PHOTOGRAPHER OBLIGED

In London recently at smart
wedding the bridegroom kissed the
bride just before entering the
bridal carriage, for the accom-
mediation of the newspaper pho
tographers. One disconsolate
newspaper man missed the "shot"
and explained his dilemma to the
bridegroom, the latter readily as
scented to repeat the kiss so that
the photographer would not be
called on the carpet by his editor
for missing the picture.

DADS ATTENTION


Borrow one!. Borrow one, if
you haven't one yourself. There's
always an exception to every rule,
always an excuse for occasional
ransgressions, and so though
borrowing is seldom to be recon-
mended, this time it is perfectly
permissible. Therefore, borrow a
boy, if you haven't one yourself,
for Monday night, May oath is
the date. This is Boys Night at
Home, the Day of Days in Boys
Week, when the grown man can
entwine himself in the boys heart
most successfully, for on that
night he is asked to be a
Regular Fellow" with the boy.
If You are fortunate enough to
have one or more boys in your
home, try to make it gala time
for them. Forget that you are
centuries older than they! Forget
that you have all the wisdom that
Solomon overlooked Forget that
the financial columns of the news
paper are the most interesting to
you and remember that the sport
ing page has the latest political
intrigues and the Dry VS.. Wet
question dashed to the mast for
thrills.
There is much to forget when a
cut and dried man tries to soar to
the level of live and loving boy!
But Boys Night is the time to try
it. Perhaps ybu have looked long
for the fountain of youth; and,
failing to find it, have accepted
the next best thing by allowing
the barber to perpetrate all the
facial outrages he can think of to
restore your baby skin, or you
may even have descended to the
colored-collar stage, overlooking
completely the surest youth re-
storer in the world-Your Own
Boy. Books and poems have been
printed and interesting drawings
made of father and son who are
Pals" but it seldom exists in
real life. There is always too
much of the mentor-master-m
not attitude; too little of the
chum, champion-cheese-it, hart
mony stuff.
Rub it all out on Boys Night
at home and start all over again
to make yourself a hero and a pal
in his eyes, as well as a father.
Lest you go too far afield and
founder in the depths, here are
a few hints given gratis, to help
you in making the night a great
success.
Order just what he likes most
for dinner.
At dinner, let the talk be boy
talk; give him chance to express
some of his ideas, he has many
more than you know of. During
the evening be a source of inter-
esting information and true
amusement to him.
Shed your crust and don't be
afraid that your heart will die of
exposure. Show him the same
sort of affection you lavished on
him when he was an adorable
baby. That means that giving him
good hug and kiss doesn't
mean that you have turned soft"
When he goes TO bed. be sure
that his dreams will be of dad. a

their first blow in the expected cam

with the home authorities of the
four provinces and it is no easy task
to keep in touch with their govern

But though his neighbors didn't like
him, they were forced to admit that
he was handsome. He was so hand
some that they just had to look at
him, and, of course, this was just
what Ringneck enjoyed.
OF course. all his neighbors were
very anxious to know where lilng-
neck came from. But they didn't find
out anything from him. He didn't
seem at all anxious to tell where
he and Mrs. Ringneck came from. II
was Tommy Tit the Chickadee who
told how the Ringnecks had arrived.
Tommy had happened to he in the
Old Orchard when early one morn
ing Farmer Browns Boy brought a
box out there and opened It,. Out
walked Mr. and Mrs. RingneCk. That
was as much as Tommy knew. and
that was as much as any one ever
found out.
Now, as a matter of fact, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ringneck had no business in
America. America never had been
| the home of the Pheasant family.
Like Bully the English Sparrow and
Speckles the Startling, the Pheasants
had been brought from across the
great ocean by men. They were
brought here to live in order that
hunters might shoot them in the name
of sport.
Mr. and Mra. Ringneck had acted
from the first as If they owned the
Green Meadows and the Green Forest
and the Old Orchard. This was espe
cially true of Ringneck. There wasn't
a bashful feather on him He didn I
care what other people thought about

him so long as they admired him:
He appeared to think that ne had
a right to anything he wanted re
was for all the world like Bully the
English Sparrow on large scale, and
YOU know Bully never has been pop
ular.
1t soon was clear that the Ring
necks didn't care for the Green Forest:
They preferred to be on the edge OF
the Green Meadows or In the Old
Pasture. Sometimes they went into
the Green Forest. but for no great
distance. This was rather relief
to Mrs. Grouse, for she didn't ike
these newcomers at all
Bob White didn't like them any
better than Mrs. Grouse. You see,
he found that Mr.. and Mrs. Ringneck
lived on much the same kind Of food
that he did. and he saw trouble ahead.
The Pheasants were bigger and
stronger, very much bigger and
stronger, so they could drive others
away. MY dear" said he to Mrs.
Bob White, II hope the Ringnecks
do not have a big family. If they
do have big family l see where
we will have to work hard to get
enough food to bring up our own fam
ily properly. There Is plenty for all
when food becomes scarce ! am afraid
we Bob Whites might have hard
time of it. Certainly. / haven't seen
anything about RingneCk to lead me
to believe that he would share his
food with any one else. He is one
of the most selfish people ] ever have
seen. He's looking out for No. /.
you can he sure of that. | don't see
why he was brought here. | don't see
why these men folk cannot he salts
fed to leave things as Old Mother
Nature designed them. They are for
ever upsetting things
Meanwhile Ringneck and Mrs.
Ringneck were perfectly satisfied
with their new surroundings. and
Mrs. RIngneck presently was seen
only once in while. Every one
guessed what that meant. She had
a nest somewheres. Jimmy Skunk
spent hours looking for It.
