command all stopped gabblinp and
sat with necks stretched high, looking
and listening intently for some hint
OF danger over where rushes and
water plants grew in shallow water

Inere was food there, such food as
Geese like, and plenty of it.
Inc younger members of the flock
were impatient. They were for swim
ming IN at once. They were hungry.
Iney said so. They said it was not
yet hight enough for there to be
danger from hunters with terrible
guns. They said that Honker was
TOO easily frightened and was over
cautious. But they said it among
themselves, SO that he did not hear
them. Meanwhile, well out in front.
Honker slowly led the way, every
sense alert.
Presently he stopped swimming In

far as he could discover, everything
appeared safe. But he was too wary

he would not give the word TO his
hungry followers to move in to break
fast, and some of them resented it
Iney said to one another that he was
TOO old and that waiting was all fool
lshness. They forgot the hundreds of
weary miles he had safely led them
since leaving their home in the Far
North.
Slowly at first, then more and more
rapidly, the Black Shadows fed and
It was broad daylight. Look as they
would. those Geese could see no sign
OF a hunter. Honker commanded tho
others to remain where they were

feeding ground, and then up anc

others and was about to give the wore

He waited.
Above the rushes Blacky the Crow
suddenly paused in flight and hovered
for a moment. Then he flew in a
hurry. screaming at the top of his
lungs. Cav! cav! cav! gun! gunl

"We'n wait while for breakfast"
said Honker in a low tone. Wen

There is hunter hidden somewhere
over there. Thanks to Blacky, we
know it now. He knows that We
know it, so he is likely to give up
before long. Then we can go in and
eat with safety
Wary old Honker was right. There
was hunter there. He had hidden
there before the first hint of daylight.
When Blacky discovered him and
gave the alarm he knew that his
chances of getting a Goose that day
were slim, and he soon gave up.

South opened the bidding with one
diamond-just kidding, you under
stand. He realized as well as you or I.
since the Chinese are proverbially re-
nowned for their damned cleverness,
that the correct bid on his holdings
was one no trump. But he hoped to
prevent a diamond lead. West over
called with one spade and North
stretched his holdings slightly in order
to bid two diamonds. South immedi-
ately Jumped to three no trumps.
The opening lead was the ten OF
spades. After winning the trick with
the jack, South decided that he had
to devote all his efforts to keeping
East out of the lead. Naturally the
club suit had to be set up. If East
were to hold the king twice guarded
the declarer realized that he'd have
to enter the dummy twice in order to
finesse for that important card. There
was only one way to do this: Give up
one of his three diamond tricks. He
led the jack, overtaking with the queen
of diamonds in dummy and finesSed
clubs once. Then the king of diamonds
was overtaken by the ace and second
club finesse taken. On the lead OF
South's three remaining clubs West
became slightly embarrassed. He was
forced to throw of two spades and a
diamond.
South, who now had q count on
Vests hand, threw West in the lead
with the king of spades. West took
the ace and queen of spades and the
ten of diamonds. but he was then
forced to lead into South's ace-queen
of hearts. South's task becomes more
difficult if West casually discards a
small heart early in the game.

