BANKER MOROS|N|
kept D|SF|GURED
DAUGHTER HIDDEN
Few Knew of Girl Savage Dog
Tore, Family Pride Con-
cealing Tragedy.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Tfrough the
death of Giovanni p. Morosini, the mil
lionaire banker, the pathetic story of a
tragedy in the Morosini family has
been revealed. 1t concerns the bank
ker's youngest daughter Amelia, of
whom society. excepting a very few
close friends, knew nothing. In fact,
society generally did not know of this
daughters existence.
Riverdale neighbors knew that ten
or fifteen years ago q bright-eyed girl
was in Mr.. Morosini's family OF hve
children. This child was Amelia. A
few years after her mothers death, in
1899, the youngest child was lost to
view. A few intimate friends heard
indirectly hat Amelia had been fright
fully disigured for life by some ami
NAL, but none of the family would
mention the subject.
For several years neighbors gossiped
about a mysterious woman occasionally
seen in the evenings on the balcony
projecting from the apartments occu-
pied by the old banker. If the mystic
rious woman of the balcony, now
known to be the youngest daughter
Amelia, ever left her apartment within
the last eighteen years., it is not known.
Amelia Morosini is now %. She was
IL when a dog inflicted the injuries
which have kept her from the public
gaze wei since, although she had q
warm place in her fathers directions.

KINDNESS TO SICK T

= L Kitty has fits, do not be afraid of
her and do not have her thrown
cruelty out Of doors. She is suffer-
ing from acute indigestion. and needs
kind treatment and medical aid, just
as would a sick child under the same
conditions. As soon as the fit has SUBJ
sided speak gently TO the poor little
sufferer. stroke her fur soothlngly; then
give her a dose of castor oil mixed with
six or seven drops Of pepsin. A e
spoonful OF oil will be sufficient. In
administering the medicine be careful
not to brighten her. for cats are very
nervous animals. AS Don as you have
uuieted her down and she is lying con-
fidingly In your lap open her mouth and
insert the spoon, then turn her head
back to as to force her TO swallow tho
oil. Sometimes II is better for w per-
sons to administer the dose, as kitty
will fight and scratch when forced TO
swallow it, and one may hold her paws
while the other gives the medicine.
Plenty of catnlp should be mixed with
kitty's food and some scattered about
where she can find II to roll IN. Also,
keep a dish of fresh water where she
can get to IL whenever thirsty. Never
tease your cat nor handle her roughly.
Cats, like children, can have their sweet
dispositions ruined by bad treatment.
Always be kind and affectionate toward
your pets, for they are helpless in your
hands.
