EGGS OFF 2CENTS,

Action Produces Results
in One Day.
ENDLESS CHAIN PH0NING

BY the Associn ted Press.
NEW YORK, November 29.-The price
of cold-storage eggs at wholesale was
1 and.2 cents lower today than yes
terday morning when the egg boycott
began. Eggs sold at "a to 50 cents a
dozen, according to grade. The aver
age price for fresh eggs was SO cents
as compared with So at this time year
ago. The price of fresh eggs showed
no change from yesterday.
Referring to the boycott. the Pro-
ducers' Price Current says: THE de-
mand (for eggs) is naturally restricted
by the high prices ruling and by an
abnormal effect of boycott and news
paper agitation, but the requirements
of fine fresh stock are sufficient to alb
sorb the small supply of such available
at firm prices"
Some of the wholesale dealers assert
ed that the boycott would play into
the hands of foreign buyers. They
said that men who want eggs for eI-
port are waiting for a reduct on in
price. An official daily report issued
for the benefit of produce dealers said:
storage eggs are lower under a reduc-
ton of speculative support and dis
position on the part of the distributing
trade to hold off and increase the stock
on hand"

Fuss and feathers" is the time
honored term used by misanthropes
usually masculine, to typify the foot
less frippery of feminine attire 1t is
true that it is only about 100 years
since mems attire became standardized
and that before that day the dress of
the male half of the gay world was al
most, if not quite, as eXtravagantly
frivolous and as varied as that of the
female while the derogatory phrase is
ever so much older than that. Probably
some drab Puritan husband. in his
eternal snuff colored clothes and
square-toed black shoes, was the first
to coin it, as he watched the silk-clad
butterflies of world which he despised.
In those days one of the badges which
marked the grave from the gay was
the ostrich feather which every gallant.
or every one who made any pretension
to gallantry, took pride in wearing in
his hat. During all the Stuart period
the ostrich feather enjoyed an undis-
puted vogue. and 1t has been in and out
again in the esteem of the milliners
ever since. The shabbiest ruffier of
those dashing times boosted broken
feather as his patent of gentility and
let it droop with an air of false humility
over his shoulder. Court ladies ringed
their wide hats with trailing plumes.
and gentlemen swept the floor with
them when they DOTTED their broad
brimmed hats in greeting.
1t remains a tradition with many of
us that, no matter how long it has seen
service, ostrich feather is too
precious to be thrown away. Did you
ever actually bring yourself to discard
one permanently? Haven't most of us