For this reason the bird is known by
many names, among them the big
saw bill, American gooSander, shell
drake and fishing duck.
1t is a very handsome bird. The
males head and upper neck are deep,
glossy green. His upper parts are
a glossy black, shading to ashy gray
on rump and tail. This color also
runs up the back of his neck and
looks like a deep gray collar. The
outer edges of his shoulders and most
of his wings are pure white. They are
crossed by one black bar, which is
formed by the bases of the greater
coverts. The primaries and outer
secondaries are black, the latter shad-
ing to white and black toward the CEN
ter. The underparts are glistening
white, the breast slightly tinged with
pink. His bill and feet are vermilion,
his iris red.
The female has a beautiful reddish
chestnut brown head and neck. Her
crest is a deeper, richer shade. Her
chin, throat and under parts are
white, her coat ashy gray. The feath-
ers are slightly darker toward the
center. Her bill is reddish, paler at
the base and dusky along the ridges
She has orange-colored feet and
dusky webs. Her iris is yellowish red.
Her children look like her.
The mother has the unusual prac-
tice of building her nursery in a low,
hollow tree, thing not usual with
ducks. She may select a crevice be-
tween rocks or under a clump of
bushes. 1t will be made of grasses,
moss and leaves on the outside, and
made especially comfortable with
down on the inside.
Six to 10 pale, buffy- -colored eggs
are laid about the latter part of May
1t has been claimed that the parents
take the youngsters to the water in
their bills, If the nursery is in a hol-
low tree. AS the little fellows are
such husky infants, the chances are
they are Independent and scorn as
sistance, preferring to march to the
water under their own steam.
If startled while under the water,
the birds rise quickly out of it into
the air. If making a flight of their
own volition, they pat the water for
some distance before they take off.
Once up, they fly very fast and go
at the rate of 40 miles an hour.

THE meaning Of this surname Is
L obvious: 1.-THE hollow way" or a
clearing in forest, ravine or any
clear, open space between natural OBJ
stacles. Undoubtedly, this name was
adopted by family living in or near
"the hollow way"
This name was frequently found in
the early days of England in Oxford
shire, and in Middlesex there was
part of a parish so named. The old
English form was Holeweye, and the
aforementioned person bearing the
name was one Johannes de Hole
we've, in the hundred rolls of Wilt
shire, 1878. This name is also found
in the early records of Warwickshire
and Somersetshire.
The name of Holway and Holloway
have both played important roles in
the history of Great Britain and In
America. The first immigrant to the
New England Colony was Joseph Hol-
way or Holiway. He came to Lynn,
Mass, in 1886. He died in 1647, leav-
ing his wife Rose. his daughter Rose
and son Joseph, jr. The last named
was a freeman Of Sandwich, Mass,
in 1875.
There is q list Of descendants Of
this family. The name of Holloway is
found frequently in the Southern and
Western States. Many of them are
descendants Of another branch Of the
family, which will be discussed in Q
future article.

"HE double-breasted dress with
revers is popular with most of
us this Winter. We recon-
mend this one for its simplicity
of cut, and the ease with
which the pattern pieces go together.
Beginners at sewing will be encour-
aged by their achievements should
they try their skill out on few smart
yards of material, and this pattern
purchased in their proper size.
Convertible collars are joys to own.
Separate collars can be tackled in and
taken out Bright silk neck scarfs
may be worn INTERCHANGEABLE with
velveteen ones. And triangles of
fringed wool may alternate with
striped or plaided oblongs-in fact,
the rever neckline places no limita-
ton on the decorative accessories you
choose, providing you keep within the
boundaries of suitability and good
taste. The model sketched has a
beautifully shaped collar arrangement.
Its notched outline makes for becom-
ingness in practically every instance.
A new treatment, too, in shirt waist
frocks, is the double e-breasted closing
of the waist. Here it looks particu-
larly well above the plain skirt, which
features a fashionable panel in front,
and a back seam that provides plenty

