No Birds on Hats.

Chicago, March l0.-The Illinois Audi
bon siciety is going to strike blow at
the root of the fashion OF wearing sea-
gulls and ferns for bonnet decorations
The society has decided that moral sua,
sion with the women is not effective, ana
that the people to get after are the deal
ers.
Every milliner's house in Chicago,
wholesale and retail, is to be served with
a notice that the selling of skins OF gulls
and ferns and song birds is illegal under
the law of Illinois. The name of each
bird which it is forbidden to buy or sell
will be given in order that ignorance can
not be pleaded as an excuse for law VIC
lation.
A committee chosen by the directors OF
the society will visit the retail milliners,
and, after an inspection of the stocks, will
point out to responsible persons the birds
which it is unlawful for them to SELL The
committee will then recommend that the
prohibited skins be returned to the supply
house from which they were purchased.
If the merchants agree to do this they
will avert prosecution.
