Bird Slaughter for Bonnet Decorations

By Editor

LET it not be forgotten, to the credit of the ladies of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, recently assembled in annual convention in Nashville, Tenn., that they passed a resolution deprecating the slaughter of birds in order to decorate ladies' bonnets.
