Mitchell, MA, DISC, FRS, in his
Official Guide" to the London Zoo
says that 1.-The owls have the op-
portunity of retiring to shelter. but
Notwithstanding the popular belief
they pass most of the time in full
exposure to light, and are especially
fond Of ing%themselves."

AS Methusrlah, the Teller who
IA wrote the newest of the joke
books, once said, ''There is nothing
like culture for breaking up a home,
especially when the wife takes up soul
culture and the husband prefers agri-
culture. or something"
And the 100 per cent truth of that
statement certainly come right to me
coupla weeks ago when the subject
of Grand Opera and how to take it
was brought, not to say thrown up,
between and George. that's my hus-
band. The whole trouble started
through making the unusual statement
that for once the end of the month hal
found him not alone able to make both
ends meet. but that they had actually
Tapped over a little. In other words,
there was a piece of loose change in
the family.
And. says George Ia grand man.
ner, what say we invest this extra
jack in something that will give US
little pleasure instead of in something
sensible, Ell? And ] at once says oh
grand, dear, I do need a new dress.
And he says. said give us a little
pleasure. and 1 was thinking seriously

Mumble-I don't know, / haven't

Mutter-That's funny. This is a
crack train. They've got a crack en-
CINE, crack diner and a crack club
car, what more would you like?
Mumble-rd like to take crack
at the conductor.
Mutter-What did he do?
Mumble-He took my ticket.
Mutter-Well, what of It?
Mumble--Now 1 don't know where
I'm going.
Mutter-That's easy. all you have to
do is get off at the station.
Mumble-What station!
Mutter-Any ont, the train stops
at all Of them.
Mumble-Maybe It won't be mine.
Mutter-Then you can buy It and
make sure Of II.
Mumble-Where are you going?
Mutter-To Florida.
Mumble-Thafs coincidence;

Mutter--I wouldn't mind having a
cigarette, would you like to go into
the smoking car?
Mumble-No.
Mutter-Why not?
Mumble-It's too effeminate.
Mutter-Don't be silly, smoking

Mumble-Yes, so are barber shops.

Mutter-You shouldn't pick up ac-

Mumble-He's no crook; he comes
from a fine family.
Mutter-How do you know they're
a fine family?
Mumble-He showed me a picture
Of them.
Mutter-Who was he!
Mumble-You'H be surprised when

1t is possible, of course, to train a
child from his CRADLE to be alone in
the dark. 1t is not until a certain
degree of intelligence is developed that
childhood becomes fully aware Of the
multifarious emotions that surge up
in its mind when left alone in the i'm
penetrable blackness of an unlit room.
The little folk may be prepared in
advance for this time of trial by build
ing into the structure Of their develop
ing minds some such simple suggestion
as "The dark is kind of cosy, the dark
is soft and deep. The dark win pat
my pillow and love me as Sleep"
The simple repetition Of this rhyth-
mic lullaby win soothe many a trou-
bled little goul in sleep.
An exhibition Of paintings executed
entirely in flower juice instead Of
paints, has recently been made by a
young woman artist in London. She
has been using the petals Of flowers
instead OF oils or water-colors, for ten
years and in that time has completed
about one hundred pictures.
A Moonlight Sonata" was painted
with one single blue iris. and Poppy
land in Flanders" was done in black
berry juice. The flower juice sinks
in IN epaper, so that when the pic
lures are held near the eye, the design
is invisible. They have to be placed d
few feet away before their outlines
are discernible.

One solid stone of my foundation

with part of my housekeeping money

go to waste, as it would be practically
impossible to resell them. No, Geo.

was talking about but a Homecraft
Campaign and she got all agrog and
rushed in and read the letter and
says / was to reply to it at once and
promise them a article on acct. of it
being worthy cause, but wait MIN
ute, she says, it don't seem to me like
it was fair to write for the million
readers at the expense of your own
ditto, so why not just set down and
write whatever you have got to write
and send it to your own paper in
stead of them people in Des Moines?
So 1 have took her advice and will
try and tell you in few wds. what i
like best in my own home.
At the outset I would better state
that I design practically all my own
furniture and make most of it my
self with the set of aircraft tools that
was give to me last xmas by Pola
Negri perhaps through IN error in the
post office. One piece is a dining
room table made out of thin but dur
able rubber which you can stretch out
and eat off of at meal times by
means of center poles and stakes. Be-
tween meals it contracts to about 4 or
5 inches in diameter and just lays in
the middle of the floor like it was
something the cat brought in and
when unlimited guests comes to the
house along about a IL hr. before
dinner you just take them in the din
ing room and let them get the impress
sion that you amt got no table and
you would be surprised how many of
them gets disabused of the notion of
staying to eat when they think they
half to eat standing up.
Ny personal bath tub however Is my
favorite. Along side of it have built
boardwalk so that when it becomes
necessary to take bath l can pre-
tend like / am in Atlantic City rails
ing cain. In addition to the conven-
tional hot and cold water faucets
have put in Bird. faucet which you
turn it on and out comes a tape with
the baseball results, market reports
and big news Of the day. NJ soap
is made out Of the same kind of wax
they use in recording for a phono-
graph and whenever / think of idear
for a story or motion picture or
something / say it out loud with the
soap pressed to my mouth and it is
recorded in the soap which is then put
through hardening process so as the
reproducing needle won't tear it.
