The Yellow Wings were called silly and foolish and absurd and crazy by their neighbors in the Old Orchar didn’t mind it in the least. It was all because of their funny antics in their lovemaking. They didn’t mind being laughed at end made fun of because they didn't even know that there were any neighbors around. They had eyes only for each other. They just didn't see other folks. That is because they were very much in Jove with each other. But life is for something besides love making, and one day, even before they started out to look for breakfast, Mrs. Yellow Wing declared that it was time to put an end to all nonsense. “Right after breakfast we'll go house | hunting,” declared she. “I love to have you pay me attention, my dear, but we have work to do. It is high time we were starting a. home. We ought to be housekeeping this very minute.” “I guess you are right.” replied Yel- | *'Of course low Wing rather regretfuily. you are right; you are always right,” he hastened to add. “Where shall we look? There are a couple of houses we have used before, one of which might do again. In that case we can get to housekeeping right away.” Mrs. Yellow Wing shook her head want a new house,” said she. course, we will look ¢t those ol but I'm sure they will not do. I want nice, bright, new walls around me and a bed of nice new chips. I want the best house we've ever had.” “Of course you shall have it if you want it,” declared Yellow Wing gal- lantly, and made her a deep bow. Mrs Yellow Wing didn’t return it as she would have the day before. She merely spread her wings and started out to | look for breakfast. Of course, Yellow Wing followed and for a while they ‘were very busy catching ants. Breakfast over, Mrs. Yellow Wing led the way straight to their last year's home. It was in a hollow in the trunk of an apple tree in the Old Orchard. Curiously enough, they hadn't looked at it since their return from the Sunny South! “It looks good to me,” Wing as he alighted beside her just be- low the door ’ of this_home. Mrs. Yellow Wing thrust her head in | the doorway, to be greeted by a hiss that sent her tumbling backward so that it was only by the quick use of her wings that she saved herself from 8 fall to the ground. She flew to the next tree, Yellow Wing following and anxiously asking what was the matter. | “Matter enough!” exclaimed Mrs Yellow Wing indignantly. “Mrs. Spooky the Screetch Owl is in there, and I do| believe she is sitting on eggs. The nerve of her to take our house!” “Well, my dear, you know it was empty and any one has a right to an empty house,” said Yellow Wing mildly.

Wall, that settles things so far as that house is concerned. Come on.” She flew over to the edge of the Green Forest to the very tree where Yellow Wing had begun drumming this Spring. In it was a hollow in which they had once nested. In fact, they had cut out that Hollow themselves.

In the past it has ben impossible o trains to carry electricity stored in bat terles owing to their enormous weight; | but & new kind of accumulator has been developed by an Irish scientist, Dr.| Jarnes Drum. To electrify a railway by ordinary methods is expensive, With the new accumulator no alteration is re- quired except that a smokeless and al- most noiseless locomotive replaces the steam engine. In tests so far made in Ireland full power from. the batteries has not been used. Purther full-power tests are to be made, and it is expected that a train with @ 60-ton load will reach a speed of over 50 miles an hour. The batteries can proylde power for 60 miles of running, and when the train stops at a station they can be recharged in_10 minutes. { It is proposed, though, to enable| trains to recharge their batteries on | the move by taking up electricty just as steam locomotives now take up | water.

Dear Miss Leeds—My complexion is all right except for the red color of my nose. What would you suggest as a remedy for this condition? 3 Q D. M Answer—Your problem is a fairly common one and there are three things necessary for & cure. These are, first, to see that your diet is of the right type and the digestive tract in perfect eondition, Second, to make sure that the circulation is good and finally, to give the skin itself the correct treat- ment. Most women are apt to give their entire consideration to care of the skin itself while the cause of a red nose is usually a sluggish circulation or a clogged digestive tract. Avold rich, heavy dishes, but eat an abun- dance of fresh, green vegetables and also drink plenty of water and & D. C, THURSDAY goodly amount of ecitrus fruit juices every day. To stimulate the circulation take a brisk shower, alternating with hot and cold water. Do this every day and if it can be done both night and | morning, so much the better, Aftor the shower rub the skin vigorously with a rough towel. Another way to stimulate the circulation is to inhale and exhale forcefully in rhythm when walking out of doors On the first steps take a short, quick sniff of sir partly filling the lowest | lobes of the lungs and thus causing | the abdomen to expand. On the second step take another sniff, this time filling the middle part of the lungs. On the third step expand the che~ | Hold the breath for two steps, then reverse the prooess by exhaling iz three pufis on the next three steps.| After ‘walking in this way for about | a block one can feel the blood cours- ing briskly and warmly through the body and extremities. 1In addition to this walking exercise it is necessary to | practice deep breathin§ regularly if | the circulation is to be kept active. | Now you are ready 'for the third step in“the treatment—local care of the skin itself. You will find the fol- lowing ointment, applied to the nose hastens the process of making the £kin of your nose the same shade as the rest of the complexion: Mix to- gether one and one-half ounces of | oxide of zinc ointment: two and one- | balf drams powdered starch: one | dram powdered sulphur; five drops ofl | | of rose one and one-half ounces cold | | cream.

(Copyright, 1981) BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN ‘ Wedding Cost. We understand from the outset that a wedding will be restricted to a man- | ner within one’s means,.but there are still two extremes. We can, and often do, go to one of these extremes. The first is that of spending all we can afford without reason. The second is that of spending as little as possible with the same lack of reason. Nat- urally folks like to make weddings oc- casions of undying memory, -but the mere expenditure of money will not 0 all. A wedding at home, to which one's nearest relatives and most intimate friends are invited, may be more im- pressive than one arranged at a loca hotel or hall gaily festooned with flo ers. Often the meaning of the cere- mony is dimmed by the brilliance and show of the setting. It s interesting to note that in the so-called “society wed- ding” few ask about the ceremony. The clothes, flowers and jewels usually re- ceive most attention and discussion. 1f one can afford to give one’s daugh- ter a wedding ceremony and celebration where all of one's friends can be invited, it may be done economically. By omit- ting expensive dinners and lavish deco- rations lerge weddings may be mini- mized in cost. Uniess one has a social position to maintain, it is not necessary to rent rooms st an exclusive caterer’s or hotel. Sooner br later one must decide defi- nitely on “how much one should spend.” The most satisfactory manner of reach- ing a conclusion is to view all of the There is the ex- pense of the trousseau, of furnishing the home and many incidental expenditures | with which every mother is familiar. The total of these costs should be eare- fully tabulated. It is no difficult matter to decide just how much of one’s personal or family capital can be justifiably spent. Ceducting the essential amounts the total one is in a fair way toward | determining what the wedding ceremony | and celebration shall cost. | |~ There are those, however, who cannot | | afford more than'a single ceremony at | home, or even at a justice of the peace. or at city hall. These weddings are not any the “poorer” for that. It should be | remembered that a daughter started off at the ceremony with an occasion within your means has an excellent precept to follow through life.
