exhausts his subject, he at least gives
his reader sufficient measure OF general

In her Introduction 10 this volume OF
her making Miss Repplier offers us
still another classification OF all man
kind. The world. according To her. liz
div ided into men and women who love
eats and men and women who cordial
" dislike them. We wonder II this
division does not ignore a third and by
far the largest category, that Of men
and some women-who neither love
nor detest cats. but look upon them
with the same philosophical detach-
mcnt with which the cat looks upon
them.
The companion of our civilization,
the sclf-possesscd sharer OF our COM
forts and luxurics. the cat cannot claim
the friendship we owe the dog, our
faithful companion during the long
struggle upward from the kitchen
hidden and the cave. However, hav-
ing made her general division OF all
mankind into lovers and haters OF the
cat. Miss ReppIier proceeds To make
racial subdivisions as follows:
ONLY a Frenchman can write about his
cats In minute detail, with delicate SYM
pathy and with high quality or mag
nation. The Germans have been prompt
to recognize pussys mysterious person
atty, and are keenly alive 10 her domestic
usefulness: but they have seldom sough,
TO make OF her n friend. In England and
America the cats progress has been SLOW
and sure.
The cats friendship. which is hard
TO win and hard TO hold, Miss Repplier

the friendship which il given for the
