The skirt is a straightline one,

is all very interesting and easily

Our first material choice for this

Whistling Swan.
Cygnus cOIumbianus.


w YHISTLING SWANS are so
I much like little children.
wv They make great fuss over
being tidied up, they talR
and chatter when they are
eating, and demand. in loud voice,
their own place in the line when they
are ready to go on trip.
Only poets would call their loud
cries singing But poets are gifted
folks and they can see and hear things
that we pass by.
If you have the pleasure Of hearing
them you will be reminded of fire
siren. the bass of a tin horn and all
the false notes of clarionet. 1t Is
said that the various notes are due to
the difference in age of the perform
ers. Whatever the cause, the COM
bined voices carry for miles-and they
do not sound like singing.
When the whistling swans decide to
go into the air you think there are
some mighty explosions nearby as the
great, wide wings strike the air. No
sight is more beautiful than the W
shaped wedge of these birds as they
soar against a blue sky, their snowy
plumage reflected in the smooth waters
below. They are said to make 100
miles an hour with little effort. The
squadron is always led by veteran
leader. with a voice like a fog horn.
Do not Judge the swans that you see
in your city park by the lovely free
Whistiers of the air. These members
who are so tame. have accepted char
ity so long their ambition is all gone
and their voices, too, apparently.
You will rarely see swans tipping up
and never diving. Their necks have
become so elongated during the CEN
turies they wisely seek shallow water,
and when they wish to dine plunge
their heads under the surface. A
worm. mollusk, roots or grubs will be
there for the taking.
If you frighten the shy birds they
can easily outswim an expert rover
and with no sign of haste at that.
The honeymoon flight begins In
April. They have changed their old
clothes and the older ones are clothed
in snowy white garments, instead OF
the soiled white clothes they have worn
for a year Members of the younger
generation have on their first perfect
white plumage.

Apple Clace.

Pare, core and quarter six or eight
apples. Cook slowly in a sirup made
of one and one-half cupfuls of white
sugar, three-fourths cupful of water
and the juice and grated rind of half
lemon until tender. but not mushy.
Remove from the sirup, drain the ap-
Piles and cook the sirup until it will
drop from spoon like jelly. For
cinnamon flavor and red color add
one tablespoonful of cinnamon drops.
These are hard red candies. Remove
from the fire and cool slightly. Ar
range the cooked apple quarters in a
baked pie shell, or in individual tart
shells, and pour enough sirup over
the top to glaze well. Place under
broiler flame for about five minutes
or in q hot oven for 10 minutes. Serve
cold. This is delicious topped with
vanilla ice cream.

There is no shirker among them. The
sticks and aquatic plants are gathered
by each couple until there is a pile
2 feet high and 6 feet across. Then
the mother fashions the nursery. She
lines it with the softest of down from
her own body and on this fleecy mat
tress she places from two to six rough,
grayish-colored eggs. They are 4
inches long and 3 inches wide.
Five long weeks must pass by before
she can lead her little powder puffs of

will gradually assume their plumage.

quarter final knockout round of the

by the American Bridge League at

team, which won, vas opposed to Mrs.
R. B. Fullers team.
The opening lead was the ace of
hearts. South ruffed in the dummy
and led a small club from the board.
East went in with the queen and re-
turned the king of hearts. That dis
posed of dummy's nine spot of trump.
Another small club was led from the
board. If East goes in with the ace,
South automatically makes four
spades. But East ducked the trick.

trick. South now had the option of
taking either a diamond or spade
flneSSe. The diamond is the more
logical, since, if the spade finesse
loses, heart Is sure to be returned,
and South may lose a spade, heart,
club and diamond. The diamond
finesse lost, however, and East re-
turned third heart. disposing of the
jack of spades in the dummy. The
king of clubs was played off the board.
East refused to cover. and South
ruffed with the 10 in his own hand.
West overruffed with the king and
banged down his last heart South
must ruff with the ace in dummy. At
this point, since he cannot get off the
board, he has to lose a second spade
trick. If he lays down the ace and
another diamond. as he did, East will

Permit Valuations
 Here In April Gain
BuiIding Shows Normal Upward Trend in State Last
 MOntfl-Many Towns Share in Increases

Although far below normal levels, the volume of building per- mifs issued by cities and towns in Connecticut during the month Of April continued to show the up- ward trend which usually marks the approach of warm weather, gaining substantially over the val. uation of the permits issued in March, 1t is revealed in the month iy survey taken by the Freight traffic departments of the New Haven railroad among twenty-four coInmities along it's rights of way. The total valuation of the permits fssuel by these communities in April was slightly more than $1.- 100000 which was approximately @2T3,000 greater than the permits issued by the same group fin March. The April permits showed practically no gain over the cor responding month of last year, however.
 The increase in the April per- init valuation over that of March was well spread among three- quarters or eighteen of the twenty four cities and towns included in the railroad survey. Those com munities which gained were the following: Bridgeport, Bristol, Der by. East Hartford. Greenwich. Meriden, Middletown, Naugatuck, New Haven, New London, Norwalk, Norwich, Stamford, Stratford. Tor rington, West Hartford, West Haven. and Willimantic.
 The April list was headed by New Haven with permits valued at 3197,737 while New London and West Hartford were in second and third positions. respectively. As compared with their permit valuations of April. 1883. sixteen of the cities and towns recorded gains. These were Bristol, Dan- bury, Greenwich, Hartford, Meri- den, Middletown, New Britain, Now Haven, New London, Norwalk, Stamford. Stratford, Torrington, Waterbury, West Hartford, and Willimantic.
