mean we want to wait for everything,
but beautiful feathers and riches and
fame are things 1t is better to wait
for. ~
"If one has beautiful feathers and
riches right away they don't seem to
amount to so much. And fame doesn't
seem to be so fine unless it has to be
worked for, somehow" t't
II think you are right" said Mrs.
Richard Redstart.
"Of course" said Mr.. Richard Red
start, ~ call myself Richard Red
start, just as you do. And I call you,
Mrs. Richard Redstart. just as you
call yourself that.
"It is a fine name. But our real
family name is American Redstart.
We called ourselves by our other name
for little variety or change for our
selves. The family name has always
been American Redstart and 1t will
always be American Redstart.
"That is right and proper. but 1t is
fun to have our own little names for
each other, as we have. just as chill
dren have names for each other and
for themselves. such as Johnny and
Billy and Jimmie and so forth.

You understand that, Mrs. Redstart."
"Che-wee. I understand" said Mrs.
Redstart.

told her.

that" .
"No." said Mr.. Redstart. 'but you

low feathers are so bright. too. Yes.
even your feathers are brightr
"Not so gay and bright as yours.

Mr.. Redstart said, $50 let us admire
them. and spread our fine tails and
show them all off-all Of our feathers"
So once more they did as Mr.. Red
start suggested. and after that he sug-
gested it again and again. And when
Mr. Redstart didn't suggest 1t Mrs.
Redstart did. so they had a beautiful
time enjoying the bright, pretty feath-
ers which they wore and loved so
much!

That night Nancy went TO bed with

you to marry him." IS
Yes" Nancy's voice dragged.

sacrifice your life's happiness for mis-

the spirited old lady.
Nancy was very quiet the next day
or two, while the cake was cooling and
receiving several coats of thick white
frosting. There was no other deco
ration save the invisible one of Nancy's
secret tears and hasty kiss planted on
the slice that grandmother cut and
sent away to Bob Everett's Philadel-

The thought of Easter, and Maundy
Thursday, brings to the minds of many
the ancient custom, still prevailing In
England, of distributing aims or
Maundy money by the sovereign. This
money is given by the king to limit
ed number of his subjects on Maundy
Thursday.
The practice is an ancient one,
whose beginnings are lost in the haze
of time. Most collectors are familiar
with the coins which the king distrib-
utes on this occasion. They are coined
at the royal mint for this special use
and occasion only. They are usually
penny, two-penny, three-penny and
four-penny pieces. 1t takes the four

After the downfall Of the Roman
empire few CRATES were seen in Eu-
rope, so that in 1896 great sensation
was created In England by the arrival
of one of them at the Geological gar
dens. 1t was, led from the ship-land-
ing at Blackwell, at o'clock in the
morning, by -four Africans in native
costume" A mate was soon found for
1t, and for many years after that most
Of the CRATES exhibited in circuses
and menageries were born in London,
bur the circus men did not always
say so. BY and by, however, all these
died out, and no new ones were to be
had, so that for some years hardly
a single captive was seen in Europe
or the United States. This scarcity
was due to singular fact. All the
CRATES had come from, or by way of,
Khartum; and when, in 1870, the war
with the Mahdi in the Sudan began,
the supply was stopped.

bodice with elbow sleeves for a
frock with petaled tunic skirt of EN-
broidered wolfe or printed organdie
Two cOIors are combined ingeniously
in many organdie dresses and the
edges bound with organdie folds.
This material lends itself to trimmings
and organdy flowers deck out these
pretty, airy frocks.
Any of the sheer materials might be
worked out In the manner shown In
the frock pictured. The bodice, with
round neck, is extended below the
waist line at the front where 1t joins
a plain panel In the skirt. The skirt
is fulled on at the waist line across
the sides and back and finished at
the bottom with q narrow frill. The
frill is repeated on the skirt at inter-
walls and on the short, full sleeves.
They are gathered In about the arm
and finished with full 'rOsette of mar
row ribbon. A narrow, tucked girdle,
made of the material, is bound with
ribbon and ties in a bow at the right
side.

Five dollars was considerable money in

At the time he was presented with
