Because polka-dot frocks are in fash

pleased feeling that we are quite in
the middle of the picture. Taffeta and
satin are not looked upon with any
degree of warmth, but taffeta is ap-
piled to chiffon and then embroidered

ball gown to a blouse. Its acceptance
by the smart dressmakers for this pur-
pose leads the way for the new nets
that have come over from France for
gowns. such as point d'esprit and the
net with the square or dot woven in
1t. The former is especially attrac-
tive for q blouse to be worn with

Everyone knows by this time that

country wear, are Of yellow. turquoise

tufts of feathers which serve to distinguish 1t
from a less common but very much similar owl
of which something will be written further on. OF
owls which are not described here at length.
among the most useful are the barred owl.
the longeared and the shorteared owls.
The screech owl is one OF the best mousers In
the world 1t also is a great destroyer of insects.
1t starts its hunting about sunset and it journeys
round and round the buildings in the country
looking for its favorite quarry. kills thousands
upon thousands of mice every year. Dr. A. X.
Fisher, the governments expert in all matters per-
tanning to hawks and owls. says of the little
screech owls that their economic relations are of
the greatest importance, particularly on account
of the abundance of the species in farming dis
tricts; and whoever destroys them through ignor-
ance or prejudice should be severely condemned
1t was the barn owl. a species closely allied
to 1t, Of which Gray wrote in his "Elegy." the
moping owl doth to the moon complain" Some
times the barn owl is called the monkey-faced owl
because its countenance does look a trhe like that
Of the monkey. In recent years the barn owls
have been decreasing in numbers because Of the
mistaken belief that they kill poultry. The
trouble is that barn owls frequently live in barns
in other structures reared by man, and because
they are therefore about the poultry
yards frequently the impression is given that they
are chicken thieves The barn OWL however. is
one of the most beneficial of all rapacious
birds. 1t dearly loves rats ana mice, ana one barn
owl is worth dozen cats as a ratter and mouser.
There is a little owl commonly called the saw
whet," which is interesting and beneficial crea-
ture. At first glance one might think that the
saw-whet owl is a screech owl, but taking q
second look it will be seen that the saw-whet
lacks the tufts feathered horns that are
worn by its little cousin.
The saw-whet owl gets its name from the fact
that its note sounds like the whetting Of a saw.
1t can be readily understood therefore, that this
bird is not much of a musician. It Is q great
mouser and like most of the other owls, seems to
prefer these small rodents to almost any other
article Of diet.
The saw-whet owl raises large family each
year. 1t keeps the father and mother exceedingly
busy to get enough mice to feed the offspring but
they keep at the hunting work for hours at a
time and probably deny themselves many a mouse
morsel in order that the young may get enough
to eat.
1t is an easy matter for a person to get from the
government full knowledge of the habits of the
beneficial hawks and owls of the United States
The biological survey Of the department of agri.
culture has the records in The case and it will be
glad enough to furnish information to persons
seeking it. Uncle Sam wants to save most of
his hawks and owls.
Why not help him do it?

DECORATION FOR SOFT SILKS
Many Ideas Havs Been Put Forward,
Some Highly Decorative and Some
In Quieter Forms.

Quaint medallions and bouquets and
prim little baskets of flowers are scat.
tered over the surface of soft silks.
Rings of several colors and of irregu-
lar shapes are dropped at widely
spaced intervals over other silks, and
on others highly decorative patterns
are used. Lovely georgette- crepes
have baskets Of flowers scattered over
the surface. A fine taffeta broche
which combines crispness and softness
in Just the right degree is ornamented
with a little flower which never grew
on land or sea.
Stripes are very fashionable and are
cleverly used. Gay-patterned Innings
are used in coats and suits. Delicate
organdie embroideries are used In q
number Of dainty ways; many are
lightly touched in color. especially old
blue and delicate rose. Embroidered
nets touched in color are used for
entire frocks as well as for trimmings.

MAKE WORK FOR LAUNDRESS
Tub Petticoats With Colored Ruffles
Are to Be the Correct Things for
the Summer Garments.

Six yards is the correct width for a
summer petticoat this season and one
cannot help plying the poor laundress
who has had a long and blessed rest
from starching and fluting crisp petit
coat frills. Some petticoats to be
sure own to but three yards, but these
are the most inexpensive and humble
models. AS the price advances the
width advances, and the number of
frills also. Four ruffles of embroi-
derry, overlapping from knee to hem,
is pretty trimming; especially when
the embroidery is the fine scallop-and-
dot kind always in good taste. A new
petticoat which is already very popu-
lar has four ruffles of fine lawn edged
with narrow handkerchief hens in
some pretty color; and the rufles are
stitched to the petticoat with colored
threads to match. With pink or blue
edged frills and stitching. these new
tub petticoats are really enchanting.

The marsh hawk. Circus hudsonius. is one of the
most beautiful birds of prey in the United States
and one Of the most useful. The adult male has
a blush slate body. streaked with white, and be-
coming pure white just above the tail and under
meath. The underparts are lightly specked with
reddish brown. The adult female and the young
are rusty in color, with a good many streaks.
Marsh hawks, as their name suggests, haunt the
wet places, but frequently they are seen flying low
over the dry fields and the prairies. Perhaps one
cannot do better than to quote Vernon Bailey on
the subject of the marsh hawk. He writes:
THE intelligent farmer usually recognizes the
value of this hawk and the fact that it almost
never touches his poultry. He sees 1t skimming
over his meadows and diving into the grass for
mice, and wisely let's its live; but nevertheless he
would be surprised II he could figure out how
many dollars it saves him during the year."
1t is virtually impossible within the scope of
comparatively short article to give anything like
full list with descriptions Of all the beneficial
hawks in the United States They form a feath-
cred legion. Let us. however, take one more
of these birds Of prey for q little advisory dis
course. The Swanson hawk. Buteo swansoni, is
distributed from the far arctic regions way south
ward to the Argentine Republic. In the United
States, it is fairly common from the western
ocean to Wisconsin and Illinois, and occasionally
it is found in the East
Major Bendire. the army ornithologist, wrote Of
this hawk, which he studied for a long time
The food of Swainson's hawk consists almost
entirely Of the smaller rodents. principally striped
gophers and mice. as well as grasshoppers and the
large black cricket which is very common, as
well as destructive in certain seasons, and the
bane Of the farmers ip eastern Oregon, Washing
ton. Idaho Nevada, and other localities in the

thing as they move along. l cannot recall a sim
