The mild winter, close observers of bird life say, has kept many of the’feathered folks in our vicinity. Pedestrians interested in local bird life have found, it is said, many spe- cies of the feathered visitors in the woods of Rock Creek Park, Arlington cemetery and Chevy Chase Circle, which localities are the best places in which to observe bird life all through the year. Arlington cemetery is & particu- larly good place for winter birds, and the mouth of Hunting creek, Ana- The extensive tidewater marshes bor- dering the two arms of the Potomac at this city afford ideal feeding | grounds for water birds and waders, | for the large number of birds which visit the District each year.

Cut_some slices of twenty- fourth-inch-thick slices. Spread the bread lightly with creamed butfer. Make a filling of equal parts of stewed mashed figs and orange mar- malade. Add to each cup of this mix- ture two dozen chopped, canned tart cherries. Press the sandwiches to- gether and cut in oblong shapes with rounded corners and grooved edge: this can be done with a fancy cutter. Drain a dozen of the tart cherries or use prese: cherries. Decorate each pile of sandwiches on top with a couple of cherries and place a cherry at each of the four corners on the plate to give a touch of color. —_— Panels may be outlined in braid.

The song of the meadowlark is heard here earlier and later than that of most other wild birds,and numbers of the songsters stay in this neigh- borhood all the winter. Diving wood- | peckers will also often elect to stay |e here all the year ‘round. Occasionally vesper sparrows and cedar waxwings will remain in Washington all winter. These birds are: easily distinguished by their white tail feathers. Their nests have been found in a wild field north of Fort Myer, and also near Silver Spring. The song of the vesper spar- row is full, sweet and plaintive, and is especially fine at evening, whence the name bestowed on the little singer. Reckless hunting for a long time decreased the numbers of some game birds once common in this vicinity. The clear call of “bob white” is still to be heard the year ‘round in the woods and fields in the neighborhood of the city, but the wild turkey, the noblest of all native game birds, has become practically extinct, and the ruffed grouse, once very abundant, is now rare. Woodcock is found In damp woods and thickets near the Potomac or Anacostia swamps. They keep secluded during the day, but come out toward evening to look for worms. This bird is, perhaps, the shyest of all the feathered tribe to be met with in a season’s observa- ¥ o A al b: Voice Culture. Last week I gave a few general exer- cises to be taken to increase the capac- ity and the richness of the voice. These are exercises which every singer must practice and which every student of elocution must learn. In a few weeks 1 will talk about the inflection of words. For today I want to mention only a few special exercises which singing teachers agree are particularly valuable. I The first one is to stand erect, t- doora or in & well aired room, wiih the hands locked across the chest. Inhale while you count five and exhale while you count five. Gradually increase the counts from six to as many as you can say without overtaxing your lungs. The next exercise s to inhale and then, a8 you exhale, pronounce forcibly vowels, a e i the v o u—all in one Still in the same position, pronos the vowels forcibly in a whisper, inhal. ing and exhaling for each. The last exercise is to inhale deeply and while exhaling*to recite out loud a line of some poem, taking care not to inhale more than once. That is. you should have drawn in sufficient breath 10 be able to say the entire line without breathing more than once. Do this again, repeating two lines of a poem, and again, repeating three lines, until you feel you have reached your capacity without overtaxing your lungs. It is impossible in these short chats to give examples of selections to be re- cited, but you can get books of poetry and ‘of elocution selections from the library and use them to practice with. You must always keep your ears open for defects in your own speech. This is as valuable as any set of exercises. sible Prices, Music encourages thrift- Pawce Levy & G DIVISION OF AMERICAN HOME FURN(SHERS CORP. 7235 7 th STREET N.W. “ 5730 where.
