Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
PLAY and Day. Dreaming.

THERE seems to be very close re-
lationship between play and day.
dreaming. In fact, they are the same
psychologically speaking.
A child at play Is making q serious
attempt to transform his fancies
into reality. In order to do this he Sc
lects objects and manipulates them
according to the drift of his dreams
A small boy can attach q host OF
imaginary details to a rudely con-
structed gun, water wheel or Indian
costume.
Another form of play is talking to
oneself. Children indulge freely in
this pastime. Most adults who live
alone find the temptation to talk to
themselves rather persistent. It's
just another method Of trying to cash
in on fancy.
In the course of time we all learn
to play abstractly. We are able to
get along without objects or without
recourse to imaginary conversation
When we arrive at that developmental
stage we call 1t day-dreaming. But
1t is still playing, manipulation Of
fancies which we might wish to re-
solve into realities. That's why day
dreaming is called "wishful thinking.
A few persons behave as If their
fancies were realities. The unfortu-
mates get into all sorts Of difficulties
They often develop psychopathic per-
sonalities and are thus unable to
evaluate the realities of this world.

Sometimes she would sit in the door
way of one, looking out and slyly
watching the two rivals for her affec-
tions, all the time pretending she
wasn't watching them at all.
At last Winsome's temper became
too much for him. You wouldn't have
known him for the gentle, winsome
little fellow whose good temper had
won him his name. No, sir, you
wouldn't have known him. He was a
blue-coated fighting fury. He swooped
down on his rival and undertook to
drive him out Of the Old Orchard.
The other refused to be driven out.
He was no coward. In his turn he
attempted to drive Winsome out Of
the Old Orchard. Such fight as re-
suited! How the feathers few! They
fought until the two birds fell to the
ground. locked together. They were
up again in an instant, however, and
presently they separated. in order to
rest and get their wind. Then they
were at it again.
So it went for the greater part of
that day, and all the time Mrs. Wiz
some was watching. They were fight
ing for her and she knew 1t. 1t was
thrilling to be fought for like that.
1t was long time since she had had
quite such an experience. Winsome

her favor when they had first met

old Mother Nature.

"HERE were Bluebirds in Farmer
Browns orchard. There were
several Bluebirds there. Farm
i er Browns Boy had prepared
several houses especially for the Blue
birds and these early arrivals had no
intention of looking farther. At least
that was the case with some of them.
One pair took possession Of one Of
those houses on the very day Of their
arrival.
Now Winsome Bluebird, who had
spent the Winter there, sleeping nights
in one Of those houses, had expected
that just as soon as Mrs. Winsome
arrived from the Sunny South they
would begin housekeeping in which,
ever house Mrs. Winsome liked best.
But Mrs. Winsome had arrived and
they had not begun housekeeping.
You see, Winsome had a rival. He
had come up from the Sunny South
with her. and so far she had treated
them alike. 1t was very upsetting to
Winsome. It had never entered his
head that he might have rival. He
had thought that Mrs. Winsome would
be as glad to see him as he was to
see her.
Winsome had to admit that his rival
was handsome. He was as hand
some as any Bluebird Winsome ever
had seen. Furthermore, he was young,
and that was in his favor. Winsome
had been jealous from the very mo-
ment he first laid eyes on the stranger.
and his jealousy was not without
cause. The result was that Mrs. Win
some was receiving a great deal Of
attention. Yes, indeed, she was re-
ceiving a great deal Of attention, and
apparently she enjoyed it.
How Winsome and his rival did try
to show of! They spent a great deal
Of time dressing their feathers, see
ing that each one was in place and
making themselves look as fine as
possible. They whstled the softest,
sweetest notes they knew. especially
for Mrs. Winsome's benefit, and all
the time Mrs. Winsome went about
her own business, quite as II she didn't
know at all what was going on.
She inspected the empty houses,
going in and out Of them many times.

well-built nursery, unless you know
the dead give-away - the path OF
leaves, or, We may say, the rug be-
fore the apartment door.
The places to search for the nests
are among upturned roots of large
tree, the edges of a fallen log, the
slopes Of bank or such sites.
The outside walls are mud-covered
leaves, which are carefully put to-
gether, forming a firm roof when
dried. The inner walls are made of
twigs, grass stems, rootletS and Skele-
tonized leaves. To add to the COM
fort and fragrance of the little room,
pine needles are added.
In this secluded room the mother
places four to five eggs. The ground
color is creamy white and about the
larger end there are lilac, dark and
lght-brown spots.
The parents are clad in the same
colors and pattern. olive-gray, with
underparts of white. The bill is
shorter than the head and, as you see,
tapering toward the tip. The eyes are
beautiful and alert. The legs and
feet are flesh colored The really best
way to watch these lovely wood dwell
ers Is to station yourself near their
haunts and use field glasses.

college and when it came to fellows
like Flip Netherlin-well, she was
singing at the Chinquapin and she
had to be polite to its owner.
Flip wasn't worried. He was pa

before he made move.
A ND that's where that way with
women of his comes into it.
At 20 minutes to 10 he stopped at
the switchboard and smiled at the
pretty kid on duty.
Listen, Kristin," he said. "Will
you do me a favor?"
The kid looked at him with her
heart in her eyes. Shed been moon

Color dyed her cheeks. What
was the favor, Mr.. Netherlin?"
Flip spoke slowly, being sure to
get it straight. Its like this. I'm
having some company at 1890. I'm
going to have to get contract through
and the signatures on the dotted line.
Tonight. And I've got to make it
look like I've tried to make some
outside call that won't get

She was puzzled, but she hooded,
letting the long eyelashes tip her
brows as she widened her blue eyes
at him.
This is what you do. Any call
that comes from my place tonight
from right now on you take the
number but just forget to ring"
You mean just not to put any
call through? Is that it?"
That's it. And tomorrow I'll send
you an orchid"

He frowned at that. Lola sang at

blocks to the Chinquapin, but he
couldn't see how.
1t was not Lola who pushed past
him and slammed the door shut.
"Sit down"
Flip had never seen the fellow be-
fore, but he had seen just such a
snub-nosed automatic. He sat down.
Don't know me, do you?"
Flip made a try for nonchalance.
Never saw you before in my life"
But I guess you've seen Nita

So that was it. Flip wet his dry
lips with his tongue. He'd thought he

Louisiana Water Thrush
(Seiurus motacilla).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY,

IF YOU should see a bird walking
and wagging its tail, the chances
are it would be the water thrush,
L either the Southern or Northern
one. Birds, as you know, are not
pedestrians, and so when they are
seen using this mode Of getting about
1t naturally attracts our attention
The oven bird Is another one Of the
walkers you have met.
The water thrush is lover OF
woods, swamps and bogs, and every
place where there are water and soli-
tude. If you happen to come into
ones presence, and you most likely
will, for the water thrush has wide
range over Eastern United States dur
its breeding season, keep quiet, so
that the nervous creature may get
control of himself.
If you once hear this song you will
never forget it, for it is said to be
"loud, clear and exquisitely sweet,
beginning with a burst of melody
which becomes softer and more deli
cate until the last notes die away,
lost in the ripple of the stream, above
which the birds are generally
perched."
The only reason for these birds tc
be called thrushes is their coat color
Their habits are totally different, and
besides they are smaller than even
the smallest member of the thrush
tribe. The thrushes are calm, col
lected clan, while this fellow belongs
to the warblers, a restless, eager lot
wary and much given to seclusion.
