. The book of birds; common birds of town and country and American game birds . e it chanced to carry the familycolors—black and yellow. Orioles arc a trop-ical group and the luxuriant tropical forestsare bright with the gleammg colors of manyspecies of these beautiful birds. Only a fewhave found their way into the temperate zone,but not one of the tropical species is garbedin more tasteful dress than this exotic whichhas adopted the elms and sycamores of thetemperate zone for its summer home. Whenchill Xovember winds have stripped our shadetrees of their foliage then are revealed thelong, pendant nests, wrought with so and patience by Madame Oriole, and webegin to realize how many of these birds sum-mer with us. Suitable material for the oriolenest is none too easily found, and the weaveris not so fastidious that she will not acceptstrings and yarn of any color which are hungout for her convenience; so that at the end ofthe oriole season the bird lover who is willingto cooperate with a pair of Xatures weaversmav fall heir to a nest made to order. 28.
