Whv She Doesn't Wear EgretS

plumed friends. I looked at my hus-
band, then glanced at the more expert
enced of our two guides, who shook
his head.
"I was almost running toward the
nest when 1 stopped, rooted to the
ground. The most plaintive sound that
I ever heard struck my ears. 1t was
repeated, but oh, so family.
1--WE found only one Of the nestlings
alive; the other had apparently just
breathed its last. On the ground be-
meath the nest there were some empty
cartridge shells and a frog, dead and
baked from lying in the sun. Our
guides pointed this out as proof posi-
tive that one of the birds had been
killed while in the act of dropping food
into the mouths of her babies.
"I insisted on taking the young bird
back to camp with US, although the
guides assured me that it was too far
gone to live. We fed ii the best we
could, but it never repeated that heart
breaking call for food and it died that
night.
Nothing could ever induce me now
to wear an agret plume. not if the most
beautiful plume in the world were ever
given to me. The cry of that starving g
nesting calling to its dead mother for
food killed forever my desire for such
an ornament and ended all my sympa-
thy for the hunters of plumage birds.
Our guide pointed out the tree in which
he believed the hunter had sat waiting
for the return of the bird to it's nest
with food for its babies"
That sort of thing will have its in
! fluence. No matter how much a woman
may love beautiful dress, she is not
savage enough to want baby birds to
starve that she may wear a certain
/ kind of plume. And the plain fact is
that egret plumes can be secured only
at that price.

Why One Woman Is a Socialist

with us, too. For 1t is out of their
cheap, shoddy goods that the facto-
ries make their greatest profits. And
the poor people pay these profts
when they buy their ugly house fur
nishings.
Under Socialism cheap stuff will
not be made for commercial reasons.
Things will not be made to sell, but
to use. And they will be good things,
artistic, and well made. Almost every
artist is a Socialist-and there is a
reason. He hates the vulgarity of a
commercialized life. He likes beau
tiful things; not to own always, but to
look at always. AMI he knows that
under capitalism these beautiful things
are as scarce as the people who can
own them.
The material reason for being So
cialist leads to the spiritual reason.
We absorb our environment. What
we live in, we grow like. Morality has
generally been considered to consist in
refraining from killing our brother,
stealing our neighbor's wife, or pilfer-
ing from another's purse. Under this
limited definition many mean person
is considered highly moral. When we
are really developed we will discover
that bad tempers, evil thoughts, jeal-
ouSleSI OlCkeIAlSSi SCdhual AlOAl iAS
cruelty, ugliness and a host of other
recognized virtues are highly immoral
That they are enervating, depraving
harmful We will also learn that an
ugly environment is largely RESPONSE
BILE for all of this immoraity. And we
will proceed to make a better environ
ment, one thoroughly good, and beau
tiful and pleasant. In this way we
will produce poets, singers, humani-
tarians, workers, lovers, artists and q
real brotherhood of man, where we to-
day have anarchy, strife, greed an6
individualism rampant.
This is the reason I am Socialist

GOING HOME

"Heimgang" So the German people
whisper when they hear the bell
Tofling from some gray old steepie'
Deaths familiar tale to tell.
When they hear the organ surges
Swelling out from chapel dome,
And the singers chanting dirges,
"Heimgang." always going home
"Heimgang" Quaint and tender saying,
In the grand old German tongue
That hath shaped Melanchthon's praying
And the hymns that Luther sung
Blessed is our loving Maker,
That where'er our feet may roam,
StIll we journey toward GODS Acre.,
'IIelmgang," always going home.
"Heimgans" we are all so weary.
And the willows as they wave
Softly signing, sweetly, dreary,
Woo us to the tranquil grave
When the golden pitchers broken
With its dregs and with It's foam'
And the tender words are. spoken

curian Russians, but it was nJticeable
during the evening for the earnest con-
versation in which the hostess and M.
Isvolsky indulged. Practically every
p ase of Russia's relations with Eng
land and America were discussed dur
ing the evening, briefly but skillfully.
and from the lips of the charming
American woman the Russian premier
obtained better grasp of the situation
in England and America, so far as
Russia is concerned, than from all the
talks he had had with diplomats.
1t was practically the only unofficial
dinner which M. I3volsky attended dur
ing his short stay in England, and
there were many envious eyes cast at
Lady Paget because Of her success in
entertaining the Russian statesman.

