Because we had our best makers copy these dresses from high-priced models These are the reasons why you can buy such REALLY WONDERFUL DRESSES X. H. Barnard, manager of a. poultrv farm In Westboro, has originated a red. white and blue breed of hns.

Quite appropriately they have been called anil Mr Barnard thinks that they are going have a rai part in helping win the war. The very fact that they wear the Na-ttWMl colors seems to give these hens a feeling of self-i-onfllence and assurance. At 'east, they walk about with a orv pert and self-refcpr-tfng air. The roosters are vigorous almost to the point of militancy. They are big.

stoe'ty birds, resembling the Barred Plymouth Rocks in size and shape. There ar reallv two varieties of this new American breed. On one of them Kid. Jvhite and blue appear on every t. ather.

Thene markings give the male AT THESE LOW PRICES There isn't any luck about it any more than it's luck that the dress business of Boston is centered at Conrad's It's due to good hard work and careful planning. 1 If IS4 Ho II irds a verv striking annearanet. the 1 1 mm it At 3.98 Von ran hoy pretty Httle voile frocka in newest sfripeB and cool-looking collars and cuffs In white. 4 JQ Qk You can hoy frocks of 'Al 7it French Hnen. plaid voile, striped ginghams, gabardines, taffeta, plaid silk and white crepe de chine.

Although the appearance of this new breed is remarkably timely. Mr Barnard had no idea that they would make their bow to the public during the progress of the great war. As a. matter of fact, the work of originating Patriots began over 10 years ago.

Clearance Sale of Women's Tub Skirts would produce very large eggs, that would have yellow legs and a yellow skin to meet the preferences of the New England buyers, and a carcass large enough to make a jarood meal when the laying- davs of the hens were over. "The color? Well. I wanted something we did not hav-j. It seemed to me that bird bearing the National colors would be a change.

Accordingly, red, white and blue were decided upon, rind the name Patriots adopted immediately. Then the work of making my pipe dream come true was begun. "Now these dreams have actually materialized. The Patriot, as it stands today, lays eggs that weigh nearly two pounds to the dozen, and lays them as freely as any hen living. Moreover, it lays right through the moult.

"The blood of many breeds has been incorporated Into the Patriots. The Blue Wyandotte and the Blue Anda-lusian were used to produce the blue feathers. Rhode Island Reds helped to give the red markings. White Leghorns have been used to give egg production. "The color question can easily be controlled.

When the Orpingtons first made their appearance, I was among the first to exhibit them in Massachusetts. At that time black in wings and tail was allowed. But in a short time we had a solid buff. I mention this to show how easy it is to control in a general way. It is harder to get the color just where you want it.

The color of the eye of the Patriot is dark red. At first I had black, white, brown and other colors, but the process of elimination I am getting from 40 to 50 percent with good red eyes. It has been much harder to get good red ear lobs. So far theyl come only iwo-thirds red and one-third white, with about 20 percent all red. "The Patriots have not been raised like hothouse birds, so that they are sturdy enough for New England Winters.

It is my idea to cling to the Plymouth Rock shape, only to have the body longer." Mr Barnard has raised a considerable number of these red, white and blue fowls, and their color characteristics, make a strong appeal to many people. If they prove as patriotic as their name and markings, they will help to keep the price of eggs from soaring above the dollar mark the coming Winter.

In the early days of the place a sign board bearing a likeness of George Til hung over the entrance to the main door.

Later this was changed for a portrait of George Washington. The property was acquired by the Boston Elevated Railway several years ago. There was an announcement made by the company many years ago of their intention of tearing the building down, but members of the Watertown Historical Society, and others prominent in the affairs of the town, prevailed upon the officials to save the place because of its historical value. The protest was heeded, but the time has come for the building to go, and before long the famous old landmark will be only a thing of the past. The building stood so close to the tracks of the railway that there was a continual source of danger.

The long and tortuous course of the Rio Grande, the wilderness of chaparral that borders Its banks, and the impossibility for all of its international boundary length to be guarded at all times, offers an inviting opportunity for the slacker to cross th stream without detection.
