c Commonweal Lecture
on "A Bird in the Bush

On Monday evening, April 80, at
7:45 sharp, Mrs. Boyd Rothrock, of
the Pennsylvania State Museum, will
give an illustrated lecture on BIRDS
using many beautifully colored slides,
in John Y. Boyd hall of the Y. w.
c. A. for the Commonwealth Club.
All who are interested are cordially
invited to attend.
To the real nature lover as we'll
as the agriculturist. the bird in the
bush is worth much more than the
bird in the hand. To know and love
the bird is not simply to name it and
recognize its call. 1t is to appreciate
its place in the landscape and in the
season. to relate it to your daily life,
to divine its character and to know
it emotionally in your heart.
For those who have eyes and see
not as well as those who have not
the time or inclination to go to the
woods, a knowledge of more than a
dozen different birds may be gained
without leaving the city streets.

the circulation OF the blood becomes
poisoned, the system becomes loaded
with toxic waste, and we suffer from

Theirs was the first "black we'd
ding on record. Except for the white
principals, the affair -vaS as black as
the ace of spades. Wedding tradi-
tons were hauled out in a bunch and
smashed to pieces The bride was
clad in jet black from her hair and
earrings to her toes. The groom wore
a black suit black silk shirt, black
linen collar and black gloves.
Later the wedding breakfast at the
brides home was served by black
walters in black. The menu consisted
of blackberry cocktails, black bass,
black bread, black coffee. 1t seemed
like everything black in the world was
there but despair.
Black said the bridegroom, lis
the ideal color for weddings. AS
mourning it is losing its significance.
No one wears mourning any more.
And black is cheaper and more serv-
iceable than any other color

Diamond express for a honeymoon
tour thru the principal cities of the

places a chance to look them over.
