One thing atJdeast the present re- wival of Chinese things has done— 1t Has taught us ‘to throw Into the €crap heap most of our mnotions of Chinese things. We were wont to judge the whale artistic output of China by those foolish little Kick- shaws that were brought back by our acquaintances after a visit to Chinatown. There were tea sets of cheap china that would never have bearr given shelf room In any house China—because no Chinaman would ave had any use for the sugar bowls snd cream juge. They were made only for the export trade. An Amierican resident In China a fow years ago scoured the shops in vain for onc of those little flimsy Paper parasols that used to be the inevitable accessory of the American amatour actor's make-up when she wished to deplct a_Chinese or Japanese woman. They were not to be had, and the reason Was because parasols of that sort were made entirely for Occidental export. ~There were {n- stead heavily glazed paper parasols of a far better quality. It is these glazgd parasols—realy Chinese—that havePnow become well known to occi- dental women who follow the fashion for several seasons. We have had our eyes opened to the treasure house of Chinese d and decoratfon, and there ls y little chance now for the smiling slant-eyed exporter with his flimsy paper ornaments, his garish tea s &nd impossible jeweiry. It has per- haps surprised him that we possess a little artistic appreciation ourselves. Seed pearls, beloved by Chinese ladies of the Manchu set, are looked upon here with delight.’ They are turned Into headdresses, into pen- dent ear rings, into necklaces that also carry cornéllans, bits of jade and balis of amber. The seed pearl head- dresses of the Chinese ladies have been brought home by many tourists to China. They are bandeaux that go around part of the head, dripping A long string of pearls. Some have ornaments over the ears.from which hang tassels of pearls.

Looking at Egret, the snowy white cousin of Longlegs the Heron, it was hard for Danny Meadow Mouse to belleve that any one could possibly seck to harm him.

Our bables began to grow. And such a 1ot of food as they did need! “Then one day two of those dread- ful creatures called men came to that swamp, and_began to shoot with terrible guns. It was awful!

Then we saw | those hunters taking the plumes from' the birds they had shot, and we knew that it was for these that they had come to that swamp. All day those dreadful guns banged and banged. and all day long hungry babies in the nests oried for food, which they would never get because thelr fathers and mothers had been killed. “So it went on day after day until at Iast Mrs. Egret and 1 were the only ones left. How we escaped I do not know. but we did. But our babies and all the other babies starved to death. We did our best to feed them, but those terrible guns drove us away every time. That swamp had been the nesting place of Egrets for years and years and years, and we had expected always to mest therc. But we have never been back there since.” _ . “But what did those hunters want of those plumes?” Danny asked. “That is what puzzied me for & long, long time.” replied Egret. “But at last I found out. They sold them. They sold them for those other two- legged creatures called women to wear. Women wanted them to make themselves look more beautiful. ~And for this and nothing else nearly all the Egrets in the beautiful Sunny South were killed, and their bables starved to death.” | “It is the most awful thing I've ever heard of,” sald D& “It seems too | awful t6 be true” and he shivered with horror. < i ‘But it is true.” replied Egret. “Do you wonder I envy those who have no plumes?

