and away before she could get near.
SO one day Mrs. Woodpecker be-
came very desperate and asked the
COLLINS to help her. II can't get him
to bring home a thing for the chill
dren to eat" she said, land they eat
so much I am just worn out. Do tell
me what to do. If l could follow him
and catch him at work then I should
be certain he finds plenty of food. but
I cannot prove that he does not, for
I can never surprise him.
The little goblin was sitting on a
rock out Of which he had just jumped,
and, laying a finger on one side of
his nose, he thought minute. II have
it, Mrs. Woodpecker," he said, jump
ing up. II will get the fairies to let
you have some Of the red like my cap.
You can paint his head red some night
when he is asleep, and with red cap
like mine you can see him anywhere
In the forest"
Mrs. Woodpecker went home with a
light heart and that night she met the
goblin, who had an acorn cupful Of
red paint for her. But the rest was
not so easy, for when she flew home
with the paint and tried to paint her
husbands head while he slept he kept
waking up and asking, "Who Is
tickling the top of my head?" and
poor little Mrs. Woodpecker could not
mark her mate.
But the next morning, just as he
was flying away. Mrs. Woodpecker
was so upset she lost her temper and
after him she threw the paint brush,
which struck the back Of her huS-
bands head and left spot Of red
paint.
OF course he did not know about
the paint and thought his wife was
cross, but there it was; and then Mrs.
Woodpecker followed and caught her
lazy husband, for now that she could
see him some distance away, she took
good care that he should not see her
until she was beside him.
It was no use to deny it now. for
she saw with her own eyes that there
were plenty Of insects and he had to
do his part after that toward support
ing the family.
And that IS the reason that Mr.
Woodpccker wears red spot on the
back Of his head and his wife does not
so the little bird from Birdland told
the story.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

Small service is true service while IT
lastS-W Wordsworth.
TT is at all times risky 10 recon-
mend anything. Yet in the very or
der Of things we all do recommend
the things we like to our friends. 1t
is too much TO ask us always to rec
onmend with reservation. We
should be quite stilted and unnatural
if we did that Perhaps it is a better
suggestion to say that we should al
WAYS take a recommendation with res
ervations.
If friend Of yours tells you that
she has found a good dressmaker she
really puts herself under no oblisa'
tons to prove her statement, but If
YOU should ask for the dressmaker's
address you put your friend under the
necessity of proving that the dress
maker is good. SO if you do ask peo-
pie to recommend anything, you must
show your good breeding by abiding
by the results without complaint. 1t
would be the height Of rudeness on
your part to criticize dressmaker
whose address you had asked for from
a friend who had told you about her.
If you do not agree with the friends
recommendation you are, of course, at
liberty never to have her again! or
course the dressmaker is only an eX-
ample and the same rules hold good
of anything that is recommended to
you-frOm q book to a new kind OF
breakfast food. You don't have to
take the recommendation. But II you
do it is the well-bred thing not to
criticize the result.
Some people give up recommending
books because those they recommend
them to do not like them. But one OF
the things that makes books interest
ing is the discussion they evoke. You
are not casting aspersions on a
friends taste when you fail to like
book that she finds interesting. So
discussion of book at somebody
else's suggestion is permissible.
The only thing that you ought not to
recommend unless you are willing to
{ake the consequences Is something In
which you have personal or financial
interest. But perhaps this admonltion
comes rather in the field Of ethics than
in the field of etiquette.

CECILY.

EClLY, though used interchange
~ ably with Cecilia, is an indie.
pendent name with an interesting
history. She comes, Of course, from
the great Caecilian gems which, curl
Ously enough, was named for a slow
worm, Il reptile supposed to be blind.
Gaia Caecilia is said to have been the
real name of the model Roman ma
iron, patrOneSS Of all other matrOns,
whose tomb is famous throughout
Italy.
Another famous Caecilia was the
Christian martyr, whose body was dis
inferred in perfect state after 200
years and enshrined in a church. 1t
is she who Is the patron saint of sa-
cred music. In her honor Philip I Of
France and William l of England
each named daughter Cecile. The
English Cecile straightway became
Cicely, and became enormously popu-
lar about the time Of the Reformation

Of Raby, afterward the duchess Of

vogue in England, where she was
known as Proud CHS. Her grandchild
Princess Cicely Plantagenet, was a

After the Reformation, strangely
enough, Cicely became a generic term

When it was revived it came forth as
Cecilia and was straightway contract

THE MARKED BIRD.

KTR. WOODPECKER is a marked
M Bird as you all know who have
seen him, for the red spot on the
back Of his head is plainly seen when
he Is pecking away at a tree, or even
if half hidden by leaves the red spot
Is pretty sure to be seen and to re-
veal his working place, even when the
sound cannot be located. Mrs. Wood
pecker does not wear this red spot,
for she Is the one who caused her
mate to be 50 marked. and why, do
you suppose?
Listen and I will tell you what Is
said about 1t in Birdland, for there Is
always little bird, you know, that
gives away secrets and that is how
this one was learned.
Long, long ago certain Mrs. Wood.
pecker, so the story goes, had great
deal of trouble with her husband, be-
cause he went away from home early
and stayed late and never brought
anything home to help support the
birdlings Mrs. Woodpecker pleaded
and peeped at this all in vain. Mr..
Woodpecker declared he could not
find enough insects for himself, let
alone bringing some home.
Little Mrs. Woodpecker tried to
watch her mate and flew after him

THE STANLEY
FURNITURE CO.

In a letter TO the editor OF this
paper, MI. M. M. Tatro, in speak
ing of the Stanley Furniture Com
pany, among other things, says:
While business conditions in the
country the past year have not
been as f%avorably inclined as we
could have wished, and while St.
Johnsbury has, of course, felt the
general depression, yet he hoped
and had every assurance that bet
ter times were coming back. Dur

Stanley furniture Company has
crioyed p remarkably good bust

in the towns around, would de-
mand the best the market affords.
] am sure my judgment in this
direction was justified and prov

Johnsbury, but from the neighbor-
ing towns in a wide radius, have
many new patrons come to us.
although we are n of the

Cur ambulance service, as every

MI. Iatro attributes the sue
cess of the Stanley Furniture
Company, in no small degree, to
the popular people he has assoc
lated with him in the enterprise.
Albert Juneau, the general manag-
er, is a born salesman, and he is
ably assisted by Claude Miltimore
and Earl Clark, and Miss Kate
Flynn, the cashier and bookkeep-
er, who is also a very successful
saleswoman when the occasion re-
quires. They make a working
staff of whom any concern may
well be proud.
Mr.. Tatro wants to thank the
patrons of the store for their lib
eral patronage. He said that as he
is able to be here only a part Of
the time he wanted to emphasize
the invitation to the patrons, es-
pecially those from out of town,
to make the store their headquart-
ers whenever they are here, and to
take time to look over the stock.

statement that st. Johnsbury IS

circle of surrounding towns and
that the stores here arc far above
