several weeks the birds are unable to
get through the snow crust and their
food supply is also cut off.
Mr.. Avery suggests that food be
scattered over the snow for the birds.
In discussing the matter he says
"Shelters may be built at this time
and grain placed under them. Any
kind of shelters will do, provided they
are placed near patches of wood and
trees left open on the sides so that
foxes, weasels and other predatory
animals cannot surprise and kill the
birds when feeding. A frame of sap
lings on low posts close to the ground,
covered thickly with evergreen bough
makes an excellent shelter. If wild
grape vines or other entanglements of
brush or trees are near. they may be
completely covered with boughs and
the best kind of natural feeding sta
tions made.
Wheat, barley, buckwheat or other
grains in the shock or on the straw,
are good. Hang up such grain, heads
down, so that birds may get it but
not their enemies. Seeds and grains
may be scattered under the shelters.

Girls of Andaiusia.

Andalusian girls are, as a rule, singularly graceful, with small hands and feet. Their complexions are pale with the exception of those who live by the sea or in mountain places, such as Ronda, where the women have always been noted for their beauty. Some say the Spanish skin,is the most perfect in Europe, and Gautier describes it as "a gold en pallor," but unfortunately the Andalusian girl is very anxious to hide It's, fine texture under a coating of powder. Weather seems to have little effect on it, for it neither freckles nor discolors.
