HANS PAULSEN EGEDE.

When DR.. Cook returned toCopen-
hagen from his discovery of the north
pole, he made the trip in the good
ship Egede. 1t is worthy of note that
this vessel was named after Hans
Paulsen Egede, one of the pioneers in
Greenland exploration, who was born
in Norway 223 years ago, and died in
Copenhagen in 1853.
Early in the twelfth century col
ony Of NorWegians and Icelanders
went to Greenland to open up COM
mercial relations and establish homes.
They were Christians, but did nothing
toward teaching the Eskimos. For over
200 years they were fairly successful
in selling products between Green
land and Norway Then a change came.
The Eskimos gave them serious
trouble, the scourge of the 'black
death" killed many, and to crown their
misfortunes vast seas of polar ice
swept about the east coast, so that this
section was inaccessible No ships
could reach the colony, and they were
helpless.
During a period of 200 years efforts
were occasionally made to rescue
those who might have survived the
original colonists, but there had been
no success, and finally this band of pi-
oneers and their descendants had be-
come merely parts of history.
Hans Egede was the pastor Of the
village church at Vaagen, Norway, and
he became deeply interested in the
constantly repeated story of the colo
nists of Greenland He began to
dream of a mission among the Eski-
mos, and the finding of traces of the
! unfortunate settlers.
Realizing that there must be a ma
terial object to attract and bind fol-
| lowers in such an enterprise, he or
ganized the plan for trading COM
pany, members of which company
should go with him.

when we inquired what her sudden
temperance meant Il wouldn't be
a nurse for anything"
She is now doing what her people
wanted her to do in the first place anc
she is doing it without any vain re-
grets or sad repinings or foolish illu-
sions about what might have been.
Don't you imagine her people finG
those five days paid?
l met a girl yesterday who is on hel
way back from Boston to California.
She went to Boston two weeks age
to spend the winter studying music al
the New England Conservatory.
A week ago she wrote home-this is
quoted so don't blame me-"Career be
BANKED, I'm coming home"
But the trip paid just the same
she said when she was telling me about
it all. 81 always wanted to go east
and study music, and if I hadn't gone
I'd have probably always felt dissat-
isfied. But now I've been and 1 know
I'm better off at home"
The only way to destroy a foolish
illusion is to make it a reality.
If you can possibly and safely give
your child an opportunity to try out
his own ideas, for his future, insult
able and foolish though they may seem
to you, I should advise you for the sake
of everyone's future peace of mind
to do it.
But what if the attempt fails to
convince him?'' l hear some anxious
parent asking. What if after all he
likes it and still persists?'
Well, I fancy that just means you
needed to learn a lesson instead of
your child. -

One of the most important parts Of
our correspondence is, fear, the most
neglected, | refer to the written re-
ply. 1t is so easy to procrastinate, for
the fact that so little time is really re-
quired to write a brief answer is up
permost in our thoughts, and we put
our answers to notes or gifts upon
mental shelf so to speak, where they
rest in undisturbed peace. In the
meantime can not you picture the in
convenience and trouble caused by our
forgetting? For, believe me, it is one
of the easiest things in our everyday
lives to forget to write. The sender
of a gift is kept in a state of embar-
raised ignorance. The kind little note
in time of trouble or joy is overlooked,
and when time does lag, it is generally
too late to acknowledge letters of
friends or ac5Maintances.
l must make a very strong plea for
replying to gifts soon after receiving
them There is a custom much in
vogue which countenances a brides
remaining silent about presents until
after her return from the wedding trip.
I cannot see the kindness of this idea.
I remember how much trouble result
ed to me from the observance of this
peculiar thing. 1 sent a piece of jew
elry to a friend for her wedding gift
1t was reasonably expensive, and was
sent from the store in which I pur-
chased it.
I was not able to attend the we'd
ding and heard nothing from the

NEW YORK, Nov 17-Affairs of
fashion have settled down pretty we'll
to what they will be in the future, al
lowing for the constant changes that
are always taking place. The coun-
tiers and shelves of the shops are COW
cred with all sorts of the most beau
tiful fabrics suitable for every kind of
occasion. There is one great requisite
to all the materials, and that is sup
pleness.
To one not entirely familiar with
the different grades of materials it is
sufficient to their eye to see that the
crepe iweaves are pronounced, that
corded effects are popular and the
diagonals are decidedly prominent in
the fabrics offered for the winter
gowns. Under the head of crepes,
cords and diagonals come many
varieties: Crepe meteors, peau de
crepe, crepe de chine, crepe gaufre

Culling the Poultry Flock

selecting layers to pick those that
have good length in body. But this
rule is not absolutely dependable
Don't get the idea that you can al
ways select a layer by taking a hen
extremely long in body for the con-
nection between the egg producing
ability of the hen and her length of
body is simply this: If the short and
blocky hen and the lengthy hen are
both bred alike the long hen has GER
tainly the greater capacity for the car
rying of egg germs.
Some breeders select by the appear
ance of the comb, the brightest and
reddest comb indicating a good layer,
but this rule is not always safe to go
by. While most laying hens have
very bright combs it is not safe, by
any means, to say that every fiery
comb is on laying hen.
Aim to secure by your culling for
winter a flock that are all healthy and
vigorous, even in size and shape, and
that are layers. Instead of picking
out the worst one and leaving the
best, it is better to begin by selecting
that one that comes nearest to reach
ing your ideal and then select the re-
mainder by her.
AS a summary then, we might 81.
if you select healthy, vigorous alert
hens that mature or mott early, with
good, lengthy backs, bright combs, and
eyes and keep nothing over three
years of age DIETER two) your flock
will be in good shape to place in
winter quarters and if fed correctly
will do a good winters work. Re
member the great drawback to up
building of a splendid flock is in not
doing enough of the most vigorous
culling.
Of course, if you are breeding a
strain to standard requirements there
are many other points besides the
ones mentioned to consider, but as Il
rule the average farmer or farmers
wife, selects the flock for the winter,
more for the egg production than any
other one thing.

several other waists more or less
dressy, and thus had gown she could
wear at different times.
A pretty jabot to wear with a black
broadcloth suit or one of bright color
was of frilled white maline over black,
with little bit of embroidery in white
and edged with tiny knots Of black
silk. Black Chantilly and Spanish lace
are much used for jabots.
Many of the new waists for separate
wear are of MORE, and some of the
most stylish costumes are of MORE
trimmed with braids and jet pieces.
Japanese embroidery is much ia
vored for waists.

When will mothers and fathers learn
that the let-him -try-it cure is usually
the safest remedy for the child who
wants to take up some business or
profession that his wiser parents feel
he is unsuited for?
know a girl who wanted to be a
nurse. Her people felt that she was
not at all the right temperament for
that difficult profession. They argued
and persuaded and commanded until
finally she gave it up and became a
school marin, a profession for which
she was well fitted and in which she
had a good measure of Gaccess.
But despite her success she still
clings firmly to the idea that she has
missed her calling. When she is down
hearted about anything she always
says to her father and mother:
Il shall never be as happy as
might have been if you had let me do
what l wanted to-"
She will undoubtedly go to her grave
with the firm conviction Of having
made a great mistake.
I also know another girl equally I'M
suited for the nurses profession and
equally anxious to try it,
Her parents protested for a while
and then, seeing that she was still set
upon it, let her try it.
After a great tow-wow OF prepara-
ton and a great ceremony of goodbye
functions, the girl went off to a hospi-
tai in a big city hundred miles from
her home.
She LASTED" just five days.
1T wasn't a bit the way I thought
it would be-" she confessed frankly
