Neil ct Your Toilet.
Soon the days will be crisp and snappy,
and when you awake in the morning and
thrust one bare foot out from under the
covers, you will give a little smothered
ouch" and cuddle down under the blan-
kets again. Every one knows the kind Of
morning we mean, when the window
panes are covered with delicate traceries
left by the artist Jack Frost and when
compromise is effected by putting on
ones stockings and shoes in bed.
Now, it is just this kind of weather
that makes US neglect our toilet We
hurry through our additions, giving a lit
tie dab at our face-an apology for good
wash-and get down stairs as quickly as
we can. When We go outdoors we are
shivery and creepy; we don't feel more
than half awake. and we are very uncom-
Portable altogether.
OF course, it is ever so much nicer to
battle in a warm room in tepid water,
and go through every detail Of the days
toilet with leisure that is a positive lux

A Lady Who Wants Mrs Gill 10 Provide
for Her Cat.


Some people have right funny ideas
don't they? The following letter. just
received from a lady in Richmond, by
Mrs. GILL; superintendent OF the Male
Orphan Asylum. is ample proof Of it:
My Dear Mrs. Gill,--You are so noted
for being a friend and benefactress TO
those in trouble, that. though a stranger
to you personally. have yentured to take
a great liberty, to ask very great favor:
Won't you please take my cat? He is our
special pet, but we are compelled to part
with him, a lady having come TO live with
us who has conniptions whenever she
sees a cat or knows that one is near her.
Several Of my friends kindly offered TO
take him. and hoped that he was safely
housed in a very fine establishment on
Franklin street, but it was too near home,
and Jim had the bad taste TO prefer his
old friends and his old quarters and yes
terday morning made his appearance, TO
my dismay, and TO the hOrrrfed terror
and anguish of the new inmate. You may
imagine my trouble and perplexity; ] cam
not have him killed. and there is no place
in town from which he would not find
his way home. Can you help me by TAX
ing him and letting him be one of your
boys? If you have rats, he Will more than
earn his living. He is very genteel and
well behaved, and, after being domesti-
Gated. very affectionate. If you will let
him stay. you will have to confine him
for while, feed and pet him, and l am
sure the boys will be good 10 him. and
that he will have a happy home with
them.
l am afraid he will make a sorry APP
pear3nce when you first see him, for he
has been shut up in the chicken-coop
ever since he came home, and now has
TO be sent off in a bag-so different from
the treatment he has been accustomed
