RAT IS SOLD AS PET DOG

The renewal of the fashion for small
dogs has led to a remarkable case OF
fraud, the victim OF which is one OF
the best known women in Paris soci-
ETY.. Walking up and down the fash
ionable side of the Avenue de Bots de
BOulOgne was a man who had several
toy dogs to show of. ostensibly Tor
sale. One of the smallest Of them
was a particularly diminutive speci-
men Of the griffon. Finally a woman
stepped up to ask its price. The man
made the little dog perform several
tricks, and then, after some minutes
conversation, informed her that he had
a still more remarkable specimen in
his coat pocket He then tished out
little creature scarcely more than half
the size of the first
The woman concluded what she
thought was a bargain and what the
man said was a sacrifice. She put the
little one in her muff, went off to
luncheon and, on getting home again,
pulled him out from his hiding place.
For 4 minute or two the animal
showed fear, but then, to her great
amazement and that Of her servant,
the little griifon suddenly started to-
ward the window and ran up one Of
the curtains with the speed and agn-
ity not at all unlike the best known
