BUTTERFLY SURVIVES WINTER
Amazing Hardness Is Displayed by a
Jersey Family Pet.

Montclair, n. J. = Mrs Ruth Clark
Bellah of 4 Garfield place has butter
fly as household pet. The butterfly
is probably the only one in New Jer-
sey that has lived through the winter
On Oct. p last it was found in the
Bellah house under lace curtain.
Mrs. Bellah placed the little thing in a
small box with netting over it rather
than put it outdoors to freeze
To her surprise the butterfly lived, so
she then put it in large hat box with
netting over the top and sprinkled the
netting with sugar and water The
butterfly is dark reddish brown, with
pale yellow and blue splashes near the
end of it's wings. When asleep or
when its wings are closed it resembles
dried leaf Mrs. Bellah finds that
the butterfly sleeps most of the time,
but she never fails to put it in the
sunshine every bright day and to give
it sweetened water. AS soon as the
sun warns it up the butterfly opens it's
wings and flies back and forth in it's
cage, thus taking it's daily exercise.

and the whole city hangs in the heav-
ems. and fairyland is before us. then
the wayfarer hastens home. The work
ingman and the cultured one. the wise
MIN and the one of pleasure. cease to
understand. as they have ceased to
see. and nature. who. for once. has
sung in tune. sings her exquisite song
to the artist alone. her son and her
master-her son in that he loves her.
