THE DESIRE FOR
A CHANGE COMES
WITH SPRING.


The flowers appear on the earth; the
time of the singing of birds is come, and
the voice of the turtle is heard in our
land.
figs. and the vines with the tender
grape give a good smell. Arise, my love,
my fair one, and come away.
And all the poets since then have sung
this love song of spring. Solomon read
natures law in Palestine. and away over
in England Tennyson saw the same les
son:
In the spring a fuller crimson comes
upon the robins breast;
In the spring the wanton lapwing gets
himself another crest;
In the spring liyelier iris changes on
the FURNISHED dove;
In the spring a young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love.
Nature understands her business and
she supplies the robin with bright new
shirtwaist and the lapwiDg with an
Easter bonnet, because the time has
come to mako yourself beautiful
With all due respect to Ernest Seton
Thompson, very large part of what he
calls directive color in animals would
more properly be called attractive col
or" but it is to be noted that nature
otc commonly gives the pretty clothes
to the male than to the female. Any
one who has seen a peacock, or tur-
key cock, or a common barnyard cock,
struttlng before his hens. knows that
his fine feathers were given him to go
accounting in, and 50 with the mallard
drake the drake of the woodduck and
many other birds. The bobolink wears
his fine clothes only during the nesting
season, and then resumes the everyday
colors which his wife wears the year
around. Why this rule is reversed in
the human race we cannot say unless,
perhaps, it is because men are so at
tractive naturally that if they wore all
the fine clothes they would be utterly
irresistible.

DeQJ1 CLOTHES.
PROBLEMS
To be answered April Is:

NATURE AND NEW CLOTHES.
Spring is here and you are thinking
about new clothes. You need not resent
the statement. 1t is true, and you know
it. Moreover, there is nothing discredit-
able about it, This is natures time for
new clothes, both in the animal and the
vegetable kingdom.
Nature tahes care OF the plant life and
sends it out with fresh apparel suited
to the season Nature is just as kind to
the animal that cannot provide new
clothes for itself. You may complain be-
cause your horse is shedding" but he
is only laying aside his winter clothing
and putting on his summer dress. His
heavy coat would be very uncomfortable
for him in summer and SO. would yours
be for you. That is the first reason
why you are thinking about new clothes.
They are essential to your comfort.
You are restless and uneasy when
you Get an hodr Of quiet sunshine,
and you are very apt to get foolish ana
discard your winter clothing all at once.
and too soon. Whereby you accumulate
grip, pneumonia, appendicitis and other
things as bad or worse. Nature makes
no mistake of that kind. She takes an
animals winter clothes off gradually and
safely 1t will probably be safe for you
to begin on Easter, but there is no ne
cessity of being too radical about it,
There is another great law of nature
in the spring desire for new clothes
though you may not believe it. Spring
is natures love time and nature gives
you the desire to make yourself beauti-
full" You waste your time If you deny
it, for it has been conceded by all the
great thinkers for centuries. Remember
what the wisest of wise men said:
My beloved spake and said unto me,
Rise up, my love, my fair one. and come
away.
For, 10, the winter is past, the rain Is
over and gone.

A SUIT OF PAINT.

A SUIT OF PAINT.
Writing About Clothes" in St Nicho-
las George MacAdam sketches the ped1-
gree of the full-dress of the present day
Long, long ago, he says, when mankind
was still in it's babyhood, some hairy
lord of creation happened to glance into
quiet pool and saw mirrored In the
water his own image. Comparing him
self with the birds and beasts, he saw
that he was plain and dingy, and he be-
came envious of the brilliant hued feath-
ers of the BIRDS and the striped and
spotted furs of the beasts. One day he
discovered a bed of ocher. Sticking his
finger into this bright-colored dirt, he
saw that his finger became colered like
the dirt. No doubt he stared in wonder
for long While at his strangely colored
finger; and then there gradually crept
into his simple mind an idea which must
have made him laugh for joy.
'Ha. hat he cried Here's nv
chance to give myself a new complexion
to make myself as bright and gaudy
as Mother Nature has made the birds and
the beasts"
SO he daubed himself from head to
foot with different-colored ochers until
he was bright and many-colored. This
covering Of ocher was the original ances-
tor of the clothes which you and 1 are
wearing at the present day.
PUSSY WILLOW.
In her dress of silver gray
Comes the Pussy Willow gay
Like little Eskimo,
Clad in fur from tip to toe
Underneath her, in the river
Flows the water with shiVer
Downward sweeping from the hih,
North wind whistle, loud and shrill.
Birds are 10th to wing their fight
To land in such plight.
Not another flower is found
Popping from the bark or ground.
Only Mother Willow knows
How to make such suits as those.
How to fashion them with skill,
How to guard against the chill.
Did she live once, long ago,
In the land of ice and snow?
Was it first by Polar seas
mat she made such coats as these?
Who can tell?-We only know
Where our Pussy Willows grow.
Fuzzy little friends that bring
Promise of the coming spring.
