Diving Birds.

Water birds which are ordinarily
able to float high on the water can
also sink at will by e1pelling the air
which Is inclosed within the film of
feathers surrounding their bodies. thus
making them heavier than water. This
mechanical trick on the part Of div
ing birds is probably familiar to all
who have watched the kinghsher at
close quarters and have noted the sud
den contraction in the birds apparent
size as 1T takes the plunge This is
much more easily observed in the case
of the starting. which sometimes imi-
tates the kingtisher by plunging into

whose curiosity was aroused by the
invitations-four large tags tied to-
gether with orange and black ribbon.
Each card pore a verse and the name
of the girl who was to open her house.
The first tag was decorated with the
silhouette of a witch on a broom-stick.
The verse read:

Come to my house and don't be late.
From an old witch your fate you'll

Unless you're prompt you'll get no

At the appointed place and hour the
young folks gathered. The "old witch"
was the hostess in gown, cape and
pointed hat of black, her hair powdered
heavily and hanging in loose gray
locks over her shoulders. Her den was
a small dimly lighted room. A black
kettle hung from a tripod over a bed of
glowing GOALS, made by electric light
bulbs in loosely piled twigs n or

weird monotone:

For the Eyebrows and Hair

and apply 1t with a tiny canlels hair
brush. Be sure that the lotion does

Egg does not make the hair fluffy
but on the contrary 1t has a tendency
to make it oily. 1t is recommended as
a shampoo. out do not use 1t IL yool
hair contains much oil. This is The was
to apply it: Beat the egg until K is
very light and frothy. Then rub 1t or

teen minutes before shampo9ing tho
