she has them painted to match the
Summer curtains so that they are
scarcely noticeable.
For the chamber window curtains
the clothespin clips are painted orna-
mentally, as well as in the nat tones, to
suit the different rooms. There are
tiny flowers on those for one cham
ber in which wee Towering sprigs are
on the wall paper. Just the flowers
are used on the clips. In another room
the flowers are of another hue, to
suit the wall paper there. The clips
have been SO handy for her that she
has sets now for every room.
The clothespins are not. OF course,
the ordinary sort, but the ones with
wire springs, making them work like
clips. They are inconspicuous and yet.
when noticed. they are Immediately
recognized as clever and ornamental
devices.
Another good use for these large
clips is as skirt hangers. Now that
separate skirts are popular with sport
blouses, skirt hangers are in demand.
They can cost almost nothing and be
dainty accessories, If painted as de-
scribed. Make two alike and tie them
together with a length of narrow rib
bon or fancy cord, SO that they will
be about inches apart. Use the rib
bon or cord to hang them up by. Two
clips are needed for one skirt. Fold
the skirt band and put one near each
end.

TO say that Johnny Wren was as

Jenny Wren had chosen for a

only was he astonished, but he
was upset-very much upset. 1t was
the fish basket or creel of Farmer
Browns Boy, and it was hanging from
nail in a post inside the shed at the
rear of Farmer Browns house.

There is something wrong with your
head. Who ever heard of such place
for nest? You can't build here"
Tut. tut, tut, tut! Who says
can't?" scolded Jenny.
II do" retorted Johnny.
Jenny merely tossed her head and
few out to look for material for that
nest. In a moment she was back and
opening in the cover made to slip fish
through. Johnny was SO disturbed he
forgot to sing.
'The idea Of choosing such a place
as this, when over in the Old Orchard
are houses built especially for us!"
sputtered Johnny. IF there were no
place else. this might do. AS it is, it
won't do at ALL"
Watch and see," retorted Jenny.
"You must be fooling," said Johnny.
"You don't really mean that you plan
to raise family in that thing?"
Something like that" replied Jenny
What is more, the babies are going to
like it. We are going to have one of
the best nests we ever have had. For
goodness sake, Johnny, do quit your
fussing and help me. Do you expect
me to do all the work?"

BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

bate. It Is illustrative Of how much OF
the legislation passed In this special
session has been handled.
Members of Congress, especially the
House, will be going home soon to face
these constituents. Where one will sit
down and write letter to Washington,
there are probably 10 back home wait
ing with a question. And unless all
signs fail, these members will do some
very serious thinking. When they come
back In January 1t may be that they'll
have an entirely different slant on
things.
That regular session, too, will per-
haps have more meaning to the aver
age Congressman than the present one.
There are no elections to be held this
Summer. There will be, following the
January session. And that vast throng
OF new members in the House. serving
their first terms, will be on the look
out
All Of which suggests that President
Roosevelt and the leaders Of the House
probably will not have as easy going
then as they are having now.
The real test of the leadership Of
Speaker Rainey and Floor Leader Byrns
will come. They will have big Demo-
cratic majority, but the chances are
they will not be able to manage that
majority as smoothly as they are now
doing.

They are really very large, rat-like
rodents, with long, naked tail. Their
heads are broad and blunt, their ears
hidden by the deep fur, and they are
supplied with very sharp teeth. All the
year round they wear two coats. The
under one Is dense and soft, the outer
one hard and glistening long hairs.
The parents are both dressed in dark
chestnut brown, with the underparts
brownish- white. The younger genera
ton has slaty brown suits at first.
This rodent is more at home in the
water than on land His undercoat pre-
vents the water from reaching his skin.
He is in reality giant mouse or a
small beaver. In the water, he uses his
compressed tail as rudder or propeller.
Along marshy ponds or in shallow
sluggish streams, the muskrat builds his
unusual dwelling. The material used is
mud and plant stalks, and these are
placed together in water about two feet
deep. When the home Is completed in
size, the builder goes below and makes
a tunnel upward into the great mud pile
Inside he fashions large room in

Never starch linen that is to
be stored for a long time, as it
Is apt to crack. Rinse the
articles quite free from starch,
dry and fold away, if possible,
In blue paper, as this keeps them
from turning yellow.
Before heating milk rinse the
saucepan with cold water and
1t will not burn.
A pane Of glass laid over a
cigar box in which seeds are
planted will prevent too rapid
evaporation. Keep soil moist but
not wet when growing seeds in
doors.
If at all possible, vegetables
should be cooked in their skins
in order to avoid removing the
valuable mineral matter directly
under the skins.
