Then came golf. In the early
ninetiesl nobody played golf but a
few fluffy old Scotchmen in plaids
and tartans. pink-faced and whole
some like an advertisement for
whisky. We used to notice them
knocking a little bali round the
landscape, with a flask in their
pockets. They used to play in odd
corners OF the parks and on sheep
pastures near the city. We didn't
understand that II was a game. we
thought it was just their way OF
drinking whisky. We respected
them for It. At their age, we
couldn't expect them 70 stand np at
the bar and drink as we did. They

Then the women bufted IN and

Now it is all women. Look at
any golf course today, the bright
autumn landscape and the pleasant
greens all spoiled By a bunch OF
tubby-lOoklng women an over the
place.
Can they play7 OF course not.
They just clutter up the course and
spoil the whole thing; a few Of
them seem able to hit the ball, but
not really.
Look at couple Of these men
walking out on the links, with their
expensive ties and their soft new
clothes, and their heads premature
ly bald as egg-shells. All men are
bald now. It's the price they pay
for being so much with women.
Back In the early nineties we con-
sidered that a bald man was either
professor or that be hadn't lived
right We expected a bald man to
be little silly over women. Now
they are all bald and an silly.
SO ont they go to the links. Look

STORIES IN STAMPS
Isy l. $. Klein

THE fair Brunhilde lay asleep ~ within a ring ot fire. Only he who could pierce that ring would gain her love.
 The orphan, Siegfried, brought up by . Nibelung dwarf, was sent out in search of the dragon who was guarding the ring of power. Forging a magic sword, he slew the dragon and accidentally tasted of it's blood. That gave him the power to know the language of the birds, and from one of these he learned of Brunhilde's plight.
 Guided by the bird, Siegfried found Brunhilde, and crossed the ring of fire unharmed. With kiss he awakened her, and to him Brunhilde yielded her affection.
 This legend is the third of four operas that make up "The Ring of the Nibelung," by Richard Wag- ner. It is illustrated on one of the series of stamps issued in 1883 by Germany. honoring the great composer.

Skinner the Swallow.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-05-20

VERY day brought new arrivals
l. to the Green Meadows and the
Green Forest and the Old
IL Orchard. Thost were happy
days, filled with JOY. the joy of home
building. For the most part they were
peaceful days Skinner the Swallow
twittered happily as he darted this
way and that way as only Swallow
can. OF course much of the time he
was hunting flying insects for food,
but much of the time he few for the
sheer joy of flying. Mrs. Skinner ap-
parently had forgotten her disappoint-
ment in not getting the house she
wanted. As matter Of fact. she had
quite forgotten that she had ever
wanted that house. She had a lovely
nest, lined with white feathers she
had picked up in Farmer Browns
henyard. That nest was in hollow
stub Of limb in one Of the maple
trees in Farmer Browns dooryard. It
was the last years house of Drummer
the Woodpecker.
1t was on the morning when the
second little white egg was laid in that
snug nest that Skinner brought her
bit of news. Jenny Wren has ar
rived in the Old Orchard" said SKIM
mer. If you listen you can hear her
scolding over there now"
What is she scolding about" asked
Mrs. Skinner.
Il don't know" replied Skinner.
Probably she doesn't know herself.
You know what a born scolder she is.
! don't see how Johnny Wren stands
her. He just doesn't seem to notice it
at all. He sings as if there wasn't
anything else in the world to do but
sing"
HAS Jenny settled on a house yet,
do you know" asked Mrs. Skinner. i,
"I doubt it," replied Skinner.
She's looking around and fussing a
great deal. There are two or three
houses over there with doorways so
small that no one but Wrens can en-
ter, so I guess those houses are meant
just for Wrens."
Mrs. Skinner nodded. st know
them" she said. There is one Of
them I would have liked If I could
have entered it, but I guess it is lust
as well I couldn't get into it, for then
we wouldn't have found this place."
1t was Swimmers turn to nod. Its
just as WELL" said he IF we were
living over there we might have those
Wrens for neighbors. You wouldn't
like that, would you, my dear?"
IT certainly would not" replied
Mrs. Skinner. Jenny Wren minds
everybody's business but her own. She
is trouble-maker. sometimes think
that half her JOY in life is in scolding
and making other people uncomfort-
able. She may be all right in her
place, but I don't want her for too
near neighbor. I don't trust her."
Skinner looked down on the trunk
Of the tree in which their home was,
There was little house attached to
the trunk of that tree. It was q Wren
house. Farmer Browns Boy had put
it there early in the Spring. Skinner
wondered If Mrs. Skinner had given
that house thought. He hoped that
neither Jenny Wrenn, nor Johnny
Wrenn would discover it. He sensed
that there might be trouble if they did
discover it. So far they hadn't been
over to Farmer Browns dooryard, but
to hope that they wouldn't come over
there was, he feared, hoping q little
too much.
Now Mrs. Skinner had not yet be-
gun setting on her eggs. She would
