OF pants or paJamas. They have four
legs to them and the outfit includes q
nice. warm nightcap. Slivers 10 q

During a cold snap his mistress no
ticed that Slivers got snow between
his toes and that It rolled up under
his feet. Being unable to use a quill
to remove the clinging Ice, Slivers had
cold feet whenever there was snow on
the ground, and Miss Brubaker Just
couldn't bear to see the poor thing
suffer. SO she invented the unique
costume. The four-legged garment
protects Slivers' feet and covers his
legs completely. A quill on each side
serves as a suspender button to hold
up the trousers rear legs. In front
the pants eliminate In q snug night
