This wave was between five and six feet high. At some places it was like a froth-tipped wall of water that came ashore in the lap of a gale ar fifty miles an hour, smashing its way up the beaches with the force of a battering ram. At other points, no- tably along the "i Evanston shore, It rolled up the shingle with the caress- ing gentleness of a purling brook. At some points the high water last- ed for only half an hour, at others one hour' and at still others almost two hours. ■•".!:",.'•■_. . ..., Mrs. C. W.

In addition to-the letter, Mr. White has included a type- written article full of sentiment from the first to the last line. A portion of this article containing the appeal for the song birds follows: -- "Sunshine" doesn't come from the sun alone. It's to be found anywhere and everywhere--in anything and everything. Who's so big a pessimist as to drive awayi the "sunshine" when It's streaming brightly through a rift In the dark, dismal clouds?

"It is ridiculous to call it a tidal wave." :"r ."More than likely a sudden vacuum In'the air out on the lake somewhere caused tlie formation of this wave,' Was^ the comment of irlstio capfal'i: •if it was an earthquake, why didn't ■vjiife feel it ashore?" : X)ne cuflous feature of the wave was that, despite the force with whicn It struck the shore at some points, very little damage was caused any- where.

Now I believe there's lots ot "sun- shine" in the song of the wild birds. I've been Interested in them as far back as I can remember and I've learned that there is for me. They're about the best dispellers of gloom that I can think of. When they're well taken care of, you'll find them twittering and chirping the live-long day. ■'_, But you've got to keep them about you. You can't drive them away, and have their "sunshine" at the same time. Gather them around you; be- come interested In their habits; feed them. You know, everybody strives to keep that which has grown dear to them. Once the wild birds have gained your affection, thy'll become dear to you.TYou'II sufeliTsIrive to keep them with you all the time. Suet or fat contributes the tempt- ing morsel which coaxes the wild birds about your home. Provide the feathered tribe with plenty of it and nine-tenths of your friendship Is cemented, never to break. After all, eight persons out of every ten like to care for the denizens of the air. What we require is greater enthusiasm on their part and the beginning of inter- est on the part 'Of the other two. Let's all labor together; the inevit able Is .bound-.tpj,happen. /We'll de- serve "sunshine^--and we'll get "sun^ shine." You've got a big'heart. Use It:---------------:------'Charles E.
