connection with birds; less than with any other of Gods outdoor creatures. Even scientists seem to have known that to tack a ten-syllabled word onto a little bit of feathers and song no bigger than your thumb would be too incongruous. The guests return to the hotel with an awakened interest and a better appetite. Somehow, for the rest of the day, the caprices of some pretty widow in the house are less 7 absorbing; all minds are on birds, and this is good for them.
 The second morning the number who trail their little guide to the haunts of the birds is doubled. In few days those who can ride follow l her on horseback to woody spots more remote.
 | Birds, trees, wild flowers and foliage, better health, new interests in l life, no more boredom, love for all nature and a protective interest awakened; Mrs. Fry claims to be no l missionary, but one can plainly see i that unconsciously her pupils are lin- l ing themselves up with those who re- ] gard a dead bird for millinery pur- i poses as a symbol of barbarian.
 When winter comes, and those who 1 look out-of-doors see only ice and snow, and fail to take note of the anil | mated bits of feathers hopping around ! in search of food, Mrs. Fry conducts classes of students to the woods and makes them acquainted with the birds i whose love for our section is not of 1 the fair weather variety.
 It is an everyday sight in winter | to find her in Central Park, New York, seated on a rock with a group of eagereyed children surrounding her. They have colored cards in their hands, and as they trace points of re- senblance between the pictures and the inquisitive birds percned so de- liciously near, they, like the womer in the hotels, are learning more thar 1 birds. There is a spiritual growth ir a class like this of which no human ] being can take measure.

Conclusions of Notes-To settle a friendly argument, will you please in form me if am committing breach of etiquette in concluding a note to a club friend of mine with the words yours as always? (Answer)-No breach is committed. The term you use is employed between women friends and between relatives. With all best wishes," Yours as ever,'' "Affectionately'' are also terms used by such groups of writers.
 Receptions-How soon should I is sue my cards for a reception? Would two days before the selected time be within the bounds of propriety (Answer)-Cards to a reception may appropriately be issued five Or ten days or a fortnight in advance of the settled date of the reception. A re. ception is scarcely considered cere- monious when cards for it are posted but two days before the selected after noon or evening.
