pet Bags and the Like.

pet Bags and the Like.
A London journalist asks, Where
are those elastic side boots, beloved by
the men and women OF the sixties"
He probably refers to the boots known
IN this country as congress CATERS"
Why ''congress?" Countrymen visit
ing Washington thought that members
Of congress always drank congress wa
ter. Perhaps they did, undoubtedly
they needed it. But did they neces-
sarily wear congress CATERS? The true
western statesman was proud of his
leg boots. The popularity of the con-
gress gaiter In this country was due
to the ease with which it was put on.
It was the shoe for fat men, for indo-
lent persons, for those that were men
tally down at the heel. discouraged
and depressed.
Where are those shoes now? But
what has become of all the herdics
and where Is Peter Herdic? Where
are all the old fashioned carpet bags,
the moss agate rings and sleeve but
tons, the hair jewelry, the mustache
cups and napkin bands? Where are
the revolving casters that were once
the center ornament of the dining
room table2 what will you have
from the eastern" Where are the
clinking silver plated ice water pitch
ers, with gold lined goblets, that stood
on the sideboard or on the table in
the directors room Of a bank or Office
of some corporation? What an amaz-
ing amount Of junk there must be in
this world, including novels that were
for time prodigiously popular, serious
books that were once called definite,
final, epoch making.-Philip Hale in
Boston Herald.

EXPLAINING SONGS OF BIRDS
Beautiful Notes Of the Nightingale,
for Instance, Arc Inspired by
Paternai Love.

1t is generally assumed that bird
sings because he is happy, but sci
ence goes deeper for an explanation
of the why and wherefore of the
birds song. Natures optimistic JOY
in constructive progress is expressed
In the singing of the male birds who
charm their mates to further their
wooing, and continue after eggs are
laid to encourage the fultillment OF
Matching.
The song stops when the little birds
come out OF the shell. The nightin-
gale, for weeks during the period Of
nest-building and Matching. charms
his mate and human ears near him
with the beautiful music Of his love
song. Bat as soon as the little night
ingales come from the eggs the song
changes to n sort OF cultural croak,
implying anxiety and sense OF respon-
sibility.
II the nest and contents were dc.
stroyed the nightingale would at once
resume his beautiful song to inspire
his mate to help him build another
nest and start all over again the low
ing work of being fruitful and multi.
plying.
