Catbird
(DumeteIIa carolinersis)

Length, about nine inches. The
slaty gray plumage and black cap and
tail are distinctive.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States west to New Mexico,
Utah, Oregon. and Washington. and
in southern Canada; winters from the
gulf states to Panama.
Habits and economic status: In
many localities the catbird is one of
the commonest birds Tangled
growths are its favorte nesting places
and retreats. but berry patches and
ornamental shrubbery are not dis
dained. Hence the bird is a familiar
dooryard visitor. The bird has fine
song, unfortunately marred by occa-
sional cat calls. With habits similar
to those of the mocking bird and a
song almost as varied, the catbird has
never secured similar place in pop.

APRON EFFECTS IN
PARTY FROCkS

Lauvin is credited with the original
apron front dress. of which the frock
shown in the picture is an adaptation,
with few changes. 1t is an excellent
suggestion for party frock. The
skirt is made of four flounces of net
with embroidered borders and has a
straight-hanging apron or panel of
lowered taffeta at the front and back
These panels are gathered onto net
yoke, which joins the first of the net
ilounces also.
The pictured dress is a good model
for party or dinner frock. The
panels OF pompadour taffeta give it
life. 1t is made with baby" waist
having short peplum of embroidered
net. This is built up by the addition
Of frill of white crepe. Narrow
ribbons, fastened to the net bodice

PICTURESQUE
MIDSUMMER HATS

Frills and flowers, ribbons and laces.
and almost everything else make up
the colorful millinery of midsummer.
Big wide-brimmed hats take all these
unto themselves, much to the Joy of
fair woman. For. after all, the wide
Drimmed picture hat remains the most
beautiful of all headwear and lends It's
dignity and charm to those who are
youthful and good-looking enough to
wear 1t. With the return of the big
hat and lace hair braid in the same
season only one thing could happen.
They we're made for each other. and
milliners have hastened to join them
in such graceful fashion as appears in

only one color. There is a fad for
girdles, hat trimmings and other gar
nishments in these colors just now
narrow ribbon girdle may be made in
three colors also. In the model the
belt is of wider ribbon, crushed and
fastening under a fancy buckle at
the front
A pretty evening wrap is shown with
the gown. 1t is much like cape but
has faced openings at each side where
the arms pass through. The wrap is
made of light-colored taffeta lined
with white and has wide collar OF
black and white striped satin and a
narrow border of black satin down
each side of the front on the facing.
One of the new coiffures finishes
the toilette correctly. The hair is
dressed high on the head, parted at
the sides, and waved. The forehead
and ears are covered, but the temples
are bare and at one side the brow
above is uncovered. The new Golf
fures show radical changes in style.

remainder of its animal diet includes
altogether too large a proportion Of

In this respect 1t appears to be worse
than its eastern relative, the blue Jay.
While its vegetable food is composed
largely Of mast. at times Its liking
for cultivated fruit and grain makes
1t most unwelcome visitor to the

may be said that over much OF its
range this jay is too abundant for

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
URGE WAR TO LAST

London, Sept. PA conference of
the Socialists of the German empire
has adopted by vote of 251 to 5 a
resolution declaring the country must
be defended until it's enemies are pre-
pared to conclude a peace guarantee
ing the political and territorial integ-
rity and the economic developments
Of Germany, according to telegram
from Berlin received at Amsterdam
and forwarded by the Reuter- Tele-
gram company.
The resolution is said to have
strongly condemned the Vaccinations
and demands of those who wish to
make the war one of conquest.
This attitude. it is contended,
strengthens the resistance of Ger
many's opponents and tends to pro-
long the conflict.
