One Mother Says:
My older boys built a bird tray
which they fastened to the library
window. All winter long we keep
a bowl of water, sunflower seed,
bread crumbs and chopped suet on
this tray, caring for it morning and
afternoon: 1 keep a bird guide and
as the birds come we observe them
and their habits, finding it a never
falling source of amusement.

Answer:
WHY not compromise and strike a happy medium be-
tween the flappe: and the old-fashioned girl? To be in the
fashion one need not be extreme, and there IS a wide differ-
ence in using a little makeup, thereby giving nature a help
ing had, and being painted like a jezebel. Also, there are
plenty of girls who keep up with the procession by stepping
out In long stockings and who wear a decent covering over
their arms.
II you are, as you say, a thoughtful, dignified girl, you
will be much improved in appearance by exchanging your
mothers style of dress for your sweetheart's because the
giddy style of glad rags and conduct do not belong to you.
They do not express you.

Answer:
The only way to deal with a crouch is to beat him 1T his
own game. Be grouchier than he is Don't try to pacfy him,
O. to get him in a good humor, but ignore the fact that he
is a prize gloom around the house.
There is nothing in grouohing II nobody pays any attention to you. OF
out at night go out yourself, and stay later than he does and when he
threatens to leave offer to pack his bag.
A crouch Is nothing but a big, cowardIy bluff. Call

Answer:
Back your husband into q corner, poor little wife, and
make him listen to you while you tell him that a sixteen
months-old baby is no more real society for you than it is
for him, and that you will go crazy unless you can have a
reasonable amount of diversion. Find some reliable person
who will stay with the baby at night while you and your hus-
band go to the theatre, or out to dinner, or do some other
amusing thing.

COVE COMMENTS.
By C. A. Renouf.

The Boy Scouts entertained at
the Cove Community hall last
Friday and there was a good at
tendance present. Harrison b..
White of Tacoma, chief scout
master presided. He questioned
the scouts as to their understand
ing of their obligations on good
citizenship, discipline and court
esy in life that constitutes true
manhood and marks the gentle
man from the Door. Lloyd Marsh,
scoutmaster, second class, gave
the word of command as the
scouts emerged from their camp
and the inquisition was on. John
King, A. Hotchkin, A. HalYor, +.
Steen, Amos Ramquist, G. Moe
and Lloyd Hansen successfully
passed the test an dacquired the
tenderfoot badge with which they
were duly decorated by Captain
McClinton with few well chosen
words to each. Others present
were Scout Danielson, Scoutmast-
er Paul Marsh, First Patrolman
Douglas McClinton and Scout c.
Petersen. An amusing feature
which provoked much laughter
was the boxing contest between
Torvald Steen, six feet six, and
Douglas McClinton, six feet, and
refereed by Albert Hotchkin. 1t
reminded one of the combat OF
Don Quixotc with the windmill
and finally ended with the laying
out of Douglas and Albert, while
Torwald stood triumphant over
the secene of the battle.
The farewell dance to Mr.. and
Mrs. Donald Dunn duly material
led Saturday night and was well
attended, especially by the ladies.
The music was furnished by Mr..
Seevy and two daughters, one at
the piano and the other at the

master with the mandoline and the
xylohpone added a zip to tn the
music and kept folk on the go till

Clinton dishcd the ice cream, wni,c
George Mclean with observant
eye saw to it that none of tie

luxury Mrs. w. " Crosier en-
gineered the whole thing with her
usual success. Those who missed

NEAR BANK ROBBERY AT
VASHON SATURDAY NIGHT
All That was Lacking was Several
Slippery, Sneaky, Skulking
Burglar Persons.

Vashon and vicinity was com
plctely fused up early Sunday
morning when the newly INSTALL
ed burglar alarm in the Vashon
State bank tugged at the pajama
sleeve of the president, 4. Hansen,
and yelled Help, help Burg
lars are busy at the bank Mr.,
Hansen, not knowing the mischev-
ious disposition of the new trink-
ct, spread the alarm over the tele-
phone. In few moments doz-
en- or move residents of the vicin-
ity were dressed, armed and on the
way to the bank. Z. C. Thompson
and Tim Clark from the west,
Charles Deppman from the north,
the Bealls from the east and the
Carvers and others from the south.
were soon on the scene. The only
thing that was lacking to make
some real excitement was the alb
sence of the bold, bad burglars. In
the meantime an alarm was sent
to the sheritf's office and by day
Light a speed boat with two depu'
ties had reached the island.
The next night, the next and
still the next the pesky alarm
put up the same "holler. Mr..
Hansen, never obese, has been
growing thinner and thinner from
lack of sleep and from anxiety.
Finally 0. S. Van Olinda, who in
stalled the contraption, spanked it
soundly and put it to bed. Since
that time it has behaved itself and
seems content to keep quiet until
1T is really needed.
