 Why not?" SHE queried.
 Because" the Mere Man replied, re- sorting to nothing better than wom- ans reason, "the one prerogative which is dearer to a man than the Franchise or his favorite Arm Chair, or his Pipe the one to which he elings like Hindo to his Caste, is the privilege of select ing his own neclSties.

the reddef WHO cares TOT HuHlor ana iuii. THE WOMAN OF IT. By Mark Lee Lutter. Harper & Bros. New York.
 In "The Woman Of It. Mark Lee
 Lutter has graphically told the story of an unsophisicated rural New York
 family. trying to get into society at
 the national capital
 The family in question comes into a
 great fortune through the manufactum of certain "relsh,a which becomes
 very popular and makes thousands of
 dollars for it's owner. Of course financial success comes 10 them, the entire family Is infected with ambition of one kind or another. par ticularly the male member who imme- diatey develops predilections of being elected congressman. and in consequence
 season in Washington is the notable event, socially and politically. The mother and wife, upon whom the
 brunt always falls. is the central figure, keeping as she does check rein on the whole family-her rural ways and mode of life being strong within her-much to the disgust of her husband, who fears that her breeding and manner and atti- tude will block his progress and that of his family.
 1 In the telling, the woman's character is brought out very finely and her good
 sense prevents disaster and restores
 genuine happiness out of the chaotic state that affiuence has brought about
 and tends to destroy. There's a pretty love romance tha.
 runs through the story, and 1t is more prettily told. making "The Woman Oi

abundance are remembered with stories of wanton destruction, of schooner loads wasted and of the filling of barrels with the breasts pnched from the squabs, tho bodies being thrown away. The wood pigeon could not now exist in old time abundance, for such focks would clear away the crops which have supplanted the forest but it is deeply to be regretted that protective measures were not adopted in time to avert extermination. There may yet be a few specimens fin captivity. Some ten years ago the owner of half sL dozen birds in Chicago was seeking other owners willing to trade His birds were descended from d single pair and were showing the degeneracy of in-breeding. It is not at all likely that the birds in captivity will save the species from be- coming extinct. The world now possesses only a few survivals from the countless forms of life that must have lived upon 1t and the wild pigeon will be the latest to go over to the majority
 A summer seldom passes without the report of a wild pigeon being taken in some part of ontario. but these reports have ceased to awaken any hope among those who have been eagerly investigat ing them during the past two decades. In every case the bird described as a wood pigeon has proved to be a mourning dove These birds are closely related to ana closely resemble the wood pigeon. They are considerably smaller. and their pllmage is less rich in color. A dark spot on either side of the neck is a distn- gushing feature. The mourning dove sur wives because it lacks the gregarious nesting habits that made the wood pig con an easy victim.
 In any extensive wood lot in southern Ontario pair of mourning doves may spend tho summer. A careless and strag- gling nest of twigs is made on the ground or on fiat stump, and, if the two white eggs escape the crows, jays. squirrels and other robbers the twins, with the rapid growth peculiar to their race. are soon able to take wing These birds are easily distinguished by their cooing notes, their long, pointed tails, and generally dull brownish colors. Naturally there is an eager quest for wood pigeon skins and stuffed specimens. Anyone possessing even fragment of a bird has a coveted treasure. Museums are paying fancy prices for the skins, but it is not likely that there will be many additions to the specimens already recorded in ornitholo- gical collections.
