mm. MISS DIX: I'm married

D solile friends invited me to a party and, since all the people there were om mam-.ls, I went. However. we had some crashers. who were not very n.ce people. They made a lot of noise drank to excess, and brought com- raints from the neighbors. I'm afraid if I tell my husband about the he won'.t understand, yet I would hate to have him hear of it from

pl pzlrty someone else-

ANSWER: Your part in the proceedings was entirely innocent. so there's no reason why you shouldn't tell your husband. It will be much better for the story to come from you than from an outsider.

Miss Nissen cannot reply personally to readers but will answer problems of interest through this column.

Birds of many species come to this garden and the little wood at the top of the garden, and even through the winter months there is life and color provided by them. The downy Woodpecker with the bright scarlet bar is busy these days rapping on the hollow tree trunks. The downy is the smallest of seven species of woodpecker found here and he is one of the most useful to the gardener. Their hills are chisel pointed and of great. strength. their feet are eminently adapted for grasping and climbing. and their rigid tail fathers are pointed to form a fulcrum for their bodies while they stand erect at their work of chipping into the firm wood.

Like those of all Woodpeckers. their eggs are pure white. They are six in number, placed in a

and

nesthole excavated in the solid timber of lofty trees. Nearly seven inches in length,

the downy is the smallest of the Woodpecker tribe. and can be easily recognized by the black and white bars on his back. In addition, the e is known by s nape bar of brght scarlet. It is in pretty sight on any day of the year‘.

Birds are our most conspicuous and most readily observed form of wildlife. Everyone is aware of them in the spring when their bright colors, .iively movements, and cho of song render them ineecapsbl . but some birds are llresent at all seasons.

establish a closer bond with na- ture. It will give you an under- standing of that feeling of kinship with the denizens of the wild, so characteristic of primitive peo- pies, and you will gain an aware- ness of the order in the world of living things and a perspective on human problems and concern that are beyond price.

It is no accident that so many of our great men have been stu- dents cf wild birds. Few forms of outdoor recreation have so much to offer, and the search for ‘species that are new to you can -become an absorbing pastime. Learning to recognize by sight and sound the birds in your im- mediate vicinity will give you many pleasant hours out-of-doors.

"It is sweet on awaking in the early morn to listen to the small bird singing on the tree. No sound of voice or flute is like to the bird's song; there is something in it distinct and separate from all other notes .. The bird upon the tree utters the meanihzz of the wind — a voice of the grass and wild flower, words of the green left; they speak through that slcndr-r tone."

Every season has its quota of interesting events happening on the farm, hence a farming district is always an interesting one in which to live. spring perhaps tops all others in this regard for it is in this season, mostly, that the animals give birth to their young. The lambs, the calves and the pigs arrive and each brings added interest. Here at Savage Harbour it was interesting to hear the daily reports of the lamb arrivals as the children burstings with tidings of their own or neighbouring farms,. were delighted to tell their tales‘ to those who would give ear. John} Plgott is would appear has won? the lamb contest as 38 froilicking youngsters do a "lamb ballet." on his roaming acres. But interest had not begun to wane on the lambs when the calf crop started and soon it will be the little pigs that step out to take their seam in nature's orchestra, lending their baritone grunts to give depth and volume to the spring chorus. Yes. there are many interesting hap- penings on the farms those days. If you don't think so talk it over with the kiddies sometime. They will wet your curiosity and bringl to you an awareness of the things you are missing.
