dependence day will be discussed by
various members of the federation.
Mrs. Maude Darlington Booth is
urging women who own cats to faS-
ten a bell to their necks to warn the
birds that pussy is at hand to de-
stroy them The scheme seems to
have some objections, inasmuch as
the bell would warn not only the birds,
but the "poor. wee, cowing. timerous'
mouse, as well. A club woman tells
the story of the same plan tried by
her own mother before Mrs. Booth
was born She tied a pretty ribbon
with a bell fastened to it around the
neck of her pet cat. and. when she
saw her next she was hanging from
twig on a tree by the pretty pink rib
bon with her neck broken. So you
see, while you are saving the bird you
may be hanging your household pet. |
And speaking of birds, one woman
has a plan for studying them with her
children by the aid of opera glasses
and 2 bird book.
