the ire of the Audubon society. They
are not only made of tails, but heads
as well. This gives queer effect,
and 1t would take hardy woman to

conscience can be salved a bit when
only feathers are used, but when the
whole bird is in ones hand II makes
one uncomfortable.
Those that are made only of feath
ers possess much of the beauty of the
old-fashioned fans. with an added
smartness of their own. They are
smaller than usual, and are not made
Of ostrich tips, but of a smoother
feather. Some have rows of peacocks
eyes bordering their edges, with hau
dies and sticks of tortoise shell OF
ivory. They are artistic, and go in
well with the barbaric note that runs
through the winter fashions.
