You know, Yellow Wing and his rival had been so intent on showing off before Mrs. Yellow Wing that they did not see Black Pussy steel- ing through the grass, and had it not been for the alarm given by Welcome Robin just in the nick of time, one of them or else Mrs. Yellow Wing cer- would have been caught. Black Pussy got two feathers. ‘They were from the, middle of the tail of Yellow Wing's rival. e was at once a great outcry amorg the feathered folk of the Old Orchard, and Black Pussy was glad to sneak away..

Afterward, when Yellow Wing and the stranger resumed their | attention to Mrs. Yellow Wing, re- sumed their nodding and bowing and | efforts at dancing and showing off just as if nothing had happened, Mrs. Yel low Wing experienced a sudden and complete change of heart. ‘The stranger put on just as many airs as before. He spread his wings and tail and nodded and bowed in his grandest manner, but his charm was gone. Yes, sir, his charm was gone, It went with those two tail feathers Black Pussy had pulled out.

Bits of stale sponge or angle food cake can be used to line cups into which boiled custard is poured. When chilled, this is a tempting dessert.

STAR, WASHINGTON, A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. LL. D., erudite member of the Tar- iff Commission, has had opportunity during the 62 years of his life’to ‘ob- serve at close range many men of high consequence. As commercial attache at the American_em- bassies in Rome and London, as & special representa- tive of the Departe ment of Commerce in Central and Eastern Europe, * and as a member of the Tariff Com- mission for more than five years, he has come in con- tact with many “pig hames.” And he associated as with egch, he attempted to analyze, them. A frequent contributor to magazines, | Dennis decided to put his analyzations into printed form. So, working in the moments he could spare from his duties at the Tariff on, he finally m together enough material for & This_book, containing some 340 pages, has just been printed. In it 10 men whom Dennis knows are subjected to searching study. Dennis’ sense of humor probably sug- gested for the fiflfi of his book “Gods lnd Little Pishes.” .In a delightful manner he analyzes, describu and discusses these 10 men. The idea uppermost in his mind at all times is that a man can be both a god and a little fish at the same-time. He attempts to show the great god and lttle fish characteristics in each of the 10. ‘There is, for example, Calvin Coolidge, Dennis and the former President have been friends from their youth. Twen- ty-five years ago they lived in the same boarding house in Northampton and made little excursions into local poli- tics. In his book Dennis revives memories of that time along with descriptions, estimates of character and anecdotes. Then he takes up the Coolidge of re- cent years and compares him with the | Coolidge of 25 years ago. There is ad- miration, liking and affection through- out. He insists that Coolidge has a | sense of humor. ‘There is a chapter on Senator Brook- hart of Towa and the time the Pro- gressive Senator went to Europe in 1923 ‘to make observations and exchange views with European s ume'n Among the others treated in Dennis’ book is Woodrow Wilson as s Prince- ton professor under whom the author worked as an undergraduate.
