hat has high crown and the bow has
aerial pretentions. Such bows were
never seen before on land or sea. and
yet in spite of their oddity they are
very pretty and strangely becoming.
They are usually placed at the back Of

loops which nestle prettlly against the
crown OF the hat. But the ends! All.

The woman who comes toward you
wearing one of these bows makes you
think of the Wright brothers, of Att

other aspiring daredevils of the air.
& When the hat Is of furry pale beige

you remember It long after It has

the bow is OF mauve or yellow It is

1t often is. you wonder feebly what the

that hats were to be small, and they

logical laboratory, that oysters may
easily be polluted by being brought
into contact with infective material,
aud that IL any attempt is made TO
preserve the shelltish, either by plac-
ing them directly on the ice or in
compartment of the ice box, the power
to act as a disscminator of disease is
retained, If not actually increased.
AS the experiments of DIR. Field have
also shown that, by the use of plenty
OF fresh sea water the typhoid germs
may be absolutely destroyed in from
six to eight days, he believes that IL is
safe to conclude that the growers are
right when they Affirm that the oyster,
In it's natural state, Is one of the purest
food substances that may be taken
from the sea. In other words IL It
was true that the oysters that come to
market were brought directly from
their own clean, deep-water beds Il is
extremely doubtful il there would ever
be the slightest danger OF infection
The conditions that have caused so
much trouble in the past, however
have been entirely due to the fact that
after having been brought from deep
water. they have usually been sub
tected TO a process, of 'plumping," or
"fattening"
When oysters are to undergo this
treatment in preparation for their ap-
pearance in market, they are taken to
the mouth of some stream, or creek
where the water is braclxish, and there
they are deposited in small houses that
are so constructed that the bivalves
will be covered with water when the
tide rises, but will become nearly dry
again when the tide is low. AS the
specific gravity of this water Is much
less than that which covered the oys-
ters I'm their original beds, the effect is
to "fatten." or plump" them.
The dealers claim that this increase
in weight and bulk also Improves the
| flavor of the oyster, In spite OF the
fact that there is a considerable loss
of nutritlvo matter, but none of these
questions would be worthy OF great
concern on the part Of the consumer

'fattening" were always careful 10

foundation. for It Is impossible to make
any such classification. The name OF
an oyster merely indicates the loca-
tlon from which IL was taken, and 1t
has absolutely nothing TO do with it's
size or other peculiarities. In all cases.
however, oysters are assorted; the
smaller varieties are set aside to be
eaten raw, or on the half-shell; the
"culls." or medium-slzed oysters, are
intended for ordinary culinary pur-
poses, while the large or box" oys-

The "Cherrystone" and Lynn
Haven Bay" both popular Southern
oysters, come from little arms of the
Chesapeake, and they owe their pecu-
liar flavor to the composition of the
fresh water that flows down to them
from the pine woods In fact, these
are almost the only oysters from the
South that can even remotely compare
in flavor with those that are raised
further north-the Cape Gods" the
"Buzzard Bays and the "Cotuits.' all
from Massachusetts, or the North
ports" the cold Spring Harbors," the
"Greenports," the "Glenwoods,' or
| any Of the many other fine varieties
| that are natives of Long Island. The
so-called "Mill Ponds" may come from
any section of the oyster-raising coun-
try. for, in this instance, the name does
not indicate the particular locality in
which the bivalves were bred, except
that ii is supposed to imply that they
have been cultivated In some mill
pond. or saltwater pond. in which the
tides ebb and fiow a.
While IL may be true, as the oyster
growers contend, thet the danger of in
lection by diseases from eating oysters
has been grossly exaggerated, there
can be no shadow of doubt but that the
deadly typhoid bacilli may be intro
duced into the human system in this
manner. on several occasions cases
OF both typhoid fever and ptomaine
poisoning have been traced directly to
the oyster, and II any question re-
mained as to the possibility of such

the report made by DR.. Cyrus w.
