Deacon PhiIlipe Pitched Forty-Four Innings in Contest Between
 Pirates and Red Sox.

Despite tho fat that he pitched in over the Giants, Urban (f.ed) Faber fell just IT innings short of equaling the all-time 'iron man" record for worlds series.

 Faber will deserve the tribute that goes with winning three games in the series, and takes his place among a select few who have done this same thing.

The Sign of the Purple Parrot
 &
 By Hilda Morris
By Hilda Morris

Clarita Evans had always loved birds, ever since her childhood on the farm. She used to spend long hours alone in the woods, watching them and trying to initiate their calls. Later, some one gave her bird book, and she learned to know their scientific names. When she went to college she took a course in ornitholOgy, which she en- jOyed more than any other part of her work. So when her father died sud denly, at the end of her sophomore year, leaving her with no relatives and only a little money, she resolved to start a bird store in the city.
 Clarita had ideas. A number of her friends had started gift shops and tea rooms which were more or less 'ar- tistic.'' Clarita visited all such shops that she could find, noting their clever decorations.
 T don't see why bird store can't be as-attractive as any sort of gift shop" she argued. "Mine shall be, so that all the old ladies in town will want to give canaries to their grand childrei. for Christmas"
 It proved to be an attractive shop, as different" as the most modern dec orator could wish. After all there is nothing more decorative than birds, with their bright colors-or else why should we so often see them drawn and painted? Clarita's real birds, ar ranged among green plants, hung against gray walls, in quaint Japanese cages, furnished all the edcoration one could wish. The dove-gray sparrows with rose-colored bills hung in the win dow, and an artist friend of Clarita's painted a gay wooden Shingle with these words: saThe Sign of the Pur- pie Parrot'
 The shop succeeded of course. Peo- pie always come to stores that look

MORE LIGHT BY USE OF
MIRRORS

For the room that is too dark,
too small or too irregular in shape,
there is always A first assistant in
the art of reconstruction to be had
in the ever-obliging mirror. One
can find mirrors that viii fit into
any part of a rooms wall space. that
will harmonic with almost any col
lor scheme.
Beginning with the room that
seems too dark, one can easily solve
the problem Of introducing more
sunlight, or daylight. at least. by the
proper adjustment of a mirror or
two. These should be hung opposite
the windows. where they viii reflect
stray sunbeams, or where brilliant
colors that have been used in the
room will be reflected. A small,
rather dark library. furnished and
paneled in dark wood, had three
small easement windows at which
were hung curtains of terra Gotta
silk. On a table near the fireplace
and on one of the low bookcases
stood great brass bowls of the
orange podded flower, sometimes
called Japanese lanterns" A wide
seat beneath the windows held
green or terra Gotta silk.
Opposite the windows hung mir
ror, which measured about four
feet in height and about one foot
and a half in width. In it were re-
fiected the light that came into the
room, the colors Of the curtains, and
one of the brass bowls. In a sec
ond mirror, hung opposite the fire
place, were reflected the other bowl
with its orange flowers and the
painting of a gay procession which
was hung over the fireplace. Thus
there seemed TO be no absence of
light, and the room was filled with
color.
The room which is too small
needs mirrors more than any other
room, for a carefully placed mirror
will bring all outdoors into the room.
Hanging the mirror opposite a win
dow is a good plan; but if one
wished 10 give a feeling of space,
the mirror should be hung where it
will reflect a picture of wind-swept
plains or great mountains. The re-
Election OF the picture is often more
potent than is the picture itself in
bringing the outdoors into the small
room, since in the reflection the pic
ture is apt TO seem more real. Hang
ing a mirror opposite a door which
can be left open makes the room
seem larger and, also, relates the
room 10 the rest of the house In
this way, a small hall may be made
part Of the rooms into which il
opens, or, as in one successful in
stance a small room can be made
an actual part of the garden, just
outside its windows.
The room Of irregular shape needs
mirrors. since one which is hung in
a corner that juts away from the
rest OF the room will reflect the
room and so make the corner part
of Il. Mirrors hung in the larger
part Of the room reflect the corners,
and so bring them into relation with
the whole.
