THE BEST CHRISTMAS TREE.

The balsam fir makes the best
Christmas tree because of its
regular form and beautiful dark
green foliage. Spruce is used
also. but is net as attractive in
form and color as balsam. Hem
lock. pine and cedars are used
occasionally. but are not consid-
cred equal to either the fir or the
spruce. Every one interested
should try to prevent clear cut
) ting. but should favor thinning
of the young forest, leaving the
best formed. most rapid grow
ing trees on the ground to form
the future forest. The trimmings
should be made in the densest
young stands only. and no large,
open spaces should be left. The
state will suffer a great loss If
the young spruce and fir forests
are clear cut for Christmas trees.
Where the forest Is under ra-
tional methods of management
, the Christmas tree is legiti-
mate byproduct in the develop
) ment of the forest. Whether. the
forest is planted or starts nat
urally from seed there will usu-
ally be many more trees on the
ground than soil and moisture

opment of the trees justify Ii

nevertheless, and l am sure Mol

She was only thinking of a

idea she might have found her.

because her mother went on the

Mollie's steps were heard coming
down the hall, You know you
promised to let me run this"
"All right" answered Dick a
little obviously, as Mollie opened
the door and looked up and down
the street. She gave a sigh of
relief. Evidently she had not
heard the motor and thought we
did not know of her intended
escapade.

asked Dick, as Mollie's would-be
dinner escort ran down the steps.
81 am not going to think" l
answered, until Mollie explains
it to me-"
well, she'll have to do some
pretty tall explaining to make it
all right with me. and she'll have
to do 1t mighty quick. The idea
of her making an engagement
with Will Hattersly and then ex-
pect to come home to an empty
house and let herself in with a

as he said this. He was SO sur
prised and angry.
Now, dick" | xpostulated,
"if you begin in that tone with
Mollie she won't tell you any
thing. Let's not say one word to
her when she comes down, take
her to dinner with us and give
her a good time. Then tomorrow
morning after you have gone to
the office | am sure she will tell
me all about it."
"She lied about telephoning
you," affirmed Dick.
II am not so sure, because l
was out all the afternoon.
"You did not tell me you were
going" he said, suspiciously. Poor
chap! l could see he felt that,
with both his sister and his wife
keeping things from him his lit
tie domestic hearth was crum-
bling.

going out, dear, because L did not
want to trouble you. 1 visited

Instantly Dick put his arm
about me.
Dear Margie. why didn't you
tell me? I've been cross with
you all day and you have been
carrying sad memories. Perhaps
you would rather go home now. !"

thing has happened for the best,
for If we had gotten your people
by telephone we would not have
found out this mischievous in

She'll have to get over these
kind of inclinations," said Dick,
brought back to the present pre-
dicament by my mention of Mol
lie.

Mollie here without first being
absolutely sure she was in our

attractive wigs of heliotrope and

also considered especially en-
gaging by those who delight in

Wigs of this style come in checks,

dilettantes in dress consider them
extremely bourgeois, suggesting.

mother of the chick is the
hen that lays the egg, for a
hen can set on and hatch
any kind of an egg.
Would a hen be the moth
er of a turkey. or duck. or
an incubator be the mother
of chick Matched by it?
INTERESTED.
Dear Miss Grey: think
the hen that lays the egg il
she matches the same egg is
the mother of it.
Dear Miss Grey: If you
had some thoroughbred
chickens and wanted to sell
them, and had Matched them
under a mongrel hen. and
the man who wanted to buy
should ask what hen was the
mother of the chickens, what
would you say? / think the
hen that lays the egg is the
mother.
YOURS TRULY.
Dear Miss Grey: l want
to ask the one claiming the
hen that matches the egg is
the mother, in case the egg
is Matched in an incubator,
and raised in a brooder,
which is the mother, the in
cubator, the brooder or the
hen that laid the egg?
My opinion is that the hen
that lays the egg is the real
mother; all others are step
or foster-mothers.
AN OLD-TIMER.
Dear Miss Grey: Answer
ing the question as to which
is the mother, the hen that
lays the egg, or the hen that
matches the chick, will say 1t
is the hen that lays the egg.
The proof is that a hen can
hatch a duck egg; but she
could hardly be mother of a
duck. G. ].

that matches the chick is the
mother of 1t. In order to
become a mother one has to
bring forth. or deliver. one
of its own kind, or family.

about you boys that isn't quite
right, you couldn't blame them
for that either, could you?

will not spoon or talk love to the
girls, why don't You 60 to the
mothers and tell them you are
sensible and that they can trust
you to be manly with their girls ?
