"Now. the Wrens love to Battle

WINTER WRENS.

"The Winter Wren," said Daddy. as
really with us In the Summertime too.
But then he is off by himself and has
nothing to do with Grown-Ups. For
he is Shy and does not dare come too
near.
HE has the most beautiful little
Voice, and often we can hear his
Lovely Notes and the Wonderful Music
he gives and still be quite unable to
see him.
But now and again we can get a
glimpse of him on some tall piece Of
Grass, or some low Bush bending back
and forth with the Wind, Singing all
the time. He is very small, and his
Tail is long and comes out Straight
behind him. Often he Perches on q
Branch SO that his Tail is above his
Head!
"NOw the other day he was sitting
on a SnOw-Berry Bush"
"What is a Snow-Berry Bush?"

You always do! Someone will look
after us. Yes, someone will And may

rhinestohes lend the necessary sparkle
These combs are worn in the hair in
many positions.
With no sensible reason for flourish
ing in midwinter. and with the incon-
sistency Of things feminine, fans are
just now in the zenith of their popu-
larity. They are bits of splendor that
give the finishing touch to winter toll
cites, and they become especially en-
ticing just before the holidays. just
now they are more in evidence in the
shops than they ever will be in the
hottest of midsummer weather.
The prices asked for the new fans
are rather outrageOusly high. but,
measured by their beauty, money is
something to forget. All the corners
of the earth are called upon TO furnish
the materials and the art that produce
them. They are limitless in variety,
and most Of them sparkle and CLEAN
and flash and please with lovely color.
