 THAN WEALTHY PEOPLE

New York, Feb. S-raking up the cause of the striking girl garment workers Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, one of the real social leaders of Gotham, to- day, served notice on her friends that she was ready to accept and distribute donations to relieve the suffering caused by the long struggle. Mrs. Fish, in explaining her interest in the strikers, made the declaration that if they only could be brought to realize it, the working girls were far hap pier than wealthy people.
 'FThey do not realize" she said, s'that we too have our unhappin ess. Just because we wear a few jewels they envy us when in most instances they are far happier than we. We have many things to bear of which they do not dream. For instance. snobbish chauffeurs and boresome so- ciety people. I sometimes think that I will have to do all the talking for my guests they are so bored they dislike even speaking"
 Mrs. Fish did not say specifically which she considered the greater un- happiness- -snobbish chauffeurS or lack of food and clothing.

MAGPIE INVENTS NEW GAME
TantaIIzes Little FIycatcher by Hold
Ing Tempting Morsei In Mouth
While Dancing About.

A young magpie came into the pos
session of Mr.. e. ]. Banfield. who, in
his book, my Tropic Isle" gives an
interesting account Of the birds ac-
complishments. 1t went In and out of
the kitchen at will. and If by chance
food was not spread out at the ac-
customed place, 1t protested loudly,
and always effectively.
The bird spent many hours endeav-
oring to sing. No cultured relative
was present to teach the notes Of its
kind, so that In default 1t learned the
complete vocabulary Of the domestic
poultry, besides the more familiar
calls and exclamations Of its mistress.
A white-eared fycatcher took up its
abode near the house, and the magpie,
after decent lapse of time, admitted
the stranger to its companionship.
The wild. larderless bird. however.
had little time to play. All its wits
and energies were devoted to the Sc
rious business of life. 1t knew none
of the games that the magpie invented
except one-a kind of aerial "peep-bo,"
to which the more intelligent bird
lured 1t by means of a prize.
The magpie found moth, big Of
abdomen, fat and brown. a tempting
morsel to any insectivorous bird. En-
vious Of the dainty, the wagtail fut-
tered and skipped about the magpie
with cheerful chatter; but the flutter-
ing moth, daintily held by the extrem-
ity of Its body, was alternately pre-
sented and denied While they danced
about bush the magpie tantalizingly
held the moth for acceptance, and
hoped of as the wagtail was about
to snatch 1t. To the tame bird, forti-
fed by the knowledge that its meals
were provided, 1t was all fun. To the
hungry wild one, the moth dangling
temptingly before 1t and whipped dis
appointingly away, 1t was a game
equally sincere, but Of varied interest.
The one assumed a whimsical air,
chuckling in encouraging tones; the
other took 1t all In earnest.
At last, unable to restrain an ex-
clamation Of delight, the magpie un-
warily slackened its hold, and the
moth futtered off, to be snapped up
on the instant by the wild bird and
gulped without ceremony.
