have In mind one woman In particular
who occupies a palatlLl residence IN the
country. She abominates children and
lavishes her affections on a lot of ca
nine freaks of the kind that are usually
described as TOY dogs. She expended
thousands OF dollars In feeding, cloth
Ing and housing her pets Each OF them
was provided with a dozen suits for
different occasions and seasons. Each
OF them had Its own private apart
ment luxuriously furnished. None of
them lacked for anything that II ought
not to have had. She was almost in
despair because she could think of no
other way In which she could waste
money upon them when brilliant idea
struck her. She would buy jewelry for
them. And she did. She put gold
bracelets on the wretched little brutes
lone around each leg-and put gold
earrings In their ears. And for the
one which had the misfortune to be her
particular favorite she bought a splen-
did pearl necklace with a magnificent
diamond pendant. 1t cost over $1,000.
There Is q woman OF considerable So
cal prominence here who has engaged
a special chef to prepare her dogs
meals. For each day they have a sep
arate menu which Is inscribed on
manipulated menu card, They dine
off gold plates with the finest cambria
napkins tied around their necks. And
yet in this happy land there are hun
dreds OF thousands Of human being
living on the verge OF starvation and
thousands of babies die annually for
lack of proper nourishment,
