to cut out the incest, snuggest little
home that ever was in that old stump.
When the hole was finished they built
no nest. All they did was to make a
little bed of tiny chips and on this
little bed Of tiny chips Mrs. Downy laid
one egg. two eggs, three eggs, four
eggs. They We're the daintiest of little
white eggs. At first they would have
looked pink to you, could you have
looked at them, because the yolk could
be seen through the pearly white shell.
My. how proud Downy and Mrs.
Downy were of those eggs! MY dear"
said Mr.. Downy, 1--WE have such an
early start this year that perhaps we
can raise two families"

Women are well guided under this
configuration, which foreshadows sue
cess in certain important public
movements.
There is an encouraging sign for
love affairs tomorrow, which will be
auspicious for engagements to marry,
for women will assume the initiative.
Weddings should be fairly fortu-
nate, for while there may be a tend
dency toward dissension, there should
be progress and prosperity.
Persons whose birth date it is
should avoid all temptation to specu-
late. This is a year when it will be
wise TO listen to advice from women.
Children born on that date may
have an embarrassment of talents.
Early marriage in which there is a
practical life partner will go far
toward assuring success.

THE DIARY OF A
NEW FATHER
By BOB DICKSON.

Tuesday, pm.
When your wife is giving a party
and you do not come home from work
early to help her, she could just
scream because you are so thought
less, and when you do come home
early she could just scream because
you don't do anything but get in her
way.
But I only knew the first half of 1t
before this afternoon, and so / did not
have any more sense than to come
home early, and ] thought I was doing
her a favor by sneaking away from
work to help her.
I got home at o'clock, and Joan
was pushing the vacuum cleaner
around, and she had a towel or some
thing on her head, and your wife does
not look so pretty with a towel on her
head as she looked in the hat she
was wearing when you first met her,
and Joan said. "Well, what on earth
are you doing here at this hour?"

Getting Acquainted With Books
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Today it is impossible for a person
to read all the books that are being
talked about. Once the term "a well
read person" signiffed that the per-
son had actually read the majority
of books being discussed. whatever the
subjects. Then books were more in the
class of luxurious than now. Following
this came the period then the term

looked that old stump over many times
during the Winter. It was just the

| then, can a busy home-maber. for in
| stance. find time to know current lit
| erature?
| There are three outstanding ways
! of knowing about books enough to be
called a 'well read person. One is tC
| acquire the knack Of rapid reading
| This cannot mean that the book has
| merely been glanced at and that the
content is so 1umbled in the memory
| that its story or meaning is not grasp
ed. 1t means that thes reader finds
out how to read by paragraphs instead
of by words.
Knack Of Rapid Reading.
Every student knows that in order
Ia find out facts about a subject when
doing research work the eye must be
trained to catch in a fash the words
on a page that pertain to the data
sought. Then the gist Of the words
must be caught in a. mesh of under
standing without each word being
mentally pronounced. Many persons
who spend considerable time reading
prorounce-not audibly nor with any
motion of the lips, but mentally
every word on a page. This is des-
perately slow work and there is no
need to read at any such snail'S pace.
To overcome such a habit open n
book and glance through the para
graphs rapidly. Close the volume and
recall to yourself the gist of the
pages.
Acquiring the Ability.
After a little while you will be
amazed to find you can catch the
meaning Of an entire page or two
almost at a glance. This ability makes
q, l>,tS,v hnYfCnNUifn
to read many books and actually digest
them, especially when the books are
novels and not stiff scientific tones.
The latter often require long study,
but that is study and does not come
under the category Of current litera-
ture reading.
Special Reading.
1t is possible today to be well read
along special lines, and be eligible to
be called by the term in whatever
subject is chosen. There are persons
who are well read in botany, well read
in domestic science, well read on such
subjects as travel, history, poetry,
biography, recent discoveries in chem
istry, excavations, light rays. etc.
They may know very little indeed
about novels. SO flexible has the term
"well read" become that it applies to
special subjects as well as to current
books of various sorts. 1t is prefaced
however, by some such words as she
is we'll read on-naming the subject.
Knowing Books by Proxy.
Knowing books by proxy is another
method of acquiring the knowledge
once to be had only by the actual
reading of the volumes. One of these
methods is the reading Of book re-
views, and the other is by attending
lectures on books. In either of these
ways we can know the contents of
books, what their motives and charac-
ters are and what they are all
about" Many well read persons use
all these means. They read books that
are most worth while. They attend
talks on current literature. and they
scan the papers and magazines. The
latter method can be used to advan-
tage by every housewife. Thereby
people can be reasonably acquainted
with novels and books Of all sorts and
kinds.
