On tho wide, comfortable porch within thirty feet of where ho sat were two women. One was busily knitting and was Intent upon her work. Tho other was lying on her porch-swing doing ' nothing, just Jly swinging. In front of her stood a table whero she wrote when able. -There was no machine on It today.

Once from the protection ot the tree and jlhc knitter limed him nnd ho had was sitting on tho wlro that carried I ' the electricity into tho house. The ' knitter, who had had qullo an ex- j perlence w ith birds and knew their ! habits, spied Bobbie with his dole ful expression and Immediately i knew he was hungry. Carefully she roso from her chair and laid a tiny grape on the porch-rail. Bobbie saw. Ho knew It .-.. r..

As If she had read his thoughts she pushed the grape nearer tho end of the porch-rall and closer to him. After much consideration and overcome with longing for tho Juicy morsel. Hobble made a qtiiek dive, seised the grape and swallowed it whole and flew back to his retreat In tho tree. After recovering from his great adventure, he peered out to see If there might possibly be more. Imagine hi, delight, for yes, inere Mas not only one but three! One though he knew .he couldn't swal low whole. It was tuo large. What should he do? Now Bobble wasn't easily discouraged, and how good that other one had tasted! Yes, he would try It again. After much deliberation, he sallied forth for another try. Very cautiously he approached, turning his wise little ? on the knitter.

With one mighty push, he rolled tho grape from the rail and followed It to the ground, where there was plenty of room and he could eat it at his leisure. Which he did! A few days later, he came back with some of his friends. But they were not half so brave ns their captain and soun left him to enjoy his fruit alone.

Princes have had their day and are passe now. The light filtering thru and the almost con stant movement of the fl'lngo havo made It very unpopular.. Query. Are fire-places ever built without mantels? Mrs. D. M. V. Answer. Yes. many of thorn are. The cobblestone ones in cab ins and Informal homes aro very decorative and do not reqquiro a mantel at all. Query. How high should fire side benches be? Mis. r. JJ. Answer. Most of them aro about fifteen Inches hlRh while somo aro almost as high as a chair, which is eighteen inches. Query. Are. slip covers good for reed or giass chairs? Mrs. F. P. . Answer. No. because the un evenness of the surface of tho chair is too much uf a strain on the slip cover . material and the cover will wear out quickly. If it seems necessary, however, pad tho back, arms and all other edges well with cotton bofore fitting tho cover on. Query. Aro quilted pillows still In good form? Mrs. S. T. Answer. Yes, they aro very smart, but like our grandmother's work they must be well done. sung for eight minutes scarcely taking time 19 breathe. . ' He became ' ooldcr ' and .bolder and would hide undijr tho. swing, and when tho knitter wouliT whis tle for him, ojipecting him to como flying from tho tree or bush, ho would como hupping out to her. tilting his little head as though enjoying tho joke. Slowly and carufully, the knitter began going closer and closer to him until finally sho would rest her hand that held the box. from which sho fed him on the rail. And sho would say to him: "Come Bobble and cat out of my hand." To get a mocking-bird to do that Is quite a tusk. Many a sharp scrutiny he gave her with his wise little eyes, but closer and closer he enme until his llttlo toes touched her fingers as he picked his meal from her out-stretched hand. Now, sho says, somo day he will sit on her hip and cat out ot hor hand. And I know he will If sho says he must! It would not surprise me to see her walking around with i htm sitting on her shoulder. I lie Is growing already to be a j very human llttlo bird. What he wants ho wants and right away! I If she Is not in sight when he ! comes, ho calls her In a sharp commanding voice. And oh, how 1 his appetlto Is growing! There Is j nothing dainty about it! So when I your friends tell you that you have an appetite like a bird, think ot Bobbio and what he can eat at, one j time. He ate for dis dinner one dny, threo raisins, a nice fat worm which- he awallowcd whole, then 1 after flying to a dripping hydrant land drinking a long drink, he j came back and ato eight more rnislns! Then he flew away for a j while and came back for more! 1 And now, the expected has hap ' pened. He has walked across tho ! knitter's fingers and eaten from 'the nalm of her hand! I We are hoping he will build I near us. Wo will be glad to help hint feed hia family and wo will enjoy his beautiful music. Jennie M. Chicken. Fads & Fashions Minrt Furs Used .

This dfep planting ulsu will nvold uny danger fro mvngrant fronts as the plant will nut be lehovc ground for fiomc days after planting.

On Thinning Peony Buds 1 A garden authority gives It as hla opinion und a very good opin ion it Is that this Is tho time of the month for tho disbudding of peonies. If ono pinches away tho Hiuall secondary buds, leaving only tho central bud to bloHHom, It fol lows that the favored flower will bo larger and more sightly than any of the four flowers would have been, et us say. Such peony blooms, thla newspaper will agree, are for thoe who desire them. And yet and yet there Is something to be said for the plant that has not despoiled of Its flower chil dren. Not ull peonies are bred for show purposes, let us bo thankful, and something besides bigness of blossom Is sometimes desirable. -We aspire too freqquently to tho superlative In flower culture, to dimcnfdonal superiority more often than otherwise. Vet many of tho dearest wards of the gardener aro minor by nature, and thrice lovely because It Is necessary to pay the tribute of the bended knee if the beauty of the blossom would be obacrved. As we say, a peony that provides unusually large bloasoms, owing to tho thinning process. Is beautiful In all truth but that it can be more beaut jful than one which has retained alt Its bloom, and has hidden Its verdure In a burst of rich color, we arc not pro prepared to grant. Form, color, loveliness, all are .there fn any .event, and the wisdom of nature stands not reproached. Hho was the first gardener, and taking It by and large we are bound to concede that sho has done fulily well with her gardening. A full bloom peony blossom Is huge enough In any case, The peony is nut a plant to scrimp Its blooms. They are ample and gen erous. Ami to those who hnve the least reluctant? to thin their peony buds that tho stalk shall bear but one bloom, wo would say that It is permissible, and ethical, and not bad form tu refrain. They may do as they please, since It Is not a) pies they are growing, nor pro ducp for any market but a flower desired and beloved for Its pro fusion and prodlgullty of blossom. Brides, These Recipes for Two Will j Help Out in Your Cooking Troubles Kathryn.St. John The young bride of today, even though she cannot rook, has an advantage over her grand mother, for the delicatessen store Is always kronvcnlent In an emergency and the range of canned goods at her disposal Is very large.

They are somewhat handicapped In this because the cook books available to thoni) as a rule, give recipes for four or six and rarely for but .two.
