COSTUME PICTURES
Costumes—real or makeshift—make delightful. snapshots, either humor
ons or serious. 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,

you will find plenty of material for

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. Just to itlastrate—erePO pa-

LOOK OUT FOR
YOUR LIVER
Buck It up right now
and feel liken million
Your liver is the largest organ in your body
and most important to your health. It pours out
bile to digest food, gets rid of waste, supplies
new energy, allows proper nourishment to reach
your blood. When your liver gets out of order
food decomposes in your intestines. You be.
come constipated, stomach and kidneys can't
work properly. You feel "rotten"—headachy,
backachy, dizzy, dragged out all the time.
For over 35 years thousands have won prompt
relief from these miseries—with Fruit-a-tives.
So can you now. Try Fruit-a.tives—you'll be
simply delighted how quickly you'll feel like a
new person, happy and well again. 25c, 50c.

TIPS . 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.
Leather gloves: — Opened and
sewn on flannel snake fine wiatl-
brea'kers.

Weitslines are not so well defined

Convertible 'Necklines
Look for neckin•es that are con-
vertible et, if not that, not definitely
high. 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

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,

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.
