DESCENDANTS OF ROYAL
PETS VIE FOR HONORS
Herald a Pedigreed Angora,
Helps Pay Expenses of
Successful Show

Beribboned feline aristocrats purred
on their embroidered cushions yester-
day and whiled away the time of the
fifth annual exhibit of the Los An
geles Cat club in the Pantages theater
building, in South Broadway. Unruf-
fed by the close scrutiny of the silken-
clad judges as they rustled past the
cages of the descendants of Persian
cat nobility some of whose forebears
may have romped at the feet of the
favorite wives of the sultans of long
ago, these cats, who come from lux
urious homes throughout Los Angeles
and it's suburbs, and have never
known what it is to squabble over the
back fence for chicken bones, took
everything calmly, as becomes the
social elect.
Today will mark the decision Of the
cat show judges, and among the mem
bers of the club, many OF them wives
of business men, there Is much specu-
lation as to just whoses cat Is to be
crowned the victor.
There are big cats and small cats,
plump cats and thin cats, cats with
bushy tails and cats with no tails,
some cats with yellow eyes and other
cats with green eyeS-in fact, all kinds
of cats.
The feature of today will be the
rafting of Herald" a white AngOra
of lengthy pedigree, the property of the
club and the cat that is to help bear
some of the expenses of the show

club more than hundred dollars in
the sale of tickets. He was at one

There is much rivalry as to whose
cat is going to be the winner of a
handsome collection of silver trophies
held by champions.
Royal Marcus, Persian Angora, son
of Champions Marcus IT and Muffet
III and sole descendant of the famous
Royal Norton, only son of Britain pet
of the late King Edward. is conceded
by many to be the winner of the win
ners. He is the property and pet Of
Miss Dorothy Batchen, popular
young society woman OF Los Angeles.
Harrington Cherub, owned by Mrs.
H. T. A. Lowell and champion, is
also a candidate for high honors.
Cherub is the holder of many ribbons
and was a feature of the show last
year. The unexpected advent of Royal
Marcus into the silver cup arena. how
ever, has added interest to the cOn-
test
Gold de Ophir, owned by Mrs. G. H.
Connaugh of Glendale; WithaVen
Stirling. owned by Mrs. w. G. Whit
tenberger, and Abdul Aziz, imported
from Persia by Mrs. J. l.. Finan, are
rivals of Royal Marcus and Earring
don Cherub.
The cat show will remain open today
and close tomorrow night. IT is being
held under Western Cat association
rules.

Means for the erection of five new
drinking fountains for horses in var

society announces that they will be

mooring at the first floor and started
skyward with a rapidity which was

"Nine years ago I noticed a bald spot

nineteen years old, it did not seem
natural, rs it was on the side Of my
head instead OF on top. My mother
advised my seeing a dermatologist and

he said it Yves due to q germ l must

assure a cure, but by treating each hair
separately by electricity, he said, the
hair might come out white or gray, il
it came out at all. He proposed giving
me a treatment every month for six
months at ten dollars q treatment.
When / told my mother she advised
using Cuticura and this I did, using
Cutioura Soap and Ointment every day.
In two months my hair commenced to
grow, and in six months one would

Here Is a case CT pure love of her
kind. Mrs. Alma Webster Powell
makes an appeal to women to cast Off
the shackles Of the hobble skirt and all
absurdities of Ia mode and adopt the
costume of common sense which she
has designed for them. 1t is called a
comfort costume and is made on prin-
cess liues that reach to the ankles and
worn without corsets and with bloom
ers. To add style, without which no
dress was ever a success, the material
is handsome black velvet trimmed with
hand embroidery of jet. For street
wear boots and q military cape are
added of black satin. In the house the
frock is buttoned down to the feet.
The little hat pretty Mrs. Powell
wears with the costume Is made like
the cap worn by officers in the Aus
trian army and can be fashioned by
any woman for the modest sun of 81.
Every part of this attire from cap
to twelve dollar boots Is attractive,
sane and simple in effect. Mrs. Pow
ell In advocating this reform, costume
Is entirely unselfish in her aim, for in
doing SO she gives up a wealth of
Paris hats and gowns.
This costume II adopted by woman
kind will stamp out much sartorfal
envy, hatred, malice and all uncharf-
t~ableness, as all costumes are made on
the same style. 1t will remove class
distinction, and the only bone of con-
tention will be In the quality Of the
material used; otherwise Mrs. Rhine
stone will be on an equal footing, so
far as appearances are concerned, with
Mrs. Diamond.
Mrs. Powell in her comparatively
short life has played many parts. She
is a singer OF note; she Is a suffra-
gette and q law ~student-in fact, she
is interested In everything that tends
to public good, and her brain is a very
active piece of machinery.
The inventor has adopted the dress
herself, and she could wear SO many
smart gowns tt she had the welfare or
women less at heart.

How to Curl Feathers.

Before curling feathers that have
been laid away they should be hung
in the sun and air for hours. The next
step is to stroke the fronds the wrong
way-that is. from the tip to the quill.
This will make the feather fluffy.
To curl take the plume in the left
hand and hold it over steam. Begin
at the tip and stroke with q blunt
knife, taking about half a dozen
fronds at a time, The curl viii form
underneath. When both sides of the
feather are done curl a few of the
upper fronds in an opposite direction
that is, so that the curl will fall over
the quill.
