BRITISH PLUMAGE BILL. 
The Hothouse Bill, the British government’s 
measure for the suppression of traffic in the 
plumage of wild birds, was finally defeated by 
the dilatory tactics of its opponents, despite the 
fact of its having been carried on the second 
reading by a vote of 297 to 15 and in disregard 
of the Prime Minister’s plea (on July 23, 1914) 
that it might be allowed to go through by con¬ 
sent, as, he said, he and his colleagues very 
strongly favored it and were anxious that it 
should pass during the present session. 
RESULT OF BIRD SLAUGHTER IN JAMAICA. 
Mr. James Buckland, in a recently issued 
brochure on “The Plumage Bill'’ (in England), 
says: “The wholesale destruction of bird life 
in Jamaica has led to such an increase of the 
grass-tick that the keeping of most breeds of 
cattle has become impossible.” 
NEW CONSERVATION SOCIETY IN NEW 
ZEALAND. 
A “Forest and Bird Protective Society” has 
been organized in New Zealand for the conserva¬ 
tion of wild nature. Its objects are declared to 
be the inculcation among the public, especially 
children, of an intelligent interest in the native 
flora and fauna; the preservation of native 
forests; and the assistance of any movement, 
public or private, for protecting forest land. Mr. 
H. G. Ell, M. P., Christchurch, New Zealand, is 
the honorary secretary. 
REPLACING PROHIBITED PLUMAGE IN 
MILLINERY. 
The Millinery Trade Review for July, 1914, 
says: 
“Nothing has been left undone by both foreign 
and Amerian manufacturers in the supplying of 
novelties to take the place of prohibited plumage 
and they have succeeded admirably, notwith¬ 
standing the fact that the hat of fashionable 
Parisians is adorned with paradise aigrette or 
goura in a great many instances. Just at present 
white satin or black velvet hats are worn in 
Paris trimmed with black crosse aigrette, tipped 
with white. To take its place ostrich and other 
plumage has been brought in to fill the need 
with excellent results. If the vagaries of fashion 
are to be relied upon, ostrich fanciers should 
come in- for their share of popularity for Fall, 
since wings and quills have certainly had their 
inning.”
