ada, and he is coming to visit some
friends in Newton here. 1t seems
that Lady Thurston has written to
aunty. They were school girls to-
gether. They made some sentimental
arrangements when they were young
for connecting the two families. In
plain words, ! think that one of the
motives OF Mr. Thurston in visiting
Newton is to see If poor little me is
good enough to become the niece Of
a high and mighty member of parlia-
ment."
In other words" said Dick, eif you

if he does, you viii tell him
what?"
How can you ask-how dare you
ask!7 cried Ethel Indignantly. you

Then what are you worrying
about?" challenged Dick.

kinds of scolding and unpleasantness.
They viii learn that we are attached
to one another. Then there will be
a storm"
There is no doubt" observed Dick
deliberately, "that when this Canadian
nabob sees you he is lost. Now let
me make a suggestion. My sister
Eve is trying to write some stories.
1t is wonderful how that demure little
miss can think up all the ingenious
plots she does. You go to her. Ethel,
and see If she cannot devise some
way to help you out of this sad mud
die"
The two girls set their wits at
work. They had little to proceed on be-
side the fact that Mr.. Thurston was
very prim, circumspect young man.
Ethel had painted the young Cana
dian as wearing a monocle, having
cultured drawl to his voice. and very,
very English in an unbearable way.
She was a little surprised the first
evening she met Mr. Thurston at a
lawn party Certainly ne was re-
served and rather formal in his ways.
but there was nothing to indicate
loneliness nor ostentation. The eve
ming visitor, however, Dick Wade,
airly gasped as his fair inamorata
ppeared upon the scene.
She was made up as to facial adorn-
ment in way that was truly shock
ng. Her usually neat and tasty at
ire was lacking. An ill-fitting gown,
100 short by several inches. hung
loosely upon her and her hair was
dressed in the most outIandish fash
ion.
Her friends stared in wonderment
at her boisterous greeting Of the
guest OF the occasion. Ethel used
faulty grammar. It was quite evident
that Mr. Percival Thurston was not
only very much disappointed but
positively shocked

BEARING oF PoTAro EMBARGO

HEARING OF POTATO EMBARGO.
Washington, D. G., Dec. 1S.-Secre-
tary Houston conducted a hearing at
the Offices OF the department Of agri-
culture today on the subject Of the
proposed embargo on all foreign po-
tatoes commencing January l next.
Such an embargo is in effect at pres
ent against the British Isles, Germany.
Austria Hungary, Newfoundland and
the islands of Pierre and Miquelon. It
is now proposed to extend the embar-
go to all other foreign countries, the
proposal being based on the BELIEF
that a general quarantine is neces.
sary in order to prevent the introduce
ton into the United States Of the pow
derry scab and other diseases which
would seriously affect the potato pro-
duction of the United States.
A wide variety Of opinions on the
quarantine were expressed by the rep.
resentative American potato growers,
potato importers and bureau inspec-
tors who attended the hearing. "A
suggestion also was offered that the
danger would be greatly lessoned IL
American growers and shippers were
prohibited from using secondhand
bags which had previously contained
shipments OF potatoes from abroad.
The powdery scab, which is the chief
disease threatening this country, Is
said to be scattered easily through the
use Of secondhand bags and quickly
reaches all sections Of the country.
One Of the most Interesting points
brought out at the hearing was the
fact that should al foreign potatoes
be prohibited, including those OF
Canada, the price Of American pota-
toes would probably increase fully
50 per cent within two weeks.
