HELPED OUT THE BIRDS.
Car Sidetracked From Railroad Train
For Nesting Robins.

Admiration for the gameness of a
pair of robins in sticking to their nest
on flying trip between Hamilton,
Ont, and Buffalo has resulted in a
car being taken out of the train and
sidetracked for their benefit until
their young are ready to shift for
themselves.
Partolman Mooney noticed the
nest behind the top rung of a brake
ladder on an empty car that came
over the International bridge. When
the train came to a standstilI he
climbed up to investigate Before he
reached the top a pair of robbins
were fluttering around and making
a great ado. There were four eggs
in the nest.
Railroad men, who became as in
terested as the policeman, managed
to find something wrong with the
brakes, and the car was put on a
dead siding, where it will be allowed
to remain until the birds get through
with it.

White Collar and CUFFS for Girl.

Nothing is daintier for the small
girls school frock than spotless col
lars and cuffs of white linen. These
collars are of the popular rundown
variety which may be bought in the
stores, of plain starched white linen
with cuffs to match.
But much finer sets can be made at
home out of the handkerchief linen
with simple buttonhole edge and
they are much smarter than the ready
made eton and Byron collars of the
stores.
The cuffs are the most important
garniture. for it is a labor of love to
keep snowy cuffs on the little sleeves
which seem to rub all the soil on the
school desks, but these white aces
series are so charming that the
