to lovers of the silent drama. She is

makes a bet that she will win a pro-
posal from him in a week. When he
proposes she laughs at him and tells
him it was all wager and she does
not care for him. He seeks seclusion

Informing Lecture on Birds With
Pleasing Illustrations-Dr. George
C. Reynolds Receivers and Leaves
For Boston.

At the Audubon Illustrated lecture
on Birds About Our Homes, given in
| the First Congregational chapel on
Wednesday evening; the clearness of
the pictures thrown upon the screen,
the beauty of the glimpses Of woods
and marshes where birds abound, was
noted by some of the many bird low
ers present. Valuable as the Audubon
J lecture given by Rev. G. H. Ewing.
and prepared by the state board of
education, was for all present, the
many school children would have
given closer attention to descriptions
of birds and their habits if the inter
esting facts had been used as the
basis of a talk.
Some helpful hints were: Go in
to the daisy fields and look among
dead twigs for members Of the fly
catcher family, search the shrubs in
the garden for the brown thrashers
nest, look on the inside of your
porch where on a beam the phoebes
are building. note the sociable least
f1ycatcher sometimes taking a bath in
the very spray of the garden hose,
see the Baltimore orioles nests in
the elms, put packthread about the
bough to hels his housekeeping as
the poet Lowell did, look for bobo-
links in the meadows in June, find the
rosebreasted grosbeake, a fine singer
and a renowned killer of potato bugs,
listen to the wonderful music of the
warblers. follow the water courses for
the waterfowl, rerens, kingfshers,
marsh wrens, and the rarely seen great
blue heron
Upon the screen was thrown the
white egret in all its perfection of
beauty, then the next slide showed the
still living bird with the feathers torn
from it's bark. The veery our btau-
tiful Connecticut songster, and the
hermit thrush, 'its song that can new
er he described in words were shown.
There are thousands of swallows fly
ing above our salt marshes. The win
ter birds on the screen were natural as
we see them climbing or head down.
ward pecking away for grubs on a
cold day.
Take a good bird book with you
when you go afield, but keep your eyes
open and your wits about you
After the lecture the young people
served cake and ice cream. Ray
mond Ewing's excellent work in show
ing the slides was greatly appreciated
