V C U R countryubred grand- mothers considered quills as a. very poor.scrt of trini- mlng for bats. There was a reel smack of elegance about ostrich in any form. but when ell one had to do to get a quill for one's hat was to pluck one from the barn- yard goose or turkey. then quills seemed commonplace. Swans also had very pretty quills. and from a crow one might obtain smell. drm quills suitable for children's .hats. These might be dipped in homo-made dyes.‘ trimmed a little and turned into quite presentable trimming for an everyday bat-lf you couldn't afford anything better. ’ .Now of course many of'us would have almost as much trouble to had a. tame turkey or goose from whichto pluck a quill as to meet an ostrich from which to gather a plume. And so goose quills are as highly esteemed as ostrich. Just at present quills of all‘eorta have come into prominence as a trim- ming for the little felt hats that persist In remaining in fashion. A wispiish piece of ribbon or a. lew- eled ornament of some sort may be the sole trimmins of your little felt hat. Rather newer is a quill. or two or_ three. Sometimes the little ‘ shape of bangkok or other light- weight straw Is similarly trimmed. From one of the younger milllners of Paris comes a little but of red picot, with abruptly upturned front brim which is lined with dark red felt. Against this felt brim. standing straight up point- ing to heaven are six black and red quills in a row. These brightly colored quills are well liked. though sometimes they are merely dlppezl In gilt. Jenny has been making little felt shapes with a narrow brim turned down at the front and up at the back. She trims them with little quills placed at the side. A sport hat of 'bslge felt. that a fashionable woman is now wearing. is trimmed with two quills cut from natural colored Bangkok bound with brown velvet. The screw binding of brown velvet edges the hat brim. Another clever little hat of oyster-colored felt. has two smell. transparent quills of what appears to be isinglass. Then there are quills made of egalallih the ”really look exactly like goose Ila. which have the distinct advantage in unsettled weather that they can go through any sort of shower or dampness without, losing their freshness. And they are made In all the vivid new hues. . The sketch shows one hat of natural straw trimmed with gilded quills and ellbther of sand colored felt. with proud ostrich made to simulate the‘cnce—humble quill. it Is sand colored spotted black.

Every American and English visitor takes to them—the sheer stockings—hut finds to her grief that they won’t stand very much sightseeing because of their cobwebby sheerness. So rather than ruin the stockings or" be forced to wear the more substantial sort she halls ‘a taxi. Taxis apparently are cheaper in Paris than thin stockings. The parlslsn who must be econom- ical would save her sheer stookings’ for special occasions and wear cot- ton or lisle for going about town.

Reins had made the aftermath hoeVler than the early mowing. Ellis was gled—-his profit lay largely In the eitermeth. Thence came the clover-seed. High yields depended on the big gold-bended bumble- bees, whose long noses penetrating the florets in search of honey. setb- erod also the pollen that-gave life to embryos next visited. Naturally he rated breaking up and deapolllng their underground nests among deadly field-sins. Sins not so easily committed—who big boss bad a trick of hiding their houses under clumps of thick tangle, here in the clover. Hikers studying nature chose to do it in shade rather than full sunshine. Ellis hated them signs so indolently. He chuckled sourly as screams broke the hush of noon. under-voiced by e shrill shout: , Help! Come here, you man!" . No minutes later he faced a turbulent group—three girls in khaki, flannel. and straw hats, herded by a gengling youth who made up in lack of breadth for his excess length. His open shirt was stained with crushed half closed. his lower lip swelling visibly. A girl as chubby as he was lathy. stood pressing a handkerchief to her check. A second boasted a bracelet of crimson stings about her bare arm just below the elbow. An- other es yet unstung, knelt search- ing amid the tangle for green plan- tain. She had been told it was sov- ereign for any sort oi sting. "Stung—oh! Servos you right. What business have you bothering my boss?" Ellis demanded sourly. The kneeling figure sprang upright, crying: “Oi 0! We didn't know “Whatever they may be they have better manners than ---folks like you."

We had no business getting ourselves in such a pickle—" Masterfully Ellis stepped before her. faced her about.- and said wav- ing an imperative hand to the others: “Come along all of you. Mammy Sarah can ilk you up in a jiffy. If she cara't. why you must wait for dark before you take the road." Mammy Sarah did work wonders but the hikers waited for dark. Ellis left them to themselves, yet showed himself a perfect host. asking no questions, but anticipating every need. Involuntarily he had learned that the girls were Kate, Nanny and Pruwelso that Kate was sister t When in thickening dusk. full fed and much cornlorted.

"There was one. remem- her. too wise to get stung." Darknesi hid it—but really the wise one blushed a. beautiful scarlet over the speech. Upon a crisp November morning that .autumn Ellis stood bursting with pride in the ring at a Fat Stock Show. He had all but swept its hoards of blue ribbons—indeed. Ellis, First, was growing a thought mo- notonous. when glancing up he saw his lethy guest. who caught his arm. crying: “Lord! But I'm glad you're here! Come with mel You must. The girls are waiting back of the pens." "Waiting! For what?" Ellis asked. The bee-hunter giggled. “You wait and see!" then somehow the herd was taken from its proud own , who found himself almost vio- lently impelled betwixt the youngster and his big comrade. "Can't intro- duce you yet—spoil everything." the bee-hunter explained breathlessly— then as they halted ailittle way from a. parked limousine: “Here he is. Have at him all! And may the Lord have mercy on his eye-sight." Very shortly Ellis stood facing the feminine invaders, and staring at a magnificent. chronometcr. created with a bumble bee in diamonds they had collectively thrust upon him. “A souvenir of salvation," their father explained—he was. it ap- peared, Joseph Barnes. president of mi Stock-Show authorities—end by common report worth several mil- lions. The bee7hunter was Allan Lane his prospective brother-In-law. and his fiancee. blushing and smiling up at him, the plump snubby cree- ture who had been so nearly eye- ctung that only Ellie's succors had saved her sight. Ellis went home with them—for a week he belonged to them—no mat- ter about his cattle, his place—any- thing but getting what was due. To his astonishment he was booked to be best man at th arnes wedding. Perhaps the fact i t Nan was maid of honor had something to do with It. However that may have been, after the ceremony and the going away of bride and groom. he found her suddenly in his arms. smiling up at him roguishly and whispering: "We had to get stung also—to match the rest."

They are merely terms designating the amount of energy that is passed over from one circuit to another circuit in e two-circuit or three-circuit or many-circulars- ceivu- or tranmitter. Coupling itself has been msn~ tloned several times already in the Primer. It is a. name. you remem- ber. for the placing of the circuits so that energy passes from one to the other. If the energy Passes through the other, just as it does from the bi‘oedsssting station to the receiving anthem-that is called in- ductive coupling. 1f the energy passes by way of a. connecting con- ductor, like a. resistance. that is called capacity coupling. Any type of coupling my be either close or loose; close when much energy passes over. loose when little energy passes. But the terms looseand close apply em daily to inductive coupling.
