Costumes for BY MARY An ideal costume for Winter sports @onsists of machine-knit sweater, scarf and cap. The cap should be soft and light of weight, and while you may choose to wear it far back on your head when you start out on your Winter's Jaunt, there must be enough fuliness in the cap to make it possible to draw it down a little over the forehead when the wind blows cold and the sun be- @ins to sink in the West. A hip-length fur or kidskin coat may be worn over the sweater, thougl for very active exercise you may remove it. The sweater should be warm and not too tight. fitting knitted garment is always watmer than one that is oversnug. The sweater, scarf and cap shown in the sketch were of green, with appliques of black, dark green and white. If you would like to own a similar set for Win- ter sports, you might buy a plain ma- NATURE 1 BY D. C. Chicadee Migrations.

You cannot go a-roaming through th: old-gold and russet of Andropogon grass that besets every abandoned field and meadow in the Autumn, or in the leafless woods, where the squirrels are frisky with the tang of frost, without driving up before you a host of chicd- des=s, who flit ahead like little scraps of ay-and-white paper, with ink blots for their heads. “Tisick-a-dee-dee-dee,’ they twang, like the plucking of a loose itar string. If every bird would say fi name so plainly, there would b: no further difficulty in identifying species. I do not know how the intelligence of birds can be measured or compared, one species against another, but this little roam:r from the far north, who does us the honor to #€p-nd the Winter with us, always seems to me an in- telligent species. He' is moderately tame, which is a wa¥ of uyln, that | he has caught on to the ways of men, | and larned how to pick up a living around back doors, rubbish piles, in| orchards and stubbie filds. | Yet he is not a foolish booby, like the | dodo, who was tame because he was| stupid, and allowed men to walk up to| him and hit him with a club. Chica- dees can easily be induced to come to & windowsill, ev:n when you are plainly visib'e behind the glass, and peck up | seeds. But neither human hand nog| the cat's swift paw is quick enough for these wary, merry, hardy ‘ittle Wlmzr‘ birds. | This lovable little specles has th:| qualities that many great and re- splendent animais have unfortunately | lacked—the ability to survive in the| struggle for existenc>. The nature of that struggle has altered in the few hundred years from anything known before in all the earth’s long history. The animal that will survive tomorrow is that species which can live with man and yet outwit him. Frugal, wadaptabiz, prolific courageous— . these are the virtues t spell success, and the little chicadeé has them all. He does no harm to us or our food erops, and hence he does not incur our enmity. His flesh is not palatable, his | plumage is not the cbject of women's | vanity—hence he escapes p-rsecution.| And the rigors of Winter have no terrors for him, snug in his heavy feathers. He will dive into a snow bank after buried food without hesitation, and, it is said, even at this season, 80| high ars the chicadee's spirits that | courtships are carried on. From Hudsons Bay. One cannot think of chicadees with- | out at the same time calling juncoes to | mind. They keep together in flocks as | they arrive, tossed on the north wind, | from their desolate breeding grounds in | Ungava and the neighborhood of Hud- sons Bay, and fleeing before the snow, and in search of their tiny fare, these two species, having habits so similar, find some sort of solace in each other's eompany. ‘The junco is even a more modest bird n plumage. His song, a plaintive little cascade of notes, is heard less often. And yet, with his smoke-gray feathers, save for snow-covered breast and bill, he blends into the Winter environment even more admirably than the chicadee.

He must not be confused with the snowflake, another Arctic bird, which is rarely seen in our District avi- fauna.

There are those who see in the time- | honored custom of scattering crumbs | abroad for these little W.nter birds | nothing but a sentimental habit. It never looks so to me.

Permanent Residents. Besides the chicadess and juncoes, the horned larks and Lapland long- spurs and the various sorts of wild | duck that come to Winter with us (and I must not forget the white-throat song sparrow), there is a little corporation of stout-hearted feathered citizens that appear, because we see them now in | some numbers, to have come winging | down from Northern lands to spend the Winter with us. But the birds I have in mind have never been away from Washington, or at least some individ- uals in each of these species have re- mained the year around, and are joined by others of the same clan who take advantage of the comparative mildness of our Potomac Winters. These are the birds that ornitholo- gists list as permanent residents. They are to Washington bird communities what the “cave dwellers” are to human society; they could form an “Oldest Bird Inhabitants’ Club,” and we ought to hold their name in very lar affection. The Bob White is one of them. Like most of the game-bird tribe, he does not shift his ground materially, and the kingfisher also maintains his riparian rights rigidly the whole year around. The cardinal, most brilliant of all the Winter birds, is a permanent resident, and so, , are the cedar waxwing (which I seldom see in any other season, though he is here, if con- cealed). Of course, the owls, eagles, hawks, falcons and such birds of prey do not quit their hunting grounds. purposes. The crow never lets us for- get that he is present, but if he is not a sweet singer. we should be grateful for the goldfinch and the bluebird, who also linger the whole Winter through and cheer it w'th song and colored plume.

