Peter. Il wouldn't believe it until I
saw il done with my own eyes. 1t is
one of the most dreadful things | ever
heard Of
Tut. tut, tut. Peter. II isn't dread
ful at all. retorted Jenny. We have
just prevented those other folks from
ha wing lot of babies right around us.
All they had to do was to go build a
nest somewhere else and lay some
more eggs. There's nothing dreadful
about that"
II guess you would think 1t was
dreadful if some one destroyed all
your eggs" declared Peter.
Il would just like to see them try
it, snapped Jenny.
n thought So chuckled Peter.
Some one ought to try it so that you
might know how it feels. But l don't
see yet what you and Mrs. Wren have
done this thing for"
Room, Peter, room. II you're go
ing to bring up a family you must
have the proper amount of room to
bring that family up right. Supposing
three or four pair of rabbits moved
into the dear old Briarpatch, what
would you do about it?" said Jenny.
Drive them out" replied Peter.
There isn't food enough for half a
dozen families right around the old
Briarpatch. Baby Rabbits can't go
far to get their living. They have got
TO be able to eat right close to the old
Briarpatch where they will be safe.

Tut. tut. tut" scolded JENNY Wren.
Tut, tut. tut, tut. tut. That's easy
to say. but | would like YOU to know
that our babies have to be fed very
often and we can't fly any great dis
tance. We must get it just as near
home as we can. Now if a lot of birds
are hunting in the same place, il is
going to make food scarce. The
smallest ones are going 10 be driven
away. They are going TO have to 60
farther to get food for their babies.
Now, Mr.. Wren and l are too small
to fight very successfully with some
of the feathered folks around here.
But if we can keep them nesting
that is, if we can keep them from rails
ing families, they are not going TO
stay. So that is why we have some.
times destroyed their eggs. | suppose
you think we have done it out of pure
meanness. 1t isn't so at all. We have
done it just to make sure that when
our own babies come along we will be
able to take care of them properly.
After that we don't care how many
neighbors we have or how near they
may be-"
DO all House Wrens break the
eggs of their feathered neighbors?''
inquired Peter.
II don't know" replied Jenny. TT
is no business of mine what other
Wrens may do. L don't suppose all
Wrens do do it, but l know some who
do. If people don't like it, they can
just keep away. That is all Mr.. Wren
and / ask of them, just to keep away
We may be small. but we certainly
are not going 10 be imposed on. No.
sir. we are not going to be imposed
on Jenny fiirted her head and her
tail and looked the very pert, small
person she is.
Peter couldn't find anything 70 say
in reply. Jenny Wren had defended
herself and Mr.. Wren and 1t was plain
to see that she believed that she was
right. 1t also was equally plain to
see that it would not be at all safe for
any small feathered folk of a gentle
trusting nature to attempt to raise a
family in Jenny Wrens neighborhood
Il suppose" thought Peter to him
self, that she and Mr.. Wren are the
kind of folks who like TO be by them.

that, but / didn't suspect Jenny Wren
of it, because she is such a gossip
Dear me, what a pity it is that neigh.

With this Peter took himself off to
tell little Mrs. Peter all about it.

BEAUTY CHATS
A New Shampoo.

gasoline shampoo. | was ushered with
great ceremony into a special little
dressing room. to take off my hat, and
then with still greater ceremony into
another dressing room with wide open
windows, containing an armchair,
dressing table, and q large, very shiny
brass bowl sitting up on a tripod. The
bowl had a section cut out into which
ones neck fitted. ] leaned back
quite comfortably with my head
against the bowl, the attendant held
his hand against my forhead 80 none
OF the liquid could run down on to
my face, and then poured the con-
tents of a small bottle over my hair.
There was about a pint Of clear liquid
and he poured it slowly so it went
over all the hair and scalp and down
into the bowl.
The room was filled with an exceed
ingly strong smell of gasoline and
something fainter, which discovered
to be ether. What else was in the
mixture 1 have no idea. The formula,
said the hairdresser, was one of his
great secrets. AS soon as he had
poured the gasoline over the head he
gave it one brisk rub with the towel
just to be sure that all the hair had
been wet, then poured off the stuff
from the bowl back into the bottle and
showed it to me. II was extra ordi-
narily dirty.
That was all there was to the
shampoo. The advantages are that it

will, in fact, accentuate it by taking 2

Green Pea Entree.

Shell some green peas and weigh
them, using one quart. Put them into
a pan with one pint of water, a sprig
of mint, one young onion, a sprig of
parsley, one teaspoonful of sugar and
a seasoning of salt and pepper. Bring
to the boil, cover the pan and simmer
gently until the peas are tender. Re-
move the herbs, drain off all but q
gill of the liquid, and boil the rest
down little. Chop one-half a pound
of lean cooked ham or bacon coarsely,
fry in one ounce of butter, sprinkle
one half ounce of flour over, then add
it to the peas. Stir over the fire for
a few minutes, then dish in a gratin

Handkerchiefs Are Now Featured
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

