Spring Cheats Which Never Succeed In FooIlng
The CaibIris

There is nothing in all the year quite
like the May woods. Then, If never
again. you can step from your dooryard
into an enchanted forest. The light
yellowish effects OF new green In the
feathery masses of the oak catkins and

est trees are rich feast to the eyes.

wood spreads its snow white masses Of
bloom, says writer in Popular Science
Monthly. In sunlit spaces of greenness

blue colorng of the indigo bird, newly
arrived from its winter quarters In
South America, and glimpse OF arose
breasted grosbeak among the high tree
tops are strangely suggestive Of a trop-
ical forest.

titudc OF curious notes. The weird
cries of the great crested fly catcher
among the topmost branches, and the
loud chant OF the oven bird with its ris-
ing cadence coming from fartherdepths
OF the wood are two OF the most char
acteristic bird voices of the May wood
lands If one would have the famous
song of the mocking bird i'm this sylvan

performance of the catbird. The cat
