MANS LOVE oF IHE BOG.
OF All Animals. Only the Dog Has
Made Alliance With u.


Man loves the dog, but how much
more ought he 10 lore it IL he consid-
cred in the lnfexibIe harmony OF the
laws Of nature the sole exception, which
is that love OF being that succeeds In
piercing In order TO draw closer to US
the partitions everywhere else imper-
meable that separate the species. We
are alone, absolutely alone, on this
chance planet, and amid all the forms
OF life that surround Us not one. ex-
ceptIng the dog, has made an alliance
with us. A few creatures fear us, most
arS unaware of us, and not one loves
US. In the world OF plants we have
dumb and motlonless slaves. but they
serve us in spite OF themselves. They
simply endure our laws and our yoke.
They are impotent prisoners, victims
incapable OF escaping, but silently re
bellious. and so soon as we lose sight
OF them they hasten 10 betray US and
return 10 their former wild and mis-
chievous liberty. The rose and the corn.
had they wings. would fly at our APP
proach like the birds.
Among the animals we number q few
servants who have submitted only
through indifference, cowardice or stu
pidlty-the uncertain and craven horse.
who responds cnly TO pain and is at
tached 10 nothing; the passive and de-
jected ass, who stays with US only be-
cause he Knows not what TO do nor
where TO go. but who nevertheless I'M
der the cudgel and the pack saddle re-
tains the idea that turks behind his
ears; the COW and the OK, happy SO long
as they are eating and docile because
for centuries they have not had a
thought of their own; the affrighted
sheep, who knows no other master than
terror; the hen, who is faithful to the
poultry yard because she finds more
maize and wheat there than in the
neighboring forest. I do not speak OF
the cat, TO whom we are nothing more
than too large and UNBEATABLE prey.
the ferocious cat, whose sldelong con-
tempt tolerates us only as incumbering
parasites in our own homes. She. at
least, curses us in her mysterious
heart, but all the others live beside us
as they might live beside rock or a
tree. They do not love us. do not know
us, scarcely notice us. They are I'M
aware Of our life. our death, our depar-
ture, our return, our sadness. our Joy.
our smile. They do not even hear the
sound of our voice as soon rs II no lon
ger threatens them, and when they
look at us II is with the distrustful be-
wilderment of the horse, in whose eye
still hoyers the infatuatl of the elk
or gael that sees US for the first time,
or with the dull stupor of the rumi-
nants, who look upon US as momen.

ture.-Maurice Maeterlinck in Century.

ribbons, gloves or a hat, attend to
these things first. while your energies
and perceptions are fresh and keen. A
woman can daily around a department
store until her head aches, her nerves
are stretched to the breaking point,
and she is almost color-blind from
exhaustion. She is in no shape then
to match colors or patterns, and she
blames it all on the clerk. If she will
do her necessary shopping first and
look over the new fashions afterwards,
she will secure better results.
DON'T take children shopping with
you if you can possibly avoid putting
this tax upon their young shoulders.
Bargain hunting is not a juvenile pas
time. But if you cannot leave the
child at home, ascertain where there
is nursery or playroom for children
in the store. Many of the big depart
ment stores now have nurseries on
the top floors. where a roof garden is
thrown oDen in summer.
DON'T ask a clerk whether she
thinks you should wear this or that
color. Nine chances out of ten she
has not even looked at you, and she
will sell you a garment or a fabric
which she is most anxious to dispose
of. The tenth clerk is conscientious
enough to make a study of the har-