Seasons Cracker Novelties

Der of elaborate sandwiches may be
fashioned. Their attractiveness may
be further enhanced with garnish
of pimiento, sliced stuffed olives ot
nut meats.
A slice Of graham bread between
two white layers results in novel
three-tiered sandwich which may be
shaped in triangles, strips or squares.
Cut some bread in 4 or l2-inch
slices and trim the edges. Using any
preferred filling, put three layers Of
bread together, the center slice Of
which should be of colored or dark
bread. Press together firmly, wrap in
a thin, damp cloth and chill in the
refrigerator with a light weight on
top. When ready to serve cut in
Il Inch slices. In appearance the
sandwiches resemble layer cake. If
several sandwiches are required time
will be saved by slicing the bread
lengthwise Of the loaf. II the bread
is sliced thin six layers of bread may
be used.
Cut enough American cheese to
make one and one-half cupfuls. Put
into a double boiler with one-half
can of tomato soup and one-half a
tablespoonful of butter, and cook until
the cheese IS melted. Add an egg
well beaten, and cook all until smooth,
stirring constantly. Cool and spread
on whole wheat or white bread. These
should be toasted and are delicious.
CONNECTIONS.
There is an art in choosing the right
candy for the right time and right
place. There are many original ways
of using sweets which every hostess
should know. Candy offers unlimited
possibilities to the hostess with imag-
ination. The color appeal Of candy
is an important factor in successful
entertaining. For an informal lunch
con, select two colors of Jordan
almonds-pale yellow and jade green
and tuck six or eight of them upright
at a Slanting angle in shallow paper
cups. Fit the bottom of each cup with
a circle of commercial sponge cake,
into which the almonds are stuck pin
cushion fashion. The result is a charm
ing table decoration, simple but ef-
fective. Several of these cups may be
grouped on a mirror, with dark green
gum-drop leaves gracefully dispersed
around them, or with natural or paper
flower sprays as background, thus
achieving centerpiece distinctly
novel. They may also be placed AT
each plate for an individual candy
service.
Gum drops occupy the first rank in
table favors and decorations, espe-
cially when the catering is for the
younger people. No wonder they are
so popular, for they have infinite pos
sibilities as decorations for place cards.
as table decorations in the form of
flowers, wreaths and tiny figures, as
well as dainty and amusing animals
for a children's party.
Lollipops may be enhanced with
paper skirts and jaunty caps, and with
gum-drop eyes and mouths, or in any
number of ways to make place-card
holders or favorS.
The flavors already skillfully blended
in manufactured candy can be used
with great success in many different
dishes. Plain Ice cream can be made
much more interesting by the use Of
candy. For instance, chocolate pep
permints. melted In . double boiler

Frocks of this general type are at
their best in bright woods or inter-
esting monotone weaves-half wool,
half acetate. The newest sports silks
are appearing in rough. nubby sur
faces, necktie prints and satin twills.
The colors are beautiful and exciting.
They include fuchsia shades, peacock
blues, banana yellow, duck-egg blue,
forest green, Copenhagen blue and
oxford gray. These colors are listed
on the advance chart for Spring, SO
you may depend upon them to carry
through into next season.

with a little milk or cream, make q
delicious hot sauce for ice cream.
An easily made cake frosting, and
one of the most successful, is made by
placing chocolate candy bar on each
layer of cake while it is very hot. The
chocolate will met quickly and only
needs to be spread evenly.
To make peanut brittle whip, beat
separately pint of cream and three
egg whites. Crush rather fine pound
of peanut brittle and combine the
three ingredients.
Creamy Candies.
The creamy texture of candy de-
pends upon whether or not the sugar
crystals have all been broken down.
Granulated sugar is double sugar
which has q crystal, and the creamy
candies require simple sugar which will
not form crystals. While boiling
sugar with water is sufflcient to break
down the crystals, there is danger of
their forming as the mixture cools. To
overcome this tendency, many recipes
call for cream of tartar, which, being
an acid, aids in breaking down the
crystals; other ingredients which act
in similar way are corn sirup, honey
and molasses. They are already in a
simple form, remain in that condition,
and aid in keeping sugar in a simple
form, too.
To cut candies and have clear-cut
edges, always remove the candy from
the pan and place it on a board. With
a sharp butcher knife cut the candy
into strips, perhaps an inch wide, or
less, depending upon the size desired.
Let the knife go to the bottom with a
quick stroke. If the knife sticks, rub
it with little cornstarch and remove
the sticky particles with another
knife. Clean edges necessitate a
clean knife and a quick stroke.
After the candy has been cut into
strips, cut each strip into smaller
pieces, squares, triangles, or oblongs,
but always with quick stroke. The
simplest way is to keep the point of
the bttcher knife on the table with
the left hand on 1t, then lift the han
die with the right hand and press
down with firm stroke.
Fondant Dipped Fruits Soften
one cupful of cooked fondant over
hot water. Remove from the fire and
cool slightly. Pierce a fork into the
center Of a prune and dip in the
fondant so that it will come up around
the sides but does not cover the filling.
Lay on waxed paper to harden. To
dip figs, hold onto their stems and
dip about half way. Pierce q fork
in the peach, and after dipping place
an unblanched almond in the center.
The fondant may be used white or
in various colors and flavors. The
delicate color of fondant, making q
partial casing for the fruits, Is very
attractive and is easily prepared.
Made With Dried Fruits.-Dried
figs, peaches and prunes make stun
ming additions to the candy collection
when partially dipped in plain or
colored fondant or chocolate. Wash
the fruit, make a sirup, using one
and a half cupfuls Of sugar to two
cupfuls of water, and when it boils
add the washed fruit. Continue cook
ing for about As minutes. Leave the
stems on figs but cut little slit in
the side and insert a piece Of nut.
Prunes should be pitted and then
stuffed with a nut, mixture Of
chopped fruits or with fondant.
Peaches may require only 40 minutes;
cook them separately. Drain them
and cry on q towel. Rub Oh the
skin.

