man to Help Her.
There was a fire in the cellar Of a
big tenement, No. 155 West Twenty
ifth street. but that has little to do
with this story. It serves only to in
troduce one large black cat, four very
small black kittens, a tender-hearted
battalion chief and two sympathetic
6remen.
The framen were pumping water
into the cellar, when the big black
cat rubbed against the leg. of a fire.
man and "me-owed.". The fireman
showed her away. She went to an
other fireman and received the same
treatment. Finally she rubbed up
against Battalion Chief Langford. He
noticed that after each meow" she
would walk off in the direction of
No. 1853 West Tw%enty-ffth~ street, on
the ground floor of which was a
butcher shop.
Seems to me that cat has some
thing on her mind" he said. Acts
as If she wanted me to follow her"
The chief followed the cat. In
front of No. 1853 she raised herself
on a level with the window of the
butcher shop and gazed In, making
piteous cries. Langford peered in
and saw Nesting in the window four
black Kittens ... 's.
"Well, here's a chance to save some
lives, anyhow" said the chief. He
ordered Fireman Wittemeyer and
Bolinger to break open the door. The
cat scrambled inside, leaped upon the
window ledge and carried one of the
kittens to the sidewalk. Langford
gathered up the other three and laid
them down beside kitten No. 1. The
kittens were gasping and almost suf-
located. The chief sent a fireman for
warm milk. While the kittens were
coming back to life the mother cat
rubbed against Langford's boots and
purred her gratitude. Later the kit
tens were taken into a neighboring
doorway, the blaze was drowned out
and the sympathetic fremen de-
parted.-New York World.

In Various Green's.

Green has the stamp of approval,
for the moment, at least. Parisians
show a decided leaning toward the
color right now. There are smart
green tailored costumes abroad, and
indoors the afternoon gown of green
in all its shades, from the peacock
blues and greens to the empire green,
and again the softer shades of gray
