federal law which forbids the use of
feathers of birds on hats worn by
women. 1t may be that in the rush
of war legislation this has been re-

after a nalf hour spent in reviewing
a parade of finely dressed women not

am much afraid that like great
many other laws this one. excellent
in its intent and praiseworthy in
every respect, has been pushed aside
in favor Of newer ones which have
more of the support of present day
