Sir,-Mr. James Baxter, in taking a pot-shot ata sitting pheasant, mowed down a lot of other innocent fowl at the same time. Did he use a Tommy-gun instead of a shotgun, or is his eyesight as bad as his judgment? Closer inspection would have revealed it to be a song-bird, not a pheasant. But in any case, he made it quite clear that he has no love for song-birds, particularly of the female species. Does his preoccupation with stuffed pheasants and basket chairs betray his innate Victorianisman ‘idea that is still further borne out by his scorn of the female as a creator?
