A happy young matron, exchanging

ship. her husband was "a bird" She
was using slang, but she was putting
the case better than she expected.
Birds are skillful and accomplished
wooers, and the males of all species
show themselves to the best Of their
abilities when seeking to mate. Some
of them are grotesque and bizarre and
perform clownish and absurd antics
during courtship, while others are ex-
tceedingly graceful in their gentle en-
deavors to gain mates.

As He Wanted II

OF the latest and most aggressive

himself to well-known country place
near London, this story is being told:
The servants, who had been taken
over with the place." did not take
kindly to the new regime, and grew
slack and careless about their duties.
One day, while big shooting lunch
was in progress, one Of the many
men-seryants in attendance hurried
up TO his master with card. saying
the owner wished to see him imme-
diately. The nouYeau richie was fu-
rious to note the fellow had merely
handed him the card, instead of pre-
senting 1t on a tray.
Look 'ere!" he called out, angriIy,

that they may witness the agility and
gracefulness of their would-be suitors.
The males will then enter the arena,
holding their heads far back among
their trailing wings, and, spreading
their tails to the fullest extent and
holding their legs perfectly stiff, will
jump awkwardly about the ring, or,
folding their wings and tails, and
stretching out their wings as far as
possible they will run at full speed
around the improvised ballroom; or,
standing in the center of the square,
they will elevate their tails, lower
their heads, and beat the ground with
their feet. Every now and then they
will utter the most discordant shrieks
and yells, doubtless very pleasing to
the peafowl ears, but Enthusiastically
disagTeea0le TO our own.

In this box several telephone wires
