.WOMAN’S PAGE. Parrots as Popular Decorations *BY MARY MARSHALL. Every season fashion claims some Bird as her special mascot. One sea- son the ‘wise owl perched itselt on women's hats—or rather two bead eyes were set in a fluff of soft feath- ers to resemble the head of this bird of wisdom. The pheasant is occa- sfonally favorite, and at times the cock or chanticleer has enjoyed a vogue among smart women that quite belies his humble barnyard origin. And now comes the parrot. And the most interesting thing about this fad is that the parrot need not be made of feathers. In fact, he seems to be looked upon with greater favor by fashionable women when he is made of some such stuff of trifling worth as white cord. Really charming parrots may be made of peanuts and bits of bright- colored tissue paper, you know. You slash up the green and red paper to imitate the parrot's tail feathers and paste this on the stem end of the pea- nut. The other end bears the sem- Dblance to the parrot’s head with his heavy bill. A little paint marks eyes and gives color to what is not covered Wwith tissue paper. To be sure these little p anut parrots are not used on hats. ~ dut they do make charming docorations and table favors placed on little swings of cord and wire. The sketch shows a navy blue milan hat with upturned brim edged With white cord. The parrot is like- Wwise mads of white cord, lacking any suggestion of the rot's brilliant plumage. But the parrot colorings are in good repute. One of the mil- liners has gone in for love birds—all in the parrot family as far as fash- fon; Bo—and has made charming hats, each one of which combines me of the soft bright colors found in the plumage of these little birds that die of grief when they are sepa- rated from their mates.

I don’t pro- pose to sit up all night for Jimmy Skunk or any one eise. If I can get into that bunk without disturbing Jimmy I'll be all right.” So Farmer Brown's Boy got ready for bed. Very slowly he tiptoed over to the bunk and climbed into it. Then with a sigh of relief he rolled up in his blankets and soon was fast asleep. So Farmer Brown's Boy slept in the bunk, and Jimmy Skunk slept under the bunk. Jimmy was the first one up the next morning. Farmer Brown's Boy was awakened by the rattling of tin. At first he couldn’t think what thig might be. Then he remembered who had spent the night in that sugar house with him. He peeped over the edge of his bunk and right away he saw Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy was pok- Ing about” some sap pails, and had made the noise which had awakened Farmer Brown's Boy. The latter watched Jimmy for a while. “I wish I'd left that door open last night,” he muttered. “If 1 had Jimmy might have gone out. As it is, he is shut in here. My goodness, it would be awful if Jimmy should take a notion to use some of that scent of his in here! As long as I lie here I guess I am all right.

He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore will he lift up tie head.—Ps. 110.. By the wayside, in & country where I often go to rest in the summer, there is a small, cool) crystal spring; and by the spring there is a little cup, hanging on the broken branch of a tree; and that silent .cup says clearly that the water flows for every one who is thirsty and will ‘stoop down to drink. By the spring of the water of ever- lasting life there is also a cup which tells the same story. But it is not for you alone. Not far away there is sure to be a little child waiting for you to give the cup or cold water in the Master's name, There is a place in Christ's army for every soul that belongs to Him, d a spot on the battlefield whero h soldier is needed. In a certain battle, not long ago, the officer of a battalion arrived late, Dashing up to his chief, he asked where he should lead his troops. “Go where you plcase” was the apswer, “there is good fighting all along the line.” Yes, there is good fighting all along the line for Christ!

BY MARY BLAKE. Taurus. The vibrations during the early part of the day are quite beneficial, although risky matters. involving financial credit or stock operations of a doubtful or speculative charac- ter, should be avoided, Toward the latter part of the day conditions change and lead to misjudgment, loss | or excesses. No detision on any im- | portant matter should be made. | A child born today will have nor- ‘mal health, and be gifted with keen diwcernment, alloyed with a good deal of doubt and distrust. If today is your birthday you have a steady character and a disposition of a very variable nature. .Some- times ou are extremély gay and lively, at other times You are quite depressed and unhappy. The for- mer condition exists when you per- mit your emotional gualities to as- sert their supremacy over the doubts and misgivings which are responsible for the latter attitude. There is this struggle going on within you all the time, and you cannot.overcome the doubts that assail you, nor allay the suspicion existing in your mind_as to the acts and words of others. You endeavor to display a cordiality and heartiness which are belfed by your real thoughts and all 'too soon find that “doubt indulged soon becomes doubt realized.” outcome and suspicion of associates have often contributed to loat’ op- portunities, whereas other results might have been accomplished by the exercise of a little more confidence in_human nature, In your home life, you try to believe—as you should—that faith- fulnesa and constancy prevail, but the demon of doubt makes his ‘pres- ence felt and “all seems {nfected that the infected spy, as all looks yellow to_the jaundiced eye.” While it i inadvisable to be too trustful or oredulous, human beings, as a body, are not as designing or evil-minded as some would have us believe, and it must always be borne in mind that the evil done in this world is more freely advertised than the good accomplished. * v A “certain amount of distrust is wholesome, but not as much of others as_of ourselves. - Well known persoms born on,this date are: James Buchanan, fifteenth president of the United States; John M.

