For the roses you will need the thin- est scrt of ribbon, which comes special- 1y for flower making. 1f you cannot get that then choose thin satin ribbon. Cut the canvas about the size you want for the Negligee MARSHALL. the finished rose, somewhat over two inches in diameter. Begin making the center of the rose by passing the end of the rib- bon to the center of the canvas. Fold and twist the ribbon as shown in the sketch in the center. Then make five petals from the pink ribbon. To do this cut 2-inch lengths of the ribbon, roll the edges and gather as shown at the left. Attach five of these petals and fold over on the center as shown in the Three green leaves are added, made of narrow picot ribbon folded, stitched and turned back as shown in detail at the left. Last add tiny flowers—six in all, made from mauve, yellow, blue and pmk ribbon. These are made from | very narrow thin ribbon gathered in | circles as shown in the detail. A row | of these tiny pastel colored flowers | with green leaves is used to decorate | the sleeves of the negligee, and the | large rose is used at the belt. (Copyright, 1930.) SUMMERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. Summer and Winter, Master Crow is ubiquitous; the whole of the Chesa- peake Basin, indeed, is accounted crow country by the ornithologists—they call |it & center of distribution for the great tribe of crow—but it is hard to believe that at any season they distribute themselves at any great distance from | this region. I have mentioned Sum- mer and Winter as crow seasons, not because the crows are n&t as plentiful in Spring and Autumn, but because other birds distract us then, But I have always regarded the dead of Sum- | mer as more birdless, less lively for the | ornithologist, than the dead of Winter. So now, once again, Master Crow claims | our attention. His sultry caw-caw is |the most characteristic sound of a| | blazing Summer afternoon, when the smell of sunburned grass rises up all | about you and the heat shimmers on {the foothills of the Blue Ridge, and the brambles, “plucking you by stealth, put_berries in your hands.” The crows, it is admitted by even the most _skeptical old scientist I_know, possess a language. You will hear it freely talked these Summer days if you wander in the lonelier places. = At your | approach a sentinel on a dead tree will | warn the feeding flock; there will | be & gabbling and scolding and a flap- ping of sable wings. Then silence. To hear the crow language “spake as she is spoke,” you should sleep in a tent and hear the gossip on the crow ex- change. The language then indeed sounds almost like words; beyond any | doubt there is a vocabulary of 50 to 100 | sounds. That they all mean something | seems more than probable when you | consider the crafty intelligence of the | erow. But I am confident, from having listened long on Summer dawns inside | my tent that the crows that sit and gab- ble thus are merely doing it in many cases for the pleasure of talking, like | boys sending wireless messages to each other merely for the fun of it.

I have given in to her in every way imaginable on my wife's account—but |a fellow can stand just so much, and |I'm worn out.” | * Xk ¥ Finally the pressure grew too much | for him and he blew up.

Here is & man wanting to go to the city, but he does not know the way and he does not stop to find out. The way is plain enough, if only he would in- quire about it and then follow the well marked signs. But instead of that he spends his energy and effort trudging along one byway and another that are apt to lead anywhere but to where he to go. Day after day he labors along blindly, wearing himself out, and the end of each day leaves him as far away from the desired goal as when he started. + This is a picture of the lives many people live. They want happiness; they want all the blessedness life can give them; but they do not know how to go about getting what they want. Instead of following “the road which has been marked out by generations of human experience, they travel in all sorts of foolish directions, only to waste and weary themselves without ever lflflnll in sight of life’s true L Here is a man who associates life's true fid with riches, and who im: that ness comes through the pos- session of luxuries.

Peter | Rabbit and Jerry Muskrat had seen him arrive, and as they watched the great | white bird come sailing in in stately | fashion on those broad wings of his| they thought that somehow there must | be something wrong with their eyes.| That he was a Heron they knew in-| stantly. He couldn’t be anything but a Heron. However, neither had ever even heard of an all-white Heron, nor one | with such beautiful plumes as they soon discovered Egret carried on his back. Egret had explained that once upon | a time members of his family used to long time since any of them had ven- tured quite so far. He had told Peter and Jerry how his family had been destroyed by feather hunters, who wanted those beautiful plumes for women to wear. It was a dreadful story. The mere thought of it made Peter shiver. ¥ “I don’t suppose,” said Peter at last, “that there is any other member of your family with such beautiful plumes. Never have I seen anything like them. They are the most wonderful feathers| that a bird could have.” “I'm glad you like them,” replied Egret. “I think myself that they are| rather nice. As I told you before, we Egrets have them only at this season. | However, you are wrong in thinking| that no one else has such beautiful | plumes. I have a smaller cousin who is | handsomer than I. Yes, sir, I am forced to admit it. I have a cousin who not only has lovelier plumes than mine | growing from the back but also has a beautiful crest on the back of the head. These plumes of mine are straight, but the plumes of my cousin turn upward at the end. I don't mean to be envious, but sometimes when I see that cousin of mine at this time of year it is hard | not to have just a little envy.” | “If he is your cousin, of course he is a member of the Heron family,” said Peter. “Not only is he a Heron but he is an | Egret, which shows how closely related | he is,” replied the big white bird. “If your name is Egret and his name | is Egret, I should think you would be mixed up most of the time,” said Peter. “We are not” replied Egret. “You see, it is this way: I am called just!

Had any one told me that some members of that family dressed all in white, I would have thought that that person didn't know what he was talking about.” “We are not the only White Herons,” said Egret. “I came up from the South with some young cousins of mine who dressed in white. It wouldn’t surpris me to see one or more of them over here, because I parted from them at the mouth of this brook.” Copyright, 1930.) Peach Conserve.
