They are excellent friends and devoted

. They are faithful to every' duty, but
they are forever dreaming of a more

happiness.
There is another order of women to

In spite of the existence of all these

their hungry hearts on crumbs of affec

The Bird of Wisdom

meet In the crowd
no stranger face
than that of "Mi

The owls are ;i

an atmosphere n'
mystery, and lt
lugubrious cries In

It. everywhere, and ,
In all times, the reputation of a bird of
111 omen. As such It has played Its part
in- almost every literature. Among the
evil auguries that Bhakespeare assembled
around the murder-night In "Macbeth'
were the cries of the owl;
" ; the obscure bird
Clamour'd the livelong night "
The countenance of the owl, 'especially
of the species called the barn owl. seei
by moonlight, or accidental Illumination
In the night. Is as startling an object a
could well be Imagined. Triangular, like
that of some monkeys, with black, sur
Ing eyes surrounded by broad, whitish
disks bordered with dull red. It Is caleu-
lated to unsettle the steadiest nerves.
There Is one peculiar clrcumstanc
which adds immensely to the unnerving
effect of an owl's face encountered in
some obscure and lonely place. This Is
the fixedness of the great eyes In thdl!
sockets, whloh compels the bird to turn
Its head In a most uncanny fashion
every time It alters the direction of It
gase. The motion Is so quick and menac
ing that It makes the nerves of an ex
citable person Jump every time It Is Pr.
formed. If he changes his location th
face Instantly follows his movement. '
The bird can rotate Ha neck so as to
look squarely over Its shoulder, or even
behind It, without the slightest change
In attitude. Thla no doubt gives It an
advantage in capturing Its prev. or
watching Ha enemies, without betrsylng
Its location by a general movement, of the
body. Owls have, also, very" peculiar
ears, resembling. In some respects, those
of mammals, although they are concealed
by feather.
They are carnivorous animals, never, i
believe, eating vegetable food.
They approach a victim, says Prof. J. F.
Moore, "on noiseless wing, and usually.,
grasp It with one foot, after which it t

Piece," Only a very few species of owlc
hunt or stir abroad by day, and, although
they Inhabit every part of the world
they are among the rarest of animals to
be seen by the ordinary observer.
The Voice of the owl Is as celebrated
and peculiar as Its countenance. The
sound that it makes Is usually . called a'i
hoot. But the greatest observer of blrdf,
who ever ' lived, Her. Gilbert White,
found a variety In the cries of owls, and
declared that their voices have a fln
vocal sound which Is reducible by a pilch
n'pe to a musical key. Ha . speaks of
two owls hooting to each other, the on
In A flat end the other In B flat: and
of some owls which hooted In Q flat and

By ANN LISLE.
There was once a Widow who had three
j daughter. The mother doe. not count In
thls story, so having politely mentioned
her first of all. fe may dismiss her and
consider the daughters.
At the moment when our attention Is
directed to them first, Ella, the eldest.
Is H and looks It, quite in disaccord with
a modern woman's way of managing her
years, so that at least five of them shall
not be in evidence. The twins, Molly and
Polly, are 20. look sixteen, and have the
worldly wisdom of a very worldly 80. .
The family Income couldn't by any ef
fort be stretched to buy three girls pretty
clothes and take them into society. Bo
Molly and Polly worked -otit their con
clusion so wisely that . the widow was
all enthusiasm, and poor Ella acquiesced
perforce. The Idea was this:
Ella, who ocuddn't conceivably be a
social lucceas, since she had neither face
and figure, nor manner and charm to
compass It, should prepare herself for a
secretarial position and go down Into the
business world where she should surety
make .money and might also make a hit
with some men who liked the Idea of a
wife with ability better than ability to
love his wife. . ' ,
Clause two of the plan said that Molly
and Polly, .with the concentrated family
Income and whatever largesa Ella chose
to distribute, should go about hunting
for Prince Charming..
Said Molly: "Of course, if we marry
well we'll take care of you, Cinderella,
and if we don't you'll be able to take
care of yourself.".
"And us. too, maybe," giggled Polly.
At the end of the year Ella was earn
ing $25 a week, and Moliy had married
herself off to a youth whose father had
left him fcS.uoo a jtear. At the end of two
years Ella had an Increase of 1 10 a week
In her salary, Molly had twins and Polly
had a husband. Bo everybody was more
or leas happy. . .
By the time Ella was f she commanded
a .alary of K.ObO a year and the respect
all anas) who anew hex. aUi. was
"Aunt Ella" to Molly's twins and to
Polly's son and heir. And every time she
cuddled the babies In her empty . arms
she knew that she was Cinderella indeed,
but a woman withal, and so capable of
all a woman's yearnings.
When Ella was 3C she was earning $10.
OOua year and that salary . proved her
fairy godmother. It bought her wonder
ful clothes that actually made It appear
as If she had a good figure. - It bought
her the services of a beauty specla.lst
that made brightened eyes and fluffy
kalr . and a clear complexion gave her
face the semblance of charm, too.
Ella was free from worry and from
iucUjestion and bad red lips and a Joyous
heart and .'.a reputation ior efficiency
that made men regard her aa a very re
apectabie money-coining machine and so
even as a possible wife. But Cinderella
wanted the Right Prince to fit on her
foot the little . glass slipper of absolute
devotion.
Just then Molly's - husband - lost his
money and Polly's husband lost his life.
Ella promptly took everybody concerned
to live with her and set about supporting
a large and heterogeneous family that
did not exactly belong to her. Bhe set
tled down In her own mind to being
"Aunt Ella" for life.
And then one night while Molly and the
widow were ' off dancing with Mjlly'e
.otherwise unemployed husband, Polly's
youngest had convulsions. "Aunt El a"
telephoned madly around the neighbor
hood for a doctor aid finally one came
and liked her frightened eyes and her
trembling Up and wonderful blue neg
ligee that was. left over from the days
when she hadn't been supporting two or
three families.
And Ella liked everything about Dr.
Johnstone from his keen gray eyes to his
confidence-inspiring manner.
Between them the girl and the doctor
saved the baby.
"Now that the kiddle Is quite safe,
woulj you mind looking at my ankle I
think I sprained it when I ' first began
trying to do things for my little inva
lid." said Ella at last.
The doctor looked at the ankle and
whi.e he was thinking how white and
blue-veined it was and how much sheer
grit the glii had shown In standing her
pain until tho baby was safe, she was
thinking how muih she would like to
run her fingers through the waves of hU
yeilow hair!
At the end of three months Molly's
husband had a Job and Polly had suc
ceeded In her Job of finding a husband)
As for Dr. Johnstone well his bandage
had fitted Ella's little white foot as
snugly a. ths glass slipper that Prince
Charming had put 'on Cinderella's foot
of old. And they had both discovered
how well her head fitted Into the hollow
of his shoulder-and how perfectly their
natures and Ideals fitted them to an
nounce to the family what It was begin
ning to suspect.
MORALr-Prtnce Charming doea not al
ways arrive on schedule time or drive
up In a coach and six and Fairy God
mothers wear strange guises, sick babies
or sprained ankles or other odd raiment
but the modern Cinderella would do
w:l to have pretty white feet and dainty
negligees becsuse you never can tell
when Prince Charming Is coming!
