DANGEROUS BIRDS OF PREY
Some American Owls Capable Of Car

One Of the largest of our American
varieties of the owl family was shot

feet-from tip to tip It's claws,

Such an owl Is quite capable not

What Constitutes a Well
Furnished Home

The well-furnished house is not
one which is cluttered UP with
things which may be useful or at
tractive in themselves, but which
nobody uses or enjoys, but one
which contains those things which
are necessary for convenience in
working and for comfort and sat
isfaction in living, and no more.
1t need not on that account be
strictly utilitarian; on the con-
trary, if it were we'll planned, per-
fectly comfortable, it would also
be beautiful, because beauty does
not lie so much in the ornaments
which are put on a thing as in the
perfect adaptation of that thing
to the use for which it is intended.
In collection of historical furni-
ture the most beautiful pieces of
each period are not those which
are most deliberately decorated,
but those in which material and
shape and workmanship best
answer the needs they were de-
signed to meet. If there is orna-
ment, it does not interfere with
usefulness or comfort, and is so
applied that it brings out the in
herent beauty of the lines and
material. The reason why some .
If the plain old tables and chairs
which we have inherited from ,
earlier times look better than
many of the elaborate and snowy
mes which have just left the fac =
DRY is that their makers were 4

Many places all over the country

cared for by the children.
Business men and well-to-do
farmers are offering prizes for
their favorite flowers. and you
will see from the pictures that
grandmother's flower garden is
being made to bloom again in
many country places.
The boys and girls in some

more interested to make them
strong and comfortable than sim
ply to produce novelties the chief
merit of which is to catch the eye.
The same principle holds in all
household furnishings-in fact, in
everything. If a woman tries sin
cerely to arrange her house ac-
cording to this idea of adaptation
to use, she need not worry about
its being pretty" She may not
be rich enough to have expensive
things, but if she uses harmonious
colors for her walls, floors, and
upholstery, and chooses furniture
for its good design and comfort
rather than for its ornamentation,
her house can hardly fail to be
restful and attractive.
1t is possible to carry the idea
of simplicity too far. For ex-
ample, a chair is not necessarily
beautiful, comfortable, or easy to
take care of merely because it is
made up of straight lines. On
the contrary, such severely plain
furniture is often both awkward
looking and uncomfortable. Too
many useless ornaments in a room
give it an overcrowd-
ed, restless look, and have fur
ther disadvantage in making I'M
necessary work in cleaning. On
he other hand, no ornaments at
Ill would make it seem bare and
lnfriendly. The sensible woman,
steers between the two extremes
md uses few ornaments chosen
because they are useful things in
beautiful form, or be-
ause they represent the artistic
interests of the family, or have
he intangible but none the less
cal value of personal association.
\ disable vase of handsome glass
r pottery, good-looking box for

w good photographs or prints of

nples of suitable ornaments.

farm mothers and daughters dis
satisfied = not because they are
overworked or mistreated, but
just simply because they are lone
some, and their souls hunger for
more beautiful surroundings and
for love and companionship, for
the happiness that comes from
fellowship, for recognition in So
ciety and for more modern con-
veniences in the farm home.
Supply these and all is changed,
their shoulders straighten, their
eyes brighten and the corners of
their mouths turn up, mothers
step becomes more elastic, she
sings the songs of yesterday, and
her work is glori6ed before her
eyes. The daughter, too, instead
of planning a life behind some
counter in the city or at the type
writer, sees the happiness in the
open fields and the pure free air
of the country.
These things do not depend
upon wealth as counted in dollars
and cents, for wealth does not
consist of the things which we
possess, but the things which we
enjoy. The poorest home in the
world is one with money and
nothing else.
Is it not time, then, that we
consider the lilies of the field"
and think of what God has done '
to make the earth mans dwelling
place and how the little things in {
nature have been worked out with +
such infinite pains? How each t
little flower, like each little

: perfect development they bring
and the process of evolution anC
embodiment stops so far as we are
concerned until we do catch theiI
meaning and make it a part Of
our ideal selves.
If we surround ourselves and
our families with beauty, pure
and unadulterated, if we learn to
love it, live it, then our brains, by
some secret process which man
has not yet discovered, link our
material bodies to the beautiful,
and it manifests itself in the very
warp and wool of our animate ex-
istence. If God has taken such
infinite pains to beautify by His
handiwork, is it not worth while
for us to consider its worth and
to cultivate it in our personality,
in our surroundings, in our very
souls?
Will we let the gilded saloons,
the beautiful parks, the gay ball
rooms of the city rob US of our
boys and girls because they are
starved for companionship and
love and beauty and modern sur
roundings in the farm home? No,
a thousand times, no!
We can make our homes so
beautiful and our surroundings so
pleasant and agreeable and farm
life so attractive and restful that
we will have the world at our
gates begging entrance, because
Of the peace, contentment, refine
nent, culture and hospitality of
he rural homes.
The reason the call to the farm
las not been answered and the
march from the farm to the city
S increasing to an alarming ex- {
ent is because the world reads I
he value we put upon our farm t
omes by the beauty, comfort and +
with which we sur v
ound them. The forlorn picture a
f. the old farmer and his poor, v

lie and will not be changed until S
