She had seen many a fine young Duck drop lifeless when one of these creatures had pointed stick from which prang fire and smoke. More than that she had had one pointed at her 1 had had sharp pains that had made her ill for days afterward. She hated and feared all these two-legged creatures. And when Sammy Jay sald that now everything ‘'would be all right she didn't believe a word of it. She saw Farmer Brown's Boy stop nd she saw .the surprised look on his face as he discovered the young Heron. The truth is Farmer Brown's Boy was surprised. He saw at a glance that the young Heron was practically full grown and he couldn’t understand why it hadn't flown when Mrs. Longlegs flew. He took a step forward. The young Heron spread his broad wings and flapped helplessly in an_effort to fl 1t ended by his falling flat. Instanly Farmer Brown's Boy understood that that ieron was caught by one foot and the look of surprise gave way to buy, buy, buy? Ever since the war this sort of statement has been expressed every now and then. - Now, of course, there is something false in this reasoning somewhere. This is due to the fact that the mer- chant who expects so much of the designers underestimates the real im- portance of the woman who buys and wears the clothes in determining what she wants, to wear. True, 80 long as clothes go along as they have gone with very fe radical changes, changing gradually every season, but not jumping from one ‘extreme to another, women will not turn out thelr clothes closets and start in afresh. They will use left- overs, they will remodel old clothes they will wear old clothes as they are and buy just what they need. Well, suppose the designers did pre- sent a radically new and ‘attractive type of frock. Suppose they got their heads together and all put out some such new ard radical type of frock. | Simply, the women wouldn't have i Nothing has been truer of the clothes of this supumer and the spring than TR TR T LRI T o\ (M get can we make clear to ourselves just what we are spending for clothe: and just what we are getting for ou money—indeed, just how we really do dress. We are so apt, with clothes as with other things, to suppose that we somehow manage to look as we ould like to, and fail to admit to ourselves, even as we face the mir- ror, our mistakes, shabbiness and fool- ish’ unconsidered extravagances. The best way tgumake out a budget is_to base it on g three-year average. We may exceed a given amount in any one year wisely, provided we use the articles bought long enough to justify it and average the actual ex- benditure. A cheap hat one season, another the next, may often cost more money than a dearer, but better hat worn two years and perhaps with slight alteration longer. Thus over the three-year period we may save money by spending more in the first place. But to exceed our allowance to buy a garment that will not go i more than one season is really to make a bad mistake. ~ Very few people have any clear idea @f what they ought to spend for clothes.

He knew that that bill could be ariven with great force by that long neck, and he had no mind to lose an eye. He had heard somewhere that a Heron would strike at the eyes. It might or might not be true.but he didn’t intend to take any chances. He took off hig old coat. which, for a wonder, he had with him that morn- ing. He held it in front of him and moved toward the young Heron. The Heron struck once. That was all, just once. Somehow that coat had covered his head so that he was helpless. Then Farmer Brown's Boy had gathered him coat and all under one arm and was looking to see what held that foot. now " being manufactured by many good firms.

Since the world war it is hard to obtain double-faced velours; so, in consider- ing velour portieres, one must figure in thé cost of a silk lining for them (to_cover the cotton back of the single-faced velour), and this, of course, brings up the total price of the portieres.

The mere neuritis conveys no tangible {ca ofuthe nature -of the trouble. Too many easy-going folk have learned to call evewy ache or pain, which formerly passed}s neuralgia (nerve ache), by the more clissy, up-to-date and impressive name of neuritis—keeping always in the back of-the mind a hazy notion that it is somehow related with rheumatism— which it is, both terms being meaning- less asgpopularly employed.

It can do no harm, in any gase, provided it be taken not less than fifteen min- utes before eating. Hot water at meal time tends to decrease the se- cretion of the gastric juice and slow down or delay digestion; cold water at meal time stimulates secretion and tends to improve digestion. - Plain water irritates the eyes; but the ad- dition_of a rounded teaspoonful to the pint of boiled water, cooled to body warmth renders the water about the saline strength of the tears and that makes it non-irritating ' for bathing the eyes. Stronger salt water should not be used. This “physiolog- ical” or “normal” salt solution is all right for such purpose, though it is not advisable to bathe the eyes as a constant practice.
