THE WORD "TAWDRY. J"
where We Get 1t and what 1t Meant
Originally.


The word "tawdry," spelt In John
sons Dictionary "stawdrey," is a cor
fuption Of St Audrey, or st. Ethel
reda, In whose honor fair was held
In East Anglia on Oct II. The word
was originally used Of necklace
bought at that fair, often made of
white pebbles, as Drayton writes:
Not the smallest beck
But with white pebbles makes her taw-
drys for her neck.
Originally THIS word did not necessa-
rily imply shabby splendor, for Shake
speare in sThA Winters Tale" has;
Come, you Il nised me a tawdry lace
and pair Of sweet gloves" Since his
day the word has long lost its better
meaning and now stands for things
gaudy, in poor taste and Of little value.
Others say that st. Audrey died Of q
swelling in the throat, which she con-
sidered special Judgment for wearing
a. necklace, and that from this legend
such ornaments were connected with
her name and later took on its worse
meaning London Telegraph.

AN IDEAL FISH.

Mohawk Clubs Are Graceful, Slim
and Elegant Creatures.
There are In some clear, cold streams
of the north certain fish known locally
as Mohawk chubs." These fish are
the ideal fish in shape and color grace
full, slim, elegant creatures, pure silver
except on the dorsal ridge, which is the
tint Of oxidized silver They are ten
der mouthed and remind me somewhat
of the grayling, although they have not
the great dorsal fin nor the fragile
mouth of that fish. They often inhabit
trout waters, and hive an idea that
trout feed on the smaller ones, al
though have no absolute proof that
this is true. | know, however. that
pickerel, muskellunge and black bass
strike at them eagerly.
These fish rise to fly and are often
quite as gamy as grayling. Often and
often / have struck them In trout wa
ters and have found them interesting
fighters when tackle is light and water
cold and swift.
Animals and birds appear to be very
fond of them, or at least are often seen
eating them, perhaps because they may
be easier to catch than trout. Where
Mohawk chubs are. herons and king
fishers congregate The only time /
ever saw an osprey in that region was
once when whipping that stream. The
osprey dashed down within rod of
me and seized a Mohawk club that
must have weighed pound at least,
bearing him up out Of the pool and
away across acres Of swamp toward
the distant forest Robert w. Cham

BUCHAREST.


The Capital of Roumanin Is Sort
of Miniature Paradise.
Though all Bucharest is modern, we
find the old eastern methods of mer-
camille construction-little open cup
boards lining the road. dealers squat
ting among their wares, literally at the
receipt of custom, for they make no
effort to invite it, and the various
trades huddle together. here an armory
of rude pottery, richest green and rich
est red; there an arsenal of thick
leathern sandals, a heavy patch OF
burnt TIMBER: yonuer an avenue Of
black sheepskin caps set out upon brass
stands, in appearance like peasants
heads after a massacre. Out in the
streets are high hillocks OF golden
grain, pyramids of pumpkins and blaz-
ing piles of scarlet chillies. At inter
walls little congregations wait with
laughing philosophy until they shall
be hired-builders with their hods, la
borers with their spades, all with the
embIems of their toll Bucharest may
be summed up as a city Of pleasures
and palaces, metropolis of perpetual
carnival, temple Of boisterous jovial-
ity. Her engaging people combine the
color, the grace and the hospitable In
stincts of the east with the comfort
and convenience of the west, Every
instant spent among them yields a
quintessence Of life and joy and
warmth and color. A small Paris in
deedY Nay; tits a little paradise. Her
