Our Best Little Imitator

The catbird is SO called because the
note by which he is most commonly
known is like the meow of cat, bu'
as a matter of fact he initiates almost
every other sound he hears, says the
American Forestry Association. OF
Washington. whose nation wide bird
house building contest is attracting
attention to the country's fcathered
host. 1t has been said that the, catbirG
can initiate anything from a squeaking
cartwheel to the song of thrush. He
sings along apparently without knowing
what he is going to improvise next. In
color this bird is rather somber, being
dark gray with black cap. He is one
of the most common birds throughout
the United States, although rare west
of the Rockies.

try it first on an unexposed portion
of the waist to see if it takes the color
out. You might use little soap and
water on the stain first. Then if this

TN Nankin, China, city near the
Great Wall, the court which ap-
proaches the inn is used as door
yard and barnyard. The inn itself is
like a large compound; it contains
a one-story building with many
courts. Each room is furnished with
a Kang, which is placed in station
ary position, either across one end
or a side Of the room.
These Hangs are Chinese beds;
they are usually from four and one
half to six and one-half feet wide
and about two feet high; they are
walled in with brick. The Chinese
usually build under the K'ang brick
hearth, upon which a fire is made
during the winter.
The K'ang is covered with a reed
mating and on this is set low bam-
boo table. Each room is usually fur
nished with a second table about
three and one-half feet square, two
chairs and two small stools or
benches. The floors of the rooms are
brick and the windows and doors are
paper covered. Meals are usually
served in the room.

Some Aduce Giuen Girl Who Vas Bothered the Train
by Man Who Ought to Kno,v Better

NOT so long ago there came to the
page letter from young girl who
had been annoyed by the attentions of a
married man who happened to go to
town each day in the same train as she
did. His remarks were extremely dis
tasteful, more like those that might
come from a flippnnt and rather dsre-
pectful youth than those beftting
more or less elderly gentleman, to whom
carpet slippers and grown up sons and
daughters ought to be more or less be-
coming.
Now there are two ways to get rid of
these obnoxious attentions. First, alb
solutely ignore them. That is, to con-
trive some sort of an unstudied way to
get on different car each morning and
thus cut off any opportunity for CONVEX
sation. The second way is to do little
missionary work for all the young ladies
to come and lead the gentleman gently
but firmly back into the fifties, where he
belongs.
To lead a man back into the safe dig

a girl has only to do one thing. Assume

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

- Dnhs dSHlUu ldih W OFeHCc hOS6
TT WOULD be difficult, I am sure,
for any one TO say from what source
the term sports clothes was derived,
but for several seasons it has been used
to great extent in describing fashions.
Last year, however, it was not con
sidered correct to speak of this sort Of
garment. There were. of course, such
garments worn. but they were not in
high fashion. This year the term
sports clothes is again with us and
is II definition of plain clothes. in bright
colors, or different combinations from
those usually worn.
We have all become educated to the
fact that sports clothes do not mean
those which are worn for golf, or
even for tennis, but for dressier type
of clothing when a woman just wants
to look we'll and at her best.
