Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

the duckling is about 6 weeks old it
does not seem to know how to evade
these enemies.
Ducks are very talkative, once they
feel safe behind the tall sedges that
are filled to the bending point with
delectable seeds, and there is so much
food to be found in the shallow waters.
They jabber, splash water at each
other, play tag and tip up. There is
always leader. He directs the flight
to and from the South, as we'll as
water sports. 1t is he that gives the
signal when the duck hawk hovers
near. Often the travellers make ex-
cursions into wheat fields for scat
tered grain.
Ducks are very inquisitive They
are even fooled by the stupid little
drab decoys floating and bobbing
about.
If you want to have real treat
watch their courting. In most species
the males are the larger and beauti-
fully colored. The duck maiden is
always clothed in the most incon-
spicuous colors. She must protect the
eggs and later her young. He is gayly
bedecked to attract her attention. Be-
sides, she will have many suitors. She
is not permitted to get away. The
courting swains form ring about
her. If she rose in the air, they
would accompany her. If she were a
tease and dropped to the water and
under it. they did likewise. Some
times the suitors fought with each
other. The damsel paid no attention
to them.
When she finally makes her de-
cision. the less favored ones depart.
1t has been a courtship that only the
strong could maintain. The happy
couples are to be seen swimming away
for their hOneymoons.
The bachelors may be seen stand
ing or swimming about in groups
Their friends, now married, are Dusily
engaged with domestic duties. When
the family has been creditably dis
posed of all are to be seen gathered
in sociable group. ready to fly North
or to move on to where food is more
abundant.

THIS name is a compound of the
= Norman French pare" meaning
a beautiful plot of land, and the old
Saxon word hurst" signifying a
wood-a beautiful woodland The
name was eventually used to designate
"the kings forest"
The first mention of the word was
found in an old English document
used in connection with the kings
forests on the Isle of Wight. There
is tradition in the family that the

that they assumed the name because

Who Are You?
Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HAsKINS ELLIS.

The first mention Of the name in
England is found in the documents
relating to the thirteenth century in
County Surrey, when Parkhurst Manor
was built by one bearing this name.
From the ParkhurstS of Surrey many
branches sprang.
Bishop John Parkhurst was an emil
nent man in his time and made the
translation of the Apocryphal books
of the Bible by command of Queen
Elizabeth.
George Parkhurst, the founder Of
the American line of the family, came
to New England about 1885 from
Ipswich in County Suffolk. 1t appears
that he first settled in Watertown,
Mass as town records list his name
among early colonists. He is also
rated as having been the wealthiest
man in the town-the owner of
homestead and II acres, besides )
other tracts
Another document, a deed in 1645
to Thomas Hastings and John Cool
idge, show him to have been resi-
dent of Boston. John Coolidge was
the ancestor of Calvin Coolidge.
George Parkhurst brought with
him from England four children and
from them descend healthy posterlty
now scattered into many States.

The Old Gardener Says:

Amateurs who make rock gar

rouletti, the smallest rose to be
given a place in the garden. This
tiny rose would be lost in the
rose garden proper, but is per-
fectly at home among rock
plants, although several should
be planted in a group in order
to make a good display. Rosa
rouletti will begin to bloom when
only two or three inches high

only half an inch in diameter,
but they are double, pink with
yellow center and very pretty.

Watching Hair
BY MARY E. PLUMMER.

NEW YORK, May 7 [P).-When an
evening wrap matches ones hair, 1t
may be worn with almost any evening
gown. This is Summer theory of
Maybelle Manning, who showed today
taffy colored evening coats for pale
blonds. She designs similar coats in
other colors, to match ones hair.
The first of these long coats she
made for Tallulah Bankhead, in Lyons
velvet, with a taffeta back. 1t had
wide epaulettes, no fur, a fiat back
and a fitted waist. Its skirt move
ment was toward the front. Under it
was worn a simple satin dress.
She also designed a glorifled shirt
waist dress for evening. 1t was cut
on the lines of mans shirt. with a
collar and tailored front, but the re-
verse side was a series of long, cut-out
panels. leaving the back exposed to
the waiStline.
The material was white triple sheer.
beaded all over with tiny rhinestones.
The skirt touched the floor, and 1t
had a wide, stitched silver belt.
The gown was one of this designers
Summer preferences. She has made
the same thing in white crepe, with a
wide, red kid belt.
Daytime Summer clothes, she thinks,
should have a tailored air-half way
between a mans shirt and tailored
suit. For town wear she favors nom

tucked vest-like fronts. big white en-
broidered collars and matching
gauntlet gloves. also embroidered. A
white hat. worn with such dress, has
a black bow on the side. She also
showed tailored suits of black starched
net. each with a white organdy jabot.
She likes bright Shantung bathing
suits, with shirt-bosom fronts and no
backs. The collar holds the suit in
place.
Her most demure gown is white
organza, with circular bias folds on
its long skirt, a square collar and
plain turn-back cuffs. A brooch is
worn at the throat, and under the

On a September Gay in 1898, in
the presence of crowd, Santos
Dumont stepped into the basket, and
soon he was rising in the air. He
started his gasoline motor and set
the propeller going. BY moving a
rudder, made of silk stretched over

could turn right or left at will. After
rising more than 1000 feet he found

On the field below him several boys
were flying kites, and when Santos
Dumont caught sight of them an
idea flashed through his mind.
Catch hold of the guide rope and
run against the wind!' he shouted.
The boys seized the long rope which
hung from the basket and ran with
all their might. This eased the fall
and Santos-Dumont came safely to
earth.
AS the years passed Santos-Du-
mont made many other tests with
airships In 1901, aboard his fifth
motor balloon" he won honor by
steering around Eiffel Tower in Paris
His trip ended with the stopping of
his motor and he landed in a chestnut
tree. but no serious damage was done.

clared in his honor. He died in 1882
