Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-17

T HIS is the time of year for girl to
make ready her book of the seasons
in which to chronicle whatever she
observes of natures doings from day to
day Almost all girls nowadays are in
terested in natural history, botany or
similar subjects, and the keeping OF a
diary in which they note their own dis
coveries along these lines will immensely
enhance the value and interest of Their
school instruction in these subjects. Girls
who draw at all we'll sometimes illustrate
these books with sketches of birds or
flowers, or of the spots in which they
have seen the creatures or plants OF
which they write. If one is particularly
interested in flowers or ferns it is pleas
ant to press examples of the various
species as an illustration of ones diary
of nature.
Diaries for this sort of records are
usually rather large, although, OF COURSE
that is a matter of fancy. 1t is a rather
pretty idea to have them covered with
linen which is embroidered with flowers,
birds and leaves and with the owner s
monogram. The diary is a record of what
one finds in the way of interesting plants,
birds. &C., in ones daily walk, but, OF
course, does not offer as great an oppor-
tunity for girls who live in the large
cities as for those who live or go to
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-17

to expend. 1t must be remembered that
quality is of far greater Importance than
quantity and good bird bought from
a reliable fancier is better than any
bargain specimen. There is a decided
standard of price in birds and es-
pecially song birds, and there is no use
in purchasing a bird more cheaply than
he should rightly cost on the chance Of
his turning out well. He won't. For
tunately birds are wonderfully inexpen'
sive. A good singing canary can be
bought from 50 upward, while the most
perfect imported canaries range from $2o
to 500, and a choice goldhnch songster
can be bought for $3.50.
Among favorite cage birds which thrive
in captivity and are sure to win affection
from all who know them are the talking
East Indian mynak, which really does
talk; the piping bullfnch, which has
been taught to whistle airs from operas,
folk songs and old English ballads; the
English nightingale, the Shama thrush,
the larger whistling and singing song
thrushes and cardinals and, of course,
the canaries. Of the canaries those i'm.
ported from Germany give the best
songs, while Belgium holds out for breed
ling purely-these are the canaries of blue
bood-and England ranks foremost for
size and color.
A girl who owns neither canary nor
other bird pet should try to possess one at
once. She is missing great pleasure that
could so we'll be hers. The girl, on the
other hand, who loves her birds well can
spend a most profitable summer in study
| ing not only the family history of her
own bird but the story of all birds, from
the gorgeous hued parrot of south Amer
lea or Africa to the dainty little humming
bird which fits fairylike on almost jnT.si-
BILE wings among the roses and none,
suckle vines shading the verandas
There is one more thing to bear Ia miAa
in regard to the comfort and care The
canary. His cage should be not ogee 41ur
teen inches long nor less than ten inches
wide, and if his song is to be always up TO
the standard he must only seldom be al
lowed to fly from his cage about the room,
no matter how tame he has become
While some prefer to have their BIRDS
perfect songsters, others want him for
more of a companion, just as while all
fanciers in Germany strive only to breed
perfect singers in England size and color
are the chief ambitions.
BY leaving the door of the cage open
and by first teasing the bird with soft
feather and then tempting him with
piece of hemp seed on the end or the
finger he will soon gain confidence and
hop out upon the hand. After a time
he can be carried perched on the shoulder
from one room to another, all windows
and doors being first carefully closed.
When trained to return by a previously
arranged call or whistle bird can even
be taken with safety into the open air.
Unless a bird is i'll he is always
happy and contented, and as nothing is
so contagious as good humor girl who
wants some help to keep up her spirits
should get a little feathered songster,
whose bright chirp of welcome makes it
JOY to enter her room and whose song
will penetrate the gloom of the darkest
dav-a delight when the sun shines and
a remedy for the blues.

