WHY BIRDS SING.

The theory advanced by Darwin
that the singing of birds is merely
a sexual characteristic, and that
their power of song has been devel-
oped because only the best singers
were propagated, is no longer accept
ed by naturalists. Thus Henry Oldys
holds that birds are really moved
by love of music similar to that
experienced by human beings. In
support Of this contention he cites the
fact that birds will sing when happy
and be quiet when unhappy and that
they VIII listen to and initiate supe-
rior singers Of their own kind.
Canaries are trained by other cana
ries OF superior musical ability which
are often worth large sums.

The Indefinite waistline

The tendency to do away with q

feature persists while the texture of
the dress is being changed from the
heavier materials of spring to the
sheer cottons and nets of summer.
The long, unbroken lines are noticed

which is also pleated, tends to break
any suggestion of monotony.
Apart from the use Of lace and net
in making entire dresses, in small
proportions we find them used either
together or independently In many
costumes. Large jabots of net or lace
with high collars are worn with tai
lored suits, the jabot spreading itself
over the front of the coat and light
ening up the dark suits.

grades used for summer frocks.
Cream, ecru and white laces and
nets are received with equal enthu-
siasm. Over pale-colored slips Of
China silk or over the same net, these
dresses are most fascinating. Very
pale pink is particularly charming
under cream or ecru, which Is one of
the combinations most frequently
seen.
The all-white net dresses trimmed
with batiste embroidery banding are
also very delightful, but this is only
one of the many combinations used.
There are many frocks of net In
which organdy plays an important
part. Some of these are made in
apron effect with embroidered or
CANDY forming the long apron which
sometimes extends considerably be-
low the knees. The apron style is
now very much In vogue and is de-
cidedly attractive in laces and sheer
materials. In some Of the variations.
it is more like q long. loose panel
than an apron. -.
Georgette crepe Is another mate
rial which combines very successful
ly with net. In many Of these sheer
frocks. ribbons OF any color the
wearer may fancy are arranged on
the foundation to add a touch Of
bright color to. the costume. In
other models, the color note is sup
piled by embroidery, usually in the
softest coiors to carry out the deli
cate beauty of these dresses.
