CRUELTY NOT Feminine VICE
Unfair to Lay Individual Cases Of
Thouohtlessness at the Door Of
the Entire Sex.

An official of the New York Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails complains of "cruel women who
come to the meetings Of the society
wearing aigrettes of the plumage OF
birds that are obtained by the slaugh'
ter Of the mother bird and the starva.
ton Of the BROOD"
On this solid foundation of fact one
might feel secure in concluding that
women are, as a sex, more cruel than
men.
All eyes have seer the women with
the bird on her hat. She wears this
particular badge of her cruelty where
1t cannot escape being seen and for the
sole reason that it may be seen.
But is it not unfair to condemn wom-
en- as utterly cruel because Of this one
fault? After all. 1t is nOt SO much a
fault as a frailty. WOmen's vanity Is
an overpowering passion. and If they
must feed it upon the plumage of
slaughtered birds, are they any worse
than men who glut their greed upon
the fruits Of others life-crushing toll?
Cruelty is really a very i%nfreQuent
vice among women. Even bird-wearing

Der that the whole structure Of the

machine is capable of producing more
than 80 varieties Of knit goods and

tubular work. Later inventors have
worked improvements in the process.
As nj result of the war knitting
