Wheelock The White Badge of Cruelty In view of the decision of the courts inregard to foreign birds, to which attentionis called above, we sincerely hope that thewishes of the Millinery Trade Review that there will be no let-up in the con-test between the dealers in aigrettes and theAudubon Societies may be fully gratified. As for the women and girls whose. THE WHITE BADGE OF CRUELTY The Audubon Societies 77 rights, if we are to believe the Review,are being violated, they have no more rightto encourage a traffic which is speedilybringing to extinction one of natures mostbeautiful creatures than they have a right tocommit any other wanton depredation whichwill rob those who come after us of theirheritage in nature. And we suggest that no more fitting termcan be applied to the bunch of aigretteswhich apparently women can be preventedfrom wearing, not by an appeal to their sym-pathies and alleged tender-heartedness, butonly by the strong arm of the law, than todesignate them the White Badge of Cruelty.— Ed.
