Reproduction of Plumage Patterns.

Natures fidelity in copying details of
her display patterns has been studied in
regard to the reproduction of feathers
among chickens in a series of expert
ments by Prof. Raymond Pearl. These
experiments have been made by plucking
a feather and then marking with India
ink around the feather gland to be stud
led. 1t has been found that the feathers
reproduced by the marked foilicle are
identical in pattern with those removed.
If. however the feather is again re-
moved from the follicle soon as it
is fully grown, Prof Pearl finds that
the pattern tends to be broken up and
with further forcing Of regenerate ac-
tivity becomes entirely lost. He explains
this upor the theory that the pattern
of the featf,xi represented by a limited
amount of material in the feather gland,
and that when this is used up the pat
tern is lost.
Following the natural loss of feathers
by melting. however, the most intricate
plumage patterns are reproduced with
extreme fidelity of detail. the original
designs and coloring being evolved again
and again after the seasons of noting
from the pattern material stored in the
fOIlicleS

Many of the most interesting women
in official life in Washington during the
present season are, naturally enough,
those who are newcomers. At the be-
ginning of President Wilson's admins
tration society turned a curious eye upon
these newcomers. and their personalities,
their interests and their entertainments
are still matters of absorbing interest to
other women.
Mrs. Joseph f. Davies. wife of Com
missioner of Corporations Davies. is one
of the most popular women whom the
new administration has brought to Wash
ington. Mr.. and Mrs. Davies were guests
at the Wilson cottage at Seaeirt, \. j..
on the day that President Wilson was
formally notified of his nomination for
the presidency. Mrs. Davies is a close
friend of Miss Margaret Wilson, who Wis
tied her for three weeks at her home in
Wisconsin last year, and frequently drops
in for an informal cup of tea with her.
A common interest in philanthropic mat
tiers and love of music are bonds OF
friendship between the two women.
Before her marriage Mrs. Davies was
Miss Knight. daughter of civil war
veteran - Col. John Fl. Knight of
Bayfield,. Wis. She vas educated
in private schools and before she
made her debut attended a finishing
school in Philadelphia. 1t was while on
a visit to friends who lived near the Uni
versity of Wisconsin that Mrs. Davies
first met her husband, then a student at
the institution. Their engagement soon
followed, and after Mr.. Davies was grad
uated and established in his profession
they were married a Ashland. Wis.
Mrs. Davies popularity may be at
tributed both to a highly cultivated and
attractive personality and to the zest
with which she has entered into life about
her. She entered upon her social duties
In Washington with an evident enjoy
ment in their fulflment that made her
from the first sought after both hostess
and guest. Also she consented to become
a member of the board of managers of
Neighborhood House settlement, and not
only lends her name and influence but
her active sci .ces to the work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davies have taken an
attractive house, well adapted to enter
tanning, and made interesting and at
tractive by a number of good paintings
by contemporary artists and other objects
of beauty and interest.
Mrs. Davies is fond of society and has
found that of the capital particularly
interesting and delightful. Her interest

Here was just the best chance ever to

how smart he had been-smart enough to
