"H0MING 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
f1uenced by the need of finding a suf-
ticieRt supply of food. AS food grows
scarce when winter approaches in the
farthest 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 a bird or
human being is brought up generally
becomes a permanent part of its ma
turs; or9itholeslsts- have not yet
bird to find It's 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
lily, birds cherish a 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 a
temporary sojourn abroad to secure
the means of livelihood.

STYLES IN BL0USES
CHIEF POINT IS THEIR COMPARE.
TIVE SIMPLICITY.
Any Kind Of Washable White Material
May Be Used, But Embroidery and
Lace is Little Used This
Season.

The popularity of the one-pece
irock has to a certain extent mltl-
gated the problem of the separate
blouse; yet every woman has one
suit for spring and summer and she
also has separate sport skirts OF cor
duroy, linen and pique, which demand
/ certain kind Of simple blouse. All
KINDS of white material that wash are
used for waists, but quantities of EN-,
broldery and lace are still omitted.
Inc smart ornamentation is COlored
linen IN the red and blue of the
French flag used as Follower collar
and cuffs.
Striped muslins are also used as col
lar and cuffs and breast pockets also
FOR whole waists. In truth, the striped
blouse in silk and lawn is the fashion
most featured at the moment. 1t can
be worn with all white suits, but it
looks especially we'll with the omni-
present, ubiquitous suit of thin blue
serge.
There are also colored linen blouses
IN bright blue, pinks and apple green
Inc flesh pink crepe de chine blouse
with Follower collar and self.covered
buttons fastened through silk loops is
retained for the spring. There is no
change in the shape of these waists
1hey have regulation armholes, long
small sleeves, turnover cuffs and
whenever type of collar one prefers.
An interesting feature is the return of !
the plated rufile in front.
There are so many tricks in tie |
trade of clothes that one sees and |
tries to remember to pass on. Some !
times they interest women more than
the important features. There is thst
new method of lacing up a frock in
the middle of the back. 1t is done by
a velvet cord through large round
buttonholes that are heavily over
cast. At the end of the cord are short
spikes of cut Jet.
The idea was brought out in black
taffeta afternoon gown, but it has
been copied in all kinds of materials,
1t is especially effective on the bod.

New Small Hats.

A little very close-fitting hat is more
like the old pork-pie shape and has the
usual cluster of pompons, but very
small, and set on the outside of the
brim, not above it. Another more be-
coming shape is that of twisted tur-
ban in effect, but higher in the crown
than those that were in vogue not so
long ago. A third, prettiest Of all, is
just like fiat strawberry basket, and
appears at first sight to be Of drab
straw, but proves to be woven of
strips of cloth. This is trimmed with
black cloth cherries.

LATEST IN TAILORED SUITS

The short coat extends to the waist.
1t is a very straight model, being alb
solutely without curves. Buttons and
braid are arranged upon the front OF
the coat to correspond with the style
Of the skirt.
Coat collar is high and straight, but
is opened sufficiently in front to show
white stock collar.
The coat sleeves are fitted into the

A FOOD DRINK

fastening a gown is the use of i'm
mense hooks and eyes covered with
a material, in the same color as the
trock, or to contrast with it. These
are used III front or back, preferably
in front.
On a gown of black silk they are
covered with white satin, and there
are white satin collar and cuffs to
carry out the color scheme. The
smart woman who wore this frock
completed the idea by wearing with it
an oblong turban Of white satin with a
Jet ornament ana white uppers to her
black slippers.

A noticeable feature of the newest
sleeves Is their flaring cuffs. On
blouses of transparent materials the
cuffs are very gauzy, while on after
noon gowns of faille or serge the far

trasting color. The same color is then
introduced on vest, collar and girdle.
