times cruelty kill frogs and other
harmless creatures.
The shrike gets the common
name butcher bird" from his
habit of hanging dead birds and
mice on trees. When he has more
fresh meat than he can STOW away
he simply hangs up the extra car
cases. If you ever see a dead
mouse or a dead bird hanging
from a thornapple spike or from
a sharp hook of a briar, you may
be sure butcher bird has hung IL
there.
Sometimes the bird comes back
and eats the bird or mouse he has
hung up. sometimes he doesn't.
The shrike is pretty good citi-
zen for all his bloody ways. He
kills more mice than birds, and
besides kills lots of grasshoppers,
beetles and other insects in the
north where he spends his sum-
mers. And he thinks nothing of
killing half dozen pestiferous
English sparrows IN half a day.
Tomorrow we shall learn some
thing about bird masons and ce-
ment workers.

sHRIKE, OR BUTCHER BIRD

We are pretty safe in saying
that this fellow is a nonunion
butcher. He has the unsociable
air of born "scab" seems to
have crouch on all creation.
When other birds see the butcher
bird coming they get out of the
way as fast as they can, for the
butcher bird not only kills little
birds, mice and insects when he is
hungry, but also when he is not.
Those that he can't, eat right
away he hangs up to serve for a
rainy day.
The northern shrike, as the
butcher bird is commonly called in
books, is a blush ash bird with
black wings and tail. about the
size of robin. He spends his
Summers in Canada and his win
tiers in northern United States. He
isn't classed as a bird of prey, but
there isn't hawk or an owl that
can hold a candle to him when 1t
comes to killing things. Some peo-
pie think he kills things just for
the fun of it-as little boys some

CYNTHIA oREY's COLUMN rs OPEN TO
EVERY READER OF THE TIMES; IF YOU
ARE IN TROUBLE, TELL HERrABOUT 1T
For the "Sweet Girl Graduate"
By Cynthia Grey.

Here's her graduating gown and
wrap and hat. The sweet girl
graduate is all of a tremble at the
very thoughts of her coming
grandeur.
She knows that fashions never
were SO favorable for her to look
her best, and at the same time live
up to the popular idea of the
"sweet and simple" styles for
graduating day.
This dainty little frock may be
made up in cotton yoile, handker-
chief linen, batiste, marquisette,
organdie or fine lawn-all OF
which materials are fashionable
this spring.
The neck is low, the sleeves are
short and the frock is made in one
piece. The popular heavy en-
broidery is used, combined with
German val lace. The tucks are
i1dnu-Tuu, ana ou Inc iiOuhCS luSy
are shirred to form the fullness.
The sash OF soft ribbon is laid
in folds about the waist and tied
in the outstanding butterfly bow in
the center of the back, with ends
that hang to the hem of the skirt.
1t is we'll to note the perfect
simplicity of the couture. and the
fact that the hands are bare of
gloves.
The Frenchy wrap is made of
loosely worn black chiffon, braid
ed in heavy design on the enor-
nous sailor collar, the broad
cuffs, down the seams and flap in
front and over the wide hem. 1t
is most effective over the white
gown.
Rough soft black straw braid is
the material of the "floppy"
broad-brimmed hat, and it is trim
med with soft flat loops of satin
ribbon on the crown, which is sur
rounded by wreath of foliage
and tiny satin flowers. The hat
has a narrow facing of satin.

Will you kindly print aNrecipe

Ia of the oranges. Cut all of the
fruit in halves, take out the pulp
and free it from the seeds. Drain
off all the juice possible, mix 1t
with the sugar, let it come to a
boil, skim and simmer 1t for Is
minutes. Add to it the pulp and
grated rind, and boil Is minutes
longer. Seal in jelly jars.

very much astonished and shocked
were you to greet her with more
than cordial handshake.
