THE GOSPEL OF THE BIRD
■Y C. K. WOOLEY
There lie* be fora me a letter from
that sunny little bird lover, Mrs. S

like a bird herself. Is flitting from
town to town, chirruping bird lore
to all the boys and girls.

particular duty to talk to those bo)*
and girls in stale-supported inatttu

life and a greater humanitarianlsnt
“I wish you could #ee those tow

experience with the boys at the
state home in Jamesburg. N. J
They were little chaps of 10 to 1?
\eaqs They gave me the most ab
sorbing attention I told of my
neighborship with birds.
"It’s anew gospel that these boys

that it Is gospel. Really, they are

place I visit I make and leave as
samples, two birdhouses —one for
wrens and one for bluebirds, made
so they can be easily opened and

It is w’th great pleasure that we announce the Seventh Semi-
Annual Proclamation of Authoritative
Gossard Corset Styles
for Spring and Summer, 1916
The freakish and generally unbecoming tendencies of the mode

models, here shown, is reflected the demand of fashion for
a simpler style which depends upon beauty of line, correct
design and exquisiteness of material for its charm.
Gossard corsets are fitted here by experienced corsetieres. It
will be a pleasure to show you the new models. We shall

I had a picture in my mind of every
bird I had seen, so vivid that I could
carry It away with me.
"That ia the advantage of a small
museum,'' said Mrs. Mabel Osgood
Wright, foremost woman author.on
birds in this country, who was with
me. "People that come here say
fhev remember the birds, though
when they have visited a larger mu

forget."
•
The museum contains only native
birds of the state. To keep birds
of prey out of the sannnary traps
are used, but they are padded trnps.
so tha* even If one of the useful
birds Is caught, it may be saved un
harmed. *
Noisy tourists are not admitted to
the sanctuary, and all large parties
are discouraged. During the nesting
season admission Is by card only,
and even this may be stopped at
times, if thought necessary. Chll
dren and all students are welcomed
The object of the sanctuary nrd
museum is educational.
The sanctuary* occupies a plot of
10 acres with plenty of na'ural
shrubbery and little ponds, and Is
by a cat proof fence.
"There should be such a aanetunre
