day morning for Long Island. They
are Mrs. Arthur Fowler and Mrs.

gether for a vacation from the
warmth of Washington. Mrs. FoW-
Ter will remain at Oyster Bay until

antler is formed, it is covered with
a soft hairy skin through which blood
vessels run. The skin is known as
the velvet" During this period of
growth the antler or horn is said to
be green" i.e., not yet ripe or fully
