WHAT POLITENESS DID.
Little Comedy of Errors in Which
an Iil-Munnercd yellow Pup
Played the Star Part


Frequent meetings at the church
guild, at the afternoon card club and a
few calls constituted the acduaint-
anceship of Mrs. Becker and Mrs. Cas-
sell Nevertheless they were good
enough chums.
They knew each others troubles
with servants, their favorite tailors,
and, as both were dog lovers, had
heard of each others wonderful ca
nine pets. AS Mrs Cassell swished up
the front steps leading to Mrs. Beck
er's house the other afternoon a mis-
cradle, ugly, little yellow dog skipped
up beside her and when the door was
opened shot inside ahead of her. The
animal was an irretrievably common
place cur, and Mrs. Cassell was APP
palled.
THE very ideal" she said to herself,
"of her boasting SO over her dog. Ny
terrier wouldn't condescend to look
at him!"
She endeavored to conceal her hor-
ror of the little animal frisking around
the reception room and to veil her pity
when her hostess arrived. To Mrs. Cas-
with equanimity the dogs careening
across her satin upholstered chairs
with frightfully wet and muddy feet,
and beyond one quick look said never
a word when he danced on a white
sofa cushion embroidered in apple
blossoms, but continued her conyersa-
tion amiably.
Mrs Becker's houSewifely soul was
shocked. Foolish as | may be over
my Fido," she said to her inner con-
seriousness, Il would not be so ridicu-
lous as to smile while he ruined the
furniture"
When the little dog, with his home
1y face, pranced across to Mrs. Becker
and impudently planted those same
feet in the lap of her delicate-hued
house gown she did not repulse him,
but with what Mrs. Cassell mentally
decided was an idiotic smile, even pat
ted his head and called him fond
names. 1t was too much and Mrs. Cas-
sells opinion of her good friend
dropped to zero with u thud. AS she
carried on a light conversation with
her strangely benighted hostess she
was assuring herself that charming
manners, a love for good deeds and
a pretty face did not make up for
servile devotion to such a ragged rat
of dog as the one which at the mo-
ment was placidly chewing up the en-
pensive lace curtains and tearing them
with his paws. As the animal, unre-
proved, swallowed a whole renaissance
