RED KITTEN WHOLE SHOW
Its Peculiar Shading Attracted Atten-
ton at Recent Exhibition at
London, England.

Have you seen the red kitten -
was the question every other person
was asking at the show Of the Nation
al Cat club at the Crystal Palace.
The red kitten. which belongs to
Mrs. H. Cook. and was judged the best
cat In the show. may be described as
the ideal cat at which the fanciers
have been aiming for years. Louis
Vain. who was Judging. has never
seen its equal Its redness Ii not
marred by one speck or suspicion of
white. Its eyes are alternate circles
Of light red and dark red. Just as its
coat is alternate streaks OF the two
shades.
Never before at any show" said
Mr.. Vain. have we seen such . per-
fection OF shading as number OF the
cats exhibit So delicate are they that
they can only be judged by pure day
light"

Of inactive retainers which are load

Of nickel mixed with graphite in the
