Got EN- Guessing.

Miss Alice Robertson, the only WON
an member Of congress as the records
put it, was in conversation with a
group Of male members including Rep
resentative Towner of Iowa and sew
eral others. Something made Miss
Alice peevish at the way part of the
house was acting.
"Tm not the only old woman in this
house." she said as she looked around
the group defantly.
Now the question that is agitating
those present is exactly who Miss Alice
looked at at the moment. There are
as many different versions as there
were members present.

Slowly he backed toward the WIN
dow, unperceived in the general ex-
element; and Hugh lodged rapidly
toward the car. 1t struck him tnat
the seance was over, and he just had
time to see darlington snatch some
thing which appeared to have been
let down by a string from above, be-
fore turning into the bushes and rae
ing for the car. As it was he was
only second or two in front OF the

they were spinning smoothly down the
deserted road, was an open window in

Opaque wall of green fog.
1t took five minutes, so he gathered
afterward from a member Of the house
party, before the light had burned suf-
ficiently low for the duchess to con-
slider it safe to touch the pearls.
In various stages of asphyxiation
the assembled guests had peered at
the box, while the cynical comments
of the men were rightly treated by the
ladies with the contempt they de-
served. Was the necklace not there,
wrapped in its gold and silver tissue,
where a few minutes before there had
been nothing?

there appeared ten or a dozen names
of men who were euphemistically de-
scribed as lecturers while at the end
of the book there appeared nearly fifty
names-both of men and women-who
were proudly denoted as first-class lee

his eyes at some Of the names on the

Drummond, hunched low over the
wheel, in his endeavor to conceal his
identity from the man behind, knew
nothing of that at the time. And LAX
ington was far too busy to bother
with the chauffeur.
One snarling curse as they had
started, for not having done as he had
been told, was the total of their con-
versation during the trip. During the
rest of the time the transformation
to the normal kept darlington busy, and
Hugh could see him reflected in the
wind-screen removing the makeup
from his face, and changing his
clothes.
Even now he was not quite clear
how the trick had been worked. That
there had been two cabinets that was
clear-One false, the other the real
one. That they had been changed at
the crucial moment by the girl Irma
was also obvious. But how had the

and then apparently reappeared again?
For one thing he was quite certain.
Whatever was inside the parcel of
gold and silver tissue which, for all
he knew, they might be still staring
at, it was not the historic necklace.

his mind when the car swung into the

When two minutes later they stared

of the local post of the American Lee
gion. In spite Of the handicap of an
almost empty hall, the eighth members
of the troupe made the extra effort to
give their complete program with the
same care as if they we're appearing
before a crowded house All of the
ten numbers Of dancing, singing and
comic monolOgue were encored. In
stead Of the feared commonplace bur
lesque of most road companies, the
program proved a pleasant surprise to
the assembled few. An operate tenor
and soprano, concert pianist and VIC
linist and ballet dancing Of the best
vaudeville circuits entertained from
eight thirty until ten o'clock The man

played to an overflow crowd in North

soprano, he said. had but recently COM

legion post lost heavily on the enter
prise, however, as the receipts did not
nearly aggregate the amount OF the
guarantee to the performers.

Time was in the history of American
farms when a barn was merely poor
ly constructed shelter for the farm
live stock and some of the feed need
ed to maitain the animals throughout
the winter months. No particular at
tention was paid to the needs of the
animals other than q roof over their
heads and walls to break the winter
winds. Cows housed in these struc-
lures were cold and a great percent
age of the feed they consumed was
used up to maintain the required body
heat, and little went to produce milk
Horses were hot needed for farm work
in winter, so they were put on light
feed, and when spring came were In
poor condition for the heavy work Of
| that season.
Study of the livestock industry
showed that this type of poorly con

structed farm building was expensive.
1t proved that when dairy animals are
kept in a weather-proof building the
milk flow greatly increases during the
cold weather. Better buildings demon
strated that there were means Of not
only keeping the ANIMALS more healthy
and productive, but of doing the WORK
necessary in caring for the live stock
more easilyand In less time. Step by
step the design of barns was i'm
nroved, until barn architecture be-
came so important that it attracted
the attention of the architectural pro-
fession, and an intensive study OF the
needs of the live stock and the farm
owner has brought about standard ar
chitectural practices in barn design
ing.
The modern barn, like the modern
home. is built with two ideas upper
most: comfort and conveniences-com-
fort for the animals that are to live
in il. and convenience for the men
who care for the animals. Modern
barns are constructed of good materi'
ais and are put up in f1rst-class work
manlike manner; they are provided
with systems of ventilation that keep
the air in the stables pure, but elm
mate drafts; they are equipped with
labor-saving fixtures, such as stee

THE new suits for fall have arrived
i In force and In variety and now
1t remains to be seen just which OF the
new styles will be so cordially received
that they will develop into fashions.
Apparently manufacturers have made
q valiant effort to please everyone ana
the salient features of their offerings
are these: the introduction Of several
types of suits and the variation or
these types.
An inspection of the new models
shows that skirts remain practical
and plain. The much heralded longer
skirt is really here, but it is only
slightly longer than conservative skirts
of the passing season. The length of
coats shows the greatest variation, be-
cause of the different types of suits
which designers have used as start
ing point, but the general tendency,
so far, is In favor of those from finger
tip to knee-length. The straight line
silhouette has the confidence Of de-
signers and the new models are uni

pleasant job of removing manure; feed
trucks that carry the feed to the
managers.
A good example of the modern dairy
and horse barn is shown in the ac-
cOmpanying illustration. This barn Is
of about the right size to accommO-
date the live stock-hOrSeS and dairy
cOws-that are found on the average
farm in the Middle West. 1t Is ia
feet long and 80 feet wide, and Is di-
vided into two stables, one to accom-
modate nine horses and the other to
house % cows, their calves and bull.
Adjoining the barn are twin sllos'
which hold enough feed to carry the
animals through the winter and sup
ply them with fresh, chopped corn, or
other ensilage; on the NOV floor there
is plenty of room to store the hay or
other rOughage and the bedding the
animals need to make them comfort
