i the glorious air and chatting with
Hep Hardy, who had come out to
spend Sunday with US. when Aunt
Martha came bustling out, followed by
Uncle Peter, who, in turn, was fol-
lowed by Lizzie Joyce, their latest
cook.
LIZZIE wore new lid, trimmed with
prairie grass and field daisies, hang
ing like a shade over the left lamp;
she had grouchy looking grip in one
hand and green umbrella with black
freckles in the other.
She was made up to catch the first
train that shifted into the STATEN.
Aunt Martha whispered to US plain
lively: Lizzie has been here only
two days, and this makes the seventh
time she has started for town"
But Lizzie took the center of the
stage and scowled at her audience.

Lizzie put the grouchy grip down,

UYaEN Peaches and l get tired of the
W Big Town-tired of it's noises and
hullabaloo; tired of being tagged by
taxis as we cross a street; tired of
watching grocers and butchers hoist
ing higher the highest cost Of living
that's our cue to grab choo-choo and
breeze out to Uncle Peter Grants
farm and bungalow in the wilds of
Westchester, which he calls Trooly-
rooral.
Just to even matters up, Uncle Pc
ter and his wife visit us from time to
time in our amateur apartment in the
Big Town.
Uncle Peter is very stout old gen.
tleman. When he squeezes into our
little fat the walls act as if they were
bowlegged.
Uncle Peter always goes through
the folding doors sideways, and every
time he sits down the man in the
apartment below us kicks because we
move the piano so often.
Aunt Martha is Uncle Peters wife
and she weighs more and breathes
oftener.
When the two of them visit our bird
cage at the same time the janitor has
to go out and stand in front of the
building with a view to catching it
If it falls.
When we reached Troolyrooral we
found that Cousin Elsie" Schulz was
also visitor there.
Cousin Elsie" is sort of privileged
character in the family, having lived
with Aunt Maria for over twenty years
as sort of housekeeper.
They call her Cousin Elsie" just to
make it more difficult.
Three or four years ago Elsie mar
ried Gustave Bierbauer and quit her
job.
Cousin Elsie" believes Z; vt con-
versation was invented for La2 exclu-
sive use, and the way she can grab
a bundle of the English langua5c and
break it up is caution.

with the exception of a few which
were once the property of Gustave's
favorite bartender.
After Gustave's exit, Aunt Maria
tried to get Elsie back on her job, but
the old Dutch had her eye on Her
man Schulz, and finally married him.
So now every once in while Elsie
moseys over from Plainfield, N. J.,
where she lives with Herman, and
proceeds to sew lot of pillow slips
and things for Aunt Martha.
One morning while Peaches and l
were at breakfast, Elsie meandered in,
ton which Herman had forwarded to
her from Plainfield.
Elsie read the invitation: MIR. and
Mrs. Rudolph Ganderkurds request

step under the table, and said to Elsie,
well, that is new one on me. Are
you sure it isn't B. & %. or c. r. R.

roads in New Jersey, but never heard

For the first time in her life since
she's been able to grab sentence
between her teeth and shake the pro
nouns out of it Elsie was faxed.
She kept looking at the invitation
and saying to herself, "'R. 8. v. p!
Vot is it? / know der honor of your

Gives Beauty Advice.

Girls, young ladies and misses, it's
no use to spend your coin on rouge
and powder to make yourself look
beautiful II will not improve your
looks. And if you insist upon wearing
small, tight shoes with high heels, you
can depend upon it that they will
bring hard, drawn lines in your face.
Another menace to beauty is four
pound skypiece on your belfry. This
is all according to DR.. Ida c. Nahm,
who makes a sweeping denunciation
of these things. If you want to retain
your youthful beauty for ever and
ever, follow these dictates, says the
doctoress: Plenty of soap and warm
water, lots of outdoor exercise, espe-
cially walking. and drink two quarts
of water every day. These will insure
health, red cheeks and slim, youth
full figure Doctor Nahm recommends
the water cure and walks especially
for ladies with too much embonpoint.
She says it's the safest, surest and
quickest way to reduce.

"HoMING INSTINCT" IN BIRDS
Attachment TO First Home is Much
the Same as Is Evidenced
In Humanity.

The habit OF birds in migrating
South when winter comes on is In
fluenced by the need of finding a suf-
ficient supply OF food. AS food grows
scarce when winter approaches in the
fartnest northern places where birds
live they naturally turn to the South,
where, their instinct tells them food
will be plentiful The return of the
birds in the spring to their accustomed
haunts in the North is one OF the evil
dences of their possession of an in
stinct which Is also strong in man.
The environment in which bird or
human being is brought up generally
becomes a permanent part of its ma
ture. Ornithologists have not yet
made II clear just what enables the
bird to find its way back and forth to
the same spot every year, and our
knowledge is confined to the fact OF
what the "homing instinct does.
After they mate and build their
first nest and bring up their first fam
fly, birds cherish fondness for that
spot much the same as the attach
ment that man feels for his early
home, The spring migration of birds
is their joyful return home after q
temporary sojourn abroad to secure
the means of livelihood
