Anxious Couple.

In this matter Mrs. Paddy agrees
with Paddy. They always have believed
in preparedness. That is why they al
ways lay in a plentiful supply Of food
in the Autumn and carefully and fire.
uuently inspect their dam to make sure
that it is not weak in any place. Then
when their pond freezes over they know
that no matter how hard the Winter
may be they will not suffer for lack Of
food, and no matter how bad the
Spring freShet may be, the chance of a
break in their dam is small.
When Old Man Coyote started down
the Laughing Brook. as if going to see
if Little Joe Otter was playing on his
slippery slide, Paddy swan straight
home. Mrs. Paddy awoke as he entered
and she knew at once that Paddy
brought disturbing news.
What is it, my dear?" she asked.
"I have Just seen Old Man Coyote
and he told me that Little Joe Otter
had slippery slide down the Laughing
Brook, where the water is so swift that
it does not freeze" replied Paddy.
Mrs. Paddy was wide awake in an in
slant. II didn't suppose that fellow
was anywhere about here" said she.
Neither did l." replied Paddy
10 you Cnlnk ne Will poIner us!
asked Mrs. Paddy.
IF he is hungry enough he will" re-
piled Paddy. ut all depends on
whether he is suffering from hard times
as Old Man Coyote and some of the
others are. If he isn't. he will leave
US alone. If he is. I fear we are in for
trouble. You know, my dear, he is the
only enemy we need fear at all at this
season, for he is the only one who can
get at US. He can come right into this
house If he wants to, for he is as good
swimmer as either of us, or better
And how that fellow can fight! But

~ NE Of the features of home
decoration which should be
stressed is having conveniences
~ lend their ornamental notes.
The house which is fitted up
with useless decorations savorS too
much of a show window where articles
are on display for selection. Perhaps
some of these articles, such as pictures
and bric-a-brac, will be recalled, and
their usefulness questioned.
If these serve to lend warmth to
walls by their color, or to mantelpieces,
If they break the monotony Of other
wise uninterrupted spaces, If they
fascinate by beauty Of line or form, they
serve one of the essentials of decora-
ton in making interiors attractive. A
certain number of such things are not
only permissible but necessary. But
apart from these there are too often
numerous articles which do not even
serve such needs, and also useful
articles which are totally lacking In
any decorative element.
Let us take some concrete examples,
Any box will do to hold stamps, but
There are stamp boxes so exquisite that
they add their share to the attractive
ness of writing tables and desks. But
unless they are actually useful, unless
stamps are kept therein, they do not
fulfill their purpose. Cigarettes come
in wrappers that are sufficient for their
specific purpose, However, they are
blemishes as far as ornament is con-
cerned. To have good looking Gig
arctic boxes is not a drain on ones

he never has bothered us and he won't
now unless he is half starved. Anyway,
we must be prepared"
Right, my dear" replied Mrs. Paddy
promptly. IF he finds us prepared he
is less likely to attack than If he sur
prises us unprepared. When he sees
how big and strong you are am sure
he will think twice before making any
trouble"
"If it was just matter Of strength
I wouldn't fear him." declared Paddy
mo, sir, I wouldn't fear him. But he
is SO much quicker than that he has
the advantage. But we are two to one
and that makes difference. He might
attack either of us alone, but doubt
if he will attack when we are together.
Together we ought to be able to handle
him"
II should hope so," said Mrs. Paddy.
80" continued Paddy, 1--WE must
never give him chance to get either
of us alone. Well keep together. When
we are here in the house, one will keep
awake while the other sleeps. When we
want food, we'll go out together for it.
When there are bare sticks to be added
to the dam, We'll take them there to-
gether. I would feel better If I knew
| just how Little Joe Otter has Jared
during the hard times every one but us
appears to be complaining about"
Don't you think that there are more
fish than usual In the pond?" asked
Mrs. Paddy
II haven't noticed. What If there
are?" replied Paddy.
Little Joe would rather have fish
than anything else, and as long as the
fishing is good he isn't likely to bother
us, is hep" said Mrs. Paddy.
Paddys eyes frightened. THAT is
true, my dear I hadn't though of it,"
he replied The snow and ice may
have made hard times all through the
Green Forest, but that doesn't mean
that there are not as many fish as
usual. Well hope for the best, and
meanwhile we'll be prepared for the
worst"

have peen the only ones let in on the
secret. They were enjoying their re-
mast while the others were founder
ing about in the elegant room up
stairs.
The real guests must enter side
door. The hallway is mere tunnel
and so narrow that the guest when
entering scrapes her back against the
stigma, which is hanging down. Then
she has to pass the open anther,
which lies close to the ceiling Of the
tunnel. The signs then direct her to
the nectar well, which is at the very
base of the sepal. The guest helps
herself, and when ready to leave her
hostess she must go out another way.
The reason is this; The stigma and
anther are pointing downward, and
this made 1t easy for the guest going
in, but stood in the way If she tried
to leave this way, so an exit was ar
ranged that the bee might have a
convenient doorway by which she
could leave.
The arrangements OF the sepalS and
petals are such as to deceive the un-
desirables, and while they 60 in the
beautiful flower and look around they
do not get into the doorway leading
to the nectar. The bees are never
mistaken about the right entrance and
always enter properly. This bee seems
to be the one necessary to the blue
flag.
In France this flower is called the
fieur-de-lis and is the national flower.
There are many varieties of this flower.
It is easily grown and very snowy.
The wild flags are pretty. The stem
is often three feet high and several
flowers are at the summit Of each
stem. The leaves are dark green and
erect. It flowers in the Spring and
is found in some form all over the
United States.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
By HERBERT PLUMMER.

