THB PUNCTUAL PARROT
t lin punctual" mid tlx punt
“I am glad you are If It la a ales
thing to b" mid the canary bird
“It la a eery nice thing to be” mid
the parrot "It la most extremely nice
— otherwise I wouldn’t ' be such
thing"
"I see I see” said the canary bird
blinking his little bead-Uke eyes
"I know you see" said the parrot
"Well It was eery wise of me and
t nice of me" - mid the canary bird
chirping cheerfully "to say that I was
"glad you were It If It was bice to be
I didn’t know what to say at first or
which thing to say first
"I thought of two things I might
haee said Ttn glad you are If It Is a
nice thing to be— "
"That Is Just what you did my" the
parrot raid In a shrl'l voice
"I know It" raid the canary bird
"But I was going to add that I could
have said something else If I had uot
raid that"
"It sounds a little mlxed-up" mid
the parrot
"It’s not If you will listen” remark-
ed the canary bird putting his bead
-on one side
"I will listen” raid the parrot
"I might haee said that I was sorry
you were such a thing If It were not
a nice thing to be Because I didn’t
know whether you were glad or sorry
you were whatever you are— punc-
tual” "Now I understand” said ths parrot
"You were being a very wise young
bird Well I am glad I am punctual
And punctual Is a word which means
on time
"I am on time In everything I do
believe In being on time In fact"
"I don’t see" remarked the canary
bird "how you are on time In every-
"Allis Allis Get U pi"
thing you do— for when you are on
your perch you eat and often shriek
or talk and you sleep there too Time
Isn’t your perch Is It?"
"Time" said the parrot "Is some-
thing you don’t understand — any mors
than you understand what It meant
to be punctuaL”
’ 1 "That’s right" said the canary bird
don’t understand so you might as
well explain”
These two birds were In their sepa-
rate cages and before they 'continued
their talk they each had a little meal
of seed and a drink of water
! "I will explain” said the parrot af-
ter a moment
"When a creature Is on time we
mean that the creature has arrived or
le ready for what he Is going 'to do at
the time he said -
"Now there are some folks who will
ray at night ‘Oh I must get up early
tomorrow-morning 1’ But when morn-
lng comes they are sleepy and they
decide they don’t care If they are a
little late
- "Then there are others who are
meeting friends and they will say
What Is five or ten minutes? I don’t
mind If I’m a little late I’d rather
keep my friend waiting than be kept
waiting myself’
"Those people don’t care about being
punctual — that is they don’t ' care
about being on time— or In other
words they don’t care about doing
things when they should do them
"I do I eat on time — when I have
hungry time I I sleep on time — when
I have sleepy time! And I get up In
the morning' on time
- "But I won’t let the mistress be late
1 see that she is punctual Do you
know how?”
i "How?” asked the Canary bird -
"I call ’Allle Allle Allle get up get
up get up I’ and she obeys me”
"That Is when you are shrieking In
the morning?” asked the canary bird
“Yes” replied the parrot
"Well I can see then how you make
her punctual” the canary bird replied
"I couldn’t wake her up with my sing-
ing but your voice Is loud and shrill”
"It Is” answered the parrot r’oudly

Geraldine was staying with her

One -day as they were visiting the
town’s poorer districts Geraldine no-
ticed three rather untidy children
playing In front of a house and re-
marked about It -
"There -are ten children living In
that house and only one mother to
care for all of them so she cannot al-
ways keep them as clean as mother
who have only one or two to care for’

Ornament Is Brought Back as a
Pronounced Fashion
V v
f Pearls Allowsd to Hang
Length Instead of Being '
Wrapped Around Neck
The French designers have brought
mcktet fashion huge necklaces from
aa ornamental past They are not
made sf Jewels yet they are cost-
ly and the supply of fine ones rapidly
diminishes Ones upon a - time our
Indians bartered peltries for bright
beads Such was the foundation of
some of oar great American fortunes
Today declares n fashion writer
there are women who vehemently de-
clare that they would barter their sec-
ond year fur pieces for a gay neck-
lace They sell old clothes In order
to get one of them much desired pos-
sessions It Is the hoar of the necklace ‘ All
that has gone before Is ss nothing to
what now exists And mind yon the
necklace la not of precious stones
There are few well dressed women
who wear any precious stones about
the neck except pearls Diamonds hold
a place with some bnt they are not
considered among weU dressed women
as ah ornament of parts Costly they
are It is true and In unique settings
of carved platlnnm they have their
place bnt the bare bald crude dia-
mond necklace is a bit blatant for the
fastidious woman She prefers pearls
and so it seems does every other wo-
man who can buy n string from six
dollars up -If
the attention of the latter class
la turned toward the barbaric neck-
laces It may be that they will quickly
fall Into disuse but one thing Is cer-
tain which is that six dollars will go
a abort way toward purchasing one of
the rare necklaces of the hour
An Individual designer of clothes In
New York found himself the for-
tunate possessor of a half dozen neck-
laces which he had seen In an antique
shop where they were thrown over a
string In the back of the store' He
immediately purchased them Then
the French fashion found - Its way
across the ocean into America and the
designer attached his necklaces to
costly gowns either at the- neck or at
the waistline and they added to the
price he asked for the garment
There is nothing fastidious or deli-
cate about the new chains they are
as heavy In appeamce as medieval
armor They are made of great rings
or long oblong links and the plaque
or medallion In which they end looks
like a Japanese crest It Is as full of
color and as massive as the Egyptian
jewelry of other centuries
All of these new chains are short
The big carved medallion rests on ths
bast They do not reach to the waist
which Is the desire of the precious
stones The woman who owns e mar-
velous string of pearls how lets It
hang to its full length you know in-
stead of wrapping It around her neck
several times in royal fashion
TO DETECT IMPURE MATERIAL
tlllt Linen Leather Among the Vari-
ous Articles That Are Being Clev-
erly Counterfeited
Ths "beware of Imitations” lino ad
common In advertisements Is really a
piece of good advice observes a cor-
respondent An almost limitless
amount of ingenuity la devoted to pro-
ducing cheap substitutes for popular
articles In appearance they must
rival the genuine so It Is well to know
how their real quality mnst be tested
Nothing for instance la more satis-
fying to eye and touch than pure linen
and most woman shoppers believe It
has a distinctive "feet”
It bas but mixed with the linen of
the next tablecloth you examine may
be mercerized cotton treated with
magnesia so that It counterfeits this
“feel” An easy test Is to bold the
fabric up to the light Along the

