WHEN WE GO SHOPPING
BY MRS, HARLAND Fl. ALLEN.

you can determine accurately the
length of your plume by measuring
it from the stem to the very tip Of
the head; then laying 1t fiat and
measuring its width at its center.
''Willow plumes" are those In which
every little feather Is heightened by
other similar feathers, tied on by a
painstaking hand process. They are
long, sweeping, "willowy." Burnt"
ostrich result when the feathers are
treated with acid and glycerine. They
are most often used as aigrettes. You
can buy ostrich feathers not only as
plumes, but as tips, which are small
plume feathers; or as pompoms, or as
bands
Although you may buy feathers
plucked from a year-old-bird. they
will not be the finest ones the mar
ket affords, for beauty. and conse-
quent cost, and the plumage increases
from the first year on until the bird
has reached the fifth year. Some
times a single bird yields as many
as 800 feathers.
The growers use great care In
plucking the pIumes, SO that new
ones will grow. They do the work
at regular periods. Then they grade
the feathers, and finally sell them by
weight.
Since nature intends them to pro-
tect the bird in all sorts of weather.
ostrich feathers are suited to all
season wear.

The disagreeable Job

The disagreeable Job OF
changing feathers from one

.complished in a few minutes
with none Of the unpleasant
ness, IL the new tick is tied
securely over the opening OF
the vacuum cleaner bag. Make
a small slit in the old pillow
and hold the nozzle of the
cleaner close to, this opening.
Turn on the current and the
feathers begin to fly straight
from the old tick to the new.
Dishes that have contained
eggs should always be rinsed
in cold water before washing.

them slowly and they can be

The latter had only to pick UP nuts
and seeds and carry them to their
storehouses. Paddy and Mrs. Paddy
had first to cut down trees and then
cut those trees into logs. All this
they had to do before they could
store their food away for the VIM
ter. You know Beavers live on bark.
To have this bark where they could
get it when their pond was frozen
over they had to sink it in the water
SO that they could get to it under
the ice.
The work of the Squirrel cousins
was play compared with the work OF
Paddy the Beaver and Mrs. Paddy.
But the latter were happy in their
work. Their chief worry. was from
the fear that Jack Frost might cover
their pond with ice before they had
enough food. stored up to last them
all Winter. So they didn't waste a
minute. They took only time enough
for necessary sleep and to eat their
meals. They worked both day and
night.
There were Just three enemies they
had to watch out for These were
O'd Man Coyote, Yowler the Bob Cat
and Buster Bear. The last they
did not fear much; because they
knew he was nndlnE plenty TO eat
and was not likely to take the
trouble to try to catch them. He was
too lazy for that. But 1t was an
altogether different matter with Old
Man Coyote and Yowler the Bob Cat.
OF course, Old Man Coyote knew
what was going on. Little goes on
that he doesn't know about. Day
after day and night after night he
watched from a distance. He knew
that 1t was useless to try to catch
tthose Beavers while they were cut.

Little Ruth had been a very
naughty girl. There, was no denying
it, and she must be punished in a way
to make her remember not to do the
thing again So she was sent to bed
without any supper.
1t was Saturday. Daddy was home
and Ruth had to miss the usual happy
frolic with him as well as the supper
and the dessert-caramel custard, of
which she was so fond.
Ruth had been fractions all day,
but it was not until nearly supper
