The Cats OIiiet Nerves.

Life has always something in reserve
for the cat. She is mine of resources,
and in consequence she is ever serene
and hopeful. She can endure all night
exposures, the fatigue of the hunt, the
unevenness of her diet. Eight extra
lives, each one compounded of similar
exposures and fatigues and IRREGULAR
ties, are hers. How do explain thisl
/. is all due to her attitude toward the
world, to the composed state of her
nerves, and this to her peculiarly
blissful accomplishment, her purr.
Herein is she strong against the on
slaughts of time and the ingenuity of
the small boy. She drinks, camel like,
when fountains offer, slips with a
quiet thrust of her claw through grasp
ing fingers, nerved alike for. depriva-
ton and sudden attack by the quiet
hour purred away by the kitchen fire.

Roumanian hut, overtiowfng with caii,
