The Passing of the Bird. 



Much has been written bearing upon the extermination of 

 birds for millinery purposes, the mantle of censure falling upon 

 the plume hunter, "regardless of race, color, or previous con- 

 dition of servitude." Journals with ornithological aspirations, 

 and some witn no aspirations at all, have taken up the cudgel 

 with a hard set determination of eliminating the plume hunter, 

 and the sweet young creature who decorates her hat with his 

 ill-gotten gains. The fact, however, is overlooked that Dame 

 Fashion, that fickle old goddess who, from time immemoral, has 

 sat upon her throne of beauty and ruled the world, places the 

 mark for the feminine eye. Until she issues her imperial ukase 

 that the persecution of the bird must cease, it will be painfully 

 in evidence upon the hat, while the plume hunter will ply his 

 •'nefarious" calling, unmindful of the ill aimed arrows of his 

 bird-loving enemies.
