Sweetheart roses to Peggy, our

In all our past joys she has had a
real part.
In sunshine and cloud, she made
US all proud
Of Peggy, our lovely sweetheart.
Now, at ninety years young, she
must make fresh start,
On the sea of life in her snug
little barque.
But come rain or come snow; or
let wild winds blow,
There'll be sunshine in Peggy's
sweet heart.

up there in the 'stick?" This is a
question we are often asked. Well,
when the snow is deep on the gar
den - the roads icy - the wind
blowing furiously = the furnace
fire slow we often wish we had
a cozy apartment in the city =
but not in the springtime.
Here are some of the reasons
- jotted down last week on Il
morning at home. A rabbit sat
munching clovera just across the
road, turning his big eyes in all
directions, to see that "Reds" the
big Irish setter next door does
not creep up on him. We kept
still on the,porch until he finished
his breakfast, wiggled his ears. "a
few times, crept through the
fence, hoped across the road and
entered his apartment under our
'front.' porch, 1t is always, a ire
lief. to knew that Peter Rabbit and
his family are still there one
season he,isubleased it to Johnny
Skunk ande,bis equally cute but
smelly family, and we had to use
the back ENTRANCE as much as pos
sible in fear that we would fright
en- the skunk family.
A flicker, with lovely red head
and a crescent of black on his
breast, dropped down on the bird
bath soaring the little song spar
row which looks for all the world
like leaf floating on the water.
Two big fat robins sat in wal
nut tree nearby awaiting their
turn = the sparrows - cleanest of
all birds = just do not wait IT. they
hop into the bath with any and
all birds. We called softly to
Grandma" to look at them. The
scene around the bird bath, (which
has been there for fifteen or
twenty years, is an ever changing
one. The walnut trees which
seemed so far apart twenty-five
years ago, now meet over it, but
the birds know where it is.
From upstairs we noticed a
dove sitting under the bathroom
window cooling softly to himself
his mate has a nest few feet
away in a climbing rose bush. Like
the robin the doves are very care
less nest builders, and their eggs
or their young often fall from the
nest in a high wind. We love the
peculiar whistling sound made by
the wings of the doves as they
fy-also the so-called mourning"
note if its song. They are among
our handsomer birds.
1t is a little to early for the
Baltimore oriole TO be in evidence
indeed we never see much of
him at any time-just glimpse him
upon his infrequent visits to the
bird bath. Several nests from
other years may be seen hanging
in the locust trees along the road.
The oriole nest is thing of art
and often hangs on a tree for
years-they build new one every |
year. The oriole song is like no
other. The mocker makes no at /

PREPARATION PAYMENTS

PARASITIC United States is
reported to have agreed in prin-
ciple at the foreign ministers
meeting that Italy should pay
reparations, with the provision
that such payment must not put
Italy into the position of requir-

The ministers of Britain,
France, Russia and the United
States agreed to name a commit
tee of four to study Italy's econ
ony and determine whether she
could pay reparations, without
crippling herself, in factory
equipment, machine and arma-
ment tools, and merchant ships.
The Italian navy, in which the
Russians were said to have shown
interest, were not mentioned.
It was indicated that if it were
found that Italy could pay with
out having to appeal to the United
States and Britain for loans, then
those two countries might them
selves lay claim to reparations.
