A Large Snow-White
Australian Bird
is an unwilling: passenger on our little boat.
She came on board at Jacksonville in
December, from a dark, dingy bird shop of
an old friend, who, seeing her bite and twist
the thick wires of her cage, evidently fearing
she might escape and fly away, took the
precaution of clipping one of her long, pretty
wings, so that she could not fly with her one
wing.
Today the doctor on board took pretty
Polly out of her cage and let her walk
around, and, but for that clipped wing, she
would have flown off upon the waters and
perished before she could have reached the
shores of the gulf.
Some of us have drawbacks, like clipped
wings. Let us be thankful to be hindered
from flying off to what might be destruction.

No Question About Blouses
Being Popular for Spring
We've never known so
many women to want new
blouses as there are these
early Spring days. The
sports suit is partially re
sponsible and another reason
is the prettiness of the
blouses themselves.
There are sports blouses
in cotton and wash silk with
collars and cuffs especially
(Third rioor,
made to fit snugly over the
coat. There are good styles
for sweaters, the most de
lightful new fashions in silk
overblou8es and dainty Geor
gettes trimmed with laces.
Prices start at $2.50 for an
attractive tailored cotton
waist and go up to $65 'for
one of real lace.

When a Woman Is Built

and boned, und especially are the models for large women note
worthy in these respects. Some of these have graduated front
steels; they aro topless or else they have low or medium busts,
and as a rulo they have elastic insertions wherever they aio
most needed.
