Old Fashions Return With the War

Old Fashions Return With the War.
Among the many changes that the
war Is bringing into the streets and
the home some of the most significant
are so quiet and unobtrusive that peo-
pie hardly notice them. One of these
Is the change that has come over
the look of households of persons Of
fastidious tastes and strict esthetic
conduct. Formerly the idea of a
mounted photograph Except perhaps
a reproduction of an old master) was
thought to be quite banal and terribly
suburban Today you find their man
telpieces crowded with photographs,
some even pinned on the wall without
the slightest regard for spacing and
rangement-details which formerly
would have taken an afternoons
thought to settle. Our artistic houses
are being ruined without a single re-
gret. Another reversion to simpler
days is the return Of the old-fash-
ioned hair broom with its little oblong
frame of gold prettily wrought In
closing a tiny panel for strand OF
hair. Some of them are originals
bought In curio shops or rummaged
out from old cases, but the hair In
them today Is young and newly cut

and Goodwin knew from the shaking
of her body that she was weeping
with complete abandonment to her
grief.
He hardly knew whether to go qui-
etly away and let her have her cry
out or whether to attract her atten-
ton and do his best to comfort her.
His dog had solved the question
by going over to the weeping girl
and slipping his long, cool nose up
beneath her arms. Goodwin swal-
lowed the lump in his throat when
he saw the girls fingers draw the
dogs head close to her. Creature
comfort was instructive in the AMI
NAL, but he himself had lacked the
initiative.
He coughed delicately and the
girl looked up. Her eyes were starry
and tear-wet. Goodwin knew that he
was going to fall In love with Ninian,
and he worded his thoughts accord
ingly.
Please confide in me-" he said
softly. Il will do anything in my
power to allay your suffering. Tell
me your troubles He added the
last word In so soothing voice that
Ninian smiled through her tears. She
liked Goodwin at first sight.

But you can buy 1t" Goodwin lied
glibly. Il am moving out next week.
The place doesn't exactly suit my
needs" Never had he expected to
see such glorious light in any wom-
ans eyes. Never had he lied more
gladly. On the morrow he would see
the man from whom he had but yes
terday bought Rosebank and have the
transfer made without the girl know
ing it.
Ninian had jumped up and without
thinking slipped her fingers into
Goodwin's.
You have given me all the hap
piness In the world!" she cried, ex-
citedly.
mot quite" Goodwin said dryly,
for In his mind he saw himself court
ing Ninian In the rose gardens and
giving her far greater happiness in
love than she was getting In the lone
someness of her cottage. "And was
quite right" he said to her some three
weeks later, wasn't II"
YES" Ninian answered softly, "and

you were going to give me this hap
piness, too"

"Moyie" Now Accepted.

A moving picture magazine recently
submitted to nearly 1000 newspaper
editors the question as to whether the
word movie" has obtained a suffi-
ciently established place in our Ian
guage to be used without quotation
marks. More than 500 of them re-
piled affirmatively, while only 220 ex-
pressed the opinion that the word was
still On probation, a few declaring it
ought to be abolished. The word has
probably come to stay. 1t is indica-
tive of a certain American simplicity
and directness that movie should
have found popularity in this country
whereas in Europe the current word
is cinema" The old world stuck to
the original Greek derivative name of
cinematograph, and the public short
ened 1t. In America we preferred
moving picture-a name requiring no
translation of the multitude.

BIRDS THE FRIENDS OF MAN
Investigation Has Shown the Extent
Of Their Ravages on Insects That
Destroy tho Crops.

A recent government bulletin In the
interest of bird conservation gives
some facts demonstrating their useful
ness az insect and noxious weed de-
stroyers that should become general
knowledge.
A tree swallow stomach was found
to contain 40 entire chinch bugs and
fragments of many others, besides 9th
er species of insects. A bank swallow
in Texas devoured 6S cotton boil wee
wills. Thirty-f1ve cliff swallows had
taken an average of Is boil weevils
each. Two stomachs of pine siskins
from Haywards, Cal, contained goo
black olive scales and 300 plant lice.

had eaten $40 grasshoppers, 81 bugs.
three beetles, two wasps and spider.
A bobtailed grackle from Texas had

cotton boil worms besides few 9th.
er insects. A ring-necked pheasant's
crop from Washington contained 5000
seeds of chickweed and dandelion
heads.
The quail, between his CHEEKY calls

varieties of insects. He will eat on an
average $4,000 insects and 100000
weed seeds year. He is the natural
enemy of the boil weevil and the po-
tato bug and the best friend Of man,
who is trying to destroy him In near
ly every state.
In fact, there are few birds that are
not the friends of the farmer, paying
him many times over in the destruc-
ton of insects and noxious weed seeds
for the small amount of toll they take
from his crops.

THE BIRDS.
Birds" by John Runkin.

The bird is little more than a drift
of the air brought into form by
plumes. The air is in all its quilts;
it breathes through its whole frame
and flesh and glows with air in its
flying, like a blown flame. 1t rests
upon the air, subdues it, surpasses it,
o~utraces it. 1t is the air, conscious
of itself, c%onquering itself, ruling it
self.
Also into the throat of the bird is
given the voice of the air. All that
in the wind itself is weak, useless in
sweetness, is knit together in its
song. AS we may imagine the wild
form of the cloud closed into the per-
feet form of the birds wings, so the
wild voice of the cloud into its order
ed and commanded voice, ~unwearied,
ripping through the clear heaven in
its gladness, interpreting all intense
passion through the soft spring nights
bursting into acclaim and rapture of
choir at daybreak or lisping and twit-
tering among the boughs and hedges
through heat of day ,dike little winds
that only make the cowslip bells
shake and ruffle the petals of the
wild rose.
Also upon the plumes of the bird
are put the colors of the air, on these
the gold of the cloud that cannot be
gathered by any covetousness, the ru-
bies of the clouds, the vermillion of
the cloud bar, and the flame of the
cloud crest, and the snow of the cloud
and it's shadow, and the melted blue
of the deep wells of the sky-all
these seized by the creating spirit
and woven into films and threads of
plume, with wave on wave following
and fading along breast and throat
and opened wings, infinite as the di-
viding of the foam and the sitting of
the sea sand, even the white down of
the cloud seeming to futter up be-
tween the stronger plumes, seen, but
too soft for touch.
