THE JUNI R CLASSIC The Everglades For miles as far as eye can see is a very large flat plain, of soft, brown, waist-high saw grass. As the wind blows through the tasseled grass heads a curious minor plaintive wail or murmur is heard like the lapping of calm waters on the beach. Over the drab acres a few solitary vultures are circling lazily around, for all the world like a tired bargain-seeker on Saturday night. Across the sluggish drainage canal, a few very deliberate water moccasins are wriggling their way like black moving snags. Here and there maybe you are able to see the still back of an alligator, or pawpatte, as the Indians called it, almost hidden by the overhanging bushes on the banks. Above the narrow white coral roadway the heat waves are rising. The sky is an intense blue, not a cloud may be seen, the sun is flooding the plain with radiance, everything is in browns and blues. All is quiet and motionless. Nature seems asleep. There is no life in the scene for there is not a home for hundreds of miles. The Everglades region seems to be holding its breath suppressing all motion until man shall awake to her great resources. -PAULINE FARLEY. A Miniature Home just the spot for an ideal home. The grass was of a thick hne texture. workers, each placing his place where it was most forming the entrance was denly they formed a group, ceased their toil. It must There were countless building block in the needed. An archway soon completed. Sud- the first time they had have been meal time. Yes, so it was. One of the number left the group and soon came back tugging behind him the food which he had procured. Wfith the aid of several of his fellow workers it was dragged into the future dining hall. Soon none of the greedy laborers were to be seen. It was growing dtiskg the golden sun had just settled clown to sleep in the faraway hills. It was the time of day when birds were singing their sweet bedtime melodies. I could see no longer the construction. I wandered away, still thinking of the co-opera- tive ants, the building of their home and how much the world would progress if everyone were as industrious as these miniature architects. -lVl.-XRGARET SMALL First Dumbell: Did you ever hear the story of a 'pair of tights'?

Mamma, she said softly, Henry is just per- fectly wonderful. 'iYes, Muriel, replied her mother. Yes, he isl Why you and Papa have known me-known me all my life and never noticed it! Never noticed what, dear? Why, Henry kept looking into my eyes last evening and every time he looked into them he whispered to me that each one was just a little bit bluer than the other.
