today Mr.. Mills, of Texas, took up the

He said that the opponents of the

tax of 2 per cent on incomes, but
when a poor fellow wants a shirt and
is taxed 100 per cent for it, nothing

FREAKS OF FASHION.

The fancy for wearing jewelry is
growing apace, and long watch chains
are becoming popular again. If the
lovely jeweled ones are beyond the
limit Of price, then the Old-fashioned
gold ones which have been in oblivion
for years may be brought out for
duty. 1t is not at all necessary that
there should be a watch at the end Of
the chain, for the utility element is a
minor consideration. A brooch fastens
it at the neck, and it may be festoOned
lower down and lose itself in the
trimming Of the dress, suggesting a
dainty little watch tucked away in the
folds.
The incongruous combination OF
pique and velvet would never occur
to any one but a French modiste, to
whom all things in the dressmakers'
art is possible But a white pique
skirt and a mOuse-cOlored velvet vest
over a plastron Of white chiffon,
strapped across with blue watered rib
bon, is one Of the freaks of French
fashion. Fine butter colored Swiss
embroidered in open work de-
sign, and made over rose pink silk,
has very Frenchy air.
Pongee silk in it's natural ecru shade
s used for shirt waists, which are
made very simply with turnover col
ars and cuffs and bishop sleeves. The
'eally Smart shirt is made Of colored
:hambray, with white linen collars
md cuffs.
Large brown velvet roses, black vel
ct ox-eyed daisies, with yellow hearts,
nd black velvet violets are the latest
lovelties in millinery.
The new tennis fannels have tiny
ilk lines on the surface, and include
retty checks and plain colors.
Antelope skin is the latest novelty
Or talior-made waistcoats.

FOLLOWING THE BLUEBIRD.
How They Migrate to the North a!
Spring Comes on.

Maurice Thompson in New York In
derendent:-Mark Catesby was the
first ornithologist to describe our blue
bird intelligently, and he made the
mistake of calling it's fight rapid.
when, in fact, few of our oscines are
more leisurely and deliberate in their
wing movements. AS far as ] can see
bluebird [ can recognize its dreamy.
floating motion when it's goes straying
from stake to stake along a fence row.
Edwards and Wilson followed Catesby.
and have been in turn followed by
most later descriptive writer's into the
error of making out the bluebird to be
a great flyer and capable of distant
migration. My own observation shows
that our stalls does not make long
flights. It's migratory movements are
dilatory mere evasions Of extreme
cold. Wilson himself more than sus-
pected this, and made fun Of the
popular legend that bluebirds hid in
rock crevices and hollow trees during
winter weather.
[ once set out northward from the
gulf coast late in January and OBJ
served bluebirds as far north as Deca-
tur, Ala. Ten days afterward they
were along the southern side of the
valley of the Ohio river; on the 18th Of
February they arrived at my home
nearly 200 miles further north In
fact, these plucky little birds play
along the surf-line of winter until it
withdraws from their immemorial
nesting region. Ornithlogists seem to
forget that the westinghouse of a bird
is nearly always it's furthest northward
perch, and that bluebirds. and many
other migratory birds, nest all the
way from Canada to Florida Each
bird withdraws southwark from his
home only just as far as the surf-line
Of winter pushes it. This is not true
Of all migratory species, but it applies
to the hooking bird, the common robin,
the turtledove, the bluebird and many
other oscines. The bluebird, being ex-
tremely brave and hardy, is often
resident considerably north of the
mountain region Of Tennessee. That
is, he winters there; and he it is who
jumps up into middle Indiana when
ever there comes a week or two of
mild weather late in January or during
February. When our winters are very
cold, and wash far south with their
glacial tides, the bluebirds huddle
along the gulf slope. I have seen
them there so numerous that they
made blue simmer in the open
woodlands. It is the same with the
robins. I have seen them swarm like !
Pot-hunters kill them by !
the thousands. 1t is a bad winter !
north of the mountains when robin !
shooting is good in southern Georgia.
