\ Lifelong Hobby.
Mrs. Harmon says her fondness for
cats began when she was child. She
has owned many fine horses and dogs
but she frankly admits that her af-
fectlons are centered on her cats. The
daughter of Mr.. +. c, Benedict, Com
modore of the New York Yacht Club,
she went In for athletics and aquatics
from the time of infancy. She is a
splendid sailor and can sail skiff,
or navigate a steam yacht with the
skill of a veteran. She has been the
mistress OF a large fortune since she
reached womanhood and her every
within was gratitied as a child Her
friends rather marvel at her fondness
for cats, saying that a woman of ath-
letic tastes would be more likely to
concentrate her interest in horses.
dogs, yachts. or some other pet to
the preference of cats. But cats are
her hobby and she let's nothing inter
fere with her care of them.
A visit to the Greenwich home is
almost sure to find Mrs, Harmon in
the big outbuilding experimenting the
care of her pets or with one of them
perched on her shoulder or lolling in
her lap. She knows just what they
need and no matter how expert the at
tendants she hires to take care of her
pets she personally superintends every
thing that is done for them from their
alton of their food.
But visit to any one of the big
hotels in whose parlors the cat shows
are held will convince the novice that
cats are most certainly having their
vogue Just now. Doting mistresses
stand about the cages of their pets
all during the long, tedious hours OF
an afternoon while the judges labor

"Milestones.'

No sweeter daintier and at the same
time more thoughtful play has been writ
ten in years than 'Milestones," the
comedy drama by Arnold Bennett and
Edward Knoblauch. which created such
an impression here last year and will
be seen again at the Columbia Theater
next week, with the same brilliant COM
pany of English artists as last season.
The collaboration of Messrs. Bennett
and Knoblauch has resulted in three
act comedy as beautiful as it is unique.
The story covers the lives of two families
through three generations-every act
showing the members of these families in
q different period, acting out their des-
daias In the very same room which, like
it, occupants. changes in appearance
rather than in character. These changes
are depicted, with historical fidelity, in
the furnishings and decorations of the
room. as well as the clothes and man
ners Of the people who grow old in it.
The three acts represent the periods of
1860. 1885 and 1912.
