Try an evening of oostume snaps—you'll have some genuine camera fun. OW many costume pictures in your snapshot album—pictures of the children all dressed up for a party, or other members of the family in the costumes of a bygone era or another country? Such shots are easy to arrange --easy to take—and a source of much 'camera fun. They're easy, beoapse the costumes don't have to be elaborateor durable. For snapshot purposes, you can use all sorts of substitute materials and methods= -pins Instead :of stitching, lace paper instead of real lace, and so forth. Some of the most clever costumes can be put together in a few minutes. These makeshift costumes are, suocessfel beoauso the .camera is easily fooled, Pins In the back don't show -and substitute materials can appear hist as enteral as the real thing, if same part Of the costume Is too obviottsly "faked," you sint- PIY adjust the light so it 1e in half- shadow, nit subdues the obtrusive details, Children enjoy the taking Of cote More pictures—and so do grown- ups. Chances are, if you will rum mage around in the attic trunks, you will find plenty of material for an evening•of fun. Coats, dresses, collars, and hats that you wore eight or ten years ago—these are splen- did for the purpose. It's surprising how "dated" the styles become in only a few years—you'll find then truly comic. For foreign costumes, various materials can be pressed into ser- vice—such as an old shawl, stray pieces . of" cloth from the work- basket, crepe paper, and plenty of pins.

ON MAKING OLD CLOTHING OVER Felt Hats Into Slippers; Tux- edo Into Skirt and 'Cap Women's organizations in Canada have done wonders in making over garments for Britain's needy from the bldtrlkrelg, but there may be some suggestions in the programs of the "Bundles for Britain" groups iia the 'Gritted States. A letter to Senator Cairine Wil- son .drom the Columbus, Ohio, group describes some of the make- overs effected. Felt hats—Think ones for men's 'slippers; Mintier and blight colored for children's 'slippers,' Men's pants—One pair will make one pair of shoots for a six year•old: and one pair fora two-year-old. Tuxedo—.Pants give fine skirts for 10-yearsolds and small skull cap from part between ppekets. Some tux- edo jackets will make bolero or small jadket. (Blankets -Best parts for baby inakets; otherwise make warier linings or inherlininge for quilts. Tail'or's patches-4Make what Bri- tish -call "Camouflage Blankets." Cotton towels or underwear -- Make eight -inch double washcloths when squares are crocheted re- gether, ;Sweaters --Boone can be unravel- led and yarn washed, rewound and knitted over Into smaller garments or ,squares fur afghans, 'Outing pajamas or. gowns --Good interlinings for making children's light -weight olothing warmer Cotton braise ooats—iOtst down Into two or three dresses for' chil- dren from two to six years.

While some women prefer the :high line, more do not and as readyato-wear dresses are made • foe the masses rather than the fndf- vidual, there is a tendency to make necklines open at the throat, or else they lire found. in which case a heavy neckline contributes a bit of flattery.

Jacques funeral home in charge of arrangements, - HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED?, Have you ever wandered wiry birds' eggs are all different shapes and sizes and colors? Why some are green and others brawn, and why some are round when many are oval? Have you wondered why the eggs of the 'barn -owl are pure white( and those of the titmouse—though alga white—are spotted with very pale red at one end? The eggs of the 'cowmen gull in their large nest of 9teather, dry seaweed; grasses vary in color from yellowish white to a deep brown, often blotched over with gray and black. Why are they so different from the delicately green egge of the hedgesparrow? There is a reason for all tbds as you will see. It is quite possible, and many naturallists think it quite likely, that a long time ago all birds' eggs were white nod mostly :the same shape, but that through long, long periods of.'time'they changed in color and shape in order to conform with their surroundings, much in the same way as certain animals camoffage them- selves by acquiring fur and skin which loolm like the countryside in which they live. Varied- Markings So it happens that the eggs of the green plover are of mottled colors which tone in with the gross and 'heather among which they are Mid, where the ringed plover, who lives en the seashore, has eggs with small spats and spedkles, sandy in coloring, or ebony gray, much !Ike the surrounding rocks and sand• The kingfisher, who builds a deep nest, has shining white eggs. There is ne need to camodiage them be- cause they are so well hidden in ser home. Dggs that are laid in nests on ,the bare ground are not ea round in form as those laid in deep nests, and so do not roll about so easily. Those laid on the edges of cliffs ood exposed to gales are shaped in such a way that they merely turn round and round when the winds blow bat do not get tossed about. Their Nests Differ, Too Birds, it seems, have also learned how to adapt themselves to hot or cold climates by building certa',t types of Ironies for themselves. Tire hardier epeoies need only a hole is the ground, while the . bower birds not only build wonderful nests, but seem tobe so fond of picturesque surroundings that they plan whole gardens which they decorate , with flowers! The moorhen, on the other land, is most halleMego-lucky, As her family increases 111 number, she weaves fresh nests to aoconrwodato the new aririvals, and never seems to mind how many hones she nlay cave to make, The more we study the habits of birds, ate more =winced we be- come that no meats' what t3tt nests are like, Whether of clay, cobwahs, leathers or down; of broken pieces of shell or seaweed; wearier a hang among the leaves of trees or lie in meadonva, the , eggs inside 'are manly the right color and size, More vital Statistics "Why in the world did you ever vniite a policy on a man ninety-eight Yearn of age " asks the indignant insurance inspector, ' "Well," explained tate new agent "4 looked in the eases report Mad round that there wore only a few people of tiba,t age who die OWear;" ' * We pre-' scribe insur anee by ana- lyzing ;ohne you need — and by sell- ing you only what you need.— 1 WALTER SCOTT ' Brussels Representing Writing selected 'risks in—Automobile, Fire, Plate Glass, Burglary,.

WHY EASTER'S DATE IS CHANGED YEARLY The 'Christ!an Church Early Decided That the Easter Fes- tival Should Coincide With The Jewihh Passover, A Moveable Feast Many people wonder why the date of Easter should change year .by year, while Christmas is a fixed heti- day, The reason is tihat the Cruci- fixion 'tools place at the time of the Jewish Passover, which, due to peculiarities of the Jewish calendar, is 5movable feast. The Christian Church therefore decided that the Easter festival •should coincide with the Jewish Passover. Easter can come any day from 'March 22 to April 25, a range of five weeks. Fixed by the Moon The method of fixing Easter 45 complicated, and would take toe long to expialn here, Baster Day is the first Sunday after the full moon Which happens ei'hher upon or next after the spring equinox. 1f rhe fur moon happens on a Sunday, alter. Orwing to the imperfections of our calendar, the spring equinox for fixing Raster is, curiously, a calculated date, end not the actual spring equinox.
