By Mrs. j. M. deCottes,


back of the haron was white; the arr
tificial color isNmerely In response to
the dictates of fashion
The wearing of 'aigrettes' or
piumes from the white herons, whe-
Their native or foreign. has now be-
| come a question of ethics which every
v ian must decide for herself. 1t
matters not a whit where the plume
comes from, the fact remains the same
that the woman who wears one Is
party to a cruel wrong and the plume
itself becomes a badge of inhumanity
a. is no longer thing OF beauty.
Her newborn babe with tendrous
love
And guards her treasure from above
The word mother Is the. most sa-
cred of all names, and motherhood is
the closest of all human tics. on,
mother! when you nestle your little
ones to your loving breast ana look
into the eyes that reflect the mother
love Singing from our own, do you
NJ, sometimes think with an invoiun-
tary shudder of the sorrow and grief
1t would be were the child to be taken
from you? Or, still worse, II your ten
der care were to be removed from the
helpless infant?
while this thought is still with you,
extend it to the bird-mother, for she
/
tender love that you have for yours;
she has the same affection, the same
willingness to face danger to protect
what is to all mother sdearer than Ire
| Itself. Oh, human mother! Will you
again wear for personal adornment
pit ne taken from the dead body OF a
BIRD mother, the plume that is the en-
blem of her married life as the golden
| cirelet Is your own, the plume that
was taken from her bleeding body be-
cause her motherhood was SO strong
that she was willing to give up lire
itself rather than abandon her help-
less Infants Whenever you are tempt
ed in the future to wear a heron's
plume. think for a moment OF your
o.. motherhood and spare the BIRD
mother and her little ones
