Most of the birds that plan to spend he summer here have arrived. The song season, which began late in Feb- ruary, comes to its height in May and June. The nesting season is at its busiest during May, and then it's but a step from beautiful eggs to hungry bird babies, and from them to fiedg- lings and first lessons in flying. The lengthening days, too, make closer study possible. Early in the morning or late in the afternoon is the best time. Plan your walk so that the sun is at your back. This shows up the plumage colors. And, above all, avoid the windy days, for the birds are #hy about making open flights when a Righ wind is blowing. These are di- fections given by a seasoned bird stu- dent, who keeps a bird guest book with yearly records of return. “Which of the birds are already about?” The herons—both the great blue and the little green herons—have been here most of May. The flicker— he’s a beauty, too—is well on with his MOST persons have returned from their winter trips and have not yet begun their summer journeyings. But few there are who are not plan- ning summer trips now, and the fol- lowing hints may be helpful at plan- ning time as well as at traveling time. Dust is one of the discomforts to be | combated in summer travel. Almost all | railroads are more or less dusty. We | may be thankful when we strike one | that is “less” dusty than the others. | And as dust is plentiful, so water is usually rather scarce. There is never | a plentiful supply on even the best of | our trains, so the woman who would | travel comfortably had best be pre- | pared to keep her face and hands clean. In the traveling bag there should be | room for several bottles. These bot- | tles, which need not be of more than half pint size, should have screw tops s0 that they will not be leaky. In one of them put a mixture of alco- hol and water. Rainwater or boiled | water will be softest. Use this to give | a really cleansing, as well as tonic, sponge to the face and throat after a hot, dusty trip by train.

SPONGE CAKE GENERALLY speaking, when a wo- man goes with a man to dinner at a restaurant she does nothing about the ordering. She is a guest in the same sense as she would be in a pri- vate house, and the presence of a long list of dishes printed does not entitie her to make a choice unless her wishes are asked. In that case the request is taken literally, and she may suggest one dish, no more, unless by express desire of her companion. It is not good form for a woman to pick up the menu and read it, although one will probably at once be put before her by the walter. Her reading of it would be taken by her compan- fon as a hint that she wishes to choose part, if not all, of the meal. ‘When she is asked to do so, of course, she reads the menu first. EAT three eggs very light. Beat in gradually one cupful of sugar, then beat in three tablespoonfuls cold wa- ter. Sift one cupful bread flour, pinch of salt and heaping teaspoonful baking powder together. BStr into the above mixture and add teaspoonful lemon extract - The woman, even when her opinion | is consulted, does not give an order | atrectly to the waiter. She tells her | host what she prefers, and he instructs the waliter. It is still a mooted question as to whether a woman should precede or Ifollow a man into & restaurant. Etiquette of the Reétaurant Abroad the man takes the lead, and the custom is growing in favor here. He then has an opportunity to see the table selected by the head waiter and if he does not like it to say so. A woman makes a point always in restaurants of not seeing the check when it is brought by the waiter and while the man is paying the bill. MAPLE CANDIES N O. 1.—Three cupfuls maple sugar, one cupful sirup, one-half cupful of water.

Some- times the edges are tinted or gilded. Perhaps the newest thing in station- ery is the half mourning paper. This paper has a very narrow black border, { inside of which is a border of the same width in lavender color. in ghapes of envelopes, the square and the wallet shaped with curved flaps are very much favored. Ragged edges are new, and tissue lined envel- opes are crowding forward. The latter are developed in black and white stripes, as well as purple, red and green shades. Face Massage | ‘VITH the tips of the fingers massage the forehead from temple to tem- ple with a rotary motion, then slide down to the chin and work upward from the chin close to the side of the nose to the eyes. Slide down again, each time a little farther back, and re- peat the motion until the entire face has been covered. Next work under the eyes with the middle finger from the nose outward to the corners of the eyes. Remember that the movement should be rotary and always up and out toward the ears. A good massage cream is made of sweet almonds ofl, eighty minims; cucumber juice, one ounce; lanolin, four drams; ofl of rose, four drops. Melt the oil and lanolin in a double boiler, remove from fire and stir in cucumber juice. Before the mixture cools add the perfume. Beat until <ool.

About Geraniums BIANY people save their geranfum, plants from season to season by storing them in the cellar or attic, This is a good scheme, but to get all possible good out of such an operation it is necessary to handle the plants properly. Under no conditions should the old plants be put into the ground just as they were taken out. old plants for stock——that is, he makes cuttings from them. With a sharp knife he chops the stalks into short pleces, being careful to make each cut at one of the joints or ridges. These short sections of stalk are stuck in sand which he keeps moist. The sand boxes are about three inches deep, and | the cuttings are put in close, packed in. Seventy-five per cent of these will make root in a few weeks. These he pots and grows for his spring trade. The amateur can do the same thing. If you have saved any geraniums cut them up as soon as possible and put them in sand. When they have rooted put each one in a “thumb” pot, and when the weatheér becomes fine put thern out of doors under a sash and later put them into a larger pot, a three and one-half inch one. This may seem like a lot of bother, with little time left to do it in, but keep this in mind—you cannot put plants out in your flower beds too early, so that if you start making your geraniums now you will have good sized plants by June. Again, don’t put your plants out the same as you took them up in the fall If you do not make new plants from them, at least cut them down. Cut each branch to within four inches of the roots. If you .do this to the old plants and then pot them for a month or six weeks you will have a nice stock by bedding out time. These plants will give you an abundance of flowers from the fact that they have large roots that can supply nourishment. Keep this in mind—geranium flow- , ers, to be right, should be at least five inches in diameter, and you can grow them to this size if you do as suggest- ed above.
