vey. Where the coast is rocky and the
soil Of ordinary character, conditions
are little different from those inland
and except in relation TO exposure
there need be no especial preference
given in the choice of plants. 1t IS
worth mentioning. however, that sew
eral trees and shrubs are better TO
withstand the winds so prevalent on
the coast. These include three species
of juniper, common barberry. English
thorn, hybrid crabapple, European and
American mountain ashes, smooth and
staghorn sumacs. privets, buckthorn
and red-berried elder. Where the soil
is chiefly sand, and that often shifting.

wELL-TAILoRED oNE-PIEcE DRESS.

dress is farther away from simplicity
than any other and we are looking for
further surprises.
Here is a frock of serge, trimmed
with silk braid, that scorns all in
hicacies in construction or decoration.
1t presents its straight lines, almost
unbroken from shoulder to hem, and
Its even rows of braid, sure of com
polling admiration. The devotee OF
the tailored suit will be easily recon
ciled to this aspirant for favOrs, i'm
place of the skirt and coat that have
held first place so long.
The usual order of things is re-
versed in this skirt, for it is fulled
into the waist at the front and back,
while the panels at the sides are
plain. The short bodice follows the
lines of the natural figure, and belt
is simulated by parallel rows of
braid stitched at the waistline. 1t
fastens at the left side with snap
fasteners and has an open throat that
accommodates a plain white collar
which may be of organdie or crepe.
The sleeves are'plain and are not mar
rOwed or widened at the wrist. This
IS in keeping with their finish of clean
cut rows of braid. Large, fiat pockets
at each side of the skirt are covered

time of year for many birds, and "a
plentiful supply of wild fruit will tide
them over. Fortunately, everywhere
in the United States there are some
fruits that persist until there is no
longer any need of them. If enough
are planted, no birds able to live on
this class cf food should starvc The
best of these long-persisting fruits are
juniper, bayberry, thorn apples and
related fruits, holly and snowberry.
Information on fruits useful for this
purpose in any section of the United
States may be obtained from the Unit
ed States bureau Of biological survey.
Birds deyour cultivated fruit prin-
cipally because the processes of cult

all outdoor life-or at least that sports
clothes will hardly he considered out
of place anywhere out of doors. They
appear to have made for themselves
II permanent place.
One of the new fabrics used for

several new fabrics, each with a name
of its own, that have made place for

In the suit pictured, the skirt is
made of "a cross-barred pattern in the
material in which bright colors are de-

sweater coat has wide shawl collar

buttons fasten the overlapping ends
of the belt. Just now suits of this

slRDHoUsE CONSTRUCTION.

Wood is a better building material
for lighthouses than metal or earthen-
ware. Entrance holes should be shell
Tered by projecting roofs to exclude
rain. All houses should be easy to
open for cleaning. A perch at the en-
trance is unnecessary, and may even
be an objection, as IL is frequently
used by English sparrows while they
twitter exasperatingly To brighten Off
more desirable occupants. To provide
for proper ventilation, row of small
holes is sometimes bored just beneath
the caves, but there should never be Il
ventilaing hole lower than the en-
trance, and joints should be made tight,
ms drafts of air are dangerous. In case
there is danger that rain may be
driven i'm through the door, a small
drainage hole, which will be covered
by the nest, may be made in the
middle of the floor
The appearance and durability of
houses are improved by a coat of
paint. A neutral shade of green or
gray is suitable for houses mounted in
trees, while those on poles, being CON
Spicuously placed lend themselves
tremendously TO the landscape when
painted white. Heads OF nails and
screws should be set rather deeply
and covered with putty.
In building birdhouses it should be
with the object of attracting particu-
lar species of birds, as the require

FEEDING FRuIT-EATINe BIRDS

Feeding fruit-eating birds is best ac-
complished by planting selected spe-
cies of fruit-bearing shrubs and trees
Through late spring and summer there
is usually an abundance of insect food
in addition To fruit enough for all the
birds. So far as fruit alone is con
cerned, fall is the season of overflow
ing abundance; in winter the supply
gradually decreases, and late winter
and early spring are the seasons of
actual scarcity. This is the critical
