AN UNPREMEDITATED THEFT.

Mrs. Spreadbrow sat under the big will
low in her front garden. Behind her stood
the trim cottage, and in the grass, almost
at her feet, gamboled Eddy, her youngest
born, and the new black and white puppy.
She smiled placidly as she watched them,
but it was not maternal pride that thrill
ed her bosom she murmured: Hes
beauty! and his dear little legs and head
are ever so much too large for his body;
a sure sign that he'll be a big dog-and
that's just what 1 want" 1t is quite as
likely that if the puppy had evinced signs
of shrinking to the dimensions of a toy
terrier, Mrs. Spreadbrow would have said
to her kind, contented little self that a
toy terrier was what she craved beyond
anything else.
From the gyrations of the two young
creatures on the gross, Mrs. Spreadbrow

This springs from a cut steet buckle, while
a pair of smooth black wings, powdered
with steel sequins, gives just the required
note of fashionable eccentricity.

Breasts and the tail feathers of birds are,
for this particular specimen of hat, most
sought after and utilized so that the

fancy for wearing a knot of white ostrich
