Dear Miss Grey: l would
like very much to know II
the law forbids one wearing
the heron aigrette. Are they,
product of the United
States, and are they also pro-
hibited also in California?
Can you tell me why the law
prohibits anyone wearing
them?
AN ARDENT READER.
A.-The law prohibits the wear
ing of aigrettes because to obtain
ONE an average of four birds
die. The mother wears the
aigrette only when caring for her
young. She must be killed to get
her feather, and her little ones die
for want of her care. Can any
woman be barbaric enough to
want to wear one after knowing
that? At the rate women were
buying them it would not be long
until there would be no aigrettes
Cor more correctly, "egrets.")
left.
The law is federal, not state or
civic, and IL is unlawful to import
them at all. No one wearing one
is allowed to enter the States un-
til she has given it up. l think
the law provides that the millf-
ners are allowed to sell those in
stock, but to buy no more.
The heron is an egret, and the
aigrette from 1t is included.
Dear Miss Grey: Being a
bachelor and reader of your
sensible answers, come to
you for information in re-
gard to pressing and cleaning
a blue serge suit. have
never done 1t before and am
anxious to do 1t in decent
way. Very much obliged.

It's great to be homely!
At least Polaire, known In Paris
as "the ugliest woman In the
world" Is of that opinion.
She has danced in all the capi-
tails of Europe. For the last few
weeks she has been one of a three
pointed starring tour which broke
up a few days ago because of dis
agreement between the three points
-Polaire, Gertrude Hoffman and
Lady Constance Richardson - as to
which one should occupy the dress
ing room with a bath.
Since then the three stars have
danced their separate ways, Po-
laire filling an engagement at a
New York music hall and winning
great success with her fourteen
inch waist, her strange sphinx-like
face, her fervent dancing that
seems to have been invented to give
her polar name the lie.
When she came to America she
wore a ring in her nose, but she
insists that no man has ever lcd
her around by it. In fact, she de-
clares that the homely woman has
always led mankind by the nose
after putting ring in it--general-
ly a wedding ring.

me how old a chicken must

Al am afraid your argument
will be as unsettled before rs aftcx

chicken becomes hen varies with
the breed OF fowl. Then, too,
chickens, like humans, are indi-s

than others. There is absolutely
no positive answer to your ques-
ton.

AUTOMOBILE MANNERS.

Our sons and daughters look odd to
me when fully clad for athletics and
act as oddly. Something of the wild
striding of the athletic field, the
leaping, gyrating, hand-springing
tendency is carried by stalwart, bare
headed youth of both sexes into urban
districts, street and mart echoing to
whistles and the ringing cheers Of
our Young men and maidens alike.
There is a swiftness and dash, one
might almost call it an automobile
manner, in their steady stride for
ward with no regard for obstacles.
Recently saw an old lady of 80, one
whose slender frailty clearly pro-
claimed her age, totter from the
sidewalk to the gutter as she met a
group of three young women abreast,
more gently dressed" however, than
gently bred if may use the words
of a quaint old friend of mine. Ap-
parently there was to them nothing
unusual in the spectacle, and they
went swinging on their way, while
the old lady, wearing look of joy
as if all that she claimed as her due
lay in escaping destruction, climbed
triumphantly back to the sidewalk
