destruction OF birds for their feath-
ers for millinery purposes, these So
cieties did all that they could TO
stop such slaughter. They worked
i'm two ways for they not only tried
to educate public opinion, but they
also did much investigating as to
the routes that birds take, the
parts of the country where certain
species are found in more abund-
ance, and their general distribution.
1t was about this time that a ma
tional society was given the name
of the Audubon Society. Because
they were so instrumental i'm putting
stop to the excessive use OF feath-
ers for ornament, this society has
come to be thought of in that con-
nection only, but that is only a small
part of the work il has accomplished.
Among the recent tasks that bird
lovers have been endeaVoring to ac-
complish is the passage of a nation
al law which will prohibit the i'm
porting of all plumage except os-
trich feathers. This together with
the protective laws in our own coun-
try will assure the protection of the
birds and IL is to this end that so
much effort is being expended. The
determination of so many species of
birds once so common shows what a
terrible thing it is to slaughter them
in such numbers as was done before
their importance was realized. Mrs.
Walter said that the use of feath-
ers for ornamentation Rs a custom
that was most prevalent among bar
barrie peoples. 1t seems strange that
we of what is considered a civilized
age should be barbaric enough to
like to wear feathers.
Seven Colleges Represented
After the program delicious re-
freshments were served on the piaz-
"a, and shortly afterwards the party
broke up. Those present represent
ed seven different colleges, Mt. Hol-
yoke, Smith, Wellesley, Brown,

number, there being nine from that
college. These members gave
