i 4 NETRA tats As un A EAE ad ROL Ty Se, LE Ee f The Art of Punting Now to. the boathouses! Punts, variety of flat-bottomed high-prow- ed water vehicle not unlike a gon. dola, are rented hy the hour, com- plete "with -poles; Punting is very" simple; the Cam is. shallow, the pole is long, All you have to do is to seat your wife, mother, affianced, or in lieu of female acquaintance, best friend in the: middle of 'the 'punt, (Young ladies; do not, I be- lieve, punt each other; although I do not see why fot.) Anyway, you have: the passenger in the middle of «the 'boat; you stand in the back on' a little platform, just the right size. Take the pole, and push off from the dock.. Excellent. Nothing to it. N.w you are in the middle of the Cam: How historic! You will tell your: children you went punting at *. Cambridge, And what makes peo- ple say punting is hard? Why, all y~u have to do is to dig that pole into the river bottom, and push, Voilal The punt slides down the river. How deeece--lightfu'l How silvery is the water! Sce the beau- tiful building, left and right! Ob. serve the lush gardens. What a charming way of spending a sum- mer afternoon. Just pu-u-u-u-nting a-l-o-n-g; green grass, Renaissance brick, pretty girls - (or handsome young men) in other punts, waving and smiling; people sitting along the Cam, lolling on the sun-lit turf, "Why, this is heavenly!" you say. At this point, if not sooner, your pole gets stuck in the mud, you give a healthy push, and the plat- form of the punt just gli-i-i-i-des out frggm under you. For a fraction of a second you are suspended in space, clinging despérately, fever- ishly, with an expression of wild dismay and surprise, to the pole. But before your beloved in the punt "has had time to 'rise, and cry in- dignantly: "George! What are you doing!" you have descended abrupt- ly into the drink. You can walk "Happy Fanatic" 'Records Bird Songs - Ludwig Koch is a happy fanatic who cares for nothing so much as recording the songs and sounds made by various wild creatures, preferably birds, He made his first recording on a tiny. wax cylinder when he 'was' eight and is still re- cording" busily at the age of sev- - enty. SR, The BBC for whom he has made so many magnificent recordings, celebrated his last birthday with a special programme 'of the pmost famoys and interesting of them, Lately Koch presented a new programme, "Birds of the Scillies," | a collection of recordings recently made in these islands lying off the tip of Cornwall. Some of the larger Scilly Isles are inhabited, but the majority are almost all rocks and nearly always inaccessible to man though ideal for the sea birds that were Ludwig's quarry, His great ambition was to re- cord the cries of the Manx shear- waters, those far-flying birds which nest in burrows and ony come out of them on dark, moonless nights when the black-backed gulls can- not see them and attack them. As the shearwaters fly in from the sea to relicvé their mates who have been sitting on their single eggs in their burrows for twenty- four- hours and often longer, they make a noise unlike anything else. Their mates fly up to meet them and their voices mingle in cries which combine-the coo of the dove with the hoot of the owl and an unearthly shriek which is pure shearwater, To stand on a pitch- black island at midnight with these screaming birds swooping all around is an unforgettable experi- ence and it was this noise above all others that Koch longed to-re- cord. ' BY EDNA MILES ADDING flavor to a kitchen is a lift to your morale as well as to the appearance of the.room. You, as a housewife, spend more: time in the kitchen than in any other room in the house. Why, then, lavish all your attention on the living - room? i : ". Dressingup the kitcheri can he done on a budget, and done "with a minimum of sewing, The trick is in using inexpen- sive fabric to make new curtains and to tie up a kitchen theme. by making matching aprons. -Pamper yourself as well as your kitchen! : : The popularity of denim is penetrating from fashion to -home decoration.. Or, you may use highly acceptable ging- hams or chintzes, both inexpensive. ___ Frosting on.the cake comes from your own ingenuity and from the clever use of conso trim. Blue denim, for example, can be 'combined with white ball fringe to make cottage curtains. Run up a matching apron in cobbler style, with * three roomy pockets that are handy for storing odds and ends as you work, ol Pink-and-white checked ghgham is the best bel for tie- back curtains. Try edging them in red-and-white cotton i loop trim and use this same trim for ruffle valance and tie- backs. The matching apron is pretty in a petal effect, perked up by red-and-white loops. For a kitchen window without a view or_one with an un- sightly view, opaque green glazed chintz hides unaltractive scenes and keeps the inside looking bright. These are made in cottage style, bordered with quilted chintz which-also is used for the valance. Edging is fluffy yellow cotton brush trim. The apron, which repeats the motif, is worked with - quilted chintz pocket and two inserts that can double as pot holders. Brush trim is repented at pocket and hem. For an ordinary window, about three yards of fabric will make the curtains, with enough left over for an apron by piccing in three sections. : ~ Use Inexpensive Fabrics to Brighten Your Kitchen Practical and pretty, this set of kitchen curtains and an apron to match are made of sturdy blue denim- with a white ball fringe. * TABLE TALKS dane Andrews Match The Nicknames With The Pople Through the media of music, or sports, or entertainment, people in these fields have been dubbed with nicknames that fit them.

