Encourage the robin and bluebird"
is the advice of the Department of Ag-
riculture biologists. These birds will
more than compensate for occasional
depredations by the assistance they
give in killing undesirable insects, ac-
cording to the experts.
They can be prevented from eating
desirable fruits, it is pointed out, by
providing them with a supply of wild
ones for winter diet when insect fool
is scarce.

WOMEN or EUROPE.
An Italian Critic Says Those of Spain
Are the Most Beautiful.


Are the Most Beautiful.
A celebrated Italian writer OF Flor
ence has been favoring the world with
his opinion of some of the women OF
Europe. He considers only four ma
lions. and of these he selects Spain as
most worthy OF the crown for feminine
beauty. He says:
1.-THE Spanish woman is bewitchingly
beautiful. She has small hands and
feet and large eyes like the open win
dows of a sunburnt marble palace,
figure full of grace and life and long.
dark. wavy hair. She is very religious,
very ignorant, very jealous, very SEN
sitive and very prond."
OF the British woman be says: Her
hair Is like gold. She has heavenly eyes,
a peachlike complexion, a delicately
formed nose and good teeth. She Is
reserved. very active and generally
slave to etiquette"
AS to the Frenchwoman he is less
complimentary. 1t is thus that be de-
scribes her: "She is cat and SER
pent, palm and violet, and when
she is not pretty she is charming. She
is amiable, dreadful coquette and
generally false"
His summary of the Russian woman
is that she is ''of an oriental type which
had been prematurely transported Into
Europe. In her are combined the ex-
traordinary charms OF a savage and the
civilized woman. ~ Parsons.
