Tendencie. of the Time.

Personal luxury-vulgar, ostentatious,
unRsthetic-is rampant. Our men wear
diamonds, sapphires, rubies in their
ties, In their sleeve links, in their gold
cigarette cases, In their matcbboxes.
Brutal ostentation Is near to being the
good form Of today Our women clothe
themselves with reckless profusion.
Life Is murdered in every quarter of
the globe to provide them with furs,
with feathers, with the hundred and

and upper lip and well developed
bump on the top OF the head between

sleepy cat that purs a good deal La
apt to be playful and good natured.
By all means to be avoided is a cat
with thin, sharp hose and twitchng
ears. 1t must be remembered also that
q good mouser is not necessarily a gen
tie or desirable pet. Although any good
cat will catch mice If she is not over
fed, quick, full, expressive eyes gener-
ally betoken a good mouser, The great
mistake and probably the most com
mon one in the care of domestic cah
is overlooking. particularly too much
meat In wild life the cat has exercise
which enables her to digest her food

feeding leads to stomach troubles and
