Woven TfteL|r)T€R& > § By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX Copyright, 1913, by Star Company. ■ "Dear Friend: "Please permit us to call your atten tion to a great and serious evil now menacing our Insect eating birds. Mil lions of small birds In migration are de stroyed yearly by the people of the Southern states and used as food. This destruction now In creasing, is having serious effect on the numbers of song birds In the North. Negroes are armed with guns, and many are proficient in othur moans of de struction. In the North, also, large numbers of foreign laborers coming from Europe kill small birds for food. It Is only recently that little birds were sold In large quantities In New Tork City, and they are still sold by thousands In the South. "The Aububon societies, which have already checked the killing of native birds for millinery purposes, now pur gose to stop the slaughter of song lrds for food in this country. This is a stupendous task. It must be done by educating tho public through the schools, the press and the clergy, and by securing better laws and BETTER ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS now on the statute books. The scarcity of robins, bluebirds and bobolinks is be coming noticeable over wide areas. Will vou not help us to the best of your ability to stop tho slaughter which is now depleting our fields and woods of feathered songsters? A word of en couragement will be appreciated. Yours sincerely, "T. GILBERT PEARSON. Secretary." Their Married Life By MABEL HERBERT URNER After She Has Bought a Gown, Helen See One Tiiat She Likes Much Better Sweeping Reductions in All Afternoon and Evening Gowns. Imported Models and Exclusive De signs from Our Own Workrooms. Former Prices $85.00 to $225.00. Sale Prices $35.00 to $150.00. Rollins & Company. It was an alluring advertisement. The voluminous Sunday paper was filled with many other claiming "unprecedented values, but Helen knew that the Rollins' reduc tions were genuine. This store had the reputation of never misrepresenting their sales. The marked-down ticket on any of Rollins eoods was always the original ticket. It was never a special ticket remarked for the occasion. Helen always managed to have enough clothes left over to carry* her through the early part of the winter, that she might wait to buy her gowns at the January "clearance sales." This year she expected greater re ductions than ever before, for several times lately Warren had said, rhings are going to be mighty cheap in the shops after New Year's. It's been a pretty dull season and they 11 t-irn everything they can into money. So It was with keen anticipation of getting some really wonderful bar gains that Helen entered the suit de partment at Rollins'. „ "Something in an afternoon & o^ n > to the saleswoman who approached her. "Any special color, ma am" "Yes, something in dull blue —not navy." ~ "I'll show you what we have. She brought out an armful of gowns, but they were either navy or a hard, bright electric blue, and al most all were of satin charmeuse. Helen had long ago discovered that any shiny, satln-tlnished material was hard and unbecoming, so she always chose her gowns in soft dull silks or crepe de chine. Last year, when Warren s mother gave her a dress pattern of pale blue satin meteor for an evening gown Helen had it made up wrong side out The result was charming, for the wrong side had a soft, dull luster. She often wondered why manufac turers persisted in making shiny, satin-flnlshed fabrics, and why so many women persisted in wearing them when they were so universally trying and unbecoming. "This Is a very pretty model, the saleswoman held up another gown. "No, I don't care for satin; haven t you anything in crepe de chine?" "Must It be blue?" "I'd rather have blue unless it's a taupe or a very dull gray green." Thiß time the saleswoman returned with gowns of various shades. "Let me see this one," as Helen in stantly glimpsed the one blue gown. "Yes. that's more like it." "That's an imported model, madam.

