APPLAUSE OF VARIOUS KINDS
Always Easy to Distinguish the Gen.
uine From the Perfunctory or
the Manufactured.

With nearly every successful ad-
dress applause plays leading part.
There are several varieties OF ap-
pEause. The common variety is the
perfunctory handclap-a poor, weak
contribution which makes butterfly
look long-lived in comparison. A sec
ond variety is the charity oHering OF
an audience to the oratorial beggar.
The speaker ends profound decla-
ration with pause which Is next door
to an open declaration Of war If the
audience doesn't come across. Or he
works himself up in a series OF men
tai paroxysms which impels the audi
tors to rush to his rescue before 1t Is
too late. All spellbinders pocket this
variety of applause as real coin. or
course it is nothing Of the kind.
The genuine issue in laudation is
spontaneous and volcanic eruption OF
approval and delight 1t blows out

AFFECT SHORT Wells

The short fiy-away veil is more pop
ular than ever, writes a Paris CORE
spondent. l mean the quaint little veil
which just covers the nose and which
ls attached to the hat brim like a gath
cred flounce. French women find these
wells convenient. Once they are ar
ranged they need not be touched until
the hat is taken off, for they do not
get into the way of q teacup or indeed
Of anything else.
The most popular veil of the present
season is made of violet spotted net,
with fine black lace border, the lat
ter quite narrow. Violet spotted net
is specially becoming to fresh complex,
ions, quite as becoming as heliotrope
tulle, which is saying a good deal.
l have seen fiy-away wells in nut
brown tulle introduced with good eff
feet on rough brown straw hats; violet
wells are worn with black, dark blue,
purple and pale gray hats.
Lewis told me the other day that
hatter's plush was going to be the
material for spring and summer hats.
You, of course, realize that hatter's
plush is the silky material used to
cover mems tall hats.
At the immediate moment the Parish
ennes are wearing wide-brimmed hats
covered with this stiff stuff in con-
junction with the smartest walking
costumes, and it almost invariably
happens that the hat is absolutely un-
trimmed.
This is smart fashion and very
French. Good hatter's plush is an ex-
pensive material and the hats in ques-
ton, though guiltless of trimming, are
fairly costly. The well-known milliner
have just mentioned is of opinion
that such, hats-in yblack and. ivory
white-will be largely worn in the
summer with thin muslin frocks and
bright silk sweaters. 1t will be a very
pretty style.
In several of my recent articles
have spoken of the revival of interest
in ostrich feathers, long and short. In
deed feathers and feather trimming
may be said to be ubiquitous just now.
On many of the newest evening gowns
little clusters oS feathers take the place
of flowers, at waist or breast, and
fringes of feathers appear on the capes
and collars of theater and restaurant
cloaks.

find long feathers of the weeping"

Those who desire to have birds
about their homes should not feel
that their power to attract them is

some birds gladly avail themselves

of getting living.
We have thus far considered WAYS
Of feeding birds titbits we ourselves

Story of, the Hermit.
Near the summit of Old Badly there
is a perennial spring whose cold and
sparkling waters leap from beneath
it's very crown. About these gushing
mountain waters there fingers the
story of the hermit. 1t is said that
when he first reached the summit,
searching for a cave in which to live,
he was almost famished on account of
thirst With his staff he smote a rock
and from it sprang this beautiful
stream that has not ceased to flow
since that day.
Though many thousands of feet
above the valley, numbers sought his
cave. Augustiniani erected fourteen
huge crosses, the ruins of which still
stand as silent monuments of his de-
votion and zeal. From among his curl
society called the Brotherhood of the
Holy Cross. His only exaction was a
pilgrimage in May and September.
They must ascend the peak and say
prayer around these crosses.
In the May pilgrimage of 1867, he
made farewell speech that crushed
the hearts of his followers. 1t was
then he revealed to them the hand of
destiny in his call to the land of Old
Mexico. Before his departure he Wis,
tied Father Baca of Las Cruces, who
presented him with gold for his long
journey. He sought meditation for
the night in the Oregon mountains.
Taking his farewell of Father Baca, he
said:
Tonight I will be in my cave and
will build my last fire on the peak to
tell you good-by. will pray the rosary
and l want you to do likewise with
your people on the roofs of you,
houses. If you do not see the fire you
may know that l am dead and may
come tomorrow and get my books and
property"
No fire was kindled on the peak that
night. The next day a company as.
cended the heights. Amid the very
clouds they found the body of the good
old hermit, stricken through with
many an arrow flung from the bows of
the bloody Navajos.

The dissatisfaction of the railroad
companies in the United States with
the payments made to them by the
government for mail haulage, is as
nothing compared to the attitude of
the British railroad companies. The
British post Office department discov-
cred that for short haulage, up to
about 125 miles, the motor truck or
tractor is far cheaper and better than
the railway. For this reason the great
bull; of British NAH transfer over dis
tances within 125 miles is now made
with trucks.

Although a considerable number of
our native birds build their nests on
the ground, the majority place them
in trees or shrubs, either in holes or
on the limbs or in crotches. Shrub
berry and trees for nesting sites, there
fore, are essential for making place
attractive to birds, and double pur
pose is served if the kinds planted
are chosen from the list of fruit-bear-
ing species already given. Shrubs
should be allowed to form thickets
and should be pruned back severely
when young so as to produce numer-
Gus crotches.
The most common errors in putting
out bird houses are choosing poor
locations and supplying too many
boxes. A bird house in bald, glazing
location is not nearly so likely to at
tract tenants as one in a partially
shaded place, martins, only. prefer
a house standing apart from trees.

ashes and box elders. The winged
fruits of these trees are opened and
the seeds eaten by pine and evening
grosbeaks, the visits of these birds
being largely regulated by the supply
of this kind of food. Larches, pines,
and other conifers are attractive to
crossbills as well as to some of the
species just mentioned.
Birds devour cultivated fruit prin-
cipally because the processes of cult
walton diminish the wild supply. The
presence of wild fruit in a locality
always serves to protect domestic va
rieties, especially when the wild trees
or shrubs are of the same kind as the
cultivated ones and ripen earlier.
The following shrubs may be planted
for the use of the birds for the pro-
lection of cultivated fruits:

Cretonnes are used in every con-
ceivable way this spring. They are
no longer confined to the boudoir and
the porch, but make their appearance
in practically every room in the house.
Consequently a wider variety Of de-
signs has been put forth. There are
still the dainty flower and wreath de-
signs, but more ingenuity seems to
have been expended upon the beauti-
full verdure patterns for upholstery
purposes and the big, splashy exam

be supplied in two ways-by planting
trees, shrubs and herbs which pro-

and by exposing food in artificial de-
vices. The most familiar phase of the
latter method is winter feeding.
During the season when the natural
food supply is at it's lowest ebb birds
respond most readily to our hospital
ity. Winter feeding has become very
popular, and the result has been to
bring about better understanding DO
tween birds and human kind.
The winter foods commonly used
include suet or other fat, pork rinds,
bones with shreds of meat, cooked
meats, worms, cut up apples, bird
seed, buckwheat, crackers, crumbs,
