Mere Man Should Be Tolerated.

Editor Social Corner; I think that you are right in the opinion that the Social Corner is calling out some bright letter. writers. I have been pleased and edified by the sentiments voiced in the Corner. I Nike the style of Merry Martha. Experience Home spun. Arethusa, and others whose pen names I do not recall. It is so helpful and so social and sweet spirited that I enjoy most of the letters. It is a good plan to let "a mere man" contri- bute when he feels like it. for with men as with women, some are wise and some are otherwise. It takes an experienced and warm hearted man to talk sensiby about feminine affairs. The way of the male is too often the way of ridicule. When the Johns talk right I enjoy their criticisms. I hope that they will keep at it.

three other birds to their aid, and then the ''gude mon". He went to this side of the little pine. but could not see anything, even a nest; at his approach the birds flew d short distance away, but the robins from their retreat con- tinued their lamentations. When we started for the crest of the hill l thought I would investigate and find the nest and the trouble, if possible. I started to push into the pine boughs from the opposite side when my cry brought the 'gude mon" quickly to my aid, for there swinging down branch by branch was big spotted adder with a baby robin in his mouth. A stout whip soon put an end to that home destroyer, but too late to save poor baby robin. As we walked slow ly up the hill Father Robin ceased his mourning, and when last seen had d. worm ready to take to the remainder of his family. Brave little fellow.
