ENTERED IN SHOW
PREPARATIONS FOR EXHIBITION
COMPLETE
Display Of Last Year VIII Be EcIipsed,
Promise of Baokers-To Open
at the Chutes Decem-
ber IL

Speaking of beauty and social dstinc-
tion and royalty and lineage that
reaches back to before the beginning of
time. the Los Angeles National Cat club
will open the winter bench show in the
glass pavilion at the Chutes Thursday,
December IL, closing the following Sat-
urday evening. The committee in charge
promises an array of aristocratic beau
ties for the show as has never yet
graced a like occasion in Southern Cali
fornia.
The dignity and majesty Of one pedi-
greed has absolutely no equal under the
sun, and when one harks back to the
assemblage of blue blood, prize winners
and champions in evidence at the former
show and anticipates an even better dis
play this year. one is awestruck and
dumb. One does not persume to offer
familiar caresses to these beauties, to call
'Kittie, kittie." coaxingly, but remembers
clever Agnes Reppller's words, "One has
to live up to the esteem of ones cats"
and is inclined to kow-tow and say your
majesty"
Well, they will be sure enough beau
ties, every one of them, with long, silky
coats and fluffy tails and with ruffs that
would have done lady of Queen Eliza
beth's time credit. Already the priez
committee has had about forty prizes
offered, which includes ten silver cups.