Station V MONDAY EVENING, This Letter Should Beach Every Man and Every Woman This letter ought to reach the heart knd the brain of every man and woman of common sense and common sensi bility in our land. It ought to reach the hearts of moth ers of young sons who have arrived at an age where they want to express their manly qualities by using a gun. Air guns are only a degree less men acing in the hands of young lads than revolvers In the hands of gunmen. Every year distressing accidents are reported In the dally press from the use of these "toys" by boys. Compan ions are blinded Or crippled, and the precious lives of beautiful birds are sacrificed, while the killing instinct In growing children Is cultivated and fos tered. All because women believe themselves to be "good mothers," and consider they are eultivHtlng the manliness In their little boys by providing them with guns for amusement. Meantime, if the mother began as soon as her little boy could talk, or understand, to awaken in his heart a love and sympathy for birds and beasts, and if she then stipulated that his gun practise should consist wholly in target shooting under proper guidance and instruction, her boy would grow up skilled as a good marksman and yet humane and kindly in his instincts. Every man should know how to use a gun and revolver. There are occasions when such knowledge is important. But there Is no part of a youth's education which needs a more careful and wise preparation, and guidance, than this. Not one boy in a thousand receives this preparation and guidance. The average boy teases for a gun, and receives it as a birthday or Christmas gift; and proceeds to use It after be ing told to "be careful" by the "loving parent," who goes away and leaves him to his amusement. It's been marked down from eighty five," glancing at the ticket, "to flfty two-fifty." "Yes, that's charming," murmured Helen, for the gown was of chiffon combined with a soft brocaded silk of the same shade of dull blue. It was, however, more than Helen wanted to pay, for she had hoped to get something for about forty. "No. I don't care for fur," as the woman displayed a gown with a fur edged pannier flounce. "In want some thing that I can wear the whole year around. Oh. no—no," waving aside a castor gown with a bright plaid girdle. "I wouldn't care for that at ALL. No, I don't care for that green either. This blue is the only one I'm at all In terested in, and it's more than I wish to pay." "Oh, but it's a wonderful bargain! Wouldn't you like to try It on?" Seeing Helen hesitate, she promptly led the way to a fitting room. "It's going to be MUCH too big!" murmured Helen when a moment later the gown was thrown over her head. Helen Weakens "We can easily alter that," cheer fully. "This color just suits you." "How much would the alterations be?" "About five dollars. The fitter can tell you exactly." "That would make It fifty-seven fifty, mused Helen. "No, that's more than I ought to pay. And It's so much too large. A gown never looks right that has to be altered so much. I'm afraid, with a sigh, as she began to take off the dress, "I'll have to let it go. "Just a moment! There's a little model almost that shade I'd like vou to see—if it's not sold. It's a bit soiled from being in the window, but it's been cut to about one-third." In a few minutes the woman re turned with a triumphant: "Here it is, madam; I was afraid It had been sold." TT '*° h - that's so severe," murmured Helen disappointedly, for the gown's Plainness was unrelieved except for a Pale yellow satin collar and vest. "But the lines are perfect! It's a French model, too—here's the label! And look at the price, twenty-nine, reduced from seventy-five! it's onlv the collar that's soiled. You could easily fix that with a bit of lace. Haven t you some lace of your own that you could use?" When Helen tried the gown on she was surprised to find how well it looked The lines WERE good!

This seemed rather high, but as the gown was so cheap Helen could not protest. . jy* l ' l ® th . e ,5; lerk we "t out to the desk to get the time for the fitting Helen slipped off the gown, feeling that she was getting a real bargain. It would be a serviceable dress, too much more serviceable than the chif fon, as she could wear it practically the year round. If they should go abroad again this Spring. It would be the very thing. It was plain enough to wear even to breakfast at a hotel! . Helen's mind glowed with a Vivid picture of a breakfast room in a big London hotel. She saw herself seated at a table by a long window, with stately crimson velvet hangings and she wss wearing this gown. Curiously enough, when a woman pictures herself In a new gown, she is always wearing It at some particular place. She may never wear It at that place nor look as well In It as In those mental pictures. After It has become part of her wardrobe the pictures fade, but they are always a part of the glamor of getting a new frock. Half an hour later, as Helen was leaving the store, she met Mrs. Dalton at the veil counter. "Oh, I've lust bought the most ex quisite evening gown at McC'arty's." Unpopular Because She Forbade Boyn to Shoot Birds At one of the resorts not far from New York City, a woman made her self unpopular with her neighbors (mothers of sons of the air gun age), by telling the boys they must not aim at or shoot birds of any kind on her grounds. Her action was consid ered unneighborly and her words of advice to the boys to study bird lore and learn kindness were considered Impertinent. There Is nothing our public schools need more than to Include this edu cation which the Audubon Society of fers In the school courses. If you, dear madam, who persue these lines, want to help make this beautiful world more beautiful and less sad. if you want to aid in forming higher ideals and kinder instncts in the rising generation. In ordering or trimming your Autumn hat try and use good common sense, and a little individual taste, and wear a hat which Is becoming and beautiful and