Her Plume Cost No Bird Life.

"Only 70 the girl Of slender purse
does the cruelty of wearing birds on
ones hat appeal with force" says a
cynic who apparently hasn't heard Of
the Audubon societies. He adds that
he wouldn't dream Of asserting that
poverty is responsible for the tender
consideration of birds. 1T probably
just happens so. and thee hoice isn't
from compulsion," he says. Then he
winks. A woman seen in a restaurant
the other night had found a way of
getting round the difficulty by wearing
a hat which any friend Of birds would
have been willing to den. yet which
gratified her fancy for wearing some
thing suggesting a long, trailing plume
The plume drew the attention Of sew
eral women at the next table. One
suggested it was made Of silk: Others
said straw and one hazarded a guess
that It was surely glass" In the
eyes of those who sat further away
she was a charming, extravagant gir
with a $50 feather.

Whether i'll fortune follows the wear
er of the peacock feather is a ques-
tion Of much less interest this year
than last. The plumage OF Juno's
bird has lost its former popularity as
an ornament and its place is filled this
summer by. the butterfly. the form and
coloring of which are seen everywhere
in embroideries, laces. jewelry and
feathery concoctions for summer hats.
Real butterflies even are affected as
adornment by one woman who has no
timidity about standing sponsor for in
novations of fashion. OF course, her
butterflies are dead. She appeared at
a suburban dinner recently wearing a
novel hair ornament composed OF three
gorgeous butterflies from the tropics.
mounted between thin sheets of crystal
and set in coronet effect upon a circlet
of platinum. Tiny diamonds formed
the eyes Of the insects, but the stones
were hardly more brilliant than were
the gaily hued butterfly wings. They
appeared to excellent advantage
against the chestnut hair Of their
wearer. Her gown of cream chiffon
was ornamented with butterflies Of
example of originality. This lover OF
novelty has a remarkable necklace,
formed of smaller South American
butterflies. mounted in the same way
between CRYSTALS. which are attached
to one another by tiny golden links.
Quaint Parasols Are Summer Joys.
Truly the price insures desirable ex-

soils in rongee and rajah silk that are
being imported. These have the quaint

shades and come in three colors, white
old ivory and blue. The wooden
handles are hand-carved and the more
handsome specimens are embroidered
lavishly. In Fifth avenue yesterday
morning a beautiful parasol of this
variety was carried by u fair shopper
1t was of blue. embroidered with q
floral design in white. The handle
was carved TO represent the head OF
