Eggs ETRUCIA went over to the side- board and produced two eggs. She brought them to me. “All to-day, dear,” she said. “What do you expect?” I asked, in the midst of a long editorial in the morning paper. Her glance was almost reproachful, “We have thirteen hens.” I saw that it was easier to assume an interest than to stand the chance PTT Ve ih li of getting into an argument. “Let me see,” I said, beginning to calculate on the edge of the paper, “two into thirteen is—why, it is less than one-sixth of an egg to—” Petrucia stopped me with a glance. “T “hate mathematics,” she said. “ Besides, what I was going to say is this: I shall take this matter up with the Woman's Club.” “The Woman's Club? What has the Woman's Club got to do with the egg question?” “Everything. That is an idea of my own, You see, we were discussing abstract questions, but I suggested that we should take up something that was really worth while. What could be bet- ter than eggs?" “What do you propose to do about it?” I said. “Are you going to have the Woman's Club try to influence the hens?” “Precisely. 1 think it can be done.” I got up. DRALLE’S ILLUSION The woman who knows the art of using per: fume takes as her ideal the delicate fragrance of the fresh bloom That is why DRALLE’S ILLUSION in its dainty case graces the toilet tables of the most famons Society women in the World. DRALLE'S is the veritable fragrance of the fresh flower—delicate and elusive And although it is the most costly perfume, a single drop of DRALLE'S goes farther and keeps its fragrance longer than the many ap- plications of apparently less expensive perfume, Only Druggists, Dealers and Department Stores for the very best trade carry DRALLE'S. ILLUSION. It comes in beautifully cut glass bottles, with elongated drip stopper, in polished wood case. GEORGE BORGFELDT & CO. New York Sole Represeatatives for the United States and Canada “T know it can be done,” I replied. “Tf you can make two eggs grow where only one has grown before— but, Petrucia, just how are you going to do it?” “You don't understand these things at all. We are going to have a mect- read papers about the production of eggs, acquire a body of facts, go into the psychology of the thing and in fact, cover the subject.” “Just as an old hen does on the eggs,” I suggested. You are positively unbearable! I knew you wouldn't understand it!” It was a week later that Petrucia went over to the sideboard one morn- ing and brought back six eggs. “You see,” she said, triumphantly, “what has happened?” “You mean—" “T mean that we had an egg day. Papers were read and an interesting meeting resulted. Yesterday I got six eggs instead of two, and I understand the other members——" “Oh, they keep hens too, do they?” I said. “Oh, yes.” “Well, then,” I said, “if you can produce results like this here and the idea can spread all over the country, I see eggs coming down in price.” “Isn't it wonderful?” said Petrucia; “and the best part of it all is from a purely materialistic basis we cannot ac- count for it. We just had our meeting, you know. Personally I think it is a case of vibrations.” “ Acting upon the hens?” T said. “Yes.

It was produced first in 1796, and the Colonial formula then used has been closely followed through the succeeding 118 years, ABSOLUTE PURITY, DELICATE FLAVOR, CHARMING BOQUET, are the distinctive and dis- tinguishing features that have for years given Large Whiskey its international prestige. As a tonic it is inyaluable— as a beverage delightful. Leading clubs, hotels and cafés, serve Large.
