r ifr ^FW O PORT JERVIS, N . Y. THE EVEinNO GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 192J HOWTOAHRAGT BIRDS TO HOME Feathered Friends Drawn by Proper Shelter and Food. UCniDK GF BIHD HOUSES \ Birds appeal strongly to the inter- ests and affections of mankind. Not only do they charm by tlieir graceful forms, harmonious colors, sprightly ac tions and usually pleasing notes, but they 'have an even more important claim upon our esteem because of their great economic value. Birds feed upon practically all insect pests. They are Toraelous, able to move freely from j|[dace to place, and exert a steady in- ' finenee in keeping down the swelling '■tMe of insect life. **The means of increasing the num ber of birds about the home are few and simple,” says W. L. McAtee in a bulletin of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture on how to attract them. ‘‘They comprise adequate pro tection and the provision of suitable nesting places, food and water. It is planned in a series of publications to recommend practicable methods of at tracting. birds about homes in the vari ous parts of the United States. Pro- etction is the prime reqxilsite for in creasing the number of birUs In any ure&f and the results of protection are In direct proportion to its thor oughness. \Although a considerable number of our native birds build their nests on the ground, the majority place them in trees or shrubs, either in holes or on the limbs or in the crotches. Shrubbery and trees for nesting sites, therefore, are essential for making a place attractive to birds, and a- double purpose Is served if the kinds planted are chosen from the list of fruit-bear ing species given further on. Shrubs should be allowed to form thickets and should be pruned back severely when young, so as to produce numer ous crotches. Natural Bird Houses Going. “Constant removal of old trees and modern tree-surgery have resulted in a gi'eat diminution in the number of tree cavities, the natural homes of most of our hole-nesting birds. For tunately, most of tiiese birds will util ize artificial nest cavities, or bird houses. “As a rule, birds do not like to be crow'ded, and if a place is studded with bird houses only a few of them will be occupied. Birds not only do not want bird neighbors too near, but are* impatient of human meddling and • therefore should be granted as much privacy as po.ssib 1 e during the actual incubating and brooding. “Nothing has a more potent attrac tion for birds during hot weather than drinking and batiiing places. Tbe birds’ water supply should be a pool not more than a few inches deep, the bottom sloping gradually upward to ward the edge. Both bottom and should be rough, so a? to afford ' - 4 safe footing. A giant pottery saucer is an excellent device, or the pool may be made of concrete, or even metal, if the surface be rough ened. Tlie bird bath may be elevated or on the ground If in an open space where skulking enemies cannot ap proach too near. A water supply is appreciated in winter as well as in summer. If running water cannot be provided, that supplied should be warmed to delay freezing. Supplying Plenty of Food. “Food supply is a vital factor in I)ird life and the most important single offering that can be made in efforts to attract birds. It is impor tant to note that an ample supply of food prior to and during the nesting season tends to Increase the number of eggs laid and also the number of broods in a season. Bird food may be supplied in two ways—by planting trees, shrubs and herbs which produce seeds or fruits relished by birds, and by exposing food in artificial devices. The most familiar phase of the latter method is winter feeding. “During the season when the nat ural food supply is at its lowest ebb, birds respond most readily to our hospitality. Winter feeding has be come very popular, and the result has been to bring about better understand ing between birds and humankind. The winter foods commonly used in clude suet or other fat, pork rinds, bones with shreds of meat, meal worms; out-up apples, birdseed, buck- worms, crackers, crumbs, coconut meat, cracked com, broken dog bis cuits or other bread, hemp seed, mil let, nut meats of all kinds (especially peanuts), whole or rolled oats, pep- ^pers, popcorn, pumpkin or squash seeds, ray or boiled rice, sunflower «eeds and wheat.” VEILS MASK SHY EYES fashion Leaders Discuss Return of Face Covering. Veils, w^hieh came back some time »gO as a sort of softening decoration around the edge of women’s hats and lately began to stream slightly in the -breeze to the rear, as they did many years ago, now are creeping down a few inches below the front edge of bats so as to mask shy eyes. Some of the Paris fashion leaders suggest that veils soon may be worn tP cover the face entirely, as was the tmstom a generation hack, when a well-dressed woman would as soon thought of going in the street ' a* barefaced STUNNING FOR SPRING WEAR Thia 18 an attractive epring wrap of rose taupe marvella, trimmed In tiers of taffeta roses and lined vrith rose Canton crepe. Heavy trIcotine fringei the bottom, and a jeweled buckle finishes it off. DAINTY TOGS FOR THE BABY Smart Bonnets of Orflandfo—Wee Socks Are Clocked>~Brother and Sister Should Match. The baby’s smartest bonnet will be made of organdie in the favorite high puffed-crown style, with row upon row of plaited ruffles framing a rose bud face. It Tvill probably be in a combination of white and a delicate color, perhaps with the ruching deli cately embroidered. Earlier in the season the bonnet w-ill be made W crepe de chine in the same becoming style. Even the baby’s wee socks are clocked, with the finest embroidery stitches and tiny rosebuds. These same tiny rosebuds and other delicate designs add an exquisite touch of color to little caps and bonnets of lawn and organdie. The designers of babyhood fashions are showing a decided preference for dotted Swiss for spring and summer. These frocks are mostly very simple with a tiny bit of lace at the neck; oc casionally they are more elaborate, with lace insertion and ruffles. “Brother and sister should match,” \ say some fashion designers, and carry out the idea by making little suits and dresses to match In material and style. One such outfit Is a solid color gingham with the trimming hand hemstitched, collar and cuffs and a graduated ruffle, which starts at one side of the neck running to the high waistline indicated in the little boys' suits by the attachment of the trousers. Ball buttons of Irish crochet fasten the frock which has an opening under the ruffle. What should little frocks be made of? Well, there are printed silks and cottons and plain silks, and pongee in natural color and high shades, un bleached muslin, gingham in solid color and checks and some voiles. Then there are always linens. U p p e r r i o o f t i U u r i g « { O U S . One New York physician -says that business men who occupy offices on the upper floors of the great sky scrapers are flighty after a few years and, unless making a change, becom# mildly insane. Noticed the Change. Henry’s sister had but little hair at first, but later it grew mifch longer.

The technical difference between tlie apron and the dress Is that the former is a sllp-on and does not have set-in sleeves. The dresses are pretty and gay. One in checked Imported gingham has white transparent organdie In a V in the front. In the belt and edging the sleeves. A little flower in color Is set on. Pink and green are the colors that go well. Plain chambray is combined with checked gingham, and a pale green chambray has set-ins of orange flow ered cretonne. The apron dress also comes in black satlne with rick-rack braid In contrasting colors fini^lng neck and sleeves. FRUIT YEAR FOR MILLINERY Oranget With Sprays and BlosiomA Cherries, Grapes and Peaches to Grace Milady’s Head. This Is to be another fimlt year in millinery. Bright yellow oranges, half as large as life, come with a spray of orange blossoms and leaves and show to advantage on a pale green felt hat with gauze rim. A pretty rosette-like cluster of white cherry blossom's repeats the colors, having a bunch of yellow cherries in the center. There are all shades of red cherries, luscious in size and color, and berries of different kinds and seed pods. Fruits of many kinds.
