It is a European tree which has made its home among us for many years and proven to be very valuable as an ornamental tree as well as a most efficent wind-break. In May the Norway spruce is in bloom and it is a very pretty sight, indeed. | The wine-colored, pistillate cones lift upward from the twigs. The pollen- bearing catkins are on the short termi- nal branches. The wee catkins grow on soft white stems from the base of the scales which guarded them all winter. These little _caterpillar-looking catkins are filled with golden dust. The young cones stand upright and the winds blow the pollen to the ovules or seed-box. The young cones are a purplish red, and stand for some time after the scale has closed over the precious pollen. The kindly winds waft the pollen from cone to cone. Later the little pollen contatner turns around and downward, just as if she knew what she was doing. | Later she will be a beautiful green and late in the fall when the seeds are ripe she will be wearing a rich brown coat, You will find these cones at the tip of the branches; they hang downward and are from four to six inches long. The scales are broad and thin toward | the notched tips. They are arranged | in spiral rows of five. The cone is the | seed-box and has a great amount of resin on it. In the fall, when the seeds are ripe, the squirreis are most im- patient to get to them, you will see them tear away the scales in their eagerness to get to the rich seeds. The twig of this year has the pointed leaves growing from its brown stem, each from a short ridge.

Every- thing they do is a possible subject for idle comment. The stock of supposedly queer traits increases. Gossip about them hardens into conviction; they are said to be queer. It is popularly supposed that the gifted but queer are born that way. This popular notion is only about half true. The individual is born with cer- tain unusual abilities, but he appears | queer merely because his talents keep developing out of step with his social environment. | (Copyright. 1932.) | ‘Their understand how is some streak of sbnormality in their make-up.

In form the Norway spruce is a beau- tiful cone. Its lovely tip slants to the drooping branches down to the very last one. The branches shed the snow, and this is a most wise plan of Nature, otherwise, with its heavy foliage through the entire winter and where the snows are deep, this burden would be too much for the twigs and branches.

BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. e | HE writer of these unique “f’s” is apparently an even tempered, quiet dispositioned person. She probably is naturally an unemo- tional type, and not one Who is calm merely through self-repres- sion. People would admire the poised confidence which she radiates, and would turn to her for advie® or sym- pathy. Both within and without her home we should expect to find her very methodical, being completely satisfied only when every last detail was attended to.” Confusion and disorder ~would likely sin against her love of doing things exactly right. She would ap- parently be extremely unhappy around careless or untidy people. The unusual “r’ strengthens first_impressions of the writer. our It is Her interest in literature might chiefly be of a recreational trend, stories of character delineation holding her at- tention. She seemingly has a natural bent for work along the lines of social serv- ice. Her gracious sympathy, coupled with her apparent inability to be too deeply affected emotionally by poverty and distress, would qualify her for this field. Unemployment relief projects would afford a somewhat similar outlet for_her talents. Should such work not appeal to her then the operation of a ‘woman's exchange” would seem to be a logical Properly conducted. these co- operative little exchanges, where fancy goods and home manufactured articles are sold on commission for the makers offer a chance for profit.

Reddy walked all around that big pan of food | Long and bitter experience had taught him to be suspicious of everything, espe- | cially of everything man had had any thing to do with. | But such hunger as was his was not | long to be denied, and soon Reddy was | gulping down such a feast as he had not known for a long time. With every mouthful he felt his strength returning. | When he could eat no more there was still a big bone with a lot of meat on it. This he took back behind the bar- Is and lay down to rest and wait for what might happen next. | For a long time nothing happened and at last Reddy took a nap. He was | awakened by a slight noise outside the barn. The door opened just a little, | but no ‘one came in. His sharp ears | caught the sound of footsteps and they | were going away. For a long time | Reddy waited. Then he crept out. That door was still open. The opening was | just big enough for him to pass through. | He was tempted to rush out. He didn't. | | He cautiously stole over and peeped out | |to make sure that no Dog or hunter was waiting for him. Then he turned, | ran swiftly back to the barrels, picked up that big bone and once more ap- proached the door. As before, he peeped out carefully. The way was clear. He was sure of it. He slipped out, darted around the sorner of the barn, and sped away across the snow-covered Green Meadows, straight for the Old Pasture. And how he ran! Rested and full-fed, his | strength had returned. Farmer Brown's | Boy, watching from a window of the | house, chuckled happily. | “I've brought you something,” said Reddy, proudly, a5 he laid the big bone with meat on it at the feet of Mrs. | Reddy, and then stood back and | | watched her pounce on it and begin to | tear the meat from it.
