Handsome, Happy Chicoree.

did you ever see q happier fellow
than my cousin. Chicoree? demanded
Linnet the Purple Finch Of Peter Rab-
bit, as they watched Chicoree coming
toward them. I'll venture to say that
he has been having such good time
that he hasn't even thought Of building
a nest, and here half the people in the
Old Orchard have grown families. I've
got a nest and eggs myself. but that
madcap Is just roaming about having a
good time. Isn't that 30. Chicoree?''
rIsn't what so?" demanded Chicofee,
perching very near to where Linnet was
sitting.
isn't It true that you haven't even
begun thinking about q nest?" demand
ed Linnet.
"Quite true. but what Of it?" said
Chicoree. There's time enough to think
about nest-building and household cares
later. Meanwhile Mrs. Golddnch and
are making the most Of this beautiful
season to roam about and have q good
time. For one thing. we like thtstledown
to line our nests. and there isn't any
thistledown yet. Then there IL no sense
In raising q family until there IL plenty
Of the right kind Of food. and you know
we Golddnches live mostly on seed. Just
as soon as the children are big enough
to hunt their own food they need seeds.
30 there Is no sense in trying to raise q
family until they can ind plenty OF
seeds when needed. How do you like
my summer suit. Peter"
TITS beautiful" cried Peter. THAT
black cap certainly Is very smart and
becoming"
Chicoree cooked his. head on one side
the better to show OH that black cap.
The rest Of his head and his whole body
were bright yellow. His wings were
black with two white bars on each. His
tad was also black with some white on
it. In size he was q trife smaller than
Linnet and altogether one Of the smart
est dressed Of all the little people who
wear feathers. It was a Joy just to
look at him. II Peter had known any
thing about canaries, which, Of course.
he didn't because canaries are always
kept in cages, he would have understood
, how Chicoree Is often called tho Wild
Canary.

electric cookers to the homemade sort,
indeed. An electric cooker, which is
the last word in hreless cookers, will
bake, roast, boil or fry without first
partially cooking the food on another
current from an ordinary electric-light
socket, and the imprisoned heat cooks
the food. All utensils are of aluminium
The covers are close fitting and have a
V-shaped water seal groove, which
greatly aids in the retention of heat.
These f1reless cookers are made en-
tireiy OF stamped metal and are insu-
lated by windings of asbestos paper,

wires and connections, is located below
