THE GOLDEN KEY
Or, ,The A dventures of Ledgzrd.rr
By the Author of "What He Cost Her."
CHAPTER XVIII.
After six weeks incessant throb
Bing the great engines were still, and
the Dunottar Castle lay at anchor a
mile or two from the African coast
and off the town of Attra. The heat,
which in motion had been hard enough
to bear, was positively stifling now.
The sun burned down upon the glassy
sea and the white deck till the var-
nish on the rails cracked and blister-
ed, and the sweat streamed like wa-
ter from the faces of the laboring
seamen. Below at the ship's side
half a dozen surf boats were waiting,
manned by Kru boys, who alone
seemed perfectly comfortable, and
cheerful as usual. All around were
preparations for landing --boxes were:
being hauled up from the hold, and
people were going about in search'of I
small parcels and deck -chairs and
missing acquaintances. Trent. in •
white linen clothes and puggaree,
was leaning over the railing, gazing
towards the town, when Da Souza
came up to him --
"Last morning, Mr. Trent!" •
Trent glanced round and nodded.
"Are you disembarking here?" he
asked.
Da Souza admitted the fact. "My
brother will meet me," he said. "He

From present indications it would
appear that one of the most impor-

provement of the Canadian egg trade
was the action taken by the Canadian
Produce Association, last winter in
adopting, definite, standards for Cana-
dian eggs.
Hitherto .each market and in most
markets each dealer had a system of
grading peculiar to his own trade.
This resulted in endless. confusion to
the consumer, and great difficulty. was

The grades in the "Fresh Gathered"

Consumers, in order to protect
themselves in the matter of .purchas-
ing eggs, should acquaint themselves
with these standards and the above
definitions of the grades. Only by
creating a demand for certain grades
of eggs will the supply be forthcom-
ing, and the demand• can come. only
with a thorough knowledge on the
part of the consumer as to what con-
stitutes the .various grades.' It has
also been frequently suggested that
since the: adoption of the standards
consumers generally, in order to 'safe-
guard themselves, would do well to in-
sistthat all eggs as offered for sale
be labelled in accordance with their
proper grade.
Producers, too, would do well to'
more systematically grade their eggs
before marketing, and, knowing defi-
nitely what they have in hand, there-
by be in a better position to demand a
price commensurate with the quality
supplied.

radium silk, elaborately embroidered
in gold and silver thread; with just
enough cinnamon brown thread to ,
give character and strength to the
design.
Jacket effects appear now in
blouses. A white chiffon has a little
bolero of white Lierre lace and on
the bolero is a wide collar and revers
of lace, The long undersleeves are
of chiffon, and the three-quarter
oversleeves are of lace. On the front
of the bodice, forming a vestee ef-
fect, is a clever design, done in old
blue ribbons.,
A blouse of white crepe Georgette
has a straight -across shoulder yoke,
which is embroidered' with blue silk
half moons and eyelets, which decora-
tive effect is also used for roll collar,
.cuffs and revers. The sleeves are
long, with flaring cuffs.
-Peachblow crepe de chine is used
for .a bodice that looks like a rosy
cloud at sunrise. The fronts.are pin -
tucked in groups on either side of a
wide front he'm, and the upper por-
tion has a simulated yoke made by
exquisite drawn work done by hand.
The roll collar is of crepe, and there
is an additional fiat collar at the back
of martin. °
Collars are unique, cuffs are un-
usual, sleeyes are di many kinds—in
fact, every, garment is something
new. .
A Watteau costume by Paquin
tints of pale rose and pale blue is ex-
quisitely trimmed with garlands of .,
hand -made flowers. The bodice of
this gown has wide shoulder bands of
pale blue velvet ribbon, holding in
place a silver lace cape at . the back.
This lace cape idea is shown in a dif-
ferent form in a gown by Drecoll that
is all in Black, a very smart dinner
dress for older women. • This is in
black tulle,. the skirt trimmed with
wide bands of satin ribbon edged with
kolinsky, the bodice short sleeves,
very clecollete, with cape effect at the. ,
back of black Chantilly. '
Taffeta is being replaced by faille,
both in plain weaves and in piquantly
brocaded effects; •and grosgrain,
which is somewhat similar to faille,
but has a tighter weave and is there-
fore stiffer, although not heavier, is
by some houses preferred to faille.
The word "stiff,” however, must not
be taken to mean a fabric that is not
pliable, for although there is decided
substance to the new grosgrains and
satins, they are not unwieldy. fabrics,
but lend themselves .pliantly to the
present mode of.puffs and flounces.

GERMAN FIRE BALLS.
London Police . Prepare, for Gas
Bombs:
• In recent raids by German airships

incendiary', carrying but a small ex-
plosive charge. From this fact it is
now assumed that the Germans' be- ,

is feared that in future attacks these
bombs may be followed by the so-