American Merganser.

Mergus Americans. A. o. U. 129.
THIS Is the only American duck
where the female has the crest!
The male has elongated feath-
L ers on his head, but he Is such
handsome fellow you do not
miss the usual decoration.
Besides being very beautiful birds,
they are not noisy, and they do not
deprive man Of anything he feels Is
rightfully his. The ducks flesh has
q flavor said to be mixture Of an
oily lamp wick and fish net. The duck
and man have nothing to fear from
each other.
Fresh, swiftly flowing waters are
the favorite fishing haunts Of the mer-
gansers. You will see several pairs
of them swimming about in the rush
ing torrents, as If they were gliding
about on a peaceful, placid lake.
Their slender bodies are built for
deep diving and fast going under wa
ter When an object comes swirling
toward them, they deftly dive under
1t.
Only when the Winters are severe
and the waters frozen, will you see
these fresh-water lovers seek the salt
water They must have fish, and of
necessity go where they can be found.
When undisturbed, they spend their
time diving after chubs, minnows,
crawfish, frogs, mollusks and crusta-
ceans. Water insects they snap up
as they fly by.
The bill of these fishermen Is espe-
cially adapted for their way of get
ting living from the water. Not only
is it hooked, but the edges are
equipped with saw-like teeth. Once a
victim has been caught, it matters
little how slippery it is, the firm hold
of the bill never lets 60.
The mergansers enjoy a wide
range. They breed in Canada and
northern United States, from the base
of the Alaskan Peninsula to Labrador
and Newfoundland, south to southern
Mexico; in Central New Hampshire,

the wisdom of long experience and
looked up to by all the others as
their leader, knew that there was
little food for so many Geese in Pad
dy's pond and that they must get
their breakfast over on the Big River.
1t was not long fight for such
strong flyers, just enough Of a flight
to give them a good appetite, were
any in need of it. But Honker hated
to lead them over there. He feared
he would be leading them into danger.
However, breakfast they must have,
and the only place to get it was on
the Big River. Honker gave the sig
nal and was himself the first in the
air. Then the flcok, in formation like
living wedge, with Honker at the
point, headed over the Green Forest
and over the Green Meadows straight
for the Big River. The Black Shad-
ows had not yet been driven out from
along the banks. Only out in the
middle of the River was it light, and
even there the light was still subdued

scientist made test to learn how
much power it would take to pull apart
a hollow steel ball which contained no
air. The scientist was named Otto
Won Guericke, and he had served as
mayor of Magdeburg, a town between
Berlin and Leipzig.
The ball which was used for the
test was small one-only a little
more than IA inches in diameter. It
was divided into two halves, or "hem-
ispheres," and the rim of each half
was smoothed and polished SO as to
fit snugly with the other. Through
tube with stopcock, air was pumped
out of the ball after it was put to-
gether. Then eight horses were hitched

uations of one animal initiating
another or initiating human beings.
Monkeys and apes can be trained to
