in the mud at the bottom Of the big
rivers in India. where he makes his
home. and just peeps his head out ia
see what is going on. Now. this fish
has n kind Of beard growing on his
lips. The hairs of the beard keep
wigglinC about in the water, and the
little fishes think that surely they are
worms. All little fishes are very
greedy. so when they see these hairs
they say to themselves: oh, here are
some fine worms: let's have n party
Up they swim and begin TO nibUle at
the hairs; but the fish who is in the
mud gobbles them up. and the little
ones do not have any party.
There is another kind OF fish who
shoots flies and little bugs He twists
his mouth until it is just ike n pop

stead of a bullet When he sees n fly
sitting on a leaf near the waters edge
he takes aim very carefully. then. pop.

the water. only 10 be eaten by the fish
who has shot him.
Still another strange fish lives in the
sea. He Is called the sucking fish.
When he sees anything he likes very
much he simply fastens himself to il
by means of a kind of plate on his
head. He is so strong that nothing
can pull him away.
The people who live near the coast
Of Africa use this fish TO catch turtles.
They tie a strong cord 70 his tail and
put him in the water near the place
where the turtle is asleep. II they go
too near the turtle will wake up and
swim away, but the sucking fisn AZ
ways catches him and holds on so hard
that the men in the boat pull in fish.

Lingerie Notes.

A pretty idea for the trimming OF a
silk nightgOwn Is q collar finished with
deep hem of contrasting shade Of
silk. Pinks, blues. mauves and yellows
are all washing colors, but good make
must be chosen In order 10 have fast
dye. Imitation Nalcncicnnes lace Is,
after ALL the best and cheapest trim
ming procurable, and il is almost i'm.
possible nowadays 10 tell the difference
between the real and the imitation.
Many OF the best nightgowns are
made like peiGnoirs. EXtravagant peo-
pie are using washing satin, while
there is n liberty satin with cashmere
back that is ideal for winter.
As for chemises silk again Is very
dainty wear. but the ordinary null
muslin or batiste is just as nice and
certainly extremely cheap. Fine linen
Is effective trimmed simply with but.
tonhole stitching. and, though the cost
Of this is fairly heavy, the wear is
endless.
Nowadays there Is no excuse for
those people who wear ugly lingerie,
for some of the prctticst models are
quite Inexpensive, though on the other
hand we can spend fortune Oh un-
derwcar if so inclined.

DON'T DREAM. BUT Do

Work in the world for the folk thereof;
With every deed that is done in love
Some crisscross matter is smoothed for

The spirit sees straight and clear;
And heaven draws close that was lar

As you whistle of each fear.
Work, for the days are feet and few.
Don't dream, but do!
You may worry over Gods grinding laws
You may probe and probe for the great

But an hour Of life with an honest thrill
OF self.forgetting JOY
Will ease your mind Of it's moody Ill
And make you blithe as boy.

SYNONYMS to Plense Guests.

A Synonymous entertainment is
one of the best means ever tried for

for removing all stiffness and formal

the hostess must make out complete

her wits TO work to devise synonym

lecting literal synonyms for the word
or it's parts rs spelled.
