 Even the blessed miracle of love isn't altogether a spontaneous com busion-a thing which happens to you It's a thing you make happen by your deserving.
 No one has to sit and wait for things to come to her. Mostly they don't But anyone can have the fun of trying to make things happen-not necessarily to herself, but in the world about her.

 l ''No chance" returned Car1otta.
 When I got to the steps I found this l man waiting. He called me by name that he was the new chauffeur for l Mrs. Da1ton's new car and had come l to take us to Dreamwold.

 Then she brightened to ask: Funny about Tonys car. Do you think this can mean he's coming home soon?'

 What I wanted to say was: " For mercy's sake. stay in black, then, and don't go back to your f1abboyant col ors and checks"
 But one cannot 1unge at a good friend in matters of taste, so-with the cynicism born of my realization that Virginia keeps on the right side of successes-I found another angle of attack.
 ''You couldn't appeal more to Tony than by not looking your best. His friendship for me was born of the knowledge that I needed him. And nothing held him so strongly to Betty as his sympathy for her pride and the wounded arm which threatened to maim her. In Virginia's case there was her arrangement from Pat You see, Tony is the squire of dames-in distress"

 For you-yes,' I replied, sensing her argument. But you are just as much you when you're showing the tsweet, gentle side of your nature as l when you're insisting on being self sufficient and sturdy and independent Tony has always liked the black-and- white-che hecked-suited-and -red-saiIor- halted Carlotta. Now let's see how the slim flame of a woman encased in black clouds appeals to him. Carlotta studied me for moment. Then she turned and gazed out across the fields sIoping away on the right. Presently she turned back to me with her eyes wide and gentle. Ut wouldn't be posing? or exploit ing my loss? Or making the wrong sort of appeal-one that won't make him care for the best of me. inc

 And if you want further advice from the good fairies" I began, striving for a lighter note.
 But Carlotta would not be swayed from the deep and earnest sincerity with which she was revealing her self to me. She leaned forward with a passionate abandon of face and voice and cried:
 "Anne-do you think I'm some hor- rible sort of-superwoman vamp or something? Or would you fight{ as Pm going to with all your heart and soul and body? Would you ii you had to? Would you, I meanf supposing Jim weren't yours-sup1 5 posing he belonged to some other woman, or stopped caring for you or something absurd like that?"
 My hand flew to my heart. I felt my face blanch.
 Don't say such terrible things." I cried as if the mere suggestion were making it so. Then, recovering my self, I laughed meIodramatically.
 'sTd fight with tooth and fist and my dying breath for Jim.''
 We both laughed at the heroics in my voice and words and gestures. Then, initiating my manner, Carlotta cried:

Insect Destruction

Insect Destruction
 Remember the birds this spring. The possibilities of the increase of forest insects are so appalling that potent forces to keep them within bounds are indispensable; otherwise, insects might destroy all forest trees. The numbers of insect species that attack a single tree sometimes run into hundreds, and the individuals of each species if unchecked would soon number untold millions. Before such countless hordes man would be powerless.
 Vernin Destruction
 Mice and rabbits kill young trees by gnawing of the bark in winter, thus girdling them. Therefore, hawks, owls and other predatory birds that kill rodents and so tend to hold their numbers down perform an inestimable service in the forest Most of these birds nest in the woods, and although they hunt much for field mice in the open, they feed also on squirrels, wood mice and rabbits. Forest Guardians
 We can spray orchards and shade trees with poisonous insecticides, but we would stand aghast at the impos- sible task of spraying all the trees in all the woods. We must perforce de- pend on the natural enemies of in sects to protect our forests. Fortu- nately, birds and other foes of in sects, wherever their numbers are sufficient, act as effective forest guar dians.
 A NoiseIess Bird
 The plumage of the owl is so en- veloped in fine and downy fiIamc1ts that it's flight is noiseless. It takes it's victims unawares and therefore is able to overcome animals much larger and heavier than itself.-FTons Ths American Forestry Magazine.

Beamish to-day in the final round of
the Roehampton tournament after
hard extra set match. The score was

first set easily and getting quite a
lead in the second Mrs. Mallory ap-
peared to tire, and netting the ball
frequently. lost control completely.
She was greatly disappointed at the
result.
What will my friends in America
think?" she said. While the tourna-
ment at Roehampton was comparatively
of minor Importance the fact remains
that Mrs. Mallory's play of late has
been too erratic to make her favorite
for the British championship, which
opens at Wimbledon on Monday. Miss
Kathleen McKane is now the popular
favorite to beat Mile. Lehglen.
Monday will inaugurate the new
