How the Birds Dress.

AS bird fashions do not change, the
lady birds of to-day wear the same
kind OF dresses their grandmothers
wore and are not troubled about
styles.
Two suits a year are quite enough
for most birds, but they need to take
great care of them.
Each separate feather must be
cleaned and looked over and the use
less ones pulled out.
You have seen a canary preening
his feathers by lifting them and
smoothing them out with his bill, and
you may have thought him vain to do
this so often.
But necessity and not vanity is the
cause OF his frequent dressings.
II you neglect to comb your hair

The Oasis. which Is published at No
galos and caters 10 the somewhat over
refined dwellers on the border OF Ari-
zona and the state Of Sonora, Mexico,
says:
"A Newport dude has introduced the
fashion for men OF carrying small
chatelalne bags to hold the various ar
ticles with which they usually burden
their pockets. II Is a most sensible
idea. and II is TO be hoped that the
style will be generally adopted. Al
present man carries a load Of pock-
etbooks, papers, notebooks, letters,
etc, pulling his clothing all out Of
shape and inconyenienclng himself
generally. The new chatelaine bag
will AFFORD handy receptacle for all
these things, not half 80 uncomfort-
able or inconvenient as the present
multiplicity OF pockets"
Strangely enough. the Oasis omits
to state that a Chatelalne might on oc-
caslon perform a useful Office 10 stop.
