Have a Parrot for Fashion's Oaks—
On Your Clothes. -

VERY season fashion clam-
E some bird as her special mas-

cot. Ono season the MI; owl
perched itself on women's hats—or
rather two bead eyes were set in a
fluff of soft feathers to resemble the
head of this bird of wisdom. The
pheasant is occasionally favorite. and
at times the cook or chanticieor has
enjoyed a vogue among smart
'w‘omen that quite belies his humble.
barnyard origin.

And now comes the parrot. And
the most interesting thing about this
fad is that the parrot need not be
made of feathers. In fact, he seems
to be looked upon with greater favor
by fashionable women when he is
made of some such stuff of trifling
worth as white cord. ‘

Really charming parrots may be
made of peanuts and bits of bright-
colored tissue paper, you know. You
slash up the green and red paper
to imitate the parrot's tail feathers
and paste this on the stem end of
the peanut. The other end bears
the semblance to the parrot's head
with his heavy bill. A little paint
marks eyes and gives color to what
is not covered with tissue paper. To
be sure these little peanut parrots
are not used, on hats. But they do
make charming decorations and
table favors when placed on little
swings of cord and wire.

The sketch shows a navy blue
milan hat with upturned brim edged
with white cord. The parrot is like-
wise made of white cordflacking
any suggestion of the parrot’s bril-
liant plumage. But the parrot coi-
orings are in good repute. One of
the milliners has gone in for love
birds—all in the parrot family as far
as fashions go—and has made
charming hats. each one of ’which
combines some of the soft brigh
colors found in the plumage of these
little birds that die of grief when
they are separated from their males

A certain well-known French ao-
trees. by the way, has adopted the
parrot and carries one on her arm
or hand when she goes out for walks
—-much as a falconer of old carried
his falcon.

pay a good price for a hat like black
hats. But when black or navy blue
or brown hats are in fashion then
fewer hats are sold. 0n the other
hand. if hats of bright or light col-
ors, white hats. beige hats or gray
hats, are chosen as a matter of fash-
ion. then more hats are sold. because
they are far less durable than are
those of darker colors. The flower-
trimmed. bright or light hat is espo-
cially favorable to a brisk mlllinery
business. Because. crisp and virile

Clara had oftsnputit to herself
what she should do if Henry begged
her to take him back. Her pride
would never permit it. No. every-
thing was at an end.

But little Jim couldn't understand
He was always crying for the father

Still. it was all very embarrassing,

for his father. He would wake up
with a start in the middle of the
night and cry for him. That was
the hardest thing to bear—the boy's
thinking (that his father had come
home.

And then there came a wonderful
day for Jim. It was on his way
home from school, and there, stand-
ing outside the candy shop. was his
father! He could hardly believe
that he was real. until he had run
to him and hugged him. Then he
knew that he was real.

her you'll never see me again."

And little Jim. wondering very
much. had given his promise.

It was so hard to keep. But two
or three times a. week he found his
father outside the candy shop. Then
there came a day when Henry

Inside the house the child. stricken
with diphtheria. raved and toned on
his cot. ' .

"He keeps crying for his father."
said the nurse.

The mother felt a hunt rise In
her throat. That memory persisted
through everything.

"No possibility of getting the fa—

all about the domestic tragedy.

"No one knows where he is.“

"He's standing in front of the
candy shop—in front of the candy
shop on the way to school. WW a
bag of candy in his hand. Don't you
see him. mummy?"

“ "Something must be done.- said

Distracted. Clara fled from the
room. There was only the slightest
chance that there was anything in
the child's story. But she ran into
the darkening street. and to the
candy shop.

And Henry was standing there

"He's calling for you. You must

Henry silently accompanied his
wife back to the house. The child
was tossing on his bed and crying.

"Hero I am. Jim," said Henry
kneeling down at the bedside.

And the child knew his father's
voice. and stretched out his little
hands and smiled.

After that came the long days of
convalescenco. Little Jim was very
glad.

"The doctor says you‘ve saved his
life. Henry." said Clara.

“And now"—he gulped—"I'll have
to be going. I suppose. I know you
won't have me here, although I wish
it were possible for me to stay and
try to atone for the past—"

"But Jim wants you. Henry.” an-

PARADOXICAL as it may seem

 

to the light—minded. or to those

trifling. helter-skelter persons
who habitually lament because of
lack of time. the busy man on-
grossed in large affairs seldom hints
at the swift passage of crowded
hours. .

The reason is. that he makes every
minute count by moving in a direo
lina He never wastes a moment
He takes up his work unhesitatingiy
and refuses to let go of it until he
has mastered every detail and fully
familiarized himself with its mani
fold intricacies.

In other words. he does his task
thoroughly. and having finished it
he is prepared to take up another

menting thoughts or mischievous

is clear-eyed. centres. and in a mood
to meet his loved ones and enter
pleasantly with them in conserva-
tion. His cares have been left be-
hind. and he is buoyant and light-
hearted as a school boy on the first
day of his summer vacation.

He is not a man that thinks it
will go hard with him if his nose is
not kept forever against the grind-
stone. He may at times. in com-non
with other mortals. be hot-headed
and foolhsrdy. but in the main he
manages very well to be fortunate
and happy—two delightful sensa-
tions which come naturally from the
conservation of time.

He is a. man that moves with the
flood tide. steers a straight course
and pulls a steady stroke. whether
at work or at play—tho kind of man
that is destined to arrive at his Vla-
ioned port with flying colors.

Life,a.nd all that is dear to it. would
fall to a frightfully low ebb if this
sort of man were. by some stroke of
fate. removed from its over chang-
ing stage of action. It is his kind
that keeps fickle humanity on its
feet and contributes most to the
leftiest achievement and greatest
happiness of the world at large.

THE LITTLE SHAVER.

The roses by the garden gate
Like ruddy lamps are burning,
But roses are not all that wait
At night for my returning.
Beyond I see an open door.
A welcome shining through it.
And. growing dearer evermoro.
A pathway leading to it.

A pathway leading to a place
Whose love will never waver—
And down that path with merry

' face - ‘
Now comes the little shaver.

But sometimes babies loam alas.
That joy is but a bubble;
O'or little meadows shadows pass.
O'or little hearts a trouble.
Yes. sometimes when the babe ap-
pears
He brings a broken dolly.
Bis cheeks still wet with childhood
tears.
His heart still melancb .
And. oh. the 107 to take '
Bis little voice a—quavor.
And make the world look bright

then.

again
To just a little shaver.
I have my daily load of cars.

The labor and tho bother; s
This makes it worth the while to
bear

The burdens of a father:

To meet his love with open arms
When down the path he burrioa
And shield him from a life's alarms.

Its sorrows and its worries.
And I shall better toil. I know.
Live life a little braver,
Because each night I‘m neodbd so
By Just a little shaver.
