UNUSUAL ROBIN BORN
ROLLTOWN. Pa, U.P)A
A white robin with pink eyes was
hatched recently on William Shar-

was born with three other robins,
but was the only one to have pink
eyes and pure white feathers.
Sharbaugh is endeavoring to raise

You will see these new spangled net
gcarfs in the smart shopS-filmy black
ecarfs, cleaning with silver or gold
spangles, and frothy white or pastel
toned net with metal spangles that look
like patches Of golden sunshine. Maybe
that does not seem to you an adequate
description, but you will at least agree
with us that one of these scarfs would
be worth possessing.
One woman we know who felt that
she really needed one Of these spangled
Scarfs and who didn't see precisely how
she could afford the price asked, re-
meHnbered that she had a spangled
cocktail jacket from which so many of
the spangles had strayed that it was no
longer of any use In its present form.
Besides, the spangled jacket was rather
old-fashioned In cut and she had worn
it so often that she could not endure
TO wear 1t again. Without much trouble
she ripped OF the spangles. then she
bought large square OF black net, nm
ished 1t at the four edges with q two
inch hem and then sewed q row of
spangles along the upper edge of the
hem and in crossing diagonal lines from
opposite corners. The result did not
look precisely like the scarfs had seen
In the stores, but It was a decided con-
sr1bution to her wardrobe.
Perhaps you can buy loose spangles
to use in this way on q silk net scarf,
but very few Of the stores sell them in

WINTER
BY D. o. PEATTm.

Clear, frosty air brings music over
the radio, as sharp and thrilling as
though we heard It In o concert hail.
So the dry, empty atmosphere Of O
clear Winter night is perfection for gee-
ing the stars, and, Of all the spectacles
in nature, the Winter heavens are de-
cidedly the grandeSt, In the thoughts
that inevitably they inspire.
To be sure, once saw the Northern
Lights in all their glory, on o date IA
nous in the annals Of the aurora
Borealis, August 13, 1919, on the sum-
NIT of Mount washington. But In the
aurora turks something supernatural
and rather terrible; the terrible element
of the stars Is fortunately hidden from
us; even telescopes do not enable us to
see the Keeling suns of space, with
tongues of flame million miles long,
though have heard it proposed that
the radio might enable us to hear the
roar of the flames in the furnaces of
our own private little sun. shall not
be 'tlisterAng in" when that Is broad
cast however.
Most Of us are content enough to
learn a few Of the consultations and
count ourselves wise If we can identify
two or three planets and as many Of
the fixed stars.
Although astronomy left the study Of
consultations as such way back in the
middle ages. having more precise
methods Of subdividing the heavens, the
mere mortal without the superhuman
extension Of telescope cannot do bet
ter than learn these grand old families
of stars"
Every one knows the Dipper QUAINT
American name, which would not ex-
change for the Plough" of the Eng
lish, still less the ancients' habit Of
calling it THE Bsar'O. The Little
Dipper, too, is easy to find and 30 is the
Dragon, which looks like a huge letter
s, and the tiny cluster Of seven called
the PleiadeS, while Orion Is decidedly
the most respondent constellation ia
the heavens.
1t is curious how friendly the heav-
ems look. when you have learned even
a few consultations. They remind you
of other times and places when you
have seen them. They bring back the
tang of some adventure, some Journey
in the night, some time you were lost,
or went gipsying into strange places
with light heart.
The astronomer asks US to remember
that the consultations are not made up
of stars bearing anything more than an
imaginary relation to each other. But
of seven stars that seem near together
and seem to form related group, three
may be near to us, two infinitely far
away, two in the middle ground, just
as a garden full of japanese lanterns
might seem to make clusters from GER
tain points Of view, although actually
not necessarily near each other.
Some of the stars, too, may be very
old, almost extinct, others young and
vigorous, while all of them may be
shooffno ayvav from each other IN va
riouw directions, up, down, toward us,
away from US, or at every angle. Only
their immense distance from us pre-
vents us from perceiving any motion in
them, except the apparent motion Of
the whole sky, IS our earth bali rolls
and pitches around the sun in an
ascending spiral.

Messalina Married Another Man While Husband. Emperor
ClaudiuA Was Absent From Rome.

The nth wife Of the Emperor. Clau-
dius, and the worst Of them all, was
Valeria Messalina, daughter Of his
cousin, Barbatus Messiah.
When he had Messalina put TO death,
Clatdits told his praetorians: "As
have been so unhappy in my unions, I
am resolved In future to remain un.
married, and II should not give you
leave to stab me-" OF course, he did
not keep this resolve, nor did his prae-
torians stab him.
Claudius had Messalina killed be-
cause he found out that while he was
absent from Rome she had had the
effrontery to marry his cousin, Caius
Silius, the ceremony taking place be-
fore a large number of guests, and a
marriage dover being formally signed
This crazy freak of Messalina's was In
dulged in, although she knew Claudius
was bound TO return and discover it.
Silius participated unwillingly, but
could not disobey the Empress He paid
with his life, for Claudius had him con-
demned 10 death. The false wedding
was the elimination of long list Of
mad acts by MesSalina.
Despite her. imperial position she
amused herself by roaming the streets
of Rome alone, COMFORTING herself as
II she had been q product of the gut
ters.
Terror seized her when she learned
that Claudius was cogriizant Of her
craziest prank. Ordered into The pres
ence Of the Emperor, she could not
make up her mind to go. but instead
retired into the gardens of Lueullus,
hoping that she might think out some
method by which she could restrain the
anger Of Claudius.
She thought Of suicide, but her coalr-
age failed her. Her own mother, Lepida,

Edom was not the only country that
sin has turned into "a land of silent
desolation." The history of Edon is the
history Of Sodom, Of Moab, of Damas-
Gus, of Assyria, of Egypt, OF Ethiopia,
Of Tyre, of Nineteh, of Babylon and
many other once proud states and
fiourishing cities. History tells the story
Of city after city, Of nation after ma
ton, that sin has long since buried in
silent oblivion.
This is something to which the rich
and powerful nations of the present
would do well to give heed. Sin can
silence music and mirth. Success and
gladness Of nation can be turned into
silent gloom by sin--the great silencer