The very latest fancy is to wear
handkerchiefs of the most exquisite
beauty, and sometimes of fabulous
price, tucked under an upper arm
bracelet. The handkerchief takes on
some tint in the costume, and the
bracelet often carries out this same
scheme. Usually a note in the trim
ming is the special bit of color that is
stressed. Or, if the costume is worn
out of doors, the tone matches the hat
or its trimming, Since the bracelet Is
worn so high on the arm the handker-
chief is above even long gloves. At
dance could any handler place be
thought of to keep it? OF course, such
a bit of exquisiteness must be abso-
lutely fresh and of the daintiest sort.
But who would think of giving such
accessories anything but such treat
ment? Many of them look like verfta-
BILE roses with their rare coloring and
petaled edges.
Indeed, at the present time hand
kerChiefs form almost as much a part
of a costume as do necklaces and
chains. These latter we have become
accustomed to considering chiefly from
the viewpoint of color. They are worn
TO accent a special note of color in
frock. to match the entire scheme of
a costume, to give a striking note of
contrast to an otherwise Intellectual
scheme or a rather drab effect OF
dress We find handkerchiefs worn
for easons that are similar, though
not precisely the same. You Will notice
that I used the word worn" instead
of carried" which is the usual verb
to couple with the accessory.
Worn With Pride.
tt ia because handkerchiefs really
are worn, not exactly carried. that
this verb is applicable. The up-to-date
mouchoirs are so exquisite that they
we'll deserve the prominence accorded
to them. With their petaled edges
they are as uneven as lace, and they
are almost as sheer. Often they have
borders of net with delicate traceries
of colored embroidery on them to
match the tiny squares of linen. silk
or batiste that form the centers.
Again these squares are trimmed with
net footing or lace. 1t would he impos-
sible. indeed, to enumerate all the di-
verse and novel fancies that are now
developed in handkerchiefs. for if the
shape or texture is not unusual, the
handkerchiefs of regulation shape and
size are apt to he in choice and artis-
tic shades. blended as in batit. or knot
tying, with flowers imprinted on
them, etc.
Not Tucked Away.
Surely it would. be a pity to hide
such beauty in a pocket, and so we
do not regret with these styles that
there are no pockets in which to put
them. We wear" them as part of
the costume, rather than tucking
them out of sight, to be glimpsed
only when required for actual use.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Fun in the House.

You can't bring up healthy, happy
children unless there is plenty of
room for fun in the house. Children
need to laugh at least once an hour.
That is the stingiest allowance pos
sible. jolly uncles and buoyant aunts
have been known to raise it to a laugh
a minute. But, of course, that was
for hilarious times on special occa-
sions. A happy medium for every
day purposes serves best.
One good way is to train yourself
and the children to bring home funny
stories. Encourage them to tell their
stories after dinner as they sit about
the table, or, if that is not practical.
during dessert. At first they will make
all sorts of mistakes, but you will
pass over them in smiling silence and
cover them with another funny bit
saved for the occasion.
I knew a little boy who seemed to
have no sense of humor. but who
conScientiously told his story every
evening. For months and months it
would be the same story, gravely and
carefully told. He paused for pune
tuation marks and looked anxiously
for the laughter that spelled approval.
1t came in gales, for the family could
not contain themselves as the same
tale came forth night after night with
classic. Here it is:
The teacher told the class to use
the word novel in the sense of tale
A bright little boy gave her this
sentence: Every night when l come
home my dog wags his novel at me- -
Can you imagine that story told
again and again with all gravity for
a month of evenings? 1t is now a
family classic and the boy laughs
most heartily of all. He has so many
laughs to make up, he says. Those
family laughs are the cement that
binds the group together in bonds OF
peace and happiness. Fun spreads a
warmth throughout the family that
years cannot chill.
OF course, there are many ways OF
making fun serve the children. There
are balls of all sorts, base ball and
tennis and hand ball and water balls
There are swings and soups and ham
mocks; sports and parties and enter
tainments of special kinds on special
occasions like birthdays. The greater
the share the children take in them
the more fun they have. The more
the grown-ups do the less fun for the
children. Do try to remember that
the cream of the fun is in the prepa
ration and the anticipation.
But don't have a sad and solemn
house. Keep the grand manner and
the grand furniture and all that goes
with them until the evil days come
when youth has no pleasure in them
In the meantime turn on the spigots
of laughter and let fun run free.
fMr. Patri will give personal attention to
inquiries from parents or school teachers on
she care and ID Gf we

SUMMERTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.
Duckweed.

The largest flowers in the world
are found in the tropics-blossoms
and feet across. But the District
of Columbia, along with other parts
of the country, to be sure, can lay
claim to having the smallest flowers
in the world-in fact, the smallest
plants in the world that bear any
flowers at all.
When next you cross a quiet bit
of water, look down from the bridge
or from the sides of your canoe and
you may see the duckweeds, floating
i'm tiny green islands on the surface.
You are looking at the smallest OF
all Towering plants. In fact. they
are often classed as green scum by
people who do not observe them
closely, although they are by no
means to be confused with real scum,
which consists of masses of tiny green
algae that bear no flowers.
The duckweeds do. however, have
true flowers, though frequently 1t is
hard to find any, made up of single
ovary and single anther.
What we see when we look at duck
weed Is generally only the vegetative
part of the plant, the tiny. fiat, green
body of the plant. no bigger than a
dime, drifting in dense colonies. Some
times there are a few faint nerves
in these bodies, showing the resem-
blance to a leaf. and sometimes there
are rootlets, dangling from beneath,
but often both roots and nerves are
lacking.
In one species the whole plant is
so tiny that 1t is but a little grain,
and, as it drifts beneath the surface.
it is hard to find, yet it has been
caught alive" right here in the Dis
trict by those who have eyes to see.
There is something really very beau
tiful about a miniature Sargasso of
duckweeds in the Anacostia River or
the old canal, for all they are such
little plants. The clear emerald green,
with the sun shining on them and
the water dancing under them, is a
sight not to be forgotten. Duck
meat is another name for these plants
and tells us in what esteem our feath-
cred brethren hold these delicacies.
