forms the sixth dealing with the re-
suits of the Smithsonian biological sur.
vey of the Panama one
Among interesting birds collected
by Mr.. Goldman, while engaged on
this survey, there are two new spe-
cies of nun birds. These are described
by E. w. Nelson of the department Of
Agriculture, biological survey, in a
pamphlet Smithsonian miscellaneous
collections, No. 2070), published by
the Smithsonian institute, which forms
the seventh paper on the results Of
this survey.
The III birds. OF genus Monasa, are
so called from the somber black or
slaty plumage, which, however. is
somewhat relieved by the bright red
or yellow bill, and in some cases
white feathers at the bend OF the
wing and about the bill.
The specimens were collected by
Mr.. Goldman on the base OF Cerro
! Azul, northwest Of Chepo. Only single
specimens of the two new forms were
| obtained, and, in fact, no others were
| seen during the entire season in the
| canal zone and the adjacent cOun'
try.

WELLS ARE OF MANY KINDS
Fringed Style is to Be Worn, PrincI-
pally on Account of Its Newness-
Other Dainty Designs.

1t is not probable that a great many
women will care to wear fringed wells,
but their newness and uniqueness Will
very likely appeal to the woman in
search of something different. In the
same class come wells with the design
omitted where the veil fits over the
face-and this at least has a certain
common sense point 10 commend it,
for it is surely less trying TO the
eyes.
The very flmy, cobwebby meshed
wells seem quite springlike, and these
are usually quite becoming. The fine,
closely woven ones are very pretty.
Sometimes they nave chenille dots to
vary the monotony of the weaves and
the dot may be a tiny, pinlike affair,
or one the size of your little finger
nail.
Black lace wells with flower designs
are very dainty. The background is
usually quite iilmy and sheer, with
the floral design standing out more
boldly. Filet lace wells are also new
and fashionable.
And did you know that you could
Judge the becomingness of a veil by
trying the meshes over your arm, just
above the wrist?