TRETTURE OF CAFE AU LAIT
Cafe au lalt forms this smart tret-
ture that should appeal to many wo-
man The eurplloo waist has a large
collar of beaver and ths boll sleeves
srs edged with the same fur - Tassels
of brown silk add an affective touch
threads of good linen tiny knots will
show Cotton threads are smooth -An
Infallible method is to soak a corner
of the napkin in glycerin If It be-
conies translucent It Is pure linen If It
remains opaque It Is cotton
Short skirts make stockings a dis-
tinctly conspicuous feature of woman’s
dress so the demand was greatly In-
creased for silk substitutes Some are
made of wood pulp others of artificial
silk Cotton of course Is mixed with
good silk and a poor quality product
Is given weight 'by treating It with
oxide of tin Small particles of the
metal are scattered through the fabric
which cut tiny holes or cause the gar-
ment to crack along a folded edge
The sore test for silk Is to burn U
bit of tfc-Ifpure scarcely a trace will
remain but a poor quality will leave
one-third to one-half Its weight In
ashes Beware of silk that has a
hard feeling or If it has a transparent
look when held to the light This
means It Is a mesh filled in and
weighted with metaL
Wool will disappear if boiled In a
solution of caustic soda If the fabric
bo mixed with cotton the latter will
remain undlsaolved This is a valu-
able test for It is hard to tell what
goes Into some articles guaranteed os
"oil wooL" Blankets offer a good field
for the Imitator sheep furnishing bnt
Uttle of the fiber In some of those
labeled "half wool” Specimens of
each have been found to contain bnt
10 per cent wooL These are made
of a mesh cotton filled In by meant
of an air blast with scraps of waste

ering but little of It will remain after
a first or second washing
Shoe soles are -made of ground
leather scrap mixed with paper pulp
and rubber Cowhide is split Into half
a dozen layers and the source of many

DRESS SUGGESTIONS
A red organdie underslip may be
worn under a pale pink dress of the
rams materiaL
A blouse of cream-dotted net la
charming when trimmed with plati-
num gray ribbon
A dress of brown silk Jersey may be
collared but not cuffed with pale rose
organdie
In the evening one may wear a hat
of white clipped beaver banded with
white grosgraln ribbon -
An afternoon dress of gray and red-
brown marquisette trimmed in red-
brown satin and erlsp white organdie
Is tightly draped and pulled around
the ankles to fulfill toe effect of taper-
ing '
' Corduroy Kimonos '
Some new kimonos shown In some
of tt shops are a strange combina-
tion of style and fabric They aro
Japanese kimonos made of corduroy
But when you come to think of It
wouldn't they be delightfully ' com-
fortable? Think of wrapping one of
them around you some cold winter
day when the necessary restrictions In
coal make the thermometer lower than
comfort calls for That Is probably
what their makers thought of And
so although kimonos of blue and rose
corduroy embroidered with silk chrys-
anthemums seem a bit of a strange
combination and contrast still they are
i delightful concession to too cold that
is coming -

The serious losses caused by bean
end pea weevils— which amounts to
millions of dollars annually— Is -largely
preventable and by putting a stop
to It a valuable ‘and much-needed
source of the nation’s food supply can
be saved No satisfactory artificial
remedies can lie applied to kill weevil
grabs In beans peas or cowpeas grow-
ing In too field but toey can bo easily

possible after maturity and the seeds

Jfumlgation heat or cold storage In
order to kill too weevils In them be-
fore they can Increase in numbers and
carry on their destructive work
Weevils not only cause serious dam-
age to peas beans and cowpeas In
storage but also la the field and are
responsible for a curtailment In the
acreage planted in these crops In
pome sections particularly the coastal
regions of too mlddlo Atlantic states
this pest has carried on Its work of
destruction so successfully That grow-
ers have become discouraged and have
discontinued to produce on a commer-
cial scale these valuable food crops
Badly Infested seeds ora worthless
for planting In one experiment on
record only 80 per cent of Infested
beans germinated and of these 80 per
cefit were so badly injured that they
could not develop into normal plants

ths bulletin urges to leave no portion
of It in too field as see 4s scattered on
toe ground or left In shattered pods
on the dried vines may carry ths pest
over winter and furnish a supply of
weevils the following summer The
crop should be harvested as soon sa
possible after reaching maturity and
toe seed thrashed or st 1 after-
wards Storing In the pod does not
confine the weevils' Immediately on
