"Of course I admit IT, said the os-

"What do you admitY asked anoth-

first ostrich.
'Then / suppose you think I'm

..I'm very much like you, and if you're
queer must be-"
sWell, that doesn't always follow"
said the first ostrich. "There are many
creatures alike, but still if one hap
pened to say he was queer another
wouldn't wish it said Of him that he
was queer, too"
s'Oh, if you're queer, I don't mind
If I am too," the second ostrich
said.
"You wouldn't have to be queer just
because was" said the first ostrich.
s'You might be very nice and might
be very cross. Now, it's queer to be
cross, I've heard. No one gets any
fun out of it at all; no, they get very
unhappy. So it must be queer to be
cross"
SIS that what you meant when you
said you were queer?" asked the first
ostrich. 81 don't know if like that
so much. I was quite willing to be
queer along with you if it was just
ordinary queerness not cross
ness
ST don't blame you in. the least said
the first ostrich.
'sWell, what did you mean by say
ing you were queer? There are many
ways of being queer, it seems to me"
said the second ostrich.
s'Yes, there are" said the first os-
trich. ''Ill tell you what I'll do" he
said, ''if you don't mind my being
queer, which is really the way you're
queer, too; I'd like you to be my mate.

a young ostrich to think Of getting

were about that age, too, possibly q
little younger" Mr.. Ostrich said po-
litely.
The second ostrich moved her head
coyly to one side-that is as coyly as
an ostrich could. 'Pd love to be your
mate" she said. "And I will always
be your mate, just as you will always
be mine."
"We are queer-all of the ostrich

Ostrich, because we are feathered

ssNot in the least" said Mr.. Ostrich.

We're all so used to such queerness.'
ssThey say" Mrs. Ostrich remarked,

They've even said that some OstricheS

owners. / suppose you were first
plucked when you were nine months
old and when you were about six feet

''You're right, Mrs. Ostrich, and I
was put in little yard and my feath-

off. Well, for one, am glad that they
make use of our feathers, for we're
well treated on this farm"
"Oh, yes" said Mrs Ostrich, sits
fine to be so useful and to decorate the
hats of beautiful ladies'"
'sIt's fine," said Mr.. Ostrich, sand
I approve of it, for it never hurts us
in the least bit to have our feathers
properly plucked. 1t gives no pain,
and in no way does it hurt us. But

very sad, "care so much about all
kinds of feathers that they will even
wear the feathers of little birds which
have to be killed, and of some moth
er birds which have to be killed just
when the little ones are needing her
so much"
II can't believe it." gasped Mrs. Os-
trich. 'When they can have feathers
from creatures like us--and when we
aren't hurt by ito think of using
feathers from birds which have to
