Bird club
N otes

Christmas is coming and what
are we going to do for our birds
who are Drawing the winter and
staying with us.
1t is much easier to tame them
by feeding them than by putting
salt on their tails. 1t is fun, too,
to watch them as they feast on the
daintics we put out for them.
Suppose we had to live outdoors
all winter and all our food was
covered with snow or frozen up,
wouldn't we be everlastingly thank
full if someone would hand out our
meals for US?
All right, then, boys and girls,
don't forget nor neglect to see that
the birds get their Christmas dim
ner, OF Christmas tree whichever
you like, and by the way they
would appreciate meals at other
times, too. A dinner on Christmas
doesn't last all winter by any
means.
But for Christmas, if you invite
the birds for dinner be sure to
spread the feeding tables out OF
reach of the cats. Shelves up high
on posts or in trees will answer.
Heap the shelves with apples
and cabbage leaves, dry cakes,
bread and boiled potatoes, sum
flower seed, wheat, cracked corn,
ground oats, oatmeal and scraps
from the table. Such food our
winter birds think makes a feast
fit for kings.
If it is to be a tree, warm some
suet and stick it full of seeds and
nuts and bits of meat, or melt
some tallow and mix it full of
things which birds like, seeds or
crumbs and boiled potatoes. This
will make the finest trimming that
was ever put on a birds tree.
Stick it to the trunk, on the limbs,
everywhere but be sure it is out of
the reach of cats.
A little suet or tallow goes a
long way and it is no longer expen-
sive. Try it and see how friendly
PUG sociable the little timid crea-
lures soon become. 1t is no end of
fun to watch them and then it
makes us feel good when we make
any Of Gods creatures happy. 1t
is good for us too, the exercise
and the enthusiasm give us bright
eyes, rosy cheeks and healthy
bodies. Try it and see for your
selves.

What Harding Will Get

When Warren &. Harding takes
possession of the White House
March 4, next, he will find that the
chief executive of the nation does
not fare so badly after all, in many
respects. He will receive salary
of $4,000 a year, and another $685.
600 for travelling expenses; a home,
rent free; furnishing and mainten-
ance for his home; private room
IN the Capitol building; a number
OF the finest automobiles American
factories can produce; private de-
tective force; a force Of so police
men to guard the house and grounds
a private art gallery; a score Of
greenhouses to keep the White
House decorated; a private yacht,
a personal physician, naval and mil
itary aides and the hest brass band
in the world.
In addition, the chief executive
of the nationis supplied with a com
plete retlnue private secretaries, a
barber, a disbursement officer and
a social secretary for the first lady
of the land.
The president has the right of
way wherever he may go, a private
entrance to the Union station in
Washington, private train when
ever ne wants it, a private box at
the theaters, membership in the
best clubs and receives hundreds OF
more Or less useful gifts, ranging
rrom rare books and jewelry to prize
turkeys and hogs, pumpkins anc
quilts.
There is nothing niggardly about
the appropriation made by Congress:
for the upkeep Of the White House
Including furnishings, repairs, hea
and in fact, everything except what
the Presidents family cats.

Avoid Trimming in Choosing Suit

In choosing coat or suit, avoid
garments having much trimming;
the inexperienced shopper does not
realize that her money goes for dec
Grafton rather than quality, cut and
finish. A garment which has been
made of good material, and which
is conservative in cut and color will
look well as long as it holds toget her
and will probably continue in style
for years.
Young and slender women are
more easily fitted than those who
are older or heavily built. The
latter type should study the effect
of the garments which she tries on,
rejecting those which exaggerate
her breadth or curtail her height.
Semi-loose effects are best for
stout figures, as they hide rather
than reveal the extra weight. This
is especially true when long lines,
produced by seams or pleats, are
carried down from the shoulders.
Coats are cut in so many ways at
present that it is difficult to specify
but few general rules can always
be followed and the careful woman
will soon understand he lines which
improve her figure.
