Free Advertisement for Cruelty Thanks to the Interstate Commerce provision of the Constitution and the silly vanity of women, the market for the feathers of the cruelly killed egret is still open. In the State of New York there is a law making it a criminal offense to deal in these feathers. Pennsylvania, less ad- vanced in humanity, permits the traffic. New York women whose names ap- pear in the Social Register have lately been circularized by a concern calling it- self “The Universal Feather Co.” of Philadelphia, offering to sell New York women as many aigrettes as they are willing to pay for. The money must be sent to Philadelphia and the shipment will be made from there so as to evade the law. Come on, ladies. Help the Philadel- phia concern make money. You will also assist in the starvation of the baby egrets.
