dogs. Refreshments were served. Saucars
of cream. fried chicken, beef,teak and other
yictuals were supplied AMI the animals ate
to reple,ion. Finally, dog whose organ Of
comba.iveness was abnornally developed,
took another dog BY he ear. This the at
talked party rese itei, AMI thes began roll
ing and tusse'Ing over the carpet. Two
other dogs thought il a good time to settle
differences. and they fastened on TO each
other and thrsshel around until one jumped
on the piaao. making q dscord bv striking
the wires. Two fights at once stimulated
the other dogs. and the melee became gen.
eral. The butler and coachman were called
IN. and found the Young ladies crying AMI
screaming and standing Oh chairs They
cleared the room in about three minutes.
during. which the coachman had one OF hrs

friend bringing her i'll bred, nasty thing 10
the party. Several other friendships wers
widely sundered, and the young women each
gathered up and conveyed their darlings
