Cats Most Nervous Animals.

Faithful? / should say cat is. |
have known a man who trained his, a
gorgeous white pet, to follow him all
about the city. 1t would never run
away. and it never was lost. That, of
course, is a precarious thing to do. In
the first place. it attracts great atten-
ton. And, then. cats are the most
nervous animals that | know. The
least sound startles them.
"You have seen the street cat, which
wanders about, lodging from side to
side. That cat has doubtless grown up
in that fearsome atmosphere, but it
never outgrows its nervous fear. 1t
scampers, whirls and vanishes at
sound. That is why most cats could
not be trusted to follow one in the
city: they would run away from fright
at the multitude of sounds around
them. Most white cats are either
wholly or partially deaf, so that makes
Il easier.

Is of seven stitches, crochetcd into the
middle stitch of the previous row, and
so on until there are five rows of loops
of seven stitches each. Then add three
rows of nine chain loops, three rows
Of eleven chain loops and three rows
of thirteen chain loops, which com
pletes the spider web.
The plate daily is made in the same
manner, the piece Of linen being half
an inch wider in diameter.
The size of linen for the centrepiece
may be taken from an ordinary round
dinner plate. The web around the
centrepiece Is proportionately larger
than that OF the doilies. The first row
Of loops is of five stitches each, the
next five rows are of seven stitches.
Increase the loops in size every three
rows by two stitches each until the
is of the desired size.

Country Home for Cats.

The love Miss Champion has for ami
mails is evinced by the care under
which her own animals live. In the
country they have two beautiful little
homes. They have competent keeper
and lots of love. They have a doctor,
and are not given too much milk, bat
enough good meat to keep them healthy.
They are never sent all over the coun-
try on exhibition, as are numbers Of
prize felines, for their mistress will
never let them go where she cannot
accompany them.

have no idea how intimate and indis-
pensable they become. Why, with
thirty or forty cats. soon learn to
know them all, as individuals, as per-
sonalities. They learn to know us, too.
A stranger disturbs them, sometimes

abruptly curves outward.
Like the cloth toque, this model Of
tiger skin would be impossibly trying
but for its trimming. Posed length
wise half across the top centre of the
pelt covered crown is a military wing

at front, runs high and faring at the
back. In brief, the wing-topped tiger
skin toque is a reproduction of a mill

A stately looking affair is this hat, as
it must needs be, since it is designed 20

skins. How busy and prosperous the
tiger hunters must be these days when
the coat Of the jungle king is in such

Rhinestone Band.

Small danger. however, that the pub
lie will be subjected TO such a costume
anachronism, for really stunning Golf
fure ornaments have been provided for
the matron. A model which attracted
attention on the opening night Of the
Metropolitan opera season is of classic
simplicity. A narrow band OF rhine
stones encircling the base Of the crown
is brought low on the brow beyond the
bairline. From its centre an elongated
point Of rhinestones runs backward to
the top Of the head and divides the
tall built. closely arranged couture.
Truly distinctive is this hair ornament,
and now that nearly every woman has

does not seem impOssibly severe. - o.
