About five o'clock on the same

Laimor, who, with an air of grim de-
termination, was concentrat ting his at

ether magazines and reviews lay scat

WlNDY-DAY WELLS.
To BE Fashionable and Protective rs Well
They Must BE of Chiffon.


They Must BE of Chiffon.
1t isn't the least bit fashionable to
wear gauzv, fancy yelling on days when
winter winds are whisking about the
street corners, ready to kiss away
every particle of beauty from fair
skins The roses planted in pale
cheeks from wind tussles may look
very alluring for time, but the poor
damsel who owns them soon finds out
that their beauty is short-lived. Cheeks
roughened and redeemed by exposure
to the elements bear a very different
bloom from that which comes with
health and hygienic exercise.
She who has been foolish enough to
don her thinnest or daintiest veil for a
wintry walk has plenty of leisure for
repentance. Soon the cry goes up for
remedies for chapped face and lips. and
the silly young thing adds each day a
new jar of cream or vaseline to her toilet
stand Her suffering may be relieved,
but it takes long, long time to coax
back the dainty texture of her skin.
So remember this, girls, and before
you have quite destroyed your good
looks with wind massage adopt some
thing substantial in wells for your cold
weather outing
Fashionable women would as soon
think of appearing without their furry
trappings on a windy winter day as to
neglect to screen their features in a
blue or black length of chiffon or sew
ing silk. Philadelphia Times.

BIRD WISDOM,

How does the last years bird. that never saw
An egg, hedging. nor "a half built nest.
Know 10 obey her species annual law,
And when the SHOWS melt and the rivulets
thaw,
To start upon her busy April quest
And gather straws, and threads and bits OF
Tangles of wool from cruel pasture burrs.
Flunes dropped from wings which never knew
their loss
And shape of them, with timber twigs across.
A shelter for the brood that may be hers?
Who bids her bind it close with grassy stringsi
To hollow it, and round it with her breast,
AND line it with all soft and kindly things,
Even the down from underneath her wings
Until it is smooth and perfect nest?
And when its tiny treasures greet her sight.
Those silent spheres of future Joy and song,
Soft blue, or sprnkled brown, or pearly white
Who tells her to protect them day and night,
And keep them hidden close and warm so
long?
Who teaches her TO cherish them so well.
To brood and watch the fragile things abovei
How does she know the germ within will swell
And gather force to break the brittle shell,
And be = living thing for her to love?
stho knows: though nature teens with mys-
teriGS,
She never grants us one enlightening word;
The hoarieSt sage among US, and most wise,
Can only wonder, with admiring eyes,
At the fine wisdom OF a little bird
Surely, these foathered folk. who live so near
TO nature, understand her deepest lore.
Ana. breathing in purer atmosphere,
