Yawning.

YaWn1nR.
Yawning is q Simon-pure reflex.
That is to say, the mechanism which
brings out a yawn is just naturally a
part of the nerve and muscle makeup
Of the yawner. When you yawn you
salute an ancestry that dates back a
few hundred thousand years at least.
Speculation about the why and
wherefore of yawning is one Of the ia
vorite indoor sports Of the evolutionist.
Why not say that yawning Is vestlgia!
mechanism which in its heyday served
the useful and fundamental purpose Of
taking in more air, in order to get more
oxygen, in order to supply more energy,
50 that the individual could run farther
and faster. Like swallowing, its busi-
ness was to take something into the
body, and then transform that some
thing into energy, according to the
indWelling laws Of the organism.
Sneezing, hiccoughing and coughing
serve the opposite purpose; they throw
something out.
II this Interpretation doesn't seem to
be an adequate one, all you need to do
Is to say that it is half brother to gap

his mouth open, thus trying to take in
better the meaning Of some unusual
situation. The gaper is trying to take
IN with his mouth what he cannot COM
prehend with his eyes. Gaping is vision

that we think requires an apology.

probably have but little diff

easily keep them. Being sympathetic

often made the confldante and counselor
of many who need cheering word.
Good food and its proper preparation
are seemingly Of great interest to her.
Modern dietetics with its scientific

her a studious devotee. 1t might be
that her hobby is the creation OF new
table delicacies, finding in the approval
of her friends and family q pleasing
reward for her ingenuity.
Perhaps she would find q larger and
even more fascinating field for her ad-
ventures In cookery by the operation OF

eral sizable fortunes have been made
by women in conducting tea rooms or
coffee shops. As the writer also seems
to have a well developed sense Of color
harmonies, 1t is not unlikely she could
personally devise and execute a deco
rative scheme which would make her
shop unique. In such surroundings
and with excellent food to offer, sue
cess might easily be achieved. Need
less to say, her pleasing personality
may assist in drawing a profitable

There seems to be tendency TO be

| II q sort Of nusery for flowers. Put
larger plants on the window sill. II Is
advisable to cover the sill with table
oilcloth to protect the paint and wood
Plants on the sill can be graduated in
size, from taller ones at the ends to
shorter ones in the center or they can
be arranged according to their beauty.
This would bring the plant which Is in
fullest bloom or which has the mos.
decorative foliage in the middle as q
center Of attraction. Flank this one
with the next attractive plants and so
graduate them.
Unless the homemaker wants to use
the window conservatory as q place In
which to start some of the plants for
her garden, it Is wise at this season to
buy those plants which are well started
in some greenhouse Choose those
which are In bud and viii blossom soon,
II flowers are wanted, as is usual.
Start seedlings In the pots on the up
per shelf and with these put some foli-
age plants to break the line Of appar-
emily empty pots which must depend
upon their own good looks to supply
ornament since the wee shoots viii
scarcely show.
Such window conservatories are deco
rative, gay and cheerful, but 1t must be
remembered that ornament has to be
stressed. and the window must never
be given over entirely to ordinary flower
pots and struggling plants. Keep the
ornamental feature Of the window al

who hunger for the return of Spring
can forward some Of its out-of-doorS
charm now while trees are bare and
lawns are brown.
A sunny window must be chosen for
the conservatory in miniature. Attrac-
tive pots lend character and color which
are rather necessary, for each element
has to be featured to get the best re-
suits in so small space. II the purse
is low, the homemaker can paint ordi-
nary flower pots and Saucers in nat
colors, not all alike, but in tones that
blend well when assembled. She can
even put bands Of contrasting color on
the painted pots. However, 1t Is pos
sible, if one looks around shops well,
to get inexpensive and attractive orna-
mental flower pots. Those In Italian
style are especially decorative.
Three glass ivy containers hung be-
fore the window, the center one higher
than the end ones, are dressy when the
ivy in them falls in long and short
tendrils across the panes. A glass shelf

CHATTERER WH1sKED ALONG THE

Of o day but a stormy day suits him.
He whisked along leaping from tree to
tree, until he reached the beginning OF
the Old Stone Wall along the edge OF
the Old Orchard. He loved the Old
Stone Wall He never felt safer than
when he was there. Bushes grew along
it to afford cover, especially in the
Summer. Then there were countless
places to pop into between the stones
If sudden danger threatened. Chatterer
knew every one Of them. He always felt
that there was no one to fear save
Shadow the Weasel who could, OF
course, follow wherever he might go.

Chatterer whiSked along the top OF IT

Halfway along the old wall he stop

make up his mind whether to keep on
to Farmer Browns dooryard or to run
over into the Old orchard. He could
hear Tommy Tit the Chickadee and
Yank Yank the Nuthatch and knew
that they were at feeding shelf put
up for them and kept always supplied
with food by Farmer Browns Boy.

nuts and though he was sure that no
danger was to be feared. he didn't fail
/ to use those bright eyes Of his. He
turned his head to make sure that all
was well behind him, and then, with a
shrek of fright he dived down between
two stones of the old wall, and he dived
just in time He had looked back
straight at two great feet armed with
long curved claws reaching for him
from above and just back of him. 1t
gave him a shock that made him trem-