If happiness is a matter of luck, there are certain definite feelings associated with a good day on Wall Street or a bad day at the race track. If happiness is a matter of fate, then momentary luck, good or bad, has little to do with it. Between passing luck and hounding fate there are all sorts of states of mind described as feelings of happiness. ‘What is known as the intellect seems to be associated with the feelings of happiness. On this point the psy- chology of happiness takes a curious turn. The proposition is this: A per- son may know so much that he has no feeling about what has just happened and no real concern about what may bappen. This is an old doctrine, and may explain why so many great in- tellectuals have been unhappy men Recently the psychology of happiness has turned to another theme. It is now said that happiness is. after all, 8 personal matter—personal in the sense that no one can say what makes another happy. If that is so, happiness is merely a personal feeling of compe- tency and achievement. Do a good day’s work and then take note of what happens, (Copyright, 1930.)

He has considerable wealth, but gives me a Amnlli allowance, and takes pleasure in tclling m the boy, so much to the girl and the remainder to a charitable mstitution, in- sinuating that he has left me nothing. To this statement I have never in any manner replied. However, I should hate at the mercy of my children.

T do no me to have it, but I would lik2 to know where I stand, and if I must make my own living later I would rather start out now while I am young and active. Answer—Of course, a wife has the right to know about her husband’s will, but if he does not choose to tell her there is no way in which she can force him to do so. In your case your husband is merely using the threat of cutting you off, without even the proverbial penny, to tort and jealousy are venting themselves.

Thanking you for your help, I enjoy your beauty column and find it so practical for my beauty problems. A DEVOTED READER. Answer.—(1) Swimming the crawl flutter kick is an excellent exercise for keeping the angles trim and shapely. Dancing and walking are also helpful. Rotating the foot at the ankle is a good exercise for your rpose. Also bend the toe up toward your shin and then Bend and stretch the foot point in downward alternately. Walk- ing around the room on tiptoe is also & fine exercise for making well shaped ankles. Do these movements every night and morning for several minutes, and spend one or two evenings a week at the swimming pool, gymnasium or dancing class. (3) Stand tall, with shoulders well_back, abdomen in and head erect.t Practice correct posture when sitting, standing or walking. Take a few, neck bencing exercises every night and morning. Bend your neck forward and backward, then roll the neck from the right to the left loosely between your shoulders. Massage from the cen. ter of the troat up to your ear.

Would this cause the trouble? ETHEL H. Answer.—(1) Biting the lips not only causes them to become coarse, chapped and thick, but spolls their shape in | time. Remove the cause of this nerv- | ous habit, whatever it may be, and de- |cide to build up vibrant health and | vitality. See that you have sufficient |sleep in a well ventilated bed room, and spend some time out of doors in the fresh air and sunshine every day. ‘Take setting-up exercises every morning, followed by a tepid shower and a brisk | rubdown. Cuitivate some hobby or ine | dulge in some sport in your spare time, | such as swimming, dancing, basket ball, gymnasium work, etc. You must break this bad habit by cultivating a good one in its place. Every night after washing and drying your face massage & little cold cream or skin food across | the path of the wrinkles. Leave it on for several minutes, then wipe it off and apply a little giycerin and rose- | water to your lips and leave it on over- night. Apply the lotion again in the morning and during the day when your lips feel dry. Avoid lipstick until the skin is smooth and in good condition | again, then use a white lipstick or cold |cream to keep them fresh looking. A girl of your age should not need arti- | ficial coloring on her lips: they should be red naturally. 1S LEEDS. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

In his desire for a bigger and better gavel, the Vice President decided to shelve the historic ivory and use in its place one that had been given him The new one was a thing of weight with a man size handle. A short time after the substitution had be2n made, he was banging away in characteristic fashion when suddenly the head flew off. A Senate attache, sitling in front of the dals, was almost. “beaned.” That led to a conference and an idea was evolved. The thing to do—cer- tainly the safest thing—was to install a sounding board on the Vice Presi- dent's desk. With Curtis’ consent & special sound- ing board was installed. It was found to be so effective that the historic ivory gavel was restored to use. And now everybody's happy.
