day by Miss Marie Pfeffer. who is sum-
mering near MerricI. /. /. About two
weeks ago twenty young women in the
neighborhood of Merrick received in
vitations to attend a poodle party The
invitations We're engraved on bristol
boards and read as follows:
Bow Wow, Dear Maiden - Miss
Pheffer's poodle requests the presence
of yourself and poodle at a fete on
Wednesday, June II, at %. m. Be sure
and bring your poodle
ZIP PFIEFFER, a Poodle"
The invitations caused much astonish-
ment. but every young woman and her
poodle at once accepted. All were re-
ceived on the veranda of Miss Pfiefer's
home by the host and her poodle Then
Miss Pfieffer explained her plan. She
suggested that all of the young women
put their poodles through their best
tricks and the prizes would be awarded
to the pets that were the most intel
igent- So the poodles We're trotted out
and made to roll around, stand on
chocolates and do other things too
cute for anything, the young women
thought.
The Maltese poodle of Miss Gene

francs, 20 centimes; secondly, the claim
advanced by countries whose credit is
low, such as Russia and Japan. They
wished to be allotted, proportionately, a
larger number of bonds than the others,
because they are obliged to pay a high
er rate of interest. This suggestion did
not evoke enthusiasm among the repre-

may give rise to considerable discus
