MANY THINGS THAT ARE
NOT WHAT THEY SEEM

II IS quite startling to find, as one
does now and then, that things one sees
and handles frequently are SO very far
from what they seem; not that they
are swindles, simply that the material
they are composed of is entirely differ
ent from what one supposes. Take those
birds of paradise and other rare and ex-
quisite birds which, to the sorrow of
their husbands and brothers, so many
women wear in their hats and bonnets.
Except in the case of expensive articles
from first rate shops, none Of these

cunning limitations, worked up by neat
handed girl employees from old chicken
feathers and dyed to initiate nature.
Speaking of feathers, these are surely
the last material you would imagine
useful for the manufacture of artificial
flowers. Yet the most perfect artificial
flowers yet made have goose feathers
as their base. These are the flowers
which are used az ornaments for ladies'
evening dresses, and in color, appear

secrets, it might be mentioned that
