In some cases society engages a lee
turer who speaks to the members and
their friends and neighbors, and in other
cases . lecture on birds is prepared by
some competent person, and typewrit-
ten copy, with the lantern slides neces-
sary to illustrate 1t, sent ON application
to different parts of the state, there to be
read by some local bird-lover.
The millinery exhibits are arranged
for with local milliners, who submit
numbers Of hats trimmed without the
use Of wild birds plumage, the object
being, Of course, to show how attractive
hats may be made without decorations
which involve the death of one or more
Of our feathered friends. The public
is invited to these exhibitions, which
usually benefit the milliners as well as
the cause of bird protection.
But the Audubon societies realize that
there is much truth in the old saying
that You can't teach an old dog new
tricks" and that, In the end, the work
for bird protection which will bring
the greatest results is that which is ex-
pended on the children. And with this
idea to the front, great attention is be-
ing paid to the school children, since
these youngsters can be got at readily
through the teachers and brought up
with the knowledge that birds are of
great importance, not only to them but
to the country, and to the whole world.
They are taught to closely observe the
birds they see, and in the schoolrooms
are hung colored charts, that they may
readily identify the individuals they
have observed. In some cases prizes
are offered for the best compositions
on birds and their habits, and these
contests are apt to do much good, es-
pecially If preference is given to
those compositions which show evil
dence of original observation. Some
times it is possible to add Bird-study
to the curriculum, and in many states
a Bird day" has been established,
in some cases by law, and in others
by an arrangement with the teachers.
Sometimes, when circumstances do
not permit of an entire day being de-
voted to birds, it has been arranged
that part of "Arbor day" be devoted
to this subject.
Next week shall have occasion to
speak of the National Association OF
Audubon societies, which has just
been incorporated, of the work it is
doing for the protection of water
birds, and Of some of the splendid re-
suits that have been accomplished

Far more elegant than this is the
chemise which shows a handsome en-
broidered edge, cut by little apertures,
through which is threaded a ribbon.
Five tucks ingeniously conceal the
fastening of the trimming to the
chemise. 1t is done by invisible
stitching under the last tuck. A fancy
braid with square figures borders the
lace insertion which forms the center
of the shoulder pieces, and also encir-

made of pine and the cover fitted tight

There are many pretty braids and

THE EMPIRE cHem,se.
I is Garment Back Again in Favor
and Shown in Large Variety
of Patterns.

The vogue of empire chemises brings
many charming patterns to light.
many of them as simple as they are
charming, says a writer in the Chi
cago Tribune.
The little empire chemise of olden
times. with its guimpses of lace and
linon embroidery and mousseline de
sole or tulle accessories, with elabo-
rate epaulets and befrilled sleeves. was
bothersOme to tuck into the corset,
at its best creating an ungraceful and
unwelcome thickness.
To-day these pretty. yet clumsy,
creations have evolved into soft,
adaptable models, which make them
popular for the ball toilet and for the
demi-decolletes and other effects, worn
at the concert, theater and at dinner.
The shoulder pieces are nearly all
detachable, SO that they can be re-
1ected when need be. They consist
of ribbon, which passes through the
edging and is knotted in the shoulder,
or q lace insertion bordered with en-
broldery or lace. Some laces are put
IN plain. others. like the valenciennes.
are applied in dainty flower effect.
The body of the chemise takes on
two forms. The one is perfectly
straight. the other is curved slightly
to the figure beneath the arm. In
the latter case the garniture encircles
the arm hole and the shoulder pieces
are made larger and shorter. These
chemises are higher than the others
and please the gentle-woman VINO
finds the pure empire model too decol-
lete.
The trimmings are most varied.
Sometimes embroideries are made on

the land; control of labor on cooperative
principles, and 48 hours the maximum of
q weeks work.
To understand the above mentioned
list of suggested reforms. one must have
better understanding of conditions in
rural. commercial and political England
than that possessed by the average
American; but this much is patent, the
countess of Warwick is espousing the
cause of the many, not engrossed in the
pleasures and duties of mere leader of
society. 1t is socialism rather than So
ciety that appeals to the wife of the earl
of Warwick.
Of truth she confesses herself very
weary of the latter, says society consists
of bores and those that are bored; that
she has ever tried not to be counted
among the bores, and now has decided to
escape from being bored.
The earl of Warwick does not go so
far as his wife. especially on labor ques-
lions. but he sympathiZes and helps her
in many ways. does not oppose her.
1t is no caprice. no mere momentary
enthusiasm. the countess joining of the
social democratic federation. For sew
eral years her sympathies have been
with the labor party of England; the
reason she gives for her stand with this
party is that neither Of the great politi-
cal parties conservatives and liberals,
is democratic enough to further the in
terests of labor unless forced to do SO by
strong and united labor party in the
house of commons. The countess de-
clares: Il hope that eventually the labor
party will so control the house of COM
mons as to be able to place the econon,-
les of this country (England) on very
different footing"
In America We are more or less used to
see women try ito mix up in politics, as
it is rather scornfully phrased, Bat in
this country we have nothing to equal
the interest shown by the English wo-
man in state affairs She does not mix
in, she is in; as social power she yields
a strong political influence, has keen in
tellectual interest in political matters, ia
much better equipped than her Ameri-
can sister to take part in shaping gov
eminent.
English novels now and then give us
q glimpse of this place held by the Eng
lish woman of high degree in the politi-
cal world, and the newspapers occasion
ally. as in the instance of the countess of
Warwick, acquaint US with the fact that
the English society woman is woman
that has broad grasp Of public affairs.
We read of Lady This electioneering in
the interests Of her husband, of the
countess Of Somewhere striving to get
votes for somebody; but are just open
ing our eyes to realization of the decid-
ed power in the hands of the ladies
across the water.
In this respect of national feeling, it
seems to us the American woman is be-
hind the English. 1t may be the former
could never. SO different are conditions
in America, have opportunity to take
just such position; here state and
church and society not being SO closely
bound together. But it would not be
bad thing if educated, clever, Jealous
women here were to inform themselves
of social needs. The countess of War
wick is by no means the only one of her
country women we'll acquainted with the
working Of her government.
