w if everybody in the world
had the persistency of a cat
what wonderful things might be
achieved. have been moved to this
philosophical state of mind by the
career of Arthur, our alley cat
Il named her Arthur the first time
I saw her because when I was quite
young there was a boy named Arthur
whom I hated with such a whole
souIed hatred that even to this day
the very sound Of the name gives me
the creeps. Arthur was the kind Of
cat you dislike violently on sight.
She was lean and a mottled gray and
one eye had a cast and she had the
general air sof a dissipated vagabond-
She was the sort of cat that you
knew belongs under barns and around
ash hears and If she'd had any sense
she would have known it, too!
II can't imagine what began the
uplift in Arthur's soul For some
reason she suddenly came to the de-
termination to attain a higher social
sphere-and one day we found her
comfortably disposed on our 500 dav-
enport in the living room. She was
not curled up as a well bred cat
should have been under the circum-
stances. but was awkwardly draped
over the velvet surface. She re-
minded me of some one from the
slunns suddenly transported TO a
Newport dinner party and trying TO
act at ease.
Mother had the cook remove her
and then sponged the ash dust on
che davenport with gasoline.

"Tbat night Arthur mounted the
+ra1lis to the upstairs windows ana
nerched on the sills and sang mourn

regular feline aeroplane, because
otberwise she never could have got
from window to window. When she
warbled you were overcome with
sense of shame that you were re-
n,,Ising her deep affection. Somehow
she managed to convey that emotion.
I'm her broken hearted despair at
our stoniness she extracted the paper
cover off the cream bottle at the
back door the next morning and
breakfasted off the cream. The cook
saw her departing. licking her whis-
kers, and threw pan at her. which
she nimbly sidestepped.
THAT night when my brother was
dressing for dinner party, he found
Arthur asleep in his hat box inside
his silk hat He said that anyway
he believed he would like to start
the fashion of going bareheadedi to
dinners. So he departed while we
