She was demurely clad in a bun

The instant she saw his face she knew
that something terrible had happened.
He looked as stern and hard and gray
as a rock.
"Oh, doarest"' She ran to him, but
he caught her hands away from his
neck and held her back, while he eyed
her closely.

or what?"
GO get those Jade earrings. I
want to see them he demanded.
Elaine went into her room and came
out with the earrings and laid them
upon the table. She was puzzled.
What was 1t all about anyway? What
had happened to make Reeve act so?
The idea of anybody save him giving
her anything!
He scowled down at the bit of
twinkling glass, then he looked at her
with such a panied, little boy express

But she was beginning to see a little
light and the illumination angered
her.

asked.
"She did" Reeve was honest.

" LAME BARBER had gone to

potato maSher. Reve was so
IL fond of mashed potato, only
he called it damned potato.
Just as his mother had taught him,
and Elaine as a young wife was in
tent on pleasing him in that respect
as all others. 1t seemed, however,
that there were several patterns of
potato mashers, and Elaine Wrin6led
her fair, young brow over the Selec-
ton. Then having paid her money
and received her parcel she was
leaving the store when she caught
sight of a new and appealing glitter
under the electric bulb.

were the real thing" she exclaimed
to the salesgirl
The salesgirl plucked a pair of ear
rings and dangled them before Elaine's
eyes enticingly.

you can't tell them from jade she
said.
That's true: you can't-Ill take

another coin. and left the store with
a dancing heart, which was the re-
suit of buying not commonplace
potato masher but pair of jade ear
rings.
She had wanted a pair of earrings
80 long. but, of course, they were not
among the indispensables and there
fore not to be thought of-the budget
box was designed to yield just so
much and no more. But nothing SO
perfectly magical had ever happened
before, Elaine thought joyously, as
this actual stumbling Of hers upon
that tray Of earrings. She would wear
them to Sibyl's party that very after
noon. AS to what happened after

make me look sophisticated and as If
I'd stepped out of the last revue"
At a quarter to Mrs. Willard
came in her car for Elaine. She
gave gasp when she saw Elaine,
but said nothing. Elaine. however.
had heard that gasp and felt her
triumph had begun.
Thirty women of all ages and de-
grees of beauty were gathered il Mrs.
Pitney's fashionably furnished rooms
der the wing Of Mrs. Willard
entered serenely, upheld by the con-
sciousnesS that at least she, like her
earrings, could not be told from the
real thing. There was another gasp
as Sibyl saw her, and her eyes grew
at least two sizes larger. Ordinarily
Elaine would have Uttered. but she
was determined to live up to the
character of her jade earrings.
Usually she lost at cards. for she
hated them. and only played on such
occasions as this, when she couldn't
get out of doing SO. But now she
won-won so excessively that she
thought she heard Miss Knight
a card shark" When it came to the
distribution Of prizes Elaine received
the first-a graceful cut-glass vase
which Sibyl had chosen with an eye
to Mrs. Gawtry. her particular friend
and great card player. Elaine, even
as she bowed her thanks, thought
wickedly:
"Sibyl is mad enough to eat me.
What a lot I'll have to tell my
hubby" For he of all people would
enjoy joke on his ultra fashionable
sister.
Mrs. Willard stuck by Elaine to the
last and took her home. Elaine
danced into the house, ecstatic but
tired. 1t had been hard and she
was sure that she heard Miss Waters
say Jade with no reference to the
earrings. Well! Elaine yawned and

the floor and stamped on them.
There! There! There" she cried
with each stamp. Then whirling she

upon it.
Instantly Reeve was at her side.

She's never liked me-" sobbed
Elaine. "She is a cat--and got them
at the 1O-cent store. They've got a
tray full-Oh! Oh"' She howled like
a baby.
OF course, it was all over in no time
and. the cloud passing, the sun shone
all the brighter.
"It is too bad you busted them
Reeve said regretfully. Go and get
you some more, Honey"
Elaine mashed potatoes with a firm
hand
"Never-never," she sighed.

HOW OYSTERS GROW

tn HE oyster scare of last winter, ac.
i cording to the Fish and Oyster
Reporter, cost the oyster industry OF
this country $3O,000,0O0. So complete
ly was the bottom knocked out of the
business that some of the older men
said the oyster industry would not
recover in ten years. But, as often
happens, the excitement and discus
sion that resulted was blessing in
disguise and the oyster business today
is in a healthier and more promising
condition than 1t ever has been.
For one thing, the widespread in
vestigation of the methods heretofore
used in handling oysters, stimulated
interest in the old problem of the ar
tificial propagation of oysters. At
recent dinner of the National Associ-
alton of Fisheries Commissioners held
at Washington, artificially grown oys-
tiers were served for the first time at
d banquet.
In 1879, Professor Brooks Of Johns
Hopkins tried to raise oysters arti-
ficially, but was never able to keep the
eggs alive for more than five days.
Others have had the same experience
Mr.. >Wells has been working on this
problem for Ave years and has at last
succeeded in growing food oysters I'M
der purely artificial conditions.
Oysters, says Mr.. Wells, are suffer
ing from the encrOachment of civili-
zation. In early days, they were found
in quantities all along the Atlantic
coast. Pollution of the sea water
from towns along the coast and the
increased demand for them has so re-
duced the supply that the beds are
now in some places exhausted. If Mr..
Wells can work out methods by which
they can be grown in large quantities,
we can have not only better oysters
but cheaper oysters.
The possibilities for growing oysters
are unlimited. In the warm summer
months the lady oyster lays from six
to ten million eggs, but, alas, most of
them are eaten by fishes or other mol
lusks or die through failure to find
something to >-eling to. Others are
smothered by seaweeds or killed by
freshets from the rivers or by sea
storms. Those which survive cling to-
gether in clusters, develop a shell and
must grow for four years before they
are at for food.
Artificial methods by which the oys-
ter can be protected from its many
enemies will greatly increase the sup.
ply Of this delicious fsOd.
