WOMEN’ S FEATURES. Bedtime The Young Duck’s Mistake. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. The needless risk Is a mistake e. T T RS S e NN HE young ‘Wood Ducks and the young Mallard Ducks in the Pond of Paddy the Beaver over in the Green Forest were now nearly as big as their parents. Fine smart young Ducks were they, for they had learned their lessons well. The time was approaching for the long journey to the South. For some time now they had been flying daily, testing out their Wwings, strengthening them. Often they left the pond of Paddy the Beaver and flew down to the Big River. In fact, they had to in order to get food enough, for there was not sufficient in | Paddy’s pond for so many Ducks. | Swift of wing are most Ducks when | in full flight, and it was so with these | young Ducks. They gloried in their | strength and speed. As a rule, they | flew together, for they had long since learned that many eyes are better than a single pair in watching for SHE TOOK THE YOUNG DUCK TO ONE SIDE AND SCOLDED HER WELL. danger. Adventures they had, many of them, of course. It is so with all the furred and feathered folk grow- ing up. It could hardly be otherwise. So not infrequently the Ducks would have to scatter and plunge into hid- ing to escape an enemy. | had lingered behind when her broth- | ability to fly. Stories most of their time on the Big River now, for in the shallow water along the shores, where wild rice grew and other water plants, there was good feeding, and at the same time there was good cover in which to hide. In there they had little to fear. It happened one day that the young Duck who was so proud of her flying ers and sisters had left one feeding ground to go to another some dis- tance down the river. After a while she swam out into the open water. As she did so she saw. high up in the sky, a Hawk. She knew it was a | member of the Hawk family, though | just which Hawk she dida't know. What she should have done was to have gone straight back in among the | rushes, where she would be hidden, | but she made the mistake of not | doing this. She made the mistake of putting too much confidence into her She made the mistake of taking to her wings, instead of swimming back among the rushes. (Copyright. 1935.) How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON.

She was very proud of her flying. Sometimes they would have a short race in the air. Always it was this one who won. | Especially proud was she when one day she outflew her mother and father. “I can fly so fast that nobody can catch me.” she boasted. Her mother heard her. She took the young Duck to one side and scold- ed her well. “Just because you can fly faster than your parents or your brothers and sisters, don't for an in- stant think that no one can fly as | fast as you can. If ever Falco the Duck Hawk should start after you, you would soon find out that he can fly faster than you can. I give you fair warning; don’t try to outfly him.” The young Duck made no reply. Privately she hoped that Falco the Duck Hawk would appear and give her a chance to show her mother what real flying was. She had seen various members of the Hawk family from time to time and once one of them had been one of Falco's chil- dren who had not yet come into his full powers. Three times he had plunged at her, and three times she had had no difficulty in escaping him by the use of her swift wings. So she had come to think that really she had nothing to fear from any | Hawk. | Now, all this time Falco the Duck Hawk had been keeping watch of the young Ducks. Not once had he tried to catch one while they were in the pond of Paddy the Beaver, for he knew that his chances there were poor. When they had begun to fly down to the Big River Falco had been | more watchful than ever. Down there sooner or later he would have a | chance at one of those Ducks out in the open. He felt sure of it. The young Ducks were spending Who Are You? The Romance of Your Name. BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. TH’IS name was derived from the Cornish, British and Gaelic words for crag, rock or stone. It has been a surname well known in Scotiand | for many centuries. It is the name of a parish. in Forfarshire and the name of an estate in Perthshire. There is a locality in Ayrshire called | Craighead, and one encounters numer- ous parishes throughout Scotland | named Craigie. The coat of arms here shown is borne by Craigs in the United States, a great many of whom are the de- scendants of James Craig, who was born in Scotland and came to Amer- ica about 1717, settling in Philadel- phia. He died in 1793 and is buried in St. Peter's churchyard in Phila- in Philadelphia before 1760. Another line of Craigs in America | was early established by Charles Craig, | who also settled in Pennsylvania. He | was born in the city of Dublin, Ire-| land, about 1727, and it is recorded | that he owned considerable property | in Treland, principally in Monaghan | County.

Luni 7 1 e o Mai Meni; Nature’s BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY, t you call weeds— mullein, yarrow— es and sift their seeds Where any grassy wheel-track leads, Through country byways narrow.” ~—Lucy Larcoube. ALUTE the moth mullein when next you meet her, for she has mastered several important de- tails that assure her a long life and a prosperous one. This, of course, is what any one would con- cede as progress. Your first glance at her during the Summer convinces you that she is handsome, though somewhat haughty in her bearing. This is due to her tall stalk. The lemon-yellow flowers are along the upper part of the stem and the very lovely gray-green frost- like leaves are at the base. Upon ex- amination you will find the leaves very thick, and under a glass they show @& fretwork of sharp white spikes. This at once explains the reason cattle fight shy of the plant, and why, no matter how hungry they are, the mullein is passed by. In the olden days, when rouge was very scarce among the country belles, they used to gather the leaves and rub their cheeks with them. They had rosy cheeks at first, all right, but the following day they had purple ones, for the rasplike texture of the | leaves had played havoc with their | skins. The mullein scores again by devel- | oping a perfect root system. Her | leaves. it is true, store and hold mois- | ture during long-continued droughts, | but her taproot goes well into the sub- | soil, where food and water are easily | obtained. This is not all the thrifty plant has ‘]Derlected in her battle for survival. ON THE P McCORMICK'S Mayonnaise The finest you’ve ever tasted. Accepted by American Med- ical Assn. Buy a large jar now.