~ EPTEMBER is here and with it

With the publication of new menus
in the restaurants with the oyster at
the top, the clam, which is always
overworked in the R-less months, re-
tires silently to undisturbed occupancy
of his shell.
There are, of course, many ways to
serve oysters. Here are a few given
by an eastern authority which have
been tried and found to satisfy the
taste which has been unsatisfied since
last April:
Oyster Cocktail
Hollow out a lemon, leaving the shell
intact except for a slice out of the top.
Put in six oysters and a little grated
horseradish and Worcestershire sauce.
Fill up with tomato catsup and serve
in bowls of shaved Ice.
Oysters on the Half-Shell
Wash oysters in ice water. Drain
and open with a strong knife, slightly
pointed. Remove the upper shell en-
tirely and detach oyster from lower
one, on which it is to be served. Fill
deep plates with cracked ice and place
oysters on top. Put two slices of lemon
on each plate. Serve tobasco sauce
and horseradish separately. oysters
must never be opened until just before
serving.
Fried Oysters
Instead of rolling the oysters in
crumbs and egg, wash them, dry them
thoroughly and dip them in a thin,

THE coNsoLER

Time comes to grief as sleep to WEAKNESS,
on silent sandals and with shadowy hair
sleep bends to sooth the fretful daytime
care,
And Time unto my grief shall do no less.
But vet O little and his hands shall press
Above the weeping eyes and close them there
Above the trembling lips, till all despair
Lies like a sleeping child in his caress.
And when my sorrow wakes it will not be
My sorrow any more, for snail smlie'
Teholding it. to know 1t comforted;
No sorrow, but a gentle memory
THAT still may walk with little while
At twilight when April boughs are
spread.

the sort of things that the common

the outside and fairly hideous inside,
If we Judge from the artistic stand
point-and until we do judge from that
standpoint we are not cultured, civil
lized people. The working people for
the most part have in their homes
cheap vanished furniture that they
buy on the installment plan; they must
do with ugly ingram carpets, or coarse
brussels rugs on the floors; it is fairly
inhuman to sell them many of the pic
lures that hang on their walls. They
eat out of coarse earthenware and do
without the conveniences that make
home life a comfort and joy. And
as their lives are, so their tastes and
their desires are warped and stunted

MY WISH

Not the rush and the tread
or crowds in the city street,
But dusk in the still trees overhead
And the soft ferns under feet.
Not the roar of the throng
Where the shining windows CLEAN,
But a hermit-thrush in his evensong
And a murmuring valley stream.
Not the dust and the cry
OF the hot streets walled with stone,
But white hili-msts, and the qriet sky
Where the wide, bright stars are strewn

BATTLE OF YAwNs AND GAPS

On the road to Sleepy Town.
When the sun is sinking low,
Tousle Head and Curly Brown,
In their uniforms OF snow.
Storm the steps upon the stair.
Ptter patter up the flight,
Making music everywhere
In the frolic of the night.
There's a station just above
Where the little soldiers flock.
The tick tack from the alcove
Halts them both before the clock,
And the sun upon its face
Sinking low. puts them to flight;
To the forts OF snowy white.
On the way to Trundleville,
Pretty station fair to see,
Stop the travellers who will
Soon go rolcking and free
Through the magic land of dreams.
Where the pixie and the fay
Frolic by the crystal streams
Turning nighttime into day.
Tousle Head and Curly Brown
Fight the battle, Yawns and Gaps,
But the sandman will not down,
For he holds the tiny chaps
In his grasp, and after tales
OF the fairies come the pray'rs-

aYPsIEs OF THE GASOLINE AGE

d1BslES OE THE OASOLlNb AOh
Arrayed in khaki, weather stained,
And full of grease and oil,
Their faces tanned with sun and wind,
Their hands begrimed with toll,
With honk and hoot and siren shrek
They come from near and far,
And travel in cloud of smoke,
The gypsles of the car.
In limousine and touring car
And lively runabout,
They laugh at Indigestion, nerves,
Insomnia and gout,
No dreams Of dark and evil things
At night their slumbers mar,
They keep eternal holiday.
The gypsies of the car.
The wanderlust is in their blood,
They answer to the call
OF open road and azure skies,
Green fields and forest tall,
And leave a trail of gasoline
Around this earthly star,
Those happy cousins to the tramp,
The gypsles of the car.

Solomon thought it Simply Grand
To have a Lot of Wives on Hand!
Full Seven Thousand Wives he Had
When One has Driven some men Mad,
Three Hundred Others he had too
He must have had enough to Do
To keep them all in Shoes and Hats!
Just think of It-One thousand Flats
Would mean a Ruined man Today,
1t makes me Smile when people Say
That having Wives Is a Mistake,
When Solomon, that Wise Old Rake,
A Wiser Man tits said. than Any,
Thought Full One Thousand not too Many!
