and although Dainty-that is the name 70
which she responds when summoned TO the
milk saucer-is only six or seven months old,
she is probably the only kitten in America
with a mouth so ornamented. Hence she IS
duly proud OF her unique and distinguished
position in aristccratic cat circles and IS
fond Of exposing her gold tooth for the al
miration Of human beh0lders.
Several weeks ago Dainty's master noticed
thar one Of her iucisors was not as strong rs

QUEER BELIEF ABOUT TATfOOENG.

In several Islands Of the Indo Paenc re-

closely studying the subject for some
months. the belief prevails that persons who
are tattooed have much better chance
Of getting safey into the next world Than
those who are not tattooed.
As a typical example, he cites the case Of
the women In the LaughlaH Islands. a small
group east Of the southern end Of New
Guinea. These women tattoo the greater
part Of their bodies With aRgled designs. but
never fail 10 tattoo concentric circles on
their legs.
