remained with her till her death In

Attention has ben recently drawn by
Sir William Flower TO despisable
fraud perpetrated on the more humane
Of the fair sex. The cutlery against the
destruction OF the aigret in order to
supply plumes for ladies' hats was ap-
parently leading to some decrease in
the demand, a condition OF things
which did not suit the trader. Ladies,
therefore. who had any conscientious
scruples were assured that the plumes
were not real aigret feathers, but manu-
featured. Sir William Flower, having
examined numbers of these, has in
every case found them to be genuine
