 MadaTne considered bordering the panels with Persian iaTnb or with Kolin- sky. She finally decided that the touch of ernine so low on the skirt WAS in better contrast and wouldn't in any way accent the size of the wearer.
 As the waistline Is always an i'm porSant point on a stout wo1nan's dress. Madame gave much thought 10 this 1Aature. First she considered 8 let cord and tassel, but this seemed e bit too striking. She immediately discarded the Idea of the youthful leather belt studded with nall heads. Finally, a cord of black silk braid with heavy tassels was selected as the ideal waist finish for this remarkably distinguished gown The cording is narrow but defines the waist clearly and gives no bulk.
 An attractive black velvet hat with an upturned briIn was chosen for wear with this dress. The crown of this hat IS rounded like a Derby crown. A long, curled. black ostrich feather begins at the side front of the crown and falls over the hair at the back
 I was delighted with this costume when I saw it on the lady, who, when she first entered our salon, seemed to me to spell sartorial despair. She looked quite the "gande dame" in this gown of velvet and ermine. aud she was per- fectly delighted with the lines of her figure. which were really supplied by the simplicity of the dress.

 I have in mind gown of black vel vet which was designed for stout woman who is one of our best custom CTS. Black Is the color for stout per sons, so black velvet was selected for this dress, which, although intended for luncheon and afternoon wear. may be worn at almost any hour of the day, for informal affairs. in keeping with the spirit of wartime.
 This gown of black velvet is built with 6 panel, back and front, which really reaches In one piece from the shoulders to the bottom of the skirt, though the lines are broken a trifle by the girdle and vest.
 The rather high rounded neck of this gown-as you will observe in the illus tration-is in keeping with the round lines of the hour, but is sufficiently high not to broaden the neckline. It reaches quite to the column of the neck on either side. The guinpe or vest of this dress is made of the thinnest white Georgette crepe, sh1rred on cording of crepe. A band of embroidery in black silk described just the line to give length to the throat. Being higher at the side, 1t extends into a U-shaped opening at the front. This band of en-

Hailey hastily stuffed the letter in his blouse, and as he took up his rife and Joined his com rades the expression on his face grew to a ferocity that boded III for any Hun he would meet that morning. In a mo- lnent came the shrill sound of the start Ing whistle. Like a flash they were over the top and off, Corp. Hailey well away in the lead and first to reach the cnen1y's wire.
 Then followed only & few minutes fighting ard the Hun trench was cleared save for considerable number of bocbes who had taken refuge in one of the larg- est and deepest dugouts. All efforts to reach these Huns with bombs had been unsuccessful, for there was evidently some inner recess to which they had retired
 When Corp. Haley heard of the un- nvailing attempts to capture these Huns he shouldered his way to the mouth of the dugout and started to go down the stairs. But an officer seized him bv the arm, and in spite of his pleading to be allowed to ferret them out,'' re- fused to let him go. In few moments, however, Haley returned to the stair head with 50-pound bomb which the boches had used in their heavy trench mortars.
 This will do the trick, sir" he said, saluting the officer If you will just draw back a little, sir, I'll see that it goes down properly"
 The officer made way, but he'd no more than done so when Hailey slid through the entrance to the dugout and began to descend the stairs. For an instant the officer didn't realize the meaning of the action. Then it flashed upon him, and he called out autnorita- 1 lively:
 Corp. Hailey order you to come back immediately"
 | 'T will If I can. sir, when I've fin i ished my work" came the reply from Hailey, who was now well down in the hole. Better ask all to move back bit, sir''
 A short pause followed The officer and men stood as if stunned. Then came a great roar and the ground un- der their feet rocked and heaved as in an earthquake. Corp. Haley had fin ished his work and his career.
 Several days later the men of IIatley's ; company learned that in a recent air 1 raid over England tho German had dropped bomb on the corporal's home, killing his wife and baby boy. The let ter he had received that morning brought him the news.

The big drill hall in the State Armory at Hartford contains nearly 60,000 square feet of floor space. This the farmers of Connecticut expect to fill with a varied and attractive exhibit of farm products that, it is hoped, will lure the consumer as much as 1t grati- fies the producer. Each agricultural association will have all the space it requires for staging its special exhibit. The POmolOgical Socety is undertaking to make its fruit show one of the most attractive features. The vegetable growers, dairymen and poultrymen are making equally elaborate plans. Then there will be the state corn show, un- der the direction of the State Board of Agriculture in combination with the Hartford County Corn Show.
 |. Inasmuch as no live stock can be shown in the armof5, the poultrymeD will try to put on the biggest egg ex- hibit ever held In Connecticut. Prizes are offered for eggs of all standard varieties, for the best case of cggs, the largest dozen and for all containers for shipping eggs, either for matching or for table use. Officers of the Pomo- logical Society have voted $1000 for premiums for the fruit show. In addi- tiOn to the regular classes, there are scheduled several variety-naming con- tests, in which the contestants will be called upon to name as many as they can of twenty different varieties of ap- ples. There will be a separate compe- tion for grocers and grocers' clerks, another for stenographers, enc for wo- men and one for boys and girls under eighteen years old.
 The State Board of Agriculture of fers $500 in premiums for corn. This does not include prizes in connection with the Hartford County Corn Show. L. H. IIealey, Secretary of the Board, says that the program will be so ar ranged that anyone who has grown | corn in Connecticut should enter one or more classes. The sheep breeders will award money prizes for both me dium and long fleeces and for dressed l mutton, and special prizes will be given for the best account of flock rec 1 ords during 1918. The Secretary of the Dairy Association has notified the manager of Farmers Week that the association will have 5000 available for premiums for butter, milk and cream. l Thus there will be total of more than $3,000 in prizes offered by the several associations during Farmers Week, | SOn

their soldiers to fight all the harder. This Is little story which gives an ex- ampSo of how 1t worked.
 Dawn was just creeping over the fields of Flanders, and the British trenches were crowded with eager men awaiting tho signal to go over the top. Suddenly there occurred an unexpected break in the strain-the postman appeared. For a moment the officer in immediate com mand was puzzled. He stopped the postman with his bag of letters, hesi- tated e minute. then in a low tone or dered him to proceed.
 Great joy followed. Every eye shone mere brightly as the men hurriedly ran over the pages of their letters quickly ripped from their envelopes-every eye, save one. The expression that swept over the face of Corp. Haley told his comrades plainly that he was the re- cirient of bad news. As he read his face blanched. look of horror came into his blue eyes, and his strong Jaw set with a snap.

To be possessed of head of heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff is mere ly matter of using a little Dander- inc.
 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a small bottle of Knowlton's Dander- inc now--it costs but few cents-all drug stores recommend it-apply a little as directed and within ten min utes there will be an appearance of abundance, freshness, hufhness and an incompatible gloss and lustre, and try as you will you can not find a trace of dandruff or falling hair; but your real surprise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see new hair-fine and downy at first yes-but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp-Danderine is, we believe, the only sure hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and it never fails to stop falling hair at once.
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at a time. Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just few moments-a , delightful surprise awaits everyone xEo tries this.-Adv.
