all summer and shaved all winter at
The little model of the potato-hiller he
was trying to perfect enough to patent.
That evening she was drawing on
her white gloves under the affectfonate
yet critical eyes Of Tom when David
Mcclure was announced. The men
greeted each other with the friendliness
that their school days warranted; yet,
Ellen thought, there was Il reserve on
The part Of each. While they stood
discussing business she had good
opportunity to compare them.
Tom wore his clothes we'll and was
entirely ut ease; David, however, was
plainly from the country. His clothes
were store clothes and Ellen could just
imagine how old Mr. Holloway had
tried the coat on for David in front
OF the mirror that stood before the
bench where new shoes were tried on.
She could fairly see him slap David
on the back: "Wish / could look as
peart," he had probably said as he
called old Mrs. Holloway to view the
fit Of the coat that looked "like it
was made fer Davey"
1t was decided mutually that they
should all dine together and Ellen
found as they drove uptown in the cab
that Tom had ordered early in the
afternoon that she still had ample Oc-
casion to look ut the two men together
She thought of the two proposals, so
like the men who had made them.
II can't give you much now,
honey-except love-" David said as
they had stood under tree laden
with cherry blossoms, "but some day
the potato hitler will work out and
then-then-" his eyes had looked far
away over the hills.
Toms proposal had come while they
stood waiting for taXicab after the
theater: II think whole lot Of you,
Ellen, and with your looks and my
money we'll just make the little old
town hum can gite you everything"
Everythlng-and nothing!
Tonight she would decide. She felt
1t instinctively. At dinner she said
little. Tom did the ordering easily
and she saw that David Mcclure was
delighted to be relieved Of the duty.
Tom was very careful about it all +;
there was nothing left to chance. for
he asked the waiter about every item
to make sure that each one was good
this night. David was plainly dis
tressed by the silverware and Ellen
found that he watched her eagerly to
see which should be picked up first
Between courses Tom said:
Ever study psychology, DavsY
David shool; his head.

SprIno Beautfed-

One of the commonest varieties of
flowers found after the snow has
melted away is the Spring Beauty.
The little blossoms are a very delicate
pink. Each petal Is lined with hair
lines Of deep pink. Some naturalists
claim that these hair lines Of deep
pink are honey guides for insects,
lines that point the way to the tiny
sac Of honey to be found In the center
Of the flower.
Although the stalk Of the Spring
Beauty is very slender, it Is quite
sturdy enough to support the two
slim green leaves. In the base of which
is held the flower, and a cluster of
diminutive buds. each on stem no
larger than a fine thread.

Ballet Among Soap Bubbles

Beautiful scenes are common In the

A soap solution, made with 200 bar

and steam forced through 1t. The I'M

CAN SEE GROWTH OF METALS

Public by Scientific Monthly.

When piece OF iron wire Is placed
in Il solution "f potassium ferricyanide
e to per cent?, containing some
egS-white or SriLt:ne tn act as pro-
tective colloid. and Il little sodium
chloride. delicate blue-green vesicles

are quickly formed; the tubules grow
out rapidly into the solution, and
within half an hour or less the whole
wire Is covered with a dense tilament-
Gus growth resembling blue green
nlsae, writes Prof. Ralph 5. Lille of
Nela research laboratory, Cleveland,
o.. in the Scientific Monthly
Iron is an especially favorable metal
for such experiments apparently be-
cause Of the presence of numerous
local electric couples between differ
ent areas Of the metallic surface, and
tilaments several centimeters long are
readily obtained. These often exhibit
delicate and Irregular cross striations
and other appearances suggestive Of
organic structure.
If instead Of iron the related metals,

ent type Of growth Is obtaind, coarser
and more vascular in structure and
with finer tubules; many of the latter

Movable Hog House Favored.
The farmer who has large num-
Der of pigs can we'll afford to build
movable hog house Such houses,
designed by the Iowa experiment sta
ton at AmeS. have been used for a
number Of years and have proven
their worth. Recently requests for
plans were received from Italy where
some farmers had heard Of the houses
ana wanted to try them. These
houses are inexpensive, easily kept
clean and can be pulled from one
field to another. They can be turned
so that sunlight is allowed to enter
and are arranged so that plenty Of
ventilation Is provided for. The fea-
ture Of the house is the manner In
which sunlight Is allowed to enter
through the top.
The movable hog house Is also cas-
lily disinfected at any time and ie
several are used the hogs and pigs
can be transferred from one to an
other while cleaning is being done.
Rotation Of hog pastures prevents
infestations by parasites. such as
worms which get into the soil and
affect the entire herd.

MAKES LOVE THE TEST

Woman Upholds Marriages
With Japanese and Negroes.

Special Dispatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD
BALTIMORE. Feb. 22.-"Intermarriar
between white women and Japanese,
negroes, Hindus or members of any
ether race is justifiable, provided the
union is founded on love" said Mrs
Monald X. Hooker most prominent suf-
frdgfst in Maryland. speaking to-day at
the meeting of the Just Government
League.
Mrs. Hooker's statement followed an
address by Theodore Gould on the jap
anese question and was made in re-
sponse to question of one of the mem
bers of the club.
Too often,' said Mrs. Hooker. mar
riages are founded on considerations
w-ich have little to do with love. When
mutual affection Is taken as a basis for
marriage unnatural selection of mates
disappears and the situation is as nature
intended It to be. Tho present inter
mingling of races exists without being
sanctioned by law.
There arc negro half breeds and Jap
anese half breeds and half breeds OF
other races. The great hordes of these
tragic souls would dwIndle considera bly,
in my opinion, IL women would mac
merely for love. for I do not believe that
there would he an intermingling of 2
superior race and an inferior race IL tn 4

Considerable protest was voiced
against Mrs. Hooker's opinion. but Il
was not made an issue at the meeting.
