It can be had wif a finish akin to silver, hence its I\Aml. It is not quite so lustrous and has a slightly grayich tint. In these particulars it resembles dull-finish silver or highly polished new pewter. Iron is seldom employed in house plumbing, except when price is a great consideration. Iron sinks are cult to keep clean. They rust if not con- stantly used and well washed and dried out. They are so hard that they are entirely uncongenial to dishes. SUB ROSA BY MIML Land Birds Seen at Sea. The forest fires that raged among the pine forests and fruit groves of Southern New Jersey drove the deer from their leafy hiding and sent the wild birds off over the ocean. The sallors, who were used to sea gulls and fish hawks, were surprised to notice the thrush and starling and robin flut- tering about the rigging of the vessels. “Land birds driven to sea” was the heading in one of the newspapers. ‘There are birds which can navigate the air above the waves, pick up food from the water and find vlaces to rest somewhere, but land birds look for food on the ground and have to perch in | trees or on buildings. These forest fires, | which destroyed their perches and nests, too, were a little too much for them. It's something like that with human beings. There are some of the tougher sort who can make things go, no matter what If a catastrophe of some sort drives them out of one place they can start in_somewhere else just about as well. There are other girls who have the power to adapt themselves to cir- cumstances and make the best of them. Nowadays, with the new freedom which has sprung up in woman’s life like a fire, it is hard for some of the land birds to adapt themselves to larger and less certain situations in the world. Our cities are full of these youngsters who_are looking for the larger life in the big town. Many of them do make good and have no trouble, but there are others who are in the predicament of the thrush or rooin when such a bird finds itself at sea and trying to turn the mast of a vessel into an apple tree. e thing for a girl to do is to meas- ure her own gowers add a little by way of possibllity and figure out whether she is the sort of person leave old places and old habits be- hind her. If she is sure of herself, well and good. But if she hasn’t the makings of a real sea bird in her she'd better stick to the land. This present generation was thrust out into the Jarger world without much warning. A sort of fire drove them from their old-time hiding, the seclu- sion of woman's life. The way they have adapted themselves to new modes of dress, occupation and social condi- tions is thrilling. But here and there the sea life of the modern woman .is too much for the tender bird, the flap- Flapping is all right in a llt'.le world where you feel yourself at home, but the business of navigating the sea air of modern life requires broad, strong wings. What can be done by a proud frigate bird can’t be done by a jenny wren. Most of us have acquired a broader outlook and extra strength, but it's just as well to realize that, after all, we were meant to be land birds who may THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE.

As soon as she had pronounced the name Willyum there was a sudden sound in the air like the ringing of little bells, and Madam Seero sed, The spirrits are speeking, if the preord-lnod name is Willyum let them speek again. And low and behold the bells rang even harder, so the childs name is to be Willyum, and now what do you think of Madam Seero?

He is immensely proud that he is known as a “bolter” and an “inde- pendent.” And when referred to .as a “fighter” in this connection nothing pleases him more. He believes such titles befit his posi- tion, for he claims to be the political heir, with “Young Bob” La Follette, of “Old Bob." He deems it no wrong to “bolt.” And he answers his critics always with a reason for his action. ‘Thus he went to Wilson after Wis- consin had gone nst Taft in 1912 because he regarded the former as more nearly meeting the progressive views. Then he left Wilson when he thought the war President had deserted the pro- gressive cause.
