This honored lady of the tub was borne on a throne to the president of the republic, who bestowed upon her a golden bracelet Among other presents she received $100 in gold, a dress which might serve for her wedding gown, and a crown which might later be pawned or used as a parlor decoration, depending upon the vicissitudes of the queens later years.

In addition to these queens there are many more, including queens of students, hucksters, dress makers, and typists.

Vaccinating young chickens against chicken pox is now a proven way for farmers to protect the cash Income from poultry, according to the laboratory of animal pathology and hygiene, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Poultry and eggs now bring in about 11 per cent of the cash income of Illinois farmers, but the total would be even higher were It not for the Inroads of chicken pox and other barriers to the production of high quality products, It was pointed out The disease also Is known as canker sore mouth or avian dipththeriu. Routine vaccination is recommended to all owners of flocks on Infected premises as a result of a two years study by the laboratory. Either fowl pox or pigeon pox vaccine can be used. It was demonstrated that there Is no danger of causing chicken pox by using pigeon pox vaccine. Occasionally, however, serious results follow the use of fowl pox vaccine. It also was found that unhealthy flocks are not good subjects for Immunization with pigeon pox vaccine. Complete protection was not established In all flocks vaccinated with the pigeon pox product In 1932, but in general the results were satisfactory. Vaccination should be restricted to flocks In which the disease occurred during the previous year. All fowls vaccinated with fowl pox vaccine should be placed In voluntary quarantine for two months. Chickens suffering from any other disease should not be vaccinated. Polish Fowls Are Good for Show and Utility Leading in number of varieties of poultry are the Polish fowls White Crested Black, Silver, White, Golden, Silver and White and Bearded Golden. Except for the lack of a beard or whiskers represented by feathers on the throat, the are the same as the bearded In all other standard requirements. All the Polish varieties have an unusual appeal to the chicken fancier and a backyard farmer may be attracted first to such fowls by their unusual plumage, although they really have utility value. There Is considerable doubt aboiit the origin of the Polish fowl, although it probably originated In Poland. Dutch poultry fanciers In the Eighteenth century were instrumental in perfecting the crest. In type, the Polish is much like the Leghorn. It was formerly very ccfmmon in the United States, but with the Increase in the popularity of the Leghorn, interest In the Polish waned, although It still holds a place as an ornamental fowl.

She receives a birthday ring from Bruce MacLain, young artist friend of the family, but more than friend to Barbara. Barbara and Bruce go picknick-tn- g on the Bands at Provincetown. He tells her a story of a gypsy boy, a little gypsy girl whom he loves, and the song of a silver flute. She knows it is her own love tale. Her happiness turns to sorrow when she returns home to learn her father has been drowned. Relatives arrive and take charge of things. Having been almost a mother to the others, Barbara cannot think of their separation, Kit's sensitive nature bruised in Uncle Herberts household by his cousins, and Gay spoiled by her association with Lola. Bruce Aunt urges immedisilly ate marriage, but that would mean separation. Desperate, the four children plot to run away to Barbaras Drake, godfather, "Uncle Stephen whom they have never seen.

The relatives are in Provincetown. The children ran away from them in a truck. I never heard of such a thing Aunt Edith bristled with Indignation. They must be distracted. Have you wired them? What sort of people are they? "Highly respectable, I should say. Again Stephen smiled. Barbara spoke of an Uncle Herbert A relative named Uncle Herbert must be a respectable person. Aunt Edith looked distressed. I cant see that Its a matter for making jokes, she said. The smile vanished. It Isnt. Stephens expression was grave and troubled again. I wish I could help them.

A word of protest rose to Aunt Ediths lips. She was having a luncheon tomorrow. Four children would be hard to explain. But then, this was Stephens housa The protest dissolved slowly and became a sigh. You arent thinking of keeping them? she asked. Of course not! Stephens expression was so startled that Aunt Edith was reassured. What would I do with four children on my hands? I wondered. Aunt Edith collected her wrap and her scarf, her gloves and Youve had a her jet beaded bag. disturbing evening, she said as she rose from the chair. Youd better go to bed and think no more about them. And In the morning, she added, pausing at door, youd better call Emily and apologize. There are some things a woman finds It difficult to be understanding about. Stephen raked the coals in the grate and returned to the deep soft chair. He had been rude. He hadnt, he remembered now, returned to the s and conservatory and the the blossoming orange trees. He had had dinner with the children In the old schoolroom upstairs. But he thought Emily would understand. He would send her flowers in the morning. No, he would take them himself, her favorite white lilacs, and he would tell her the things he had meant to say this evening before the children arrived. What had he told her? How far had he gone? It embarrassed him to realize that he couldnt remember distinctly. The second part of Aunt Ediths advice he found hfmself entirely unable to follow. They were amusing youngsters. Tired as they were, a little awed by their surroundings, he had enjoyed them tonight. That was her mothers Barbara. name. The daughter was very like the Barbara he had loved, the same heart-shape- d face, the soft brown hair, , the dimple that woke when she smiled. Younger, of course, more slightly built, not so vivid, perhaps. But sufficiently like her to arouse disturbing memories of the adventure in southern France. That, he thought, his eyes on the glowing coals, was the only real adventure he had ever known. He had been restless, for a time, when he returned home. He had planned vacation adventures, a voyage on a tramp schooner, a walking trip through Nova Scotia, a winter jaunt through Italy and Spain. He had accomplished none of them. He had never recaptured the glamor of that spring In southern France. Even the war had failed him. He had, through no fault of his own, spent the time In Washington behind a quartermasters desk.

Her voice was warm with love for Kit Kits so so splendid, Uncle Stephen. "Im sure 'he Is," Stephen said. I knew at once that Kit was a splendid chap. Barbaras face lighted sweetly with pleasure. Uncle Stephen seemed to understand. It was easier, now, to tell him about the relatives. She talked eagerly, a torrent of words. Stephen watched the changing expressions In the small pale face framed In curly soft brown hair. He found himself resenting the mature expression which had settled into her eyes. She had known too much responsibility, too much sadness, he thought It occurred to him that charming Christopher Thorne might not have been an entirely reliable parent Why did you come to me? he asked when she had finished and sat looking Into the Are.
