AUTUMN
BIZ d. C. PEATTIE.

1t must be an almost laughable sight
| to see, in the forests of Cochin China
our domestic chickens living wild in
the woods-for every domestic animal
had to come into existence as wild
thing somewhere. And no doubt the
rooster crows valiantly from the trees,
| and Is as familiar sound In the
jungle as it is in the suburbs.
But there is one bird that we may
carve about Thanksgiving time that
no one except the hunter needs as any
! thing worthy of second notice, and
! that is the mallard duck. Our COM
monest, though not all. breeds of
barnyard duck are derived from the
mallard, that bright and doughty fell
low that is found all over Europe, Asia
and North America. The male, with
his head and neck a glossy green with
purple lights. with collar of white,
and back of brown, shading gray on
the wings, and wing bars Of purple
bordered by black and white, the bill
greenish yellow and the feet orange, is
the most multi-colored, snug, SNUG,
any vain of all the feathered fellows
with webbed feet. It is astonishing
that he takes much interest in a mate
so much more retiringly plumaged, but
the Chinese consider him the symbol
of husbandly faithfulness. I am sorry
to say that while eggs are Matching, he
sometimes disappears in strange COM
pany.
The place to see mallards is down
river on the Potomac, where the wild
rice and pondweed grow. If you can
paddle a canoe very quietly amidst
the Sere and raSping stalks of wild
rice. you come on mallards often, at
this season. Indeed, in Spring they
make very little showing at all; these
weeks are the only time of year when
the bird-lover can get a good look at
the lovable mallard, and the bird
killer takes his pot-shots now from
some shooting-blind in the reeds. or
watches motionless by his decoys. Even
so, ducks can, during daylight, spend
an immense amount of time drifting
about in an uninteresting way, and
they have frequently exceeded by pa
thence in waiting for them to do some
thing amusing. The truth is that
they migrate and feed chiefly at night.
and because of the bitter experience of
their race they make themselves as
small as may be in the day.

BEAUTY CHATS
Back Views.

It Is needless to say again that the
back view is very important; in many
WAYS 1t is as important as the front
view, Certainly, on the average, as
many people walk behind you as walk
toward you, as many people look at
YOU from in back as from the front.
Your back should be as easily recog-
good looking.
You must take great pains to see that
your back is always nice-looking. If
you go sufficiently often to hair
dresser, the back Of your head will
always look well. Indeed, If you possess
the ugliest face in the world, there is
never an excuse for the back OF a
woman's head to be anything but at
tractive. Her hair can be nicely trim
med, properly shampooed, glossy and
we'll brushed. Then there Is the back
Of the neck. You should never let the
skin grow ugly here; you must rub 1t
with cold cream when you rub your
face and scrub 1t in your bath with a
bath brush and plenty Of hot soapy
water. When you put on evening
dresses, you must use vanishing cream
on 1t and powder, which means that
you must wear a light color silk scarf
to protect the collar Of your evening
coat.
If the back Of your neck is not good
looking, you have one blessed advan-
vantage-you can have all your dresses
cut high in the back and wear q collar
that comes at least part way up over
your neck. This season lingerie touches
on dresses are very fashionable, so even
your old collarless clothes can be al
tered and your back view smartened
by the addition of q fashionable collar.
You have another advantage this
season. Even the prettiest legs do not
look particularly pretty from the back.
The new evening dresses go almost to
the floor behind, and even day dresses
are well below the knees. The general
darker tone in stockings makes the legs
and ankles look slimmer-there Is
nothing worse than the rear view Of
fat legs.

addressed, stamped envelope, shall be

p. L. T.: An egg shampoo IS cleans
ing and also somewhat of q tonic for

that has made the fashion for wearing
inexpensive costume jewelry a happy
fashion is this very feeling that women
have about it. Often the imitation
glass jewelry looks better than
precious stones because the former has
been worn only with the dress for
which 1t is entirely suitable, while the
rubies, emeralds, diamonds, ETC., have
been worn with the conviction that
their intrinsic value makes them always
acceptable.
Lately, however, women of good taste
have come to realize that even precious
stones need the right setting. Instead
of wearing all their fine jewelry on
every occasion they think Of each piece
as demanding special treatment.
This weeks circular gives a sketch of
a smart felt hat of the new sort, off-the-
brow at the front and fitting close at
the back of the head. and with this Is a
diagram showing how an old-fashioned
felt cloche may be cut, pressed and re-
shaped into the new fashion. II you
would like copy please send stamped
addressed envelope to Mary Mar
shall, care of this paper, and it will be
forwarded to you.

A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Up!

up!
"when they are cast down, then thou
shalt say, There is lifting up."-Job.
xxi :29.
Or, as might be rendered, when the
paths are made low, thou shalt say
'Up!'"
Lies path does not always slope
Of life plunges downward into some
valley of adversely or into some valley
of the shadow of DEATH
There are stretches along LIES way
when the trend is upward, but there is
bound to be an occasional dip in tho
road.
In the course of life we are bound to
have some disappointments, some aflic-
lions, some sorrows. 1t is when these
experiences come that 1.-The paths are
made low" But we are not to be put
-ut of heart and lose hope because our
eaths "are cast down." In the midst
Of the most depressing circumstances
we are to keep brave heart, and say
to ourselves, "Up!" Let the heart say
"Up!" even though circumstances say
"Downl"
II we have had any considerable ex-
perienee in life there have been times
In the past when our path ran down
into some valley. But we trudged on
and soon came to an upward turn. One
has said, "It is the prerogative of ex-
perience to light up the future" If
we have been down before and got up,
we can do 1t again. Past experience
ought to make this confidence and hope
certainty.
why art thou cast down, o nv
soul?" Your path may be cast down,
but why let that cast you down? That
downward plunge in the road is just the
time when you should lift your heart
up and trudge hopefully on. when the
paths are low, then thou shalt say

There is at least one couple not to

the host, who ordinarily is a hail fell

These young people recently pur-
chased a new house in the suburbs. IT
Is a pretty, though not pretentious
place. The sort, you now, that young,
newly welded folks purchase with their
first money and hope to move from as
soon as the bank roll will stand the

There are many features about the
house they confess they do not like
but the place is not custom built or
made to order. It is simply one of
those nd-if-it-fitS-tak
home structures. 1t is fairly well built
and nvable. There is no billiard room,

couldn't expect it for the sum they
