That birds of the family termed surf birds in the Hawaiian Islands should leave that paradise of the Pacific to go and rear their young in the tundras of Alaska would seem to many an extra" ordinary proceeding. Yet the turnstone and the black-bellied blower and the Pacific golden blower make the long journey of about 4,000 miles thither an- nually.

Don't Befray Condolences

How few people there are who know

They frequently forget the funda-

What a valuable point TO have in
your reputation, that you are a per-
feotly safe person to whom to intrust

Old Ribbons and Silks

worn silk blouse can be made useful

strips and sewed together. the silks
can be woven into portieres, table
covers, mats or anything of that order
When the ribbon is very soiled 1t can
be dyed before being sewed up. 1t is
quite wonderful what the weaving does

ribbons do not need to be of the same
quality or the same width-satin, vel

It is truly china closet, II is also
something much more than this. Per-
