Gifts Made of Ribbons

No matter what duh or matter-of-
fact business may lead unwilling feet
along the ways of department stores,
something interesting is going to hap
pen once they are inside. For all
paths lead past the ribbon counter
those who know women and ribbon
plan 1t that way. Ribbons are the
one luxury that all women afford, and
she Is cold-hearted creature who
can pass them without lingering awhile
to look at the most beautiful and the
most splendid products of the looms.
They refresh the soul like flowers.
In June and In December ribbons are
at their best, for In these months peo-
pie make many gifts. Just now there
are displays that merit the name of
gorgeous, In which the richest ribbons
are shown made up into bags or used
to ornament palmer ribbons in girdles.
Plain satin and Powered ribbons are
chosen for exquisite corset-covers to
be worn under blouses of georgette
crepe or net. Breakfast and boudoir
capes are made of satin ribbon with

SHORE BIRDS ARE MYSTERY
Less 10 Known About Their Breeding
Haunts and Habits Than Of Any
V Other Feathefed Tribe.

Swift and tireless Of fight, late In
Gay, the hordes. of migrant shore
birds are gone as suddenly as they
appeared. No one sees them 60; prob
ably the start is In the evening. But
by the time we miss them they may be
q thousand miles farther to the north
that is, when they have really decid-
ed to be on the move. Previously they
may have fed leisurely along from
beach to beach, and marsh to marsh,
recuperating from their long flight
across southern seas. But now the YER
nal influence sounds the clarion call,
and they forthwith strike the real llmi-
coline pace.
Where do they go? Less Is known
about the breeding-haunts and habits
OF this mysterious tribe than of any
other In the system of ornithology.
While very few Of the species linger
on our southern coasts, the great mass
OF them to push on for the far north.
Nor do the bulk Of them stop till they
are where the curiosity of man can
beldom disturb their privacy. The eggs
and nesting habits Of a number Of
these species are hardly known to SCI
ence.x Their summer home is the bar
rem ground around the Arctic sea. In
the damp moss near some pool upon
the cold ground still frozen under
heath, in the early part Of June they
scratch a slight hollow, build a rude,
trail nest of grass and lay four eggs,
pyriform or pear-shaped, drab colored
hnd heavily blotched with black or

Finding 1t was useless to continue
the pursuit, and almost beside herself
with rage, the old lady shouted at the
