PRUDENCE
of PEGGY
BY Ethel Darlington
COPYRIGHT. 1904. by Ethel harrington

Peggy dwelt with her maiden aunt
She had been brought up so lrreproach-
ably that her prudence passed into a
proverb among her friends.
Peggy walked circumspectly through
a careless world. So correct was she
that her mere presence was the stamp
of propriety. and had she been little
older she could have Sdetracked all the
young matrons as chaperons. Peggy
represented the phenomenon of an old
head on young shoulders. She looked
ahead and was never taken at a disad-
vantage.
Old maids children are proverbially
fiawless. Her aunt expected Peggy to
love with discrimination and marry
wisely. fitting crown to so exemplary
a girlhood, but the appearance of

She moved her stool back and slipped

Dancing Birds.

Sailors visiting the island Of Laysan,
In the Hawaiian group, are greatly
amused by the curious antics of the
Laysan albatross, or gony. These birds
sometimes perform in pairs kind of
dance, or, as the sailors call it, "cake
walk" Two albatrosses approach each
other, nodding and making profound
bows, cross their bills, produce snap
ping and groaning sounds, rise on their
toes, puff out their breasts and finally
part with more nodding and bowling,
only to come together again and repeat
the performance. Occasionally three
engage at once in this singular amuse-
ment.
