As Birds Must See Ua-

Now we are as blind to the real na- ture and aspect of many of our national and domestic customs as we are to the real nature and aspect of ourselves and think the view we hold of them must be accepted by others. It needed, for in stance, the calm, serene gaze of an East Indian teacher to show us that there might be other ways of regarding many of our most cherished beliefs And it has needed the warning cry of many a bird lover bewailing the loss of our feathered songsters to force us to look. from another side, at our idle custom of wearing dead birds as personal adorn- ments.
 And now that I, for one, am con- vinced of the wrong of 1t, true to my inherited instincts as @ human being who can look but in one direction, can no longer see anything but cruelty in a slaughtered bird or a fluffy aigret, even when on the head of the daintiest wom- an may chance to know. see only the barbarity, the wanton destruction of life, the cruelty of practice which the fashion has entailed. Beauty has fled from the spectacle.
 Were we to hear of a heather tribe indulging like custom-adorning hu- man bodies with dead animals, we would describe 1t in that case-how our pulpits would ring And how we would beg, too, for means to go and reform the savages at oncei
 We have many societies for the culti- yatlon of those special virtues which ought to be taken for granted in Chris tians. Orientalists sometimes smile at our necessity for them. But certainly we all must welcome every evidence of activity in that one organized for the protection of birds and applaud the at titude taken by many of our women of fashion in their condemnation of the baneful practice. Cruelty, like slavery, does not injure the oppressed alone, but harms as well the masterful willing to profit by its exercise. Bazaar.
