Bees make honey and Buster Bear likes to eat it. | And T know what dew is. Dew falls at night and gets the grass all wet. But what dew has to do with honey or what honey has to do with dew, I don’t know."” Redwing the Blackbird chuckled again down in his throat. ‘“Honey- dew,’ 1id he, 't exactly honey and sn't exactly dew. The aphids make it. It looks like a tiny drop of dew and it's sweet and rather sticky. So it is called honey-dew. The ants love it. That's why they take such good care of the aphids.” “I never have heard of ants taking care of aphids,” said Peter, in an un- believing sort of voice. ““Oh, that's all right,” replied Red- wing. “There are many things you haven't heard of, Peter. 1 wouldn’t be surprised if there were a billion more things that you haven’t heard of than that you have heard of. But this t the same. Ants take care of aphids and they do it so that they may be sure of plenty honey-dew.

And over there is another ant doing the same with an- other aphid. I guess if you look down there on the ground you'll see some ants just starting up the alder.” Peter promptly went over to the foot of the alder and looked carefully. Sure enough, there were ants going up and others coming down. He saw that they were all going or coming from the branches on which those white aphids had colelcted. So he be- gan to suspect that what Redwing had sald must be true. “I never have heard of such a thing,” said Peter. *I didn't suppose ants had anything to do with aphids.” He said this out loud. Redwing heard him. “I guess,” sald Redwing, ‘“vou haven't used your eyes a whole lot, Peter. Ants take the greatest care of aphids. They even fight their ene- Yes, sir, they even fight their battles for them. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if some of these ants up here are on guard now.” “How can ants fight birds?" de- manded Peter. Redwing looked quite as puzzled as he felt. Then it came to him what was in Peter’s mind. “Ho, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha,” he laughed. “Do you think birds are the only enemies aphids off. { SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

Generally, red hair goes with impul- siveness and temper. An emotional nature nearly adways accompanies reddish locks and blus eyes. Reddish halr, verging toward brown, is an ex. cellent color, if you desire sense, strength, goodness and virtue. | A brunette will mold you to her tastes, but she will be efficient, force- ful and energetic. If you desire gush- ing emotions and pathos with one who will be more susceptible to your will, then choose a blond. Golden halr, if fine, denotes consti- tutional vigor, and is usually associ- ated with blue eyes and fair complex- ion, and this combination produces | esthetic tastes and artistic talents, Very light-haired individuals are often amusing, but not profound thinkers. This shade is usually found upon the heads of persons more enter- | taining than philosophic, whose emo- tions are transitory and manners gay | and lively, with love of dress and fondness for spectacular plays and sensational literature. H Such persons attract by thelr vivac- ity and entertaining manners. Their affections are neither deep nor last- | ing, but fickle and capricious. s have?

A heavy hat may wear longer, but few such hats are used beyond a single season, and comfort is a big item in Summer apparel. There are all sorts of braid, and you'll have to inform yourself so as to know which type you prefer. Re- member that a fancy brald becomes tiresome much sooner than something that's smooth. Neither will it wear so_well. Don’t let hubby buy his straw “lid” until he has had a halrcut. Most men wear thefr hair fairly short in Summer, and they often forget to make allowances for that. Straw hats frequently appear to be too small because they haven't conformed to the head. If a hat seems to be cor- rect in size, but won't “set right,” it very likely will after a few days of wear. The bigness of the hat should be governed by the size of the man. A small man looks submerged under a high crown and wide brim. The crown should be proportioned to his head and face, and you're the best judge of the effect. The shape of a man’s head may demand that he wear a high crown, and it IS necessary then to get a brim that's wide enough to ‘““carry” the hat. Some straw sennits are made now with “conforming” headbands. They are flexible and fit the head easil without requiring any ‘“breaking in. Other straws are made with an air space between the brim and crown. It ventilates the head and makes the hat more flexible. The edge of a rough straw brim usually has teeth. Teeth are easily broken and straw hats with rounded brims will therefore present a better long-time_appearance. Black bands are the conventional kind for the sennit, but in Summer your hushand may be one of those men who like to wear daring colors in their hatbands. It is common to wear one's club or college colors. Silk linings look nice in the store, but they make a hat warm and close and they are quickly solled. Some women want to know if a se weave isn't better than a wide . A close weave in a cheap hat will wear better than a wide weave, but well made hats may be bought in any kind of weaves. Close weaves are not warmer, as some women sus- pect, because they are usually made of finer straw, which makes a thinner hat, and lightens the weight. The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright. 1926.)

Up toa few years ago there was no sure way to prevent it. Then a few men with a scientific bent got together, experimented for 18 months, and pro- duced Larvex—that amazing liquid which mothproofs tages were built in them. If the latter were the case the order of the sylly bles most likely would have been re versed, giving “Shawhern” and “Den hern.”"* Herne, as a family name, might be either a shortening of one of these place names or. it might have co from an inn or shop sign, having original fmplied meaning, “at the sig: of the Hern.” Raisin Puffs.
