WOMAN'S Many a Painted Bird in an Odd Cage BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. That bird cages are fashionable as decorative elements In rooms Is seen from the fact that they have entered inte the realm of needlework. This AN OR> MAY P TRIGUING TION RIRD CAG I BUT AN 1 OF DECOR seems an odd whim of fashion. but it 1= true that some of the cages with the little painted and stuffed canaries of fabric perched on the swings are intriguing. It is equally certain tha they can be made to fit intd schemes pleasingly. Just now when porch fu nishings and fittings ave att T tention the novel idea I8 not nmiss. The cag. are made of two e of yarn to resemble painted cages of metal. In fact. the cages themselves are metal, wound with strands of yarn, the frames closely resembling lamp shade frames. These can he bought and simplify making the cages, but it is possible to utilize a round or square lamp shade frame if it is deep enough to look like a cage. | Directions for Making. An attractive way to make a cage i» to wind the frame with a rather dark or a decidedly gay-colored varn, and over this wind a strand of white or black or some contrasting shade to | form a spiral design like that found | on stick candy. At regular interva the bars of the cage are made with | atrands of the first color brought up from the lower wire to the upper one. This same method forms the hottom | and top of the cage. The strands converge, and are wound together ‘where they meet, and a tassel {s hung | Trom the center bottom, while a cord to resemble a chain comes from the top. BEDTIME STORIE Melting Snow Didn't Melt. s‘olmu things. you see, may often be ite different from the things you see —O0Id Mother Nature Peter Rabhit sat beneath an alder bush lookikng up at what looked like a Jittla pateh of snow. He “had just thought to himself that it wasn't snow hecause snow would melt. when &pang! A little drop hit him on the end of the nose. That was queer. Pater was sure that that little drop had fallen from that alder and right from that little patch of what looked llke snow. Another drop fell, and presently another. this time Peter's eves were open very wide. Could that be snow er all? He began to suspect that iy BY THIS TIME PETER'S EYES WERE OPEN VERY WIDE. it was. Spang! Another drop hit him on the nose. Yes, sir, that must be snow and it was melting. But whoever had heard of snow in the middle of the Summer. Certain: Pater never had. He hitched a step or two forward so as to get right under that branch of alder, and there he sat staring up with his mouth wide open. Such a foolish-looking fellow as Peter was! He was all curfosity. Down fell another drop, but this drop fell right into Peter's open mouth. “Why,” exclaimed Peter right aloud, “It's aweet! Yes, sir, its sweet! Now what do you know about that? Huh. that's the funniest snow I ever heard of. I've seen a lot of snow in my life, but I've never known any hefors that tasted like honey when it was melted. I wonder if I imagined it. Perhaps another drop wiil fall.” Another drop did fall, and Peter caught it in his mouth. Just like the other drop, it was sweet. It was sweet and stickey. Peter backed away a little. He didn't want to be all stuck up. If all that white patch up their was going to melt and drop down he didn’s want to be under it. ¥From where he was sitting he could watch it. Little drops continued to fall. Peter decided that at the rate those little drops were falling it wouldn't take long for that little white patch to melt away entirely. He dicided to stay until it was all jone. $°BUt it dldn't go. He staved and ataved and drops fell and fell, and so far as he could see that white patch was just as hig as it was in the be- ginning. Jf that snow was melting it had a funny way of showing it. Yes, sir, it Gid €0. The water dropped, but the cnaw didn't melt, and after drile Petar began to suspect that \¢ hac been right in the first place lors | PAGE. It you make a cage from a lamp shade you cannot very well have the projecting roof that is made on the cage frames that come ready to cover. The corners of these attractive roof- shaped portlons make good places trom which to hang little ornamental tassels. Be sure to have a bird perch- ed on a ring covered with yarn and suspended from the center top of the inside of the cage. Japanese birds or crepe naper birds may be used.

CALIFORNIA. Answer: I think that nine times out of ten a long engagement works out disastrously for both the man and the woman, and that any girl is very foolish who goes into one. Try to take a cold, dispassionate, appraising view of the proposition that this young man makes to you. He asks you to deny yourself all of the pleasures of girlhood, and to spend the 10 best years of vour life sitting on the anxious seat, on the chance that he will come back and get you. You are to have no beaux, no parties, no dates, no good times. You are just to sit at home with mother and father and suck your thumb, instead of running around and having good times with the other boys and girls. You are expected to get all the happiness you require by just thinking about him and; wondering what he is doing. Nice, cheerful prospect, isn't it? Worse still, you are to give up every opportunity to marrying anybody else, with no certainty that he will marry yvou. The 10 years between 20 and 30 are the years when a woman Is prettiest and most attractive. They are her matrimonial harvest time, and if she doesn’'t make her hay while the sun of her girlhood shines she Is apt to gather in a very poor crop. !

