ROSE COLOR FIRST IN FAVOR
Most Attractive Shade Is Given Pref
erence Over All Others, at the
Present Moment.

Rose linen is a favorite and rose
null and sweaters in rose and pink
and white embroidery, rose net en-
broidered in silver, rose girdles and
rose garlands are everywhere. And
as for millinery, the rosy hats are
'all over the place"
Most fascinating to wear with lin
gerie gowns are rose taffeta Jackets.
They are made in number of be-
quilting ways. Some are short Elton
and others come well below the waist.
On the rose-trimmed hats the roses
are used in large single ones or
wreaths about tie crown. A whole
crown of them IS sometimes used.
From the handsome full-blown va
riety to the WEAKEST buds are en-
ployed. Even tina wild rose is often
pressed fiat against the crown in de-
lightful effect
The rosiest Of hens of taffeta is
used on frocks of chiffon, net or en-
broidery Sometimes, too, the only
rose the gown may show will be in the
hem itself
The rose applique trimming used
now is not like the old-fashioned ap-
plique. 1t is far more graceful and
has almost the effect of painting.
Perhaps the reason that older wom-
en- may venture into pink these days
is because there are SO many more
with gray hair and pink cheeks.
Rose is the first choice in dance
frocks, and rose color means any
thing from deep American beauty to
the palest pink.

which would terrify your nice Scotch

Craig?"
Nothing has happened. sir" he re-
piled. THE telephone is ringing in

Il will answer it myself" the profess
sor declared, bustling off.
The professor took up the receiver
from the telephone. His "Hello!" was
mild and inquiring. He had no doubt
that the call was from some admiring
disciple. The change in his face as
he listened, however. was amazing.

His brother looked at him blankly.

growing alike in sadness and firmness.
1T is the curator of the museum who
is speaking. They have just opened
the box. 1t has lain for two days in
an anteroom. 1t is empty"
Lord Ashleigh muttered some
thing a little vague. The theft of

unscientific mind to be realizable

FINAL PLANS FOR
LIVESTOCK EXHIBIT
Chance for Ohio Stock Raisers. and Horse
Breeders Commission Will Aid Exhib-
itors in Sending Stock to Expo.

Columbus. = Especially - Directing
commissioner Newton Nj Miller has
returned from San Francisco to pre-
side at a meeting of the Ohio exposi-
ton commission to complete arrange
ments for Ohio's participation. in the
forthcoming live stock and poultry
representation at the exposition.
Two years ago the Ohio legislature
appropriated $4,000 for display Of
agriculture, live. stock.and poultry at
the exposition, and upwards of $4,000
was expended in the way of agricul-
ture, which occupies one of the most
prominent booths in the Palace of Ag-
riculture, constituting what is consid-
cred an exhibit highly creditable to
Ohio. The display consists of corn,
wheat, wool, tobacco, honey, etc., and
is in charge of Clayton Breese of Del
aware county.
The balance of the $4,000 appropri.
alton will be devoted to the display of
live stock and poultry. There has been
delay in arrangements concerning the
live stock exhibit on account of the
quarantine against Ohio cattle, but Mr..
Miller took home with him assurance
that the quarantine will be practically
lifted.
Exhibitors of live stock will pay the
freight on their stock to the exposition,
running the risk of securing an award
and the consequent refunding of trans
portatlon costs by the commission.
Poultry will be judged in Ohio and the
best birds shipped at the cost of the
state. Two thousand dollars will be al
lotted by, the commission for poultry,
to which the Ohio Poultry association
will add $4,000.
Not more than $4,000 will be spent
for transportation of horses, nor more
than that amount for cattle, nor more
than $4,000 for sheep or hogs. By a
system of scoring, allowing five points
for each head of prize horses, four
points for cattle, one point for sheep
and one point for hogs, the proportion
| OF expenses on. the live stock will be
determined. To prevent any single ex-
hibitor from entering too many ami
mails, only 160 points will be allowed
any one person.
j. e. Gault of Chippewa Lake, F. L.
Platt of Swanton and Thos. Faulkner
of Tiffin will be poultry judges and the
live stock display will be supervised
by Commissioners Charles Allen and
L. P. Bailey, in cooperation with
Charles Mcintyre, chief agricuIturiss
Ohio board Of administration, and F.
s. Jacoby, professor of poultry hus
bandry, Ohio State university.

Through the wide-fung door was Wis

of the two large reception rooms Mrs.
Rheinholdt herself, woman dark,
handsome and in the prime of life,
was standing to receive her guests.
BY her side was her son, whose twen-

Here he is, mother!" the young man
exclaimed suddenly. Good old boy!
l thought he'd keep his word"
Mrs. Rheinholdt assumed her most
encouraging and condescending smile
as she held out both hands to the pro-
fessor.
1T is perfectly sweet of you, pro-
fessor." Mrs. Rheinholdt declared.
Mrs. Rheinholdt breathed sigh of
relief as she greeted her new arrivals.
The professor made himself univer-
sally agreeable in a mild way, and his
presence created even more than the
sensation which Mrs. Rheinholdt had
hoped for. In her desire to show
him ample honor she seldom left his
side
Il am going to take you into my
husbands study" she suggested, later
on in the evening. "He has some spe.

there was no hope. He shook his head

dows. The only other sound from out
side was the changing of the street

horting, almost hysterical, pealed out
to the roof At every pause the little
gathering of men and women groaned
in sympathy. The mans frame was
shaken with sobs.