in her handbag or suit case. Pink or
blue linen is not expensive certainly and
can be washed times without number.
The flap of the envelope may be finished
with a scalloped border or edged with
nce fastened down by a lace or pearl
button and loop. If desired, the plain
side OF the envelope may have written
ana embroidered over it in white just
What that case is to contain-veis or
hahdkerchiets, as the case may be. Each
case, however, is of slightly different
size and shape. The handkerchief case is
the size of handkerchief doubled over
IA lour, or about five inches square. The
glove case must hold both evening and
short gloves, or must be at least ten
inches long by four inches wide. Six
inches square makes a good veil case.
ror belts an oblong case like that for
gloves, only somewhat shorter, is most
convenient, while for ties, collars, iabots.
&c, quite large oblong envelope should
be made so that the soft materials will
not be crushed.
From strip of pretty striped linen
lined with rubber sheeting an attractive
sponge bag may be made, or, if desired,
an envelope case is just as good for the
sponge and wash rag. The envelope
may be of the same linen as the rest of
the case, but, of course, lined with rubber.
If one cannot have bag with its own
fittings then there must be cases made
also for all the different toilet articles.
There should be a strip of linen or lawn
made for the bottom of the bag and an
other to fit over the top when all the
clothes are packed. The more paper that
can be done away with in packing the
more the packing is simplified Lawn or
fowered organdie edged with lace is, per-
haps, better than the heavier linen for
this purpose. Especially for travelling
abroad, when disa agreeable officials must
inspect all the baggage at every border
land, is it necessary for a trunk to be
neatly packed. No gift is so acceptable
for a friend embarking on Il European
trip as a set of these envelope cases
for the bag and six or eight tray covers
cut to fit each compartment in the top
tray and to place between the different
gowns in the lower part of the trunk.
China silk, white or colored, is extremely
pretty for this use, but the fowered or
candle answers the purpose well and is,
of course, less expensive.
A girl should take as great pride in
her baggage as in any other department
of her trousseau, and 1t is worth saving
in other directions to possess smart and
up to date trunks, hat boxes and hand
bags.

Hints for Girls Who Travel.

r HE season of visits is here again, and
the little black trunk the suit case

leather trunks known as a box, which will
hold just enough for comfort on a Friday
TO Monday visit. When she goes off just
for over night to the home of a school
friend her suit case, however, is sufficient
to hold the one evening dress and the few
things she will need
The comfort of fitted bag or suit case
is that it is always ready, with all the
little toilet articles and all the brushes and
combs, cold cream jars, &c, SO necessary
for comfort just at hand. 1t is nice, of
course, to have the fittings of silver or
gold but plain celluloid and ebony are
just as convenient and, if anything, light
er. But apart from the actual fittings
which are really part of the bag there
should always be left in the suit case
ready for use at moments notice, a
sponge bag, a small linen handkerchief
case, little case for dress protectors, a
lV-e case of prettily fowered muslin for
Il evening dress, a linen bag for the
eveling slippers and whatever other
cases girl likes to have and can make
so easily herself.
Boxes are never advisable in travelling.
The more boxes, with their stiff, awk
ward edges, that can be eliminated tn,
better Even the jewel box had best be
left at home, and whatever brooches an(
bracelets are necessary carried in little
chamois lined ribbon bag or case. 1t will
also be found more convenient to have a
separate case for each kind of article
than to try to make a bureau drawer
with one large box and put into that all
the gloves, wells, belts, handkerchiefs,
&c, that are to be taken.
Before the summer is yet here it would
be a good plan for every girl to make
for herself a set Of little envelope shaped
linen cases, to be kept for instant use

SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR 9
THE SCHOOL GIRL Y

T HE hardest part for a girl who has
not as much money as her friends have
is the knowing just where to draw the
line between economy and apparent mean
ness. Many a girl wins the epithet of
"stingy" through an overstrict conscience
which constantly urges her to hold back
and make the money that is given her go
even further than it was intended by her
parents. Many girls also lay to the excuse
of economy a meanness in little things
that is objectionable. Both standpoints,
of course, are wrong-just as wrong as
that of the girl who through false pride
always treats" and spends just as much
as her far richer companions, and all
through a fear of being looked down upon.
For the three types of girls there is Vne
rule that can apply equally-at all costs
never be mean nor over economical in
the little things. The girl who is always
borrowing stamps and never has the
right change for car fare is more sure to
become unpopular than she who commits
far more blameworthy offences. The argu-
ment that the other girl has SO much
money anyway that the five or ten cents
won't make any difference may be true
in one sense, but that other girl when she
spends her money or when she gives 1t
likes to think out the gift herself and not
have it forced upon her. "What is a two
cent stamp to herr" is all very well, but
if two cents means so much to the girl
of small allowance then the letter had
better remain unposted. Fortunately, it
takes quite number of two cent stamps
to make an appreciable hole in even the
most sparsely filled pocketbook.
If it comes to a question of something

Linen Pin Cushions.

