An AIIiqator's Nest.

Alligators' nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to which
they can be compared. They average
about four feet in height and five feet
in diameter and are constructed Of
grasses and heritage. First the moth
err gator deposits one layer of eggs on
a mortar-like floor and, having COW
cred this with a stratum of mud and
heritage about eight inches thick, lays
another set of eggs upon that. and so
on to the top, there being commonly
from 100 to 200 eggs in nest. With
their tails the parents then beat down
the tall grass and weeds to prevent
the approach of unseen enemies. The
female watches her eggs until they
are Matched by the heat of the sun
and then takes her brood under her
own care, defending them and provid-
ing for their subsistence.

CheerfuIness.

Cheerfulness is the great cure. If
you are not cheerful already try to
acquire the habit. 1t will not require
much trying either. Accordingly as
one likes or dislikes beings and things
he becomes cheerful or the opposite.
The temptation to dislike animate or
inanimate objects lies in wait for
every one. Be on your guard. You
can drive it off by liking a bird or
flower.
Hate never made any man happy.
But in order to be unhappy one does
not need to be hater Simple dis
like will sour all the milk in the cocoa
nut of cheerfulness. Your choice is
not restricted. If you do not like
man or do not love a woman, why.
then. like a dog. Even a cat may be
an inspirer of cheerfulness.
Liking is sun which can make
even an iceberg nature Respondent

There are certain lace waists which are
pretty to wear to the theater or opera,
but they are not of coarse quality orna.
mented with ruffles. There are some
rather plain blouses. distinction existing
in their simplicity. which are suitable for
evenings. True, they will not attract at
tention at the first moment. but the cor

dainty toilet will demand attention, and

1t is better form for a girl TO wear a
freshly laundered plain tailored blouse,
with cloth coat and skirt. than a cheap
imitation lace; but both such waists are
extreme. The happy medium is a light
silk or other soft material, such as q girl
wears on summer afternoons for special
occasions. As theaAsr going is a special
occasion a plain tailored blouse is not
altogether good form.
If she possesses a pretty, large hat
II should be worn, but there is no reason
for feeling inadequately dressed IL she
has not that kind. A hat NAV be re-
