IN BEHALF OF BIRDS.
Action IN london by the Selborne So
ciety.

BIRD lovers will be glad TO learn that
the SeIborne society in London has issued
an appeal TO a number Of expert ornithol-
oglsts requesting them to furnish reports
70 the society as to the species of birds
now exhibited in milliners' windows for
me decoration Of woinen's hats. As a re-
suit It IS to be hoped that the ruthless
ness of the slaughter which is caused by
TINS traffic will be brought home TO those
ulfectiy concerned. We learn from cor
respondent who is taking q prominent
part IN this inquiry that the number of
dllferent species now to be seen in the
london shops is greater than ever The
ranks of the graceful little sea swallows
and gnlls have been heavily taxed. The
biack-headed gull, which has become such
q popular fayOrite at the bridges along
the Thames during the winter months
IS also especially prominent whole birds
IN summer dress being by no means rare
Probably, when the various reports ar
rive over 200 different kinds of birds will
De round to figure therein. Among the
more striking birds used for millinery
decoration today are various species Of
cumming birds, birds of paradise and sun
Dlrds, kInghSherS, egretS, herons, pigeons,
owls, swallows, titmice and parrots. BY
way OF adding insult to injury, these are
OFTEN dyed the most hdeous colors, and
are thrust into shapes that suggest death
the most offensive exhibitions of this kind
yet devised was that of a pair of love
birds skewered together and supporting
double train of a foot or more in
length, made up of the wings of others Of
the same species. AS many as twenty
pairs OF wings were used for this pur-
pose. Fancy two-and-twenty victims dis
played on one hat! After this who shall
call the Borean head-hunter a savage?
Besides whole birds there will be found
scores of nondescripts, such as the body
of thrush or a skylark, with pair of
terms wings, and the head and wings of
the beautiful white egret, dyed green.
fitted to the tail of a gull Tufts of
egret plumes and the side plumes of the
bird of paradise are as much seen as ever,
though the cruelty entailed in their col
lection has been again and again pro-
claimed from the housetOps. The pres
emf action of the Selborne society has
been prompted by the announcement in
The Diapers Record that the birds used
for millinery are not real. but are 'manu-
featured by gluing duck and pigeon
feathers over q lump of cotton wool This

London" was a recent success in the
English city; why Women Sin" is the
title of an American play of similar
stripe. and in New York a recent pro-
duction was made of a new play called
THE Evil Men Do" written by the pro-
life Theodore Kremer.
When the Dlacards announcing the
latter play were posted in front of the
American theater a middle-aged lady
was noticed TO stop and read them very
intently. Then she remarked to a COM

There is a play that ought to have a

stage hand took another haul on the

Here is the rest answered the
stage hand, as, with mighty jerk, he
drew in about eighteen inches more
dog, with tail at the end of it.
The animal was the breed known rs
dachshund. and when they came to
figure up his weight, it was found that,
being three feet long, although six
inches high, the dachshund was worth,

thinks he was stunS in that trade.

pairing herself for higher theatrical

this week she had herself photographed

She explained, with some show of coy

yearned for something far more dis

tried to buy baby hippo but the
hard-hearted superintendent declared
that she could not unless the board OF
aldermen gave their consent, which
they never would. Miss Follett con-
trolled her grief sufficiently to HE her

Two years ago Edna Wallace Hop
per came to San Francisco and the fact
that young Elkins followed her here
gave rise to the first stories that a mu-
tual attachment. originating in New
York some months previous, existed be-
tween them. Later it was reported that
Elkins. ST., had warned his son that a
marriage between the latter and the ac-

a possibility. would not be condoned.
Stephen Junior has since tried to over
