Lnnr Tnllch Fo,,Ir.

There is Il spccm breed Of fowl in
japan with tnIlS varying from ten to
twelve feet iii length. The breed is
about century old and the extraor-
binary development OF the tail was due
to the action Of Japanese prince His
crest was a feather, and he offered an
annual prize to the subject who could
bring the longest feather pluckcd from
ain ordinary fowl. AS result the pco
pie began to select birds and cross
breed them. and in time the immens"
length Of twelve feet was attained
The tail feathers grow at the rate Of
from four to seven inches month and
continue ut this rate for two years.
After that period they increase verv
slightly. although there is really an
increase in length SO long ns the bird
lives. which is usually eight or ten
yCars. The hens sit on Il fiat perch all
day and are not allowed to move about
Once in two days they are taken for n
walk for half nm hour, attended by IL
man who holds up the tail SO that the
feather shall not be soilcd or injured.
The tail feathers are occasionally
washed. the bird being placed on the
roof Of a hut that the feathers may
dry The hens iay ahout thirty cggs
during the summer and autumn, which
are hatched by other birds.

Dear Glrlle-To think that Just one year
ago you and were having such times
here together and now you are actually
working in noisy. dusty New York! Per-
haps you are somewhat consoled by the
fact that every one thinks you tremen-
dously clever and good to help your ia
Their in his hour of trouble, but should
think. my dear. that business and all that
sort OF thing would be such bore to q
woman.
OF course you want to know about ev-
erythlng and everybody. Well its the
same old place and very nearly the same
old crowd, particularly the men. who are
distressingly few and far between. You
remember that stupid little Jimmy Bar
ton we enjoyed snubbing last season?
Hes quite the go this year. Even the
shape OF his nose has changed bit. and
he has a perfect love OF an automobile.
I've had several spins with him already.

says that he cannot take his vacation this
