The Blue Heron,

Notwithstanding the nature fakirs
who write wonderfully unsOund natu.
raj history, the heron does not spear
prey with its bill tnOr does the loom; It
bites them. nips them between the long.
sharp mandibles. We have had captive
herons and have seen thousands Of wild
ones all over this continent, and they
do not do the silly trash told Of them
by the nature fakirs.
Some OF the nests are as big as n
small haystack, built upon year after
year until they reach enormous
weights. very often up to 500 pounds
Outing.

OF all the handsome fur-fabrics, that
which initiates broadtail or moire
caricul is the handsomest. In making
this variety Of their product the man
ufacturers have achieved a marvellous
likeness to the skins they initiate, in
a material less bulky and more dur
able than the fur. The expert fur
dealer must look twice to tell the diff
ference between it and his own wares,
in q made-up garment.
, Designers have taken advantage of
this material to make up wraps that
really deserve to be described as
splendid. It's suppleness allows am
pie length and fullness without too
great weight, and it's beauty makes
the use of elaborate ornaments, in
the details of finishing, appropriate
Unless fur-fabrics are degraded in
quality they are destined to play a
great part in our apparel in the COM
ing seasons.
The stately coat shown in the pic
ture is made of an imitation of broad.
tail (or baby lamb). It is far more
elegant than the cheap grades of fur
and no fur could be fashioned into a
more impressive garment. It win solve
the problem OF those women whose
