William N. Freeman, general

Natures Children
By Lillian Cox Athey

The cleverness shown by the birds
in their selection Of a home stump
is remarkable. Sitting there with its
tail firmly pressed against the
trunk, it's eyes closed, and its neck
stretched to full length, head point
ed skyward, it resembles a part oi
the stump.
The nest is remarkable, too, only
a cavity into which single egg Is
neatly fitted with no room to spare
It cannot be moved from side tc
side, but can be revolved gently with
your fingers.
Two days after the baby leaves
the eggshell, it has assumed the
parental posture. It's creamy white
birthday robe of down blends with
Ia patch of fungus on the stump
Holding fast with its small claws
the infant cannot be removed with
out injuring the tender body. Fed
by its parents, the youngster re-
mains under their observation unit
able to fly.
In the forests Of Southern Trini-
dad, the bird begins his cries with
. very loud note just after day

Papier- -mache is from the French,
and means, literally, "chewed pa
lper''; hence, paper pulp and glue
used in modelling or molding."
Mispronunciations Of the word
result from our efforts to give it a
Frenchifled twist; but no French
man in his right mind would be
guilty of saying "PAY-pee-er NAH
SHAY, pap-ee-er muh-SHAY or
pub PEER mash" all of which pro-
nunciations I have heard, and from
people who should know better!
The correct French pronunciation
is; pap-yay mah-slay.
Papier- -mache, however, has long
been in English, and the pronun-
citation in best usage is approx
mately half English and half
French. Papier- is pronounced ex-
sctly like the word paper" and
-mache is pronounced very much as
it is in French, thus: PAY-per muh-
SHAY.
This brings to mind other hybrid
pronunciations in English, i.e., pro-
nunciations that are half English
and half some other language.