C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1924 wi Teodtiy Bo Prefer Quiet, Modest, Shrinking Girl Is Every Man’s Ideal—But He Takes the Independent, Hearty, Healthy, Stylish One Out to Dinner. YOUNG woman asks this question: *“What kind of girls do men, as a rule, like best—the modern or the old-fashioned kind?" You cannot give a definite answer to that question because there are many men of many minds about women and every man has a different mind about the sort of woman he prefers. Some men adore baby dolls, while others crave goddesses, divinely fair and most divinely tall. Some men are intrigued by beautiful morons who ask them fool questions, while others dote on highbrows who discourse upon the Einstein theory. The Turks fill their harems with fat ladies. while only a living skeleton may hope to liold the affections of an American husband. And o it goes. Bach man to his taste, and & wedding ring for every woman who wants one, he she tall or short, falr or dark, thin or stout, plain or pretty,’ witty or dull, a perfect thirty-six or an awful forty-eight. Broadly speaking, however, T should say that the favorite typé of girl is the 1925 sports model, stream-line effect, artistically painted, a good hill climber and capable of making ninety miles an hour on the level. . Of course, I know that thousands of men will say that a glr‘t of this class is too fast for them, and that she is upholstered too much, and that she is more: for pleasure than for daily service, and that her upkeep is much for them. anyway; and that what they want is a good, practi old-fashioned girl of the type that used to be in vogue about the time of the Spanish war—the sort of a girl that mother was, with no foolishnegs or flummery about her, and not so kalsomined up that yéu can't see what you are geiting when you pick her out TTHE aquiet. modest, shrinking, doméstic girl—darling little Alice-sit-by- the-fire—that is every man's ideal woman, just as the classics are his ideal lfterature and grand opéra is his ideal music. But he leaves them all on the shelf, while he turns to the sporting page and comic strip in the newspapers when he has a few minutes to read, and then steps out with the flossiest girl he knows to listen to jasa. Somehow our taste in people changes to meet the new fashions just as it does in clothes, and the characteristics that are admirable in one generation are as unattractive as the garments they wore. We can no more get up any enthusiasm for the manners and personalities of our parents and grandparents than we can for the bustles or hoop skirts, and Prince Albert coats. and pegtop trousers that they wore. They were all right Probably* better than ours, but old-fashioned. Not for us! It used to be considered elegant and distinguished, for instance, for a irl to be fragile and delicate. She cultivated semi-invalldism. She minced at her food and ate no more than a bird. - She would have been horrified at the thought of walking a mile, and, she swooned at the sight of a drop of blood. Can you imagine the men of today bothering with that type of girl? Not much. She would be left alone on her sofa. The only girl who has any beaux in these days is the husky, hearty, healthy girl, who can play golf all day and dance all night, and still be going strong, and who is Jjust about as liable to faint at the sight of a wound as a butcher is. In other days the helpless. clinging-vine type was the admired of men. The' woman who sat down and wrung her hands was the one whom -men rushed to sypport. It was considered a proof of feminine tenderness for a female to be able to turn on the hydrant and flood the place with tears, Men don’t hasten to wipe away the pearly drops that flow from the eyes of the human geyser now.

Good weather for outdoor sports can be counted upon from now on, so the woman who wants to improve her appearance had better begin looking about for a country or a tennis club to join. Every one nowadays plays tendis; at least, every one should. There is nothing except swimming to beat it for giving one a quick e a trim and graceful flgure. Any va- cant -lot big enough for even the smallest house is big enough for a tennis court, and though the laying out of a proper one is not easy, yet it is not too difficult for the amateur to try, especially as there are dozens of good books on how it should be done. Best of all, it is not expensivo to make a good court. If_you haven't the necessary space for tennis or the energy to play, you can get fresh air and enjoyment and a certain amount of very mild exer- cise out of the good, old-fashioned| game of croquet.