N OUND pin cushions are just now
- considered very smart. They are
made of embroidered or lace
trimmed doilies and are not in the least
difficult unless one is sufficiently am
bilious to do ones own embroidery.
A small circular cushion that is not
very thick through is used and the dolly
is placed fiat over this. 1t should be
much larger than the cushion, so that
the edge extends beyond the cushion all
around. The dolly is double, the under
side being plain; this under side is open
in the middle and fastened together with
buttons and buttonholes.
The cushion can thus be slipped in and
out readily when the cover is to be laun-
dered.

OF greatest importance is it to keep a
bird away from the window and not in the
full glow of the sunshine; yet this is
point seldom known. First, there is the
danger of the draught, which is the
greatest of all enemies, and next the
effect of the sunshine overstimulates him
and his song grows loud and shrin in
stead of soft and sweet. At dusk the bird
should be put snugly to bed by covering

stant little generosities that she can prac-

and popularity in the long run than any
amount of fun indulged in alone. She
may prefer to spend her extra money on
some few things for herself-new gowns,
opera tickets, books or whatever appeals
most to her-and keep separate just what
money she needs to do everything on the
exact scale of her classmates. In one
way this may be a fine intention, but it

not give poorer friend the pleasure of
frequent trips in that car for fear of
being thought proud of showing off her
worldly possessions, has either a very
wrong point of view herself or has a
strangely low estimate of her friends
character. No right thinking girl, no
matter how money poor she may be, is
really envious; nor when it came to the
point would she be willing to wholly and
entirely take the place of any one. The
average girl lives up to, even If she does

mage and his charming song render him

The goldfnch is clever, too, and quickly
learns several tricks which he himself
seems to enjoy to the full. The finch
family is large one, but every member
of it is a thing of beauty, from the ex-
quisite little Lady Gould Finch to the
seemingly jewel studded African fnches
and Japanese nuns. Gray, turquoise,
crimson, ruby, emerald, maltese, rich
reddish brown, wine color, cinnamon,
orange, delicate fawn, these are but a
small number of their hues, and added
to these there are the white Chinese finch
and the coal black Cuba finch. A large
cage of the tiny finches will afford amuse-
ment to the watcher for hours at time.

ones whole estate, personality, charac-

make up the life of an individual lin
other words, the "ego'o, would after all
not be worth while.
A girl who has to live close to poverty
finds it harder to understand and to forgive
the overcareful guarding of money than
the reckless spending of it. That one who
has five or ten times as much as her friend
will allow the poorer one to always stand
the treats and pay the car fares seems far
more incomprehensible than if she were
continually given to widest extravaganza.
On the other hand, this first girl, who has
been forced to keep track of every penny
spent and to whom each penny does mean
something, must realize that the other can
not understand this side of the question at
all. This is the explanation for those
girls who, although extraordinarily gen.
erous in their gifts, are also curiously
small in little ways.
The value of money is hard thing for
some girls to acquire Many never attain
it, others are born with it, others again
only reach the goal after a long struggle
in trying to make both ends meet There
is lesson for every girl to learn in regard
to money, and the sooner it is understood
the better for her.
She who knows she is economical must
take heed she grow not careful to the
point of meanness. If this one has little
the task is easier for her, but if she has
much she must strive, as against the
plague, to keep from miserliness. She,
however, who must always spend what
others spend and give what others give
must work diligently for sense of pro-
portion in her spending, and must never
let pride alone govern an act of generosity.
But in money, blessed to relate, 1t Is
the little we'll spent which counts. The
little saved often does more harm than
good, but the little given for others will
often start a good that will In time en-
