----------

"BIRD pets of the people of the Four Hundred have a smart hotel of their own in New York City, and there may frequently be found the parrots, canaries and bullfinches of almost everybody who is anybody in the social register or in professional life. Virginia Pope, who knows all about bird digestions and bird temperaments, is Mme. la Hoteliere and keeps every little guest well and happy."