They are so wmuch in love that they do not stop to sider the consequences, and it isn't until afterward that Jean discovers her mother-in-law must live with them. Mrs. Morgan has taken a dislike to Jean and is always ci- tolling her daughter Florence. As a matter of fact, Florence is bored with her husband and fancies her- self in love with Merton Thorne, a college senior. Jean has known Merton lefore her marriage. and Mrs. Morgan thinks he is still in terested in her. She succeeds in planting the seed of jralousy in Conrad’s mind. Jean calls on Flor ence one afternoon and finds Mer- ton there. Later Merton walks home with her and they meet Con who shows his jcalousy openly. A quarrel follows Merton's departure. but a reconciliation ensues. Mer- ton is amazed at Con’s attitude and that night when Florence calls him on the telephone and asks him 1o come over he half promises and then decides not to go CHAPTER XXXVIIL The Pangs of Conscience. 10 that night Merton | At o'clock We're still in session here at the | Really, | Richard had | had stayed away 0 BATCHELOR managed to finish and I thoughi over the wiel feeling tonigi “I'm all r dropping b garding hin coic had to wake ‘ . the night, I don’t e have one of my h ud: it was tLoughtiess Richard.” "1 was worried ahout you been in my thoughts all das wanted i were all Yon'v and 1 right He stooped ove Florence relented er cheek. “Go to bed. vou siliv old dear she said drowsilv.

Did those little drops really come from that white patch? If they did, why, didn’t that white patch grow smaller? Over and over in his mind Peter kept turning these questions until his head ached.

It is right and proper that a well nourished baby should sleep from 6 to 6, or its equivalent, through the night. The baby needs the long rest and gets plenty of food to nourish it in the day- time hours. The fact that the baby sleeps thus of its own accord should be enough to convince the mother that there is no cause for worry. * A hun gry baby is seldom a good sleeper.

He will be able to concentrate with ease, will have the patience and the | knack of remembering and perform- | Ing dozens of little acts in daily at- | fairs without becoming fretted. It is his habit to observe minutely and to { bring his mind to bear upon the so- called small things of life. Concentration is the faculty that endows woman with the patience to perform cheerfully her small but not unimportant domestic duties. It is a very useful faculty in a person who often has an occasion to exercise it. If extremely large it makes one a master of detall. Concentration has its sign in the upper lip. It is indicated by the length of the white part of the upper lip in the center. When this is well developed, there seems to be a drop, a hangover, which extends over the red membrane section in the center. (Copyright. 1926.) —_— Coconut Rice Mold. Boil one pint of milk.

A college sophomore writes that his class has just been ‘‘discussing” some- thing 1 sald about exposure. professor asked why a basket ball player, warmed up by practice or play, is apt to suffer some sort of rea- piratory infection or other illness next day if he neglects to put on a sweater or coat during rest periods. The professor insinuates that this is the usual happening even though such a player has not been exposed to the mouth spray of anybody with such an | allment. The basket ball player is not apt to suffer in that way if he neglects to wear a sweater. One scientific fact the professor seems unable to grasp is that the respiratory infections, all of them so far as we know, are specific germ diseases and cannot occur with- out specific infection. No one carries about with him an assortment of the germs of such diseases. So far as we | know, no one carries the germs of any respiratory disease, except an occa- sional person who has recently had the disease or who is just coming down with it. It is the veriest poppycock to imagine that you or I may ‘harbor in our mouth, nose or :'l:‘r‘tut c;:mfl which may, under certain = stances, bring us down with pneu- monia, or any other respiratory infec- tion. ‘That notion is a mere quibble to befog the public when you pin them down to a definite question. The basket ball player or any one who gets “warmed up” by work, play, or exercise, whether he sweats or not. is likely to be muscle sore or lame next day if he cools off too suddenly. He is not more likely to contract any disease, however. Sudden chilling of the arm of a base ball pitcher, let us say, produces a reflex contraction or narrowing of the arterioles in his arm and that re- tards or slows down the removal of the accumulated products of combus- tion from the arm. Too long retained in and about the muscles of the arm. these acid waste products become ir- ritants and cause soreness, lameness or stiffness. This is much more likely to happen to a person not physical trained, not accustomed to vigorol exercise, than it is to the well trained athlete. The checking of sweat has noething to do with the muscle lameness just described. 1If one gets up & profuse sweat by means of artificial heat. as in a Turkish bath or other hot bath. there is no harm whatever in sudden His Besides, before you can real cure for loneliness is to cultivate DOROTHY DIX. exposure to cold immediately after- | ward, for there is no accumulation of combustion products to be dealt with. An athlete “warmed up” need not resort to a sweater or other covering between periods or after play or prac- tice if he prefers to go without. He can prevent any lameness or stiffness by resuming milk exercise for a few moments at jntervals of a few hours after the game.
