Colonial stvIes Endure.

In many parts of this country there
has been decided tendency among
manufacturers Of furniture to comb
European mansions, palaces and
museums for possible inspiration In
the domestic arts, apparently obllyi-
Gus to the fact that we have in Amerl-
ca what generally is considered one Of
the most graceful simple and beautl-
full types Of decorative art-that Of the
colonial period. That this style Is
authentic and of intrinsic value, artls-
tic and useful, has been abundnntly
proved.
That manufacturers have been wise
in modifying extreme period designs to
meet modern conditions In this coun-
try seems pretty well established.

THIS BIRD REAL P0LLYANNA
Ne Imaginable Adverse Circumstance
Can Keep "cucuboro" From His
Fit of Laughter.

The real Pollyanna Of the feathered
tribes has just arrived at the bird
house In Central park, for IL any one
can bear up under the name of Cucu-
boro and still keep cheerful, It shows
one of those persistently gay natures
that nothing can mitigate. OF course,
Cucuboro has won a better deal from
the public at large than he did from
the ornlthologists who saddled him
with his gloomy scientific appellatlon,
for the people of Australia, where he
comes from, recognize his propensity
to Keep Smiling" by calling him the
Laughing Jackass."
And, equally, of course, he has
earned this soubrlquet, for he Is re-
ported to thrive on vast quantities
OF water-no matter what other bever-
ages are available-and to have n
habit Of laughing before he gets up,
an hour or so before sunrise. Now,
any one who can laugh an hour be-
fore dawn on just plain water-even
Pollyanna and her followers never did
anything so blatantly cheerful as that.
This kingfisher bird, for that is his
family, Is sometimes hailed as the set
tiers clock, because Of his regularity
In bursting out into spasm Of wild,
ribald laughter that surpasses any
alarm clock in rouslng the inhabitants
Of the Australian bush, while 1t is
more than probable that a relapse
into this fiendish merriment that takes
him about sunset serves for the dwell
ers In the hinterland as a dinner bell,
cathedral chimes, and factory whistle,
all In one. They show their gratitude
by making pet Of him and protect
ing him in his merry chorus-New
York Post.

In the Dusty Old
Carrot
BY FREDERICK HART.

A~~NN~~~~~~~N~ ~~EE
q. 1921 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
The garnet was very old and very
dusty. Through the little dormer win
dows the sun streamed in long, slant
ing lines in which danced millions of
tiny golden notes. In the shadOwy re-
cesses were queer, dim objects; a
spinning wheel, Il collection of old
trunks, some broken furniture. Sure
ly there was no more desolate part Of
the house than this
Yet on this particular Saturday
afternoon there were signs of life in
the garnet. First the trapdoor at the
head of the stairs had been raised
and with great caution head had
been inserted into the room-the head
of young man, and a very handsome
young man, too; but as there was NO
one to see except few ancient spi
ders, his good looks went unapprecf
ated. The young man had entered the
room quietly and gone to an old trunk
In one of the dormers; there he had
remained for long time, sitting quite
still and looking out through the dusty
panes.
At last the young man rose and
stretched himself Then he spoke, In
a voice that was defiant. Apparently
he was addressing the spiders.
II don't care" he announced. Let
her go riding with Peter Westbrook II

This defiance seemed to make him
more cheerful, and he began to rum
mage about the dusty place. In o
few minutes he had unearthed mum.
Der of ancient habiliments and was
clothing himself In them. From O
dusty recess came long-sklrted coat;
from another a cooked hat; and In a
long box low down near the rafters
he discovered an old dress rapier.
When he was clad he turned about
admiringly, trying to see himself.
"I'll bet I'd have knocked them dizzy
In George Washlngton's time" he
chuckled, staggering up and down
and bowling low to an imaginary COM
paniOn. Then he whipped out the
rapier and exclaimed: "Ods bodkins,
sir! And do you dare to insult the
fairest of the" slight sound made
him pause. He listened intently. 1t
was repeated-some one was certainly
coming up the garnet stairs! In u
