WINTER CONTIIVANCIS
If you have yet to see a bird wearing snowshoes, you need to be shown either of two good Camd- ians. a Sharp-tailed Grouse or s Ruffed Grouse (incorrectly called Partridge). Mother Nature hands out special clothing and foot-wear to these species before the severe cold oomes. because, unlike many of our birds. they spend the entire year in the locality where they were born.
In autumn young birds and their parents wander svbout. feeding on seeds. blueberries. cherries. fruits of dogwood. nuts. leaves. and buds. They require plenty of food tosup- ply them with costs of fat to sus- tain them through the winter. Their downy overcoats thicken- and lengthen too. helping to keep their legs warm. We all know that there is no better insulator than dense plumage. Snowshoes are very important also. so that the bird's weight may be carried on top of the snow.
The legs of the Sharp-tailed Grouse are always feathered to the base of the toes. As winter ap- proaches. each toe grows a fringe of horny projections on either side. From the knees down. the legs of the Rllffed Grouse are only partiv feathered in front. Small webs join the three front toes at their base. In winter, the little hind toe and each of the others from the webs to the nails are edged with fine. comb-like skin. giving the appearance of needles on the twins of a balsam tree.
The birds, safely poised on ion of the snow. come down from high izround to sheltered valleys, search- ing for dense evergreen cover. Grouse ordinarily spend nights in trees. Often throughout the lonlz winter they subsist on twigs and buds of trees especially those of ponlar and willow.
In midwinier Grouse make them- selves snua. well-insulated. one- roomed shacks. by tunnelling ihroilizh deep snow about it foot below the surface. These shacks may be from 2 to 4 feet long. There is danizcr. however. if a tliaw comes followed by frost. This seals in the bird. Either this. or a lmrtlcularlv trying winter. kills off many Grouse. their bodies being found after the snow has melted.
By the time mild weather comes at last. the coats of our Grouse have thinned out. and their snow- shoes have been gradually cast off.
Are birds valuable?
Eating Habits
ll-larriet Hill in The Gazette)
Eating habits give you away. Not nriv are they a Rood indication of your total personality but they also tell all about your emotion of the moment. Montreal Diet Dispen- sarvs dietitian-in-chief. Nan Gar. wick, says wh:.t you eat and how you eat are both revealing.
Tile person who ”Wolfs" his foozl can judged to be a hard-driving, .mpatient type. The person who f:aV.'dlPs over his meal-and child- rrn often do this - may be mak- friiz a play for attention. The in- dividual who is finicky about food usually lacks imagination and a sense of adventure and is too pro- tective of himself.
But the bland food-eater. who orders all creamed dishes. is likely to be on a diet, Miss Garvock does not think people eat all bland food from choice.
And there's'the great sf.eak-lmd. apple-pie regiment. These people hue limited personalities. They show no curiosity, and have no ('l'lV8 to investigate all the won- derful foods that are less usual.
Preference for exotic dishes may mark the social climbers or indivi- dilals with no imagination. And iliat woman who sees that her or- ange appears at the table whole and flanked with a knife is too vitamin-conscious.
She's determined not to lose one izit of the oranges Vitamin "C" says Miss Garvock, "and thus brands herself as an over-protec- ted personality."
As for the food faddlst who takes her meal in the raw-well it's not (iii'lCUlt to- place her-she is apt to be a bore.
And People who won't experi- ment with new foods impose lim- itations on themselves. for they miss ii lot of the enjoyment of eat- ing and living.
Miss Gal-vocli adds: "rhe way we eat and what we eat do not tell the whole personality story. of course, but they do provide definite

Must Give Assent
Not only Margaret, but all per- sons of the royal blood must have the Sovereign's assent to marry. in these more modern days, the ruler seldom denies that permission.
Elizabeth will have the right to declare her husband. Prince Philip. Duke of Edinburgh, as a member of the Royal Council-a five-member group which presides over royal affairs in the absence of the Monarch.
Queen Victoria made Prince Alliert it member of the Council just after they were married in l840.
Victoria also gave Alhrrt first precedence alter the Sovereign, ahead of all other royalty. peers and archbishops.I-Jlizabethcan and probably will grant this first pre- cedence to Philip. she has the power to do as she pleases about it.
