MANDARIN DUCKS.

"You must be patient, my little son"
said Mother Mandarin Duck to her
little duckling.
The other ducklings were not talk
ing. Some had wandered off and some
we're busy thinking and talking of 9TH
er things One little duckling had
been asking Mother Mandarin Duck
great many questions. He had asked
her almost everything he could think
of and that was a great deal.
well, Mother Mandarin Duck" he
said, when do you suppose it will
be? When do you suppose, Mother
Mandarin?''
My little duckling," said Mother
Mandarin, you will not get your gay
and gaudy feathers such as the older
members of your family have until
you are two years old, that is the GUS
TOM
Il couldn't get them any sooner,

THAT wouldn't be fair" said Moth
er Mandarin, "for some of the little
Mandarins to get their gay plumage
ahead of the others, would it now, my
lover"
",That is true" said the duckling,

patient for MY beauty"

certificate and the suffrage amendment
Is now the nineteenth amendment Of
the Constitution.
''It was decided not to accompany
the simple ministerial action on my
part with any ceremony or setting.
This secondary aspect of the subject
has, regretfully, been the source Of
considerable contention as to who shall
participate in It and who shall not.

cess by which the new article 10 Of
the Constitution was presented and
ratified, naming the ratifying states,
and continues:

customs. They're old and they're good
and if we should change them every
one would be so confused. Just think
of the fussing and Tuning and con-
fusion there would be. They would
see a mandarin duck with his gay
plumage and they would think he was
two years old and if he was not two
years old and had them everyone
would be terribly mixed up.
1--WE must follow the mandarin duck
ways as they've been for years and
years, and the dear old mandarin
duck ancestors, or grandmOthers and
grandfathers and great-grandmothers
and great randfathers wouldn't have
started such customs If they weren't
right.
''You see, little duckling, we come
from China and Japan. Those are the
countries in which the Mandarin
ducks live. They have always been
called the mandarin ducks too-that
is our family name.
''Now the colors of a mandarin
duck are very fine. There is touch
Of green to the top of the head there
are reddish brown and green cOlOrs to
be seen in the back and about the body
as well as blue and all other cOlOrs
fancy. At least don't know the names
of all the colors. But we have most
Of them
Underneath we care for white, nice
and simple and pretty, and white
makes a nice contrast in the front of
our costumes to the gay coats and
hats we weari
hats we wear I mean the gay feathers
on our backs and heads. Now take
our neighbors in the zoo-the Aus
tralian stubbIe quail. They're brown
and they've speckled feathers.
They're safe here. for in the coun-
try they come from they are often
sought after by men with guns. They
belong to a small-sized family. But
while they're all right in their way
how dull they are compared to us!
Were so gay and bright with our.
plumage. Everyone wants to look at
us. And my little duckling, you must
be patient. For colors such as we
have can't come at once. We must
be patient when ahead of us there is
such glory If we only were going TO
have speckled brown coats it would
seem absurd to wait for them, but it
doesn't seem absurd for us to wait
for such beautiful feathers does it?"
'eNo," said the little duckling, "for
beautiful and glorious plumage Is well
worth waiting for"
'"That is the right idea," said Moth
err Mandarin, "and it is the same idea
as people have who are willing to
wait and be patient for success and
such things. If they can't get it in a
hurry they won't give up at once, but
they'd wait until they do get it
they'll wait and work.
"And so will we wait for our plum
age And while we don't have to work
we won't get discouraged and behave
badly but will wait With the right
kind Of spirit, eh. my little duck
ling?''
You're right, Mother Mandarin"
said the little duckling. "The glorious
plumage of mandarin duck is worth
waiting for !"
