Mrs. Craigfe, who writes short now
els and sharp epigrams over the name
of John Oliver Hobbies. is an American,

An old school-fellow speaking of her
says that Pearl Richards" was al
ways marked figure at the West
London school she attended. She was
silent and reserved among her school
companions, and used to save her con-
f1dences for one or two special friends

honor and away" which while it had
the same sound, had not the same
meaning.

"Ouida" has just written a vigorous
protest against the wholesale slaughter
of birds for the purpose of decorating
womens attire. At the rate at which
birds are now trapped and killed all
over Europe, she says, it cannot be
many years before they will be extinct.
Meanwhile locusts, mosquitoes, cater
pillars, worms and other destructive
insects are multiplying with appalling
rapidity. "Ouida" has lifted her pen in
a good cause. L hope most sincerely
that she will win it.-Jeannette L. Gill
