Thus the colorful straw hat this sea

The medium-sized straw shape Is
favorite— but how versatile Its con

latest” Is the longer back brim. It Is
really quite remarkable how truly be

The ahbrevlnted-at-the-front and elon

Many of the French modes carry the

“ I ’ve done all I can tonight,” Billy
answered quietly. “ I ’ll visit her tigalo

Edith stooped and pressed her lips
against the woman’s cheek us they
turned to go.
“ Ought we to leave her so soon?”
she queried.
“ W e can do nothing more for her
tonight,” Billy replied gently. “ And

Billy took a slip of puper from bis

"H ere’s a present for you, Edle,”
he told her. “ I bought It for you
when we were In Cardurcls today.”
Edith gazed at the paper with
widening eyes.
"A railway ticket home!” she ex
claimed. “ Why, Billy— ”
“ This Is no place for a girl that’s
been brought up to a life of luxury
und euse,” Billy responded gravely.
‘T ’ve been a fool not to see that be

dear.”
Then suddenly Edith threw both
arms around her husband's neck.
“ Oh, Billy,” she whispered softly.

fool. And I was selfish.

as the bride o f Billy Marks, u mu

"T w o years more before we leave
here and Billy seeks a practice of
his own,” Edith mused. “ I ’ll go crazy
before then. I f It hadn’t been for
Anna I ’d have gone crazy before this.”
Anna was an old woman, who, with
her son, was their nearest neighbor.
Edith remembered her first letter
home following her arrival at the vil
lage. “ Well, here we are, Liz,” she
had written to her sister, “ a million
miles from nowhere after a wonder
ful honeymoon at Banff and other
points west. And there’s not even a
railway here. W e had to drive down
from Cardurcls, twenty miles away.
And will be here for three years! But
I ’ll never get lonesome so long ns I
have Billy.”
But she had—so lonely at times she
wept from longing. And there were
no social events such as she had been
accustomed to, which formerly had
been the sole matter of her existence.
Suddenly as she stood there musing,
the door was thrown open nnd Billy
entered, stumping the snow from his
overshoes and shaking It from his fur
coat.

Only those eggs that are fresh

One spoiled egg will, In
