Price Of Eggs Nay Reach
Fifty Cents In Short Time

There IS a gloomy prospect in the egg
market for the consumer. II predic-
tons OF local dealers are realized, the
consumer will be fortunate if he can
buy eggs this winter as cheap as As
cents a dozen. The price may 20 to 50
cents.
Every year, about this time. eggs
begin TO advance. Invariably, they
keep it up. experiencing, practically, no
setbacks until the maximum winter
price has been reached. This year the
advance has commenced with eggs at
higher price to begin with than for a
number OF years. It is generally ad-
mitted that the wholesale price will
not be under 90 cents. If this is the
case, the consumer viii have to pay
all the way from IS to 50 cents.

year. The present price Of q cents

TEACHING CHILDREN
THE ART OF SEWING

The old saying of win the child
and you have the mother was proven
true by the clever idea Of a frail, little
woman who lived in small Montana
town. She started a cutting and sew
ing class for small children.
At first the kiddits were very timid
and rather uninterested. but when the
doll charts and tiny garments to fit
them appeared they were a happy lot
Of youngsters. Very soon the news
spread from one mother to another, and
the little woman had a large and en-
thdsiastic class. 1t was called the aft
ernoon school. and in time they gradu-
ated from dolls clothes and bFanched
out along simple lines Of practical sew
ing, They made flannel pettic0ats for
themselves. hemstitched sheer white
lawn ties for grandmother, made up
dainty aprons to take home to mother
ard so on indefinitely.
The mothers paid literally ffor this
idea, for they realized that the frail
little woman who startea the school
had not only trained their little fingers
to sew, but had started them well on
the road to Industrious young woman

SIMPLE AND STYLISH
LOUNGING WRAPPER

Remarkably successful has been a
very pretty negligee, simply made yet
so charming in material and line that
it makes a special appeal to ones love
of daintiness in longing robe. The
crepe shows a crinkled white stripe
and sprinkled on this background are
moss rose buds in a delightful shade
of pink and some green thrown in.
One of the unique points is that 1t has
not a scrap of lace trimming, IN fact
no trimming at all save for bands Of
pink satin ribbon that face the fronts.
The back is empire. not in an ex-
aggerated way, but lifted just enough
TO give a graceful slope from under
arm to hip. Besides the color named
one may have the model in lavender
and blue, the first the more attractive
Of the two With careful handling
there is no reason why this wrapper
should not wash well.
