[Conlinned Irom Frsl raall


with close study, skill, nimble fing-
ers, excellent eyes and lot of pa
tience this art can be learned.
To learn this art a school will be
conducted cooperately by the Della
ware State Poultry Association, the
Extension Department of the Uni
versity of Delaware, the State Board
of Agriculture and the U. S. Depart
meht of Agriculture, on Friday, Jan
uary 25, 1885, in Wolf Hall at the
University of Delaware.
H. L. Shrader, senior extension
poultry husbandman and chick sea-
ing expert from the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture will have
charge of this school. Mr. Shrader
will give lectures and individual in
struction to all who enroll. The
school will start at a. m. and con-
tinue all day.
Each one who enrolls will he
supplied with 100 baby chicks for
practice. Because of the cost of
these chicks and other expenses of
the school there will be an enroll
ment fee of $1,000. In order 10 let
the committee know how many
chicks to engage it is very impor-
tant TO enroll not later than Friday,
December 2S. This is the final date
for enrolment because the poultry
man who will hatch these chicks
must know by that date.
Schools of this nature have been
held in number of our nearby
states and since Delaware has be-
come quite a poultry state there
should be a great deal of interest I
shown in this chick seXing school. /.
Again, the County Agricultural /
Agent C. r. Snyder urges the pOul- !
trymen to enroll not later than Fri |
day. December 2S. Send your enroll !

Dolores. And swarthy and slanty
she remained.
"You must make the best Of

good padre. And Dolores duti-
fully tried. Patiently, but with
resentful heart, she daubed
mascara on those strangely mar
row eyes, trying to make them
look round and American" AS
miserably she plastered layer
upon layer Of white powder
over the bronze skin, until she
seemed as sickly livid as any
lizard. But all the time her
young Spanish heart burned
with rebellion.

the top of things like a bird,

hated it; hated it! Weakness,
patience, resignation, surrender
they were not for youth!
Youth should rejoice! Youth
should conquer!
Suddenly, in the young Do
lores, something broke loose!
She was through with being
resigned. She was through
with being resentful, unhappy,
ashamed and afraid. She was
through with BEING LICKED

SWarthineSS Of her skin.

fore getting it to run.
The noise of the exhaust ought
certainly to bring Linda hurry
ing back, he thought. Besides,
she must be hungry. AS the
minutes passed with still no sign
of her, Jerome irritation
changed to anxiety. He had
stripped off his outer clothes
and spread them to dry before
jtarting to work, and without
waiting to put them on he set
off down the beach in sport
shirt and shorts, and barefooted,
to look for her. The tide was
coming by this time, and
made fast the grapnel line and
carried the little brightly gal
vanized hook some distance
ashore.
The beach was crescent
shaped and smooth for about a
furlong, when it was broken by
outcropping lodges Of coral and
coquina that ran out at right
angles to it. These recurring
intercepted an extended view Of
the shore. Higher up, the sand
was deep and fine to a fringe Of
palms thanked by dense jungle
Of which the trees were some
times large. Patches Of vivid
green indicated the island to be
well watered with marShy spots.
Jerome's anxiety and exaS-
peration increased as he hur-
ried along. It was as If a child
in his care had run away to
spite him because he had re-
proved her, and run possibly
into unknown danger. He
would not have admitted that
Linda was dear to him. but he
was conscious Of a mixed desire
to clasp her in his arms on find
ing her safe and sound and
then whip her soundly for the
fright that her willfulness was
causing him. Fond parents

Merely covering limbs, back
and shoulders was not enough
in the old days. Possible up
sets by mischievous boys must
be taken into account, and
long boomers were worn under
a generous skirt. They were
seldom a covering for a swim
mer, for it took a strong and
hardy woman to swim in so
much frippery.
Mother Took q Dip
To this day our family still
INDUCES in hearty laughter at
a picture Of my mother emerg-
ing from a dip, with high
water mark just about the
waist of her voluminous bath
ing suit. Of course, she couldn't
swim, and she wouldn't even
go in above her waist. The
blue bathing suit showed plain
ly how far up she got wet,
and her wide-brimmed straw
hat was dry as bone.

