wiping or other means that will make
the fruit acceptable in the market.
One method recommended for apples
and pears which can be followed at
a cost of a few. cents per box is to
wipe the fruit with cotton gloves.
It is pointed out that if heavy rain
falls do not occur after heavy late
spraying the coating that remains

prehension in the minds Of the con-
s,lmers, even though the residue may
be entirely harmless. In some cases,
however, heavy late spraying has
been sufficient to be actually injur-

seizure under state of Federal food
and drug laws. l. 80. 81, =,

Aesop's Fables.

It is true that some "translators" OF
Aesop's Fables use "hen" for goose;
in the fable about the golden egg, hut
the Greek of the "text" is "chen, y
which looks like some fountainhead
of "hen" but really means "geosc."
The accepted translators, or rather
adapters, follow the familiar word of
the vast majority, goose" 1t must be
remembered that there really Is no
original Aesopian text, but only some
later prescriptions Of what came to
be regarded as the fables told by the
old slave. The actual fount of the
Aesopian folklore was Babrius, a Hell
lenistic fabulist of the second century,
who wrote the fables in verse. Since
there have been many versions and
some years ago a batch Of 10 more
were found in the Vatican library. This
Greek word "chen' was pronounced
Kane" and hence it has no relation
to "hen" except it's belonging to the
fowl family.

So he was taken to the headquart-
ers Of the National Woman's party
here, and presented to Miss Alice
Paul, chairman of that party.
'How do you do?" said Miss Paul,
inviting him to be. seated, won't
you have a candy?"
Fancy" said the Englishman al
terward. "She asked me to have a

He seemed surprised and not lit

as contrasted with English ones.
1--WE were led into q lofty room"
he said, that seemed full of great
purple masses and pale sunshine. The
purple masses, one soon discovered,
were pieces Of furniture, arranged
most artistically, and all most roy
ally empurpled with rich violet. The
pale sunshinny effect, we found, was
produced by light fiItering thru thin
golden hangings. The whole room
was purple and gold and white, and
it was, somehow, very imposing.
And then we were bowling to a
lady who also was enveloped in some
pale sunshiny stuff like the hangings
were made of. She was sitting with
her back to the light in purple
equally purple ones set costly tete-a-
tete with hers. Remark at this point
that the filtered sunshine gave her
a full view of her visitors faces,
while her own was somewhat shad-
owed. When I observed that trifling
detail I felt myself growing wary.

persons who know their way about

"'Will you have a candy?' this
lady invited us, extending a box of
CONNECTIONS. I confess I was surpris-
ed. The regal appointments of the
room had not prepared me for this.
Quite candidly. was flabbergasted,
and, fear, mumbled somewhat as
declined the sweets.
"All the while we talked, good
looking young women kept coming in
and going out. with kilograms and
papers and messages, and Miss Paul.
quietly disposed of good deal of
routine business without interrupting
the flow of conversation. You no

"Your American suffragists, who
have had as rough fight of it in its

pressed me as quite different in some
respects. If I go making COMPARE
sons, I'll get into no end of row,
of course, but I'm tempted to chance
it by just one observation. That is,
that your American suffragists, take
them by and large, are deal young
er-1 mean in their outlook and their
virility and-well, they're younger,
somehow, and very refreshing set
of young persons.
"Just fancy, Miss Paul asked me,
will you have candy?"
And he shook his head over that
