Dukes and Duohesses Upbend Their Dignity
to Drive PiGa and Hons.

Tho British aristocracy occasionally enjoys
itself In a whole-henrted fashion that is rather
refreshing. The latest form Of entertainment.
in England. originated Of q ducal house party
In Surrey. and has become popular to a degree
remarkable when one considers how many per-
sons are afraid Of appearing ridiculous.
The animal race has been tried over here;
but IL takes q gathering Of dukes and duchesses
and honorables to carry such a performance on
with q whoop. On the day Of the event all the
small domestic animals on the premises must
be corrRlled. and. willy nilly, scrubbe to n
state Of spotless cleanliness. Those are
troublous times for the amiable but unambi-
tious little pig ruthlessly torn from his pen.
and the shrieks OF captured hens mingle with
the distracted quacking Of frightened ducks.
Tho dogs take the affair calmly. and the cats
don't object seriously but the pcncook's pride
suffers. and he always shows resentment.
Each captive creature Is decorated with rib
bon, no two having the same color. When the
guests assemble. each receives long streamers
OF ribbon. and the hunt for partners begins.
Each guest pairs of with tho animal or bird
whose decorations match his ribbon. Then
comes the tug Of war. A course OF two or three
hundred yards is laid out and a priEo 10 offered
TO the first person who succeeds in driving his
partner past the goal. The word driving"
dragging, The creatures must be driven.
Naturally when the animals are turned loose
dignity goes to the wall, Even a,duchess can't
preserve her dignity and chase q hystericalh hen
dashes around bushes and trees aud the Arch
digni6ed manner. fhS dogs are coveted part
ners and are usually put under q heavy handi-
cap. The cats are not hopeless. though driving