La Majestic Ararat Pc In the imagination of the ancl ents, Ararat seemed a wonder, the work of a supernatural power; the colossus became: sacred, the abode of genii.. known as "Dragon's Sons." Its snowy summit was as- sociated with the dim memories of forgotten ages, with stories én. hanced by tradition, and Ararat, i - the work of divine hands, stood in coaitrast . to that other fabulous tower which maeials liad sought in_ vain to build to heaven, Such power and grandeur, such com- manding poetry, emanate from the volcano's majesty; that simple minds have ever been struck with overwhelming awe and admiration in the presence of this natural wonder . . . } When towards the east the sky is aglow with the fires that herald the dawn, while all Armenia is still slumbering deep in darkness, a blood-colored patch appears in the cloud, bright as the steel aglow on the blacksmith's anvil. Slowly this patch spreads, lengthens, and takes the form of the sharp-pointed head of a giant arrow, directed threat- eningly to heaven. This is the snowy peak of Great Ararat, made crimson by the first rays of the sun, while the orb itself, still hid- den to mortals, announces its coms= ing by the gleams it sheds in the cloud ' beyond the Black Moun- tains , . . To the left of the Giant rises an- other peak, lower but just as sharp in outline, and also bathed in blood, namely, the Lesser Ararat. It like- wise is touched by the first glows of daylight, and this vision, evoca- tive of the time when the two craters together belched forth flames and lava, soon disappears. Then, towards the west, there comes soon into view the summit of another extinct volcano, the THANX out. No danger.

Colours May Make Child A Gunman If you are a parent and want your child to be a warm-hearted, relaxed little chap, see that the walls of his nursery or the room where he habitually sleeps are dec- orated in greens and browns, For according to an American who studies the effect of colour on children (he has recently decorated 50 nurseries in order to do thi), the right colours are vital in a child's life. He says parents should avoid brilliant red on nursery walls, Red- ~ stimulates; a child influenced too much by red might become a gun- "man! Deep blues and purples will give a baby a calm, philosophical outlook, states this expert. But he utters this warning: "The worst thing parents can do is to use a lot of conflicting colours." Why? Because they are "too much of an optical stimulation for a child. The infant will not show it as quickly as an adult, but eventually he will get nervous." If you have a tin of black paint you don't want, your child will be delighted if you slap it over the nursery walls, For children accept black as easily as pale pink or blue. But a mother's reaction to a given shade is often transmitted to a child, To Conclude . . . In Tulsa, Okla., Mrs, Emma Conway. complained to police that her husband, after a spat, had: 1)-mixed alcohol with ber cosmetics, 2) smeared sulfa _ eream on=her clothing, 3) cut the "otraps off' her. shoes; 4) dumped a Bot roast with gravy 'all over the kitchen, 5) broken the bedroom mirror and two flower vases, 6) slashed her brassieres to shreds.

Suddenly at twelve-forty a.m, the shearwaters rose and be- gan their weird wailing. The heavy dew was making re- cording - 'impossible = and Koch worked frantically with a handker- chief to dry out the gear and make the 'table turn, At last, at one-fif- teen, he heard through his head- phones that the disks were clearly recording the fantastic nocturnal ..cries, : = It was a sound which few peo- ple have heard and no one else has ever recorded, and he concluded his programme in triumph by play: ing his unique shearwater sym- phony for listeners.

Time In The Bank' March this year arrived one day later than usual. For this we can thank that happy institution known as Leap Year. The cffect may he to raise by a slight percentage the month's mean temperature, at the same time postponing by one day the calendar's announcement of spring. Whatever the nature of March in any given year, we can live through it in peace of mind, if not always in comfort of body, If March is genial, that is a dividend we receive without asking ques- tions. If March is snowy, that is all right, too. We will be rewarded later for our patience, and in March, with the break of the year so close at hand, it is easy to be patient. "Winter has growg old and shabby. We have some pity for him. ' In March we have time in the bank--golden time, not buried in some frowning Fort Knox but ready to draw upon when occasion arrives. In March we can still gloat over the unspent days of April, May and June, we can still count over one by one the languid hours of July and August. These are ahead of us in a land of pure de- lights not yet traversed. We can still cherish illusions about this treasure trove in its unpenectrated hiding place. It may be better to sit by our fireplaces on a some- 'what chilly March evening and it is actually to: spend those sea- sons when they arrive. For in the dream there are no disenchant- ments. There are no. days when the heat wears down our energies, There are no mosquitos. There are no traffic blocks on blistering high- ways. There are no disappoint- ments whatever, In March we still have time in the bank. Like so many Silas Marners, like so many pirates on some stormy shore, we count our golden treasure over without spending it=~From The New York Times, Reading aloud has come back into fashion, though done with a difference. First it was Charles Laughton, Charles Boyer, Cedric Hardwicke, and Agnes Moorhead holding Broadway enthralled by their pel- lucid reading of Shaw's "Don Juan in. Hell"--the wit and passion of ideas flashing before the mind's eye without encumbrance of stage- craft and scenery, as dramatic a play of sheer argument as any- thing since Plato's dialogues, More recently it has been Emlyn Williams re-creating Charles Dick- ens' triumphal American readings of a century ago--and re-creating, with the magic of the spoken word, the gloriously rough-and-tumble, haunted and gaudy, childlike and merry world of Dickens' novéls. How wonderful to sce whole troops of characters come pouring out of the void into exuberant life ---- all through one man's words and an- other man's inflections! To a generation brought up on movies in technicolor and televi- sion in the living room we hope an echo. from the readings on Broad- way may penetrate. For they re- mind us again that the words treas- ured up in books and shared among friends may open for us what eye has never beheld --"infinite riches in a little room."
