In Bronx and Prospect Parks and over in Richmond Borough,
and out from the city suburbs in any di~rection-uncs, possibly, in
that of Montclair, n. J, where shooting up tho nests at night is the
reasonable sport-it is worth while during the next two months to
wander observantly, and be your own Audubon.
The thruhes and wood warblers remain. Kingfshers haunt the
shores. Amid sombre cednrs and sumacs tipped with flame, the cedar
birds fit, where plums and berries ire plentiful: Robins are after
dried wild cherries yet. Some vouble catbirds are still about. 1t
may be only fancy, but they seem to shun the dogwood trees. Not
so the bluebrds-thc scarlet berries must look good to them, for they
often perch on the picturesque boughs that in May were %snowdrifts,

Bank swallows lease is almost up on cavedwellings in sandy
slopes or under beeting cliffs. Swallows are strung along the tele-
graph wires a though expecting a message from Dixie. Bobolinks
and pcwees, vireos and wrens, thrashers, grnckles. rcd-winged black
birds and purple fnches, redstarts, the busy w~oodpecker and the
small white-breasted nuthatch, all are on the job. Maybe even a
scarlet tanagcr is rushing the season.

He will be lucky if he escapes two tax bills, one from each munich

Awkward as is this Jerseymans dilemma, it is as nothing com
pared with the awful situation Of thousands of men and women who
dwell on a moral boundary line. They are continually on the fence
between duty and c~xpcdiency, and make a muddle of the most sacred
and momentous concerns of life.
Here is a sad case in the papers to-day. A woman who saws she
il by nature pagan, Greek, emotional and radical, is chained in we'd
lock to a man with a "strict, ascctc, Tebrac temperament" who is
an Essential monogamist," and they have a ten year-old son.
Now the time has come when the wife is impcled by soul hunger
to put into practical operation the abstract socaistic theories
which her husband busies himself with exploiting intellectually
for, though a conservative by instinct and nature, he is a rip
roaring radical by choice and circumstance. She is out after an
ideal mate, and he is suing for a divorce. Mothcr-inlaw, mean
while, holds the fort at the community bungalow, and looks after the
child.
The pair have one thing in common, and that is hatred of nub.
Hcty. And yet, innsmuch as publicity is their bread and butter, not
to say their very breath Of life, You can easily see what a cruel posi-
ton they are placed in.
