XLVIT.
Two women passed each other K
front OF a department store. One.
carrying baby. stopped to gaze visit
fully at the display of dresses in the
show window; the other, carrying a
| tiny dog, had stepped from an auto
mobile and was tripping toward the
entrance of the store. The baby,
stretching out its emaciated hand,
brushed against the nose of the dog
nesting on the queenlike eppareled
Woman's arm.
Although the dog appeared rather
u&eased at what 1t may have consid-
cred an Intentional caress. its mis-
tress became highly indignant. She
shot look of anger and contempt
at the woman who had so inconsid-
erately allowed her babe to take lib
critics with the pedigreed pet.
Whether 1t was that Providence in
tervened in behalf of peace, or that
the mother of the baby was too In
tent upon the wonderfully alluring
sartorial spectacle i'll the window

with the dog failed to lSindle the
flames of war, and the baby, with its
big longing eyes riveted upon the dog.
and the dog, blinking "a good -natured
response, were being separated by a
rapidly increasing space, when Pro-

picked Evidently she was debating
whether the man had intended to rid
icule her or was some crank on the
subject of the dignity of animals. or
was just plain, out-and-on lunatic.
Before she could decide, Polydore
again addressed her.
you may recall the occasion re-
ferred to in history when the Roman
emperor, Claudius, created his fav-
orite horse consul, thus making the
animal eligible to preside over the
