SPRINCTIME
By D. c. PEATTH.

The cheerful robin of the first Spring
day has become almost joke. or at
least a synonym for juvenile and more
or less groundless optimism. But it
has always seemed to me that he was
entitled to his optimism, since he is
undoubtedly the most successful of all
the perching birds. His range in Win
ter extends from the Gulf of st. Law
renee to the West Indies. He eats any
thing from beetles to berries, and who
has not seen him Juggling on a worm?
Though not q great fighter, he holds
his own in good style-witness his NUM-
bers. You cannot think of any species
Of land bird that has better adapted
itself to environment--which, in ma
ture, spells success.
True, its early appearance here in q
nice, bright red vest, all newly fur
bished, tuning cheerful lay, is not the
result of haste to return from the
tropics, as some are apt to teach you,
but due rather to the fact that he
has-at least In the case Of the earliest
individuals of his species to appear
never been away. Now over your lawn,
over the greenery Of the Mall, he hops
as II little springs were In MS heels
and r1ingleS with the tree toad's eve
ming trilI his famous song of cheer up,
wake up, get out Of bed.
His song at once proclains him Of
that eminent musical family of the
thrushes. So, too, does the speckled
breast Of the young male.
The original robin, for which ours is
falsely named, is a bird Of Europe no
larger than a sparrow, with q much
brighter spot of red, and that upon his
throat rather than his breast. His song,
though sweet and tuneful, Is q small,
twanging little affair compared with
that of our fine singer. II the robin
were as rare as a hermit thrush, there
would be more poems to celebrate his
vocalizing.

cakes, cookies or desserts used
during the Spring season, when
fancy foods are desired.
Moss in lawns may be gotten
rid of by providing proper drain

The raked-out spots should he

When roasting meat, turn 1t
with q spoon instead Of q fork, as
the latter pierces the meat and
lets the juice out.
Badly stained knives may be
made to look as good as new by
rubbing them on charcoal.
In case of fire, wet silk hand

mouth provides complete security
against suffocation from smoke.

Boxfuls of Dressy Expressions
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

If you want to be distinguished, never
allow the corners of your mouth TO
of something pleasant and make your
eyes reflect your inner happiness. Do
nice things for others. Think of what
kind thing you can do to relieve some
one who needs heartening. Don't
frown as you think You are making
ready to bring cheer TO another, so let
it show in your expression. Never carry
about in your face any troubled
thoughts. They depress others.
Try to bring a smile to anothers
face. You will soon have boxful of
dressy expressions yourself, for they
come from q kind heart.

Twtxt Man and Man or Bear and Bear.
Old Mother Nature.
She didn't say anything about an ex-
change between Cat and Bear, but the
truth of the saying would hold Just as
good in that case. In fact it did.
When Yowler the Bob Cat reached his
home in the lodges deep in the Green
Forest he received one Of the greatest
surprises Of his whole life. Yes, sir, he
did jr t that. His home was occupied!
He didn't even have to look in to know
who had taken possession of it. There
could be no mistaking those big foot
prints. And who but Buster Bear could
have dug away the snow and ice around
his entrance? Besides, did he not know
that Buster had been driven from his
own home under the big brush-pile?
FOWLER lost his tempter right on the In
slant he made the discovery.
He screeched, and when Yowlef
screeches it Is q screech. There was
rage in it, and there was fear in it
for YowIer is far from being brave.
There was more rage than fear, how
ever Buster Bear, who had Just
dropped OF to sleep, opened one eye,
grinned and in two seconds was asleep
again.
"Robberl Thiefl Get out Of my
housed" screeched Yowler.
He snarled between screeches. He dug
his claws into the snow crust and tore
it up in big pieces. His anger almost
choked him. He looked like a living
fury, If you know how q living fury
looks. And all the time Buster Bear
slept peacefully. He was quite satisfied
with his new home and not even a
screeching Bob Cat could disturb him.
Now screaming threats was all that
Yowler dared do, and threats are In
themselves quite harmless, especially
when the one they are aimed at doesn't
even hear them. After while Yowler
realized this and with parting snari
turned away. It was he and not Buster
Bear who now had to find a new home.
He had actually skunk away some dis
lance before he remembered that
Rabbit. He went back, quickly picked
it up and hurried away. In a thicket he
stopped to eat his dinner. It is queer
what difference good dinner makes
in ones feelings. Yowler came out of
that thicket, sat down, washed his paws
and then his face just as Black Pussy
might have done, looked back toward
his home in the lodges, drew back his
lips in a SoundlesS snarl, and then
slipped away like gray shadow in
the growing darkness.
