CONTRAST

That the terrible famine conditions
that obtain in Russia are largely
chargeablc to the political, industrial
and agricultural chaos and not the
drouth, as the soviet leaders would
have the world believe, is shown by
the current wheat production IN
France.
France has suffered not less than
Russia from the drouth that has been
general throughout Europe. But in
spite of the most adverse weather
conditions in recent times, the French
people are harvesting the largest srop
of wheat Of any year since before the
war. And It is only 10 per cent less
less than the average pre-war crop

1--WE Like People,"

We like to cheer them up in the cold
winter time as we'll as in the beautiful
summer time.
I'm the winter time there aren't so
many birds about, and it is nice for
us to do what we can to cheer people
up.
They're very good TO us, very good
indeed. SO many people give us bread
crumbs in the winter time, when food
is scarce and hard to get
And so we like to do what we can
for people, to show them we are CRATE
full to Them"
I'VE do, indeed" said Mrs. Chick
adee.
1T seems the Phoebe birds have
been telling others that the way to
know them is by listening to them
saying their name over and over
again.
1.-The Bobolinks have said the same.
What about us. Mr.. Chickadee?" Mrs.
Chickadee ended
"Ah," said Mr.. Chickadee, 1--WE like
to let them know who we are, too.
We are very anxious they should
know us, not only by our looks, but
because we, too, tell them our family
name.
"Over and over again we like to
say:
"'Chick ck-a-deedee-dee, chick-a-dee-
dee-dee,' so they will know we are of
the chickadee family.
''Then when they know who we are,
we like to show them how friendly we
are and how we like to be with them
in all sorts of weather. and in the
winter as well as In the summer
II think I'd like to sing a little song
about it."
DO" said Mrs. Chickadee.
SO Mr.. Chickadee sang this song:
When the winter is long,
We're here with our song,
When summer Is here,
We want to give cheer.
So all times of the year,
We're hopping about,
Singing that they never need fear,
And never need doubt,
But that well be around.
Quite near the ground.
On days of all sorts,

The black patches are soft looking and

I'VE wear simple gray suits and

I'm the winter time we like to be

We never grumble over the weather.
We can't understand how people can
grumble over the weather.
ITO us 1t is so foolish. The weather
Is going to do just what it wants to-,
In the first place, and isn't going to

ing to pay any attention to what any
one thinks.
Sensible creatures have discovered
that. And we feel we are sensible.

the demand for good-looking rain
coats that there is in England, where
women consider a smart rain costume
of real Importance.
But growing interest in rainy-day
coats is constantly developing here.
Some of our most exclusive American
firms brought over smart models last
year in rubberized plaid cloth with
small hats to match. They were so
expensive, however, that they were
practically prohibitive for the woman
of average income. Now copies Of
some of the best models from London
and Paris may be had at reasonable
prices. Among them are capes suit
able for wearing over a suit or heavy
coat in the autumn aE1 winter.
Some OF the new models in long
coats which French designers have
been working on so animatedly of
ate are of rain-proof tweeds and
sabardines, although these are not
quite as unusual and smart as the
silk raln-proof plaids in large, snowy
patterns on the order of the coats
worn at the French races.
There are number Of smart coats
of the deep-yoke sort with choker col
lars that start at neckline cut out
far onto the shoulders.
Peter Pan Collars Add Touch Of Youth
A simple evening dress of the fluff
fy, fuller skirted sort finds it's logi-
cal place in the young girls ward
robe, and an evening frOck Of more
tailored outline which is composed
entirely of ribbons, as well as
simple dinner dress with somewhat
high neck and short sleeves, and the
ever-useful navy blue serge frock,
the latter having a collar which is
a revival of an old-time favorite-
the Peter Pan collar.
Several collars of this type have
been noted on recent models. They
may be of the material from which
the frock is made or composed of
rows Of real lace. Often on a dark
blue or black dress they are of white
silk. They give youthful touch
and serve to vary the mOnotony of
a neckline which we have had for
some time.
There is a new shade of stockings
that will interest many schoolgirl.
1t is a very dark gray, almost black,
and In certain light shows tints OF

What sort of handbag shall be