commission which hopes to make the
observance Of George Washington's
200th birthday anniversary this year
"the greatest show ever held"
Now, 1t so happens that Byrns Is
member Of the Bicentennial Commis-
sion as we'll as chairman of the COM
mtttee which gives it money to keep
going. IL
A man of deep sentiment Che likes
to recall the days when he was a
barefoot boy in the hills of Tennessee),
Bicentennial idea. But, too, being a
man who thinks this is a time for
economy In government, he coolly
Topped off $177,000 from the sum the
commission asked to spend the re-
mainder of this year.
On the floor, when the Bicentennial
appropriation came up a half-dozen
members jumped to their feet and
began firing at Byrns.
He stood his ground bravely for a
while. Gently he rebuked Huddleston
of Alabama for his 'materialistic"
views. Patiently he endured the chiding
of La Guardia of New York, who thinks
the commission Is indulging In too
much ballyhoo. Warmly he defended
the commission against charges Of
commercialism. But the critics finally
just about showed him under.
In the midst of the verbal barrage
! the chair announced that his time had
expired. Byrne turned as If to take
his seat, but Immediately there was an
extension of time granted, over his
feeble protest. Then more questions,
more pointed criticism.
Vainly he scanned the floor for the
face of Representative Sol Bloom Of
New York, director of the Bicentennied,
but Bloom was not there. He had to
take it alone.
And he did-through many more
trying minutes.

Dry Shampoo.

Dear Miss Leeds: Please suggest
dry shampoo for auburn-colored hair.
I do not like orris root, as it does not
agree with my scalp. MISS E. F.
Answer-You may use equal parts of
bran, coffee and cinnamon as a dry
shampoo for your hair. Shake the
powder through the entire hair gener-
ously, then brush the powder out OF the
hair, strand by strand, and cleanse your
scalp with good tonic. You may also
run a piece of cotton dipped in tonic
on the hair and brush the hair again
with a clean hahbrush. Use this dry
shampoo and scalp tonic method for
cleansing your hair between your regu-
lar -andwater shampoos. There
are numerous commercial scalp tonicS
that you may use or you may make
your own of the following ingredients:
Two ounces witch-hazel, one dram pow
dered borate of soda, one dram bicarbo-
nate of soda, two ounces of cologne wa
ter and two ounces bay rum. Shake
well before using. LOIS LEEDS.
Dear Miss Leeds: Do permanent
waves and scalp treatments tend to
make blonde hair darker? / have
blonde hair which is growing in several
shades darker than it used to be few
years ago. I am thinking Of getting a
permanent wave and taking few warm
oil treatments that my hairdresser ad-
vised me to take. What Is your opin-
ion? READER.
AnSwer-H your hair is dry and life
less, the warm oil treatments, together
with the scalp massage, will be helpful
to recondition your hair before another
permanent wave is put in. 1t Is natu-
raj for some types of blonde hair to
grow in darker as one grows older, but
you may bring out the light shades by
careful shampoos and special rinses
! Ask your hairdresSer to give you a
blonde rinse after your shampoo and
scalp treatment. LOIS LEEDS.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROwLs.
Queer Persons.

You have seen hobos and tried to
listen to dreamers. These are queer per-
sons. In order to understand them, you
must first understand how they got that
way.
For long time all queer persons were
described in psychological circles as
split personalities" OF course, there
can be no such thing as an actually
split personality. What you have is a
psychological being who in trying to
solve his personal problems hits upon
the scheme of running away from them.
But these so-called split personalities
are not entirely able to quit the world
in which they were brought up. AT
least few old habits cling to them.
Those who run away from lifes
problems can run in only one direction
This means that they must specialize
on one form of behavior, such as being
misery about money. So they hide their
money, or they make collection OF
neckties, or they merely walk along the
road talking to themselves.

1~HE writer Of these forceful lines
is apparently woman OF mucn
energy and ambition. Her fund
L of physical vigor Is seemingly
unlimited. Witness the vitality
IN the determined manner IN Whlch
the thar is formed.
We should expect to find her a
leader in the activities in which she Is
interested. 1t Is likely she Is engaged
in some business venture OF her own,
as her dominant nature could not Jake
orders from others easily. II she en-
ploys assistants, it is probable she
demands the best of them in effort.
Shoddy, half-done work would appar-
emily irritate her, while "loaf1ng on the
Job" would seemingly most certainly
be disapproved. Demanding much OF
herself, she possibly might be severe
with subordinates.
In her social life, it is likely she has
a wide range of interests. The theaterr
and bridge might claim a large part OF
her play hours, Musical shows would
probably be preferred rather than the
heavy, morbid themes of some popular
playwrightS. Travel pictures ana
travel lectures would apparently of1er
her stimulating diversion.
The detached &C" and III would tell
us that she is probably not of a do
mestic type. FuSSiness and feminlnlty
in the makeup of her surroundings
would possibly not be welcomed. She
apparently, however, has a great ad-
miration and love for Oriental rugs. She
possibly has read much on their his
tory, finding in this study an intrig-
ueing hobby Were she at some time
to engage in the operation of a small
salon for the sale and exchange OF
oriental rugs, it is not unlikely she
would find an almost perfect blending
of her business acumen with her
knowledge of Oriental coverings Need
less to say such a venture might be
both profitable and pleasurable.
