Chum With Your Opposite.

1t Is fine idea for the business girl
to chum with her opposite. If you are
inordinately inclined TO gayety or lazi-
ness a serious, intellectual friend will
tone you up.
II you need toning down in the way
OF nerves and a too strenuous ambi-
ton find a friend who loves physical
exercise. jokes. dressmaking and
housekeeping.
If you are natural born anchorits
try to hobnob with the girl who gives
another angie.
That's the sensible way to lower the

Thanksgiving Day.


Over the river and through the WOOD
To grandfather's house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the wood
Oh, how the wind does blow!
1t stings the toes
And bites the nose
AS over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the wood
To have a first rate play.
Hear the bells ring.
Ting ling ding"
Hurrah for Thanksgiving day!
Over the river and through the wood
Trot fast. my dapple gray.
Spring Ger the ground
Like a hunting hound.
For this is Thanksgiving day.
Over the river and through the wood
And straight through the barnysre
gate.
We seem TO go
Extremely slow
1t is so hard to wait,
Over the river and through the wood
Now GRANDMOTHER cap spyi
Hurrah for the fun,
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

Flying Squirrels
and Aeroplanes.

Modern inventors have been fairly
successful with the aeroplane. but for
a long time two little animals have
used a similar principle In their sue
cessful flights. The flying squirrel and
the flying fish sail through the air and
rise and fall on an aerOplane of ma
lures invention.
Our common flying squirrel. with its
thin, winglike membrane stretched
tightly between the extended legs, 10
a typical aeroplane. Thoreau in speak.
ing OF such squirrel says: TT sprang
from a maple at height Of twenty
eight and one-half feet from the ground
and landed easily and lightly on the
ground at the foot OF another tree fifty
and one-half feet away. Its flight was
not n regular descent. 1t varied from
a straight line both horizontally and
vertically. 1t skinned much like n
hawk, and part Of its flight was nearly
horizontal. There were six trees from
six inches 10 a foot in diameter be
tween the beginning and the ending
Of its flight, and these it skinned part
ly round and passed through their
thinner twigs. 1t did not, as l could
perceive, to1ch single twig" Other
observers have seen crowds OF these
little creatures in similar sportive'gam-
bols which seem 60 have no other OBJ
ject than playfulness or the mere pleas
