Tree road,s Change of coIors.

Tree OGQ OIdn90 OF NobOTSs
A correspondent of Farm and Fire
side has the following to say about
tree toadS:
when boy the writer often read Of
a wonderful animal, called a chame-
leon. which was said to have the power
of taking the color of the object by
which it was surrounded. But he
never saw a chameleon and always felt
a little Thomas like in regard to its
existence. However. he has since
learned that there is an animal that
has some of the powers attributed to
the chameleon. That is the tree toad.
Its life history is similar to that Of
the toads and frogs in the early stages.
ITO show these various changes we
took one that was found on an old
board and placed it in white pitcher.
When placed in it the toad was dingy
brown, but after a few hours in the
pitcher it was white with a slight
creamy tint and with few pale brown
dots. On being placed in d window be-
side some green moss it soon took that
color Make the experiment of putting
one in various colored locations and see
the changes. You will be greatly inter-
ested"

u Your Hands Quiet.

The <14l Dis of some people seem to
have acquii ed the secret Of perpetual
motion. A girl who has this fault
should set about conquering it i'm
mediately if she does not want to do
damage to the nerves of those who
have to be with her and wreck her
own. The instant she realizes that
she is pulling at her hair combs, or
collar. or giving her belt a vicious jab,
let her stop and hold her hands fixed
in her lap. no matter what effort it
requires.
Look about in the theater, or tea
room. or street car. Hardly a girl has
her hands in repcse. Most are Juggling
at some article of dress as they talk,
of a companion.
The manager of an Office where there
are many girls had to put up notice

her desk when they came to speak to

a report would pick up pencil and

ter. The next hooked paper clips to-
gether, making long chain that the
manager had the work Of unlocking;
another tapped the desk with pencil
during her conversation. In short,
scarcely a girl came and stood beside
the desk with quiet hands.

Royal princes look very much like
ordinary folks when you don't know
who they are. The boy in the picture
is Prince Henry of England, third son
Of King George V. The prince is in
his fourteenth year and, like all the
children of the English ruler, he has
been trained in common sense way.
Queen Mary is rather strict disciplin-
arian and her boys are brought up
much as are other English boys of good
social standing. When Prince Henry
was snapped by the camera man he
was tramping with his brother, Prince
George, who is two years younger. The
picture was taken in the hills of Wales.

Points in Wedding Etiquette.

With the exception Of May, which is
considered an unlucky month. and
Lent, the quiet season, there is no time
of the year when wedding ceremonies
are not constantly taking place.
AS might be expected. the prepare
tons for wedding take up not little
time and foreth 0ught There are 80
many small details to be considered,
various minor points of etiquette to
notice, and a hundred and one things
to remember If the actual day is to be
gone through by all concerned without
hitch or inconvenience.
The magnifcence or simplicity Of the
ceremony depends, Of course, on the
worldly position of the bride and bride
groom, though certainly the present
day tendency is toward rather dis
proportionate display, as every year
presents become more numerous and
| costly, the brides trousseau more elab-
crate, while immense sums are expend-
ed on decorations. catering and such
| like items.
The popular fashion of white satin
and orange blossoms for the brides
attire still holds it's own, though there
are occasional innovations made such
as the wearing of gold or silver bro
| cade and touches of color on the train,
while quite recently, instead Of the
usual white bouquet or sheaf Of lilies,
| the bride carried a great bunch Of
| crimson roses.
| For winter weddings muffs Of fur,
lace and chiffon have replaced the
flowers, or sometimes prayer book
bound in white and silver
The invitations are sent out full
three or four weeks beforehand in the
name Of the brides parents, the bride
groom supplying a list of those of his
own friends whom he wishes invited.
AS regards the bouquets, those of
the bride, bridesmaids and brides
mother are supplied by the bridegroom,
who also pays all fees connected with
the ceremony.
The cost of the reception and the
carriages for taking the bride and
guests to church are provided by the
brides parents, but the bridegroom
pays for the carriage or motorcar tt
the station after the reception.

rect for a widow to be followed by
bridesmaids on the occasion of her sec
ond marriage, but this rule is often
broken. Sometimes, however, the Gus.
tom of "matron of honor" is followed
instead.
The number of bridesmaids varies
! considerably, four to six being most
usual. but two, ten or twelve, or in
their place several small children, are

AS soon as the trash In the garden
gets dry enough it will be good idea
to rake it up and burn it. This will
destroy a good many weed seeds and
will also expose to the action Of the
elements and to the birds and poultry

another. If the garden has not been
plowed in the fall for some time it
would be well to plow it. This will
get rid of a good many more insect