Bays Old Baohelors Are Hardest Game to 8nare) On Catohing on 01’ Bird | DorothyDi There Are Only Two Ways to Catch a Wary ‘Old " Bachelor? Play Up the Home Stuff With a Loud Pedal or GaAway. He Will Then Discover That Your Society Is a Habit. ‘WOMAN writes me that she is In love with an old bachelor and she wants to know how to invelgle him into -the matrimonial fold. Alas. T fear that I can offer the lady no pointers worth considering on_the difficult task she has undertaken. When a woman captures an 5id bachelor and leads him to the altar, it is a matter of luck, and not of skill. If it be true that matches are made {n heaven it because her guardian angel has been working overtime, and not because of the adroitness with which ‘she has iaid her traps, It is an easy thing to capture a boy. Any woman with a preity face, a nimble foot and palavering tongue in her head can do the trick. In fact. in most cases the boy comes up and runs his head. of his own accord, into the matrimonial noose. He is overstocked with sentiment that he must unload on some one. He is in love with love, and all that any girl has 4o do is te inveigle him out into the moonlight and let him cast the robe of his romance over her. Even his grandmother could make him zslievu that she was it, and that life would be a barren waste without or. A widower is still easier to catch. He is bent on mafrimony. any- way. and he will snatch up any woman who plants herself in his way, S0 that he can’t help stumbling over her, and rush with her off to the parson. A widower is like a dog without & master; like a prisoner turned out of jail. who doesn’t know what to do with his liberty; like a school- boy who finds all the pep taken out of playing hooky because it is vaca- tion time, and nobody notices or cares what he does. TTHERE is something about domesticity that unfits a man who has once been housebroken for any other Kind of life. A man who has been accustomed to punching the home timeciock on fhe dot every eveninz and sitting down to the sort of dinner he likes without having to order it, round with | Mall, and tip the waiter, and to having hi= buttons put in his shirt. and to having somebody to blame for everythinz that goes wrong. simply can’t got along without it. He is hored to death in clubs, restaurant cooking upsets his stomach. and he finds life flavoriess without a sparring partner. So any woman who will say u few kind words to the widower and na‘:lmm on the head and feed him on angel's food can have him for the taking. Z But an old bachelor! That Is something different vet again. Mauru To begin with, a man Is generally an old bachelor because that the station in life to which he has called himself. and which by the grace of God, he has achieved. He is celibate by instinct, and the attrac- tions of the feminine sex are feeble for him, compared to his passion for personal liberty. Furthermore. he ix wary. He is experienced. n vain are the snares of the fowler laid bafore him. for he has seen them and side-stepped them a thousand times. There is not a feminine art or artifice with which he is not familiar: not a feminine apnroach that he does not know by heart; not a tactic of a managing mamma or x bobbed-hafred flapper that he hasn't checkmated with consummate weneralship a hundred times, He is no mooning youth, ready to fee the inexpressible “she” in every fluttering petticoat and diagnosing every throb of the e as a fatal attack of heart disease. He is no lonesome widower ready to eat out of any soft. white hand that will feed him. .He is a man who loves himself. loves his own ways, his own pocketbook.and latchkey, and who is ready to die defending them. Thera are practically but two ways in which & woman can break through the defenses of an old bachelor. One of these is by playing up home &tuff as her big Bertha. And even this Is only effective on the old bachelor whose bachelorhood was. so to ®peak, thrust upon him. ee e HERE are some men who never marry, who would have liked to marry. but were prevented from doing ®o by circumstamces. Sometimes a mere bov has the support of his family thrust upon him and he has to put all thoughts of marriage from him durin the sentimental years while he 1s taking care of his mother and educating his younger brothers and sisters, and_starting them in the world. Sometimes there is a shadowy romance. a love lost through death. or treachery. in the background of a man's life that explains why he has never married. These are not really bona fide old bachelors. They are potential husbands, and as they get around toward sixty the primitive fmstincts begin to rouse in them again, and they commence thinking that old age’ will be dreary with nobody but = club steward keepop- to look after them and listen to their symptoms, them to put on their winter flannels. f Then it is that the women who dangles the idea of a home before them and who knows how to make them comfy when they call, and who manifests a sympathetic attitude toward their little pecularities. can bring them to the proposing point if she plays her cards well. and I?C;IYB!“:_D herself the privilege of nursing their gout for the balance of her life. or a boarding-house | or to remind But the case-hardened old bachelor. who was born = bachelor, is a harder proposition.

JAPAN PINE—PINUS PARVIFLORA. This little pine has many features jve as to be easily recognized by of attraction and interest. Its needles | comparison with the fllustration. are the shortest of all the pines, only three-fourths to one and one-half inches long. They are in bunches of five. Of the many known specles of pines in the world, the majority have thelr needles in bunches of twos and threes. Our only native pine with needles grouped in fives is the white pine. The Asiatic white pine of the Himalayas also has its long, slender needles In fives. It is interesting that the color of the foliage of all these three pines is similar, an attractive blue-green, with a whitish bloom on the Inside, The follage coloring of most other pines is in various shad of clear green. , < Another distinctive and attractive feature of this Japan pine is the abundance of its decorative cones; bright blue-green - befors maturity, then reddish brown. They are strung in remarkable profusion along the | slender, horizontal branches. It is a broadly pyramidal tree, growing to a helght of elghty feet and, as can be seen in the illustration, in configura- tion ‘quite evidently ~forelgn - and “Japanesque.” The _bratchlets are 1ight greenish brown. The little twisted needles are in brush- 1ike tufts at the ends of the branch- lets, producing an attractive, artistic effect.
