He and Mrs. Bpeckles had been outcasts among the other teathered folk. Nobody wanted anything to do with them or would have anything to do with them. They were gossiped about by all the other feathered folk. My, m; how they were gossiped about Tommy Tit the Chickadee was the oniy one who stood up for them. He didn’t really stand up for them. Wh he did stand up for wes for fair play. Tommy is a very wise little bird. Everybody loves him. He is cheery and good-natured and happy all day Jong. It was Tommy who suggested that perhaps they didn't know all thay ought to know about Speckles Fuartling. He was laughed at and made fun of. But he insisted that he was right. He insisted so persistently little | the | N’S PAGE: and Innovations MARSHALL. ,|little innovation or other in the bride's ensemble. The fan incidentally was of rose point lace and, as I sald, rather small. Fven now that rather smaller fans have come into favor there are some notable women to be seen With ostrich fans of enormous size. My attention was attracted the other evening to Mrs. Morris de Peyster, who carries a feather fan of perfectly enormous And when one of these really e ostrich fans is actually in action is something that cannot be ig- nored. A revival of interest in fans has heon quite notable at the opera recent- nd the newest sorts are of un- v willow ostrich_of lovely col- Some of these are 72 inches deep | and apparently the deeper the better, | for they ave used not so much for the | purpose of providing ventilation as to | furnish a splash of lovely fluttering color. | There are, to be sure, smaller os. | trich fans—some of them quite small, | though these are not the sort one sees o much at the opera, Quite small stick fans with rhinestone studded sticks are chosen for dancing by some | women, and there are specially made | hags of brocade with jeweled tops in which these fans ave carried. To give vour Winter coat or cloth | frock a touch of distinction you should have one of the new felt bouquets. The really nice ones are rather expen- sive, but you can make them yourself at very small cost. All you need is the pattern from which to cut the { leaves and petals, and this I will glad- Iy send you on receipt of stamped, elf-addressed envelope—with full di- rections for making and a sketch of | the finished nos (Conyright, 1928.) that finally it was decided to put Speckles on trial. Yes, sir, it was de- | cided to put 8peckles on trial. That is, {it was agreed to do so, provided Speckles would go on trial, or provided they could make him go on trial. When the idea was first suggested to Speckles he refused prompt and he got quite peeved about it. Yes, sir, | he got quite peeved about it. He said | that what he and Mrs. Speckles did was no business of their neighbors. He said he could attend to his own affairs, and he invited his neighbors to attend to theirs. Speckles got very | indignant, inde So then it was decided that Speckles must be made to stand trial. § agreed to bring him to ¥ the Crow said he would act as | judge. All the other feathered folk agreed that they would tell what they knew about Speckles and his ways That is, all agreed to this excepting Tommy Tit the Chickadee. So it was agreed that Sammy should at once go about bringing Speckles to trial in the 0ld Orchard. Now this is the way that Sammy went about it. He waited until Spe | kles was over in the Old Orchard. Then he picked a quarrel with Spec- kles. You know, Sammy delights to pick quarrels with other people, and Speckles is just like him in this re- spect. So there was no trouble at all in picking a quarrel. Now you know what a quarrel leads to, or is very likely to lead to. It is very likely to lead to a fight. That is just what hap- pened this time. In no time at all | Sammy Jay and Speckles were fight- ing. It was a good fight while it last- ed. Speckles is no coward. He fought and he fought hard. Meanwhile Sammy Jay was scream- ing at the top of his lungs, “Thiel: { Thief! Thief: Fight! Fight! Fighi | That brought everybody within sound | of his voice, just as he knew it would. Pretty soon all the little feathered folk | were gathered about the two fightery. Samm: as a little bit the bigger angd | a little bit the stronger. After a while Speckles tried to get away, but the others wouldn't Jet him. Bo at kst Speckles was xo tired out that he just couldn’t fight any more, nor could he fiy away. Then Sammy Jay stopped fighting. “Now,” said Sammy. as he tried to smooth out his rumpled feathers, “we’ll have a trial. He turned on Speckles fiercely. “If you are wise,” wald he, “you'll answer the questions |and answer them fully. i (Copyright. 1928.) BY THORNTON W.

EAR MISS DIX: What do you think of a young woman who after a vear's marringe has virtually forgotten her own mother? I have only this one child and 1 self vthing for her, gave her a good education and evers veur ago she got married and moved %o n distant city and she hardly ever writes to me, It has been four months now since T ha from her, yet when she was engaged to the man she eveled she used to write to him ‘every day. Which should come first with a Rirl, mother or a hushand? Do you think her hushand is trving to keep her from writing to me? HEARTBROKIN MOTHER. Answer: No. no. Don't blame the hushand. There is not the remotest chance that he is to blame and that he fs keeping your daughter from y you. “rm;'fx;".;.uy that she is young and selfish and intent on her own pleasure and absorbed in her new life. She is not even intentionally cruel to you. She fust doesn’t realize how anxious you are to hear from her or what her letters mean to you. Perhaps the greatest of all of the sins of omission that we commit is when we fail to write the letters that we ought to write. The letters back home. The letters of condolence to friends who have met with misfortunes. The lotters of congratulation and good wishes that would add still another thrill to the happiness of those who are rejoicing over some bit of good luck. The letters to old schoolmates, to old neighbors that would keep alive a heautitul and comforting friendship. The letters to sick people who are shut in and have few interests in life. The letters to lonely people whose hearts would be warmed by the knowledge that we still thought of them. What comfort, what cheer, what happiness such letters wounld bring, and we all mean to write them. but it is an effort to get together pen and ink and paper, and the hour and the mood do not coincide, and we keep putting it off and putting it off, and in the end we never write at all. Tt is not very often that a daughter fails to write back home to her mother after she leaves home. Generally she keeps the mails hot telling mother about evervthing that she is doing, and her new surroundings, and her new clothes, and her new house, and what a perfectly wonderful job or w hushand she Because, as a rule, women like to write letters, also like an audience of whose interest they are sure, and likewise they have a keener understanding of how eager the one who is left behind is for news of the wande But it is a very common thing for men to neglect writing to their mothers. They are husy. They are ahsorbed in their careers and thelr Pleasures and they forget how the mother's heart yearns after tidings of | them, and that to hear ‘the ‘smallest thing connected with them is of more | importance than anything else on earth, The men and women who leave home do not realize how lonely is the | old home after they have left. Krom the day they were born they have made their mother’s life. They have been her chief interest, their comings and goings have heen of vital importance to her, and when they go they take her interest in life with them, She cannot follow them in body, but she can in mind, and so the least that they can do is to write her long letters telling her every unimportant detail of their existence, where they go, whom they meet, what they wear, what they eat.. Nothing is too small to be thrillingly interesting to her. And if they will only put in their letters some of the love and appreciation they feel for her they will set the sun again in her heavens. It the grownup sons and daughters out in the world could vision mother’s wistful face at the door watching for the postman and her triumph and joy when he st , and the sick despair that fills her when he passes by, there would not be so many mothers looking in vain for the letter that never comes. g DOROTHY DIX. ..