entirely devdid of any part of a dead bird. Plumes from the ostrich do not mean the destruction of that bird, for the ostrich Is a robust fowl and the plumes grow while the ostrich ex ists, Just as the goose grows new down each year. But beside plumes, there are exquisite grasses and flowers, and laces and jets, and velvets and rib bons and other trimmings which can make headgear attractive. Hellned Women Should Be Ajkarnd to Wear an Aigrette Use your good taste and ask your milliner to show some original ideas Jn building you a hat. Remember the osprey and aigrette mean the death and torture of the mother birds, and the slow starvation of their young as a rule. Any refined woman should be ashamed to be seen wearing an aigrette. Spun glass find preserved grasses and ferns produce quits as ar tistic effects. Help the Aububon Society save bird* she enthused. "Have you been there? Oh, you MUST go before they're all picked over. I've never seen such re ductions—their best models, too." "I Just got an afternoon gown here" began Helen. • "Oh, you should have gone to McCarthy's first: Rollins' are all right in some things—but I never cared for their gowns." When Mrs. Dalton passed on Helen was left with disquieting thoughts. Hoping to satisfy herself that she could not have done better, she went straight to McCarthy s. A Shook She asked for the same thing—an afternoon gown in dull blue. To her dismay, the first gown the girl brought out she liked infinitely better than the one she had bought. It required very little alteration, and there was no sTviled collar to be taken off. It was RIGHT just as it was. and it had been reduced from eighty-five to thirty-two, only seven dollars difference: she would gladly have paid ten. Feeling somewhat guilty for having take the girl's time to look at a gown she had no intention of buying, Helen thanked her and hurried away. Oh, why HADN'T she gone to McCar thy's first? The more she thought of the gown she had bought, the less she felt she would like it. And the lace— after all, it would look "put on." Helen knew that the "unity" of a gown was a subtle thing, easily marred by any changes or additions. Before she reached home she was fully convinced that the lace would always look as though it did not "be long." The cheapness of the gown no longer appealed t;o her, for there was no economy in getting a thing she would never like. Promptly she conceived a strong, deep-rooted aversion to Rollins'. She would never buy another thing there! The unreasoning injustice of this was not apparent to Helen, for Helen waa essentially feminine. An'd it is a purely feminine privilege to form such aversions without reason or cause. BOY'S RUSSiAN SUIT HAS KNICKERBOCKERS Natty Little Garments For the Youngsters in Kindergarten and School 8159 Boy's Russian Suit, 4 to 8 year*. WITH LONG OR SHORT SLEEVES, SQUARE OR SAILOR COLLAR, HIGH OR LOW SHIELD. There is always a demand for a new blouse suit for the small boy. This one shows a new closing in the front edges that meet over a strip of the material to conceal the buttons and button-holes. It includes sleeves that are just slightly full at the shoulders to allow freedom of movement and knickerbockers that are drawn up at the knees. White serge with collar and shield of white silk makes a handsome suit after this modal. Blue serge with blue silk makes a really durable one. A great many mothers use only washable fabrics, linen, galatea, chambray and the like. On the figure, blue material is trimmed with collar and cuffs of white. In the back view, white galatea is shown with collar, cuffs and belt of color. For a very dressy suit, brown ribbed silk could be used with collar of tan color and shield of white.

C for Balance—Raise on tiptoea, knees together, hands on hips, head erect. Now bend the knees as low as possible, up to tiptoes, down, up. for twenty times. Ex. D for Correct Poise—Three times a day. at least, stand with back against a door In such position that the back of the head, the shoulders, elbows, palms of the hands and heels will touch it. This is particularly for growing girls. If prac ticed during the "teens," It is doubtful if they ever lose a good shoulder position. But I should like all pupils beginning this work to try It. It may be difficult for older women to get their shoulders suffl ciently back, but practiced regularly (and this Is an exercise that can be done with the corsets on) it will Improve the poise and carriage of any woman. Wand Exercfna for Children and Grownups. These exercises, always popular with children and young girls who do them easily, should not be neglected by older women who will not find them quite as •lmple. They will make the body light, and agile. Provide yourself with a light walking stick or with a bamboo wand three to four Inches long. Ex. I—Hold this in a horizontal posi tion. with arms parallel and on a line with the shoulders and hands with palms downward. Raise the wand over the head as far back as you can towards the waist line behind. Inhaling with the backward movement and exhaling when you bring the arms forward to original position. This not only expands the chest and develops the shoulder and arm mus cles, but works away accumulation of fat between the shoulders. Ex. 2—Hold the wand In front of tha body with the palms out. the right hand about a foot higher than the left. Now, keeping the body well poised on the balls of the feet, swing the wand upwards to the right, as high as possible, and then to the left as high as possible and repeat ten times. This Is good for strengthen ing under arm muscles and will reduce excess flesh there. Ex. *— Hold the wand horizontally, palms in, with the arms falling full length at the sides. Keeping the body erect, lift the right foot, raising the knee as high and as close to the body as possible and •tep over the wand, letting only the toes touch the floor as the foot Is lowered. Repeat this, over and hack, ten times and then do the same exercise with the left foot. Leaaon XII to be continued.
