Lately two cases Of a peculiarly fragrant
nature have come under my observation.
In one instance, an American lady sent 10
= fashionable CresS-maker two dresses TO
be remOdeled-One a black velvet ball
dress, which was simply to be retrimmed
with lace and jet, and the other was
black silk walking dress, to be made over
entirely. The dresses were sent home in
due course Of time. The black silk was
handsomely remade, and was trimmed pro
fusely with velvet, for which a high price
was charged in the bill. The ball-dress
hooked ali right, but when it was tried on
The skirt was found 10 be strangely shTunk-
en- from its original full dimensions. On
examination it was discovered that by dint
70 of ingenious piecing and gOriEg the velvet
needed for the walking-dress had been ab-
strac.ed from the balldress, which was, Of
course. ruined by the process. The LADY,
therefore. had been forced not only 30 pay
for her own velvet, but TO compensate
the rascally dress-maker for spoil
ing a costly dress. In the second case,
4 voung American lady ordered some
dresses Of a dress-maker, and took her
guautifv of rich embroidery to be used on
,1ne Of The costumes. She called one day

e~ hg the dress-maker, who, having lost
;1ar net dog, accused the young lady Of
having stolen it. Naiuly did she protest
her fnnor rence; her apartm 1t was searched,
and the police would not suffer her to
cuit her room. After some hours OF this
9Dnoyancp. the dress-maSeT sent word
that the dog had been found, and tie
voung lady was, Of course, released.
ReinG a sensible aud spirited girl, ana IN
no wise inclined TO submit 20 such treat

ANNOYANCE of her false charge Of theft, but
declared that the dress ordered had been
cut ont that they should be made up, and
znust be paid for, and That she would not
give I'd the embroidery. In this di-
Iemma the young lady applied to
a mae de i1 pair, who, after hearing her
complaint, dismissed Il on the ground that,
as she had only been accused Of stealing

character. But as she vas not minded to

Cruelty to Animals

To the Editor Of the Press:
AS questions are frequently asked relative to
the origin of societies for prevention of cruelty
to animals, I thought general answer con-
corning the date of this noble movement might
paragraph from pamphlet written by Mr..
Angel, President of the Massachusetts S. P.
c. A. Will you have thee kindness to insert
the same in your paper:
"The first society for the protection of ami
mails was formed about 80 years ago in London,
and il is now one of the most powerful organi-
cations of its kind in the world. The Queen is
its patron, the Earl of HarrOwby is its presi-
dent and on its board of officers are princes,
dukes ears, bishops. and many OF the most
eminent men of England. AT the head of its
Ladies' Humane Educational Committee is the
Baroness Burdett-Coutts. Its influence with
the clergy appears from the fact, that in one
wear nearly six hundred English clergy men
preached in its behalf; its influence with mag
istrateS from the fact that in 1869, out or I4I5
cases prosecuted. 1892 were convicted; ana It's
Influence with royalty, from the fact that at
IFS last annual meeting the Queens daughter,
the Princess Louise, IN the presence OF large
audience distributed one hundred and nuety
prizes for the best compositions on kindness to
animals to the successful competitor in each OF
one hundred and ninety London schools.
Societies now exist in nearly all European
countries-in Asia, Africa and Australia-and
they are rapidly increasing in the United
States and in Canada. In Europe many of
them are under the patronage of royalty; in
this country they are under the sympathy and
aid of our most eminent men,.
Mr. Angel goes on to state what is we'll
known, but not sufficiently considered, viz I,
that many animals whose flesh we eat become
diseased through neglect and ill treatment
that both quantity. and quality of milk, by
which children and invalids are nourished, de-
pend upon the care taken of cows-that nom
preservation of birds entails increase of de-
structive insects and consequent failure OF
crops-moreover that unnecessary cruelty is
practised in the slaughter of market animals
by which their meats rendered unwbolesome-
and that many dumb creatures, who have been
mans faithful servants in youth, are aban-
doned 10 age to helpless suffering. >,
AS reply TO the query "How can these evils
be mitgated?" Mr.. AugelPs answer is, by
the formation of societies whose organized
action shall relieve the misery of those crea-
lures who cannot plead for themselves"
Will not our Portland community echo these
words? MRS. j. Is. CARROLL.
