Norwalk Bird Club. as shown by the meeting last evening, is one of the best ever compiled by the club for this month, and is well worth careful reading. as it shows several of the summer birds have stayed later than usual with us this year, and also the names of several of the. lesser known birds, such at the litlark, pine siskin and: Carolina wron. A full plumaged and two immature redheaded woodpeckers are wintering in a grove near the town, which is a rare occurrence. The red and tho white winged crossbllls have appeared in this vicinity again this year, after a lapSe of seven years. Now is the time to put out suet for the winter birds, and if placed where it can be seen from the windows, one should enjoy watching woodpeckers. nub batches and chicadecs until spring. Af- ter the holidays the club expects to have. Mr. Hubert Job lecture for them, when he will bring his latest pictures taken on the Audubon preserve in Louisiana, which are said to be most beautiful.

The ve1y close attention and tho undoubt. cd lntelost Mrs. Cheney arouses is 11l- so especially to be noted. The speaker has 11 magnificently strong personality, and her outlook upon life is so whole- some, her teaching so spiritual, that she. cannot fail to do good. Her con- stant theme is that. 1111111 is master of himself, and that what we are is the key to what we attain. The uusplrlt- uul person may find such doctrine 1111- 11111011111th but it makes him stop and think. at loz.18t Mls (hcuey's practical suggestions ‘11s to the training of children are busc t'd upon the advice. to set. ouo’s own Dual 0110's children, to send to and for them the best constructive thought and to use the sub-conscious mind in their instruction.

Mrs. Cheney will have to remain until the (ruin leaves South Norwalk at 5:08, at some in- couvouioure to herself, but she feels that the people here ought not to be put. to the trouble 01‘ coming. too early in lilo afternoon.
