A home is where love dwells. and where

In making it each has a share. -'01:: Mother Nature. Hooty and Mrs. Booty are the biggest. members of the Owl tam- iiy. They are the Great. Horned

cause they haven't any norm. or course not. No Owls have horns. They have been given that name just because they have a bunch of teathers standing up on each side or the head. But tor that matter. so does their little cousin Spooky the Screech Owl. And between Hooty and Spooky is another cousin called the Long- eared Owl. That is just as loolish a name as Hootyis, for this cousin of his hasn't long ears at all. No bird has long ears. Again it is just a little tuft of feathers on the sides or the head that has given him that name.

it warcold weather for it was still February and winter was no- where near over. It seemed a queer time or year tor anyone to be hunt- ing for a home. But that is what Hooty and Mrs. Hooty were doing.

"You're fussy. my dear. altogether too fussy." said Hooty.

They didn't want to build a home unless they should be torced to They wanted to find the empty home of someone else, one that they could (ix up without too much work. Because they are such big folks they would need a big home.

One home they had used ior two or three years had been blown down in a great stmm in the tall. It had once been a nest of Riedtail the Hawk, Now Hooty and Mrs. 1-iooty were looking for another nest of Redtaiis or one of some other member of the Hawk (am- iiy. They had looked aixa nest of Blacky the Crow. They had even looked at the summer nest oi Hap- py Jack Squirrel. They had Io-and nothing that suited Mrs, Hmty. Booty would have been perfectly satisfied with any one of those nests they had ic-und. But Mrs. I-Iaoty wasnlt. she didn't like the tree one was in. Another was in too bad repair. She didn't like the part of the Green Forest the third was in. still another was too small.

"You're iusey my dear. altogeth- er too fussy." said Hooty. "You'll never be satisfied."

"F11 be better satisfied than I am with any we have looked at so far. or we wont have in nest." dc- clared Mrs. Hooty.

So Mrs. Hooty kept on hunting and Hooty tagged along. He was ready to agree quickly if Mn. Hooty should iind one at all to her liking. of course all the people in the Green Forest knew what the 1-iootys were doing.

"The idea or home huntinq at this time of year!” exclaimed Sam- my Jay. "Mistress Spring won't be here for a long time. No one else is thinking of nesting yet.'

"Your mistake. Cousin. Sammy. your mistake." said Whisky Jack the Canada Jay. who had come down lrom Canadnpto spend the winner.

"what in my mistake?" demand-

monds. confidently laid down the ten-but he was soon to regret this play! South ruffed and cashed his last trump. discarding a heart from dummy. That was Easifs downfall! Having to keep the dis- mond nine over dummyis eight, he was forced to give" up a heart, and soui.h'thereuvpon ran the ace, king and eight of hearts,

It is hard to blame East too much for this outcome. but ob- serve that he had really been a partner to the squeeze play. It he had led a heart instead or the diamond ten. soyth would have been helpless.
