I just picked up a copy of George Bernard Shaw’s 1901 Fabian Tract “Socialism for Millionaires” and enclosed is this excellent Humanitarian League pamphlet, “How Ostrich Feathers are Obtained”. “The only consistently humane head-gear is that which dispenses wholly with feathers.” Author is “M.D.B.”
