europe to visit Mr.. Grants family in
Scotland
AS for Mr.. Mumford. he was seen
Mt his office and took the news of his
former wife's engagement rather test

How is the egg business coming

orr twn n, I had o1wnvG
supposed I knew about everything

lutionize the egg business. This fell
low has a secret preparation that pre-
serves eggs for as long as seven years.
It's something wonderful. Best of all,
this stuff is cheap, costs only eight
cents u gallon. and a gallon is enough
to preserve nearly a million eggs.
You need only one drop of the stuff
and great care must be observed not
to use more than one, as two drops
cause the stomach to rebel and three
cause serious illness and sometimes
death. However, we must all take
chances in this world. This French
man has invented an instrument with
which the egg is punctured, the pre-
servative injected and the hole sealed.