moderns is the picture in our
strip today, showing a girl in
a smart, simple bathing suit,
sitting beside another girl clad

80 years ago. Even the head.
dress is different. Most suits
in those days were made Of
stiff material such as alpaca,
and some of them were even
lined! This one is trimmed
with white braid, and tied
closely at the neckline. A
clutch cap" of the same mate
rial is similarly trimmed.
Jersey Swim Suit
What a contrast! From the
top of her nautical knitted wool
cap to the Soles of her Sandled
feet, this girl is ready for action.
The wool jersey suit, in close
weave, is an excellent swim suit,
and offers ample sun tanning
opportunities as well. It comes
in all good colors, and is Sc in
a downtown store. The cap,
also in all seaworthy colors, is
$1.49, and the sandals, in many
tones too, is $1.95.
The other pictures In the
strip show Irene Hervey in a
suit with checked weave, smart
this season, and available in
most of the downtown stores.

He had saved the anchor and
line enough to carry it above
high water mark.
Linda walked off down the
beach without answering. A
gust Of anger swept over Jerome.
He had intended to explore the
place with her, but now decided
to get to work on the boat. It
was not hard to roll on it's beam
ends in the water. He drove
one Of the oars into the sand
with a block Of coquina stone,
made fast the end Of halyard
to it, then hove the boat down
by hauling the halyard through
the sheave let into the mast
head, rolling the Splintered
Strake clear Of the water.
Two of the cedar plankS were
smashed in raggedly for about
three feet Of their length, and
one Of the frames was broken.
1t would have been a repair job
of about an hour in a shipyard.
Even here Jerome could have
cut out the plank and pieced it
neatly enough with proper ma
terial and tools. He wanted
first to retrieve the engine and
as the quickest way of doing so
cut a big square from the can
vas cockpit cover and hauled
this snugly over the ragged tear
in the boats bilge, securing it
on either side in the fashion Of
q collision mat" This snug
corset proved enough to keep
the water out except for q little
Seepage, as the skiff was carvel
built with a smooth outer skin.
Repairs
Jerome worked rapidly, ex-
pecting Linda to return at any
moment. AS she did not, he
rowed off and hauled up the
engine, the exhaust Of which
he had plugged. The boat
proved tighter than he could
have hoped and he decided that
his collision mat should be
enough to get them safely to
the mainland. He worked some

He came to the coral ledge
that cut across the beach and
clambered over it, wishing that
he had waited to put on his
shoes. Beyond was a sandy
little cove and farther on
broken formation Of other strag-
Cling lodges. Between them
were clear deep pools of aqua
marine. Jerome thought of
barracuda and octopoda and
sharks and Sting-rays. Goose.
creeps rippled down his spine.
He could not understand why
Linda should have wandered so
far, and one would have ex-
pected her to return on hearing
the engine firing.
Strange Prank
Then his eye was caught by a
swiftly moving object that ap-
peared to scurry into the jungle
behind a low flattened ledge
about 200 yards ahead of him.
It looked to be some sort Of
small animal but Jerome could
not be sure how much of it's
bulk had been visible as it
projected above the rock rim.
Then farther down he had a
glimpse of another that disap-
peared in the same battling way.
These animals did not CORE
spond to any creature he could
think Of that was apt to be on
such an island. They were not
goats nor hogs. He hurried on,
curious to see what the tracks
might reveal, but when he came
to the spot where he had seen
the first there were no tracks.
Only naked rock. The same
was true of the second.
He crossed a short strip Of
beach and came to another
ledge that thrust out. The water
on this lee side Of the island
was smooth except for a low
wash. Jerome peered over the
top Of the low ledge. A few
yards away he saw Linda sitting
with her hands claSped under
her bent knees. She had taken
off her dress and had on only
the sheer slip under it. This
was wet and clinging to her.

She answered angr1ly, Bring
back my dress"
"Dress? What are you talk
ing about?"
Bring back my dress, you
bozo!"
He ignored her scanty slip
and his own undress and waded
round the ledge. Linda did not
seem to care. She was too an

weren't men.
