PATRICIA HOLDS A WAKE

Girls, I've finally decided that Dodo must be disposed off, said Pa tricia, the hostess and she drowned at the needle and thread with which she had used up fifteen minutes alarming a pin hole in the toe of her silk stocking.
 T will also announce" went on Pa tricia, that this is no darning bee at all, but q wake-a wake for my be- loved puppy, You see. girls, Dodo is is, pr. Hinman-calls him a pest, but
 "So does every one else. Patricia" said the girl with the pink baby chrySanthemums.
 If you had got a respectable dog proved a satisfaction now, after your four months of grandmotherly cod ding. But to laSso from a back alley a mongreI-welI, that's all he is, with an all over pattern of grimy white, yellow and black, and try to make"
 With hurt dignity Patricia, had glanced up from the toe of her silk stocking.
 Pray she demanded, icily, ''of what previous use had my knowledge of psychology ever been? Four months ago I decided to employ it. I there fore rescued a loving little puppy from behind our ash can.
 'I named him Dodo,7 continued Pa tricia. T bathed him. l brushed him. I fed him pork tenderloin and ginger snaps. I wadded into daddy's silk hat my old white velvet waist, thus making Dodo a nest that was snug aS well as ornamental to my bedroom. For I was determined to see for my self whether the effect of environ ment is all that psychology claims it to be. T."
 "Tell us about the wake inter rupted the fastidious young woman in Russian green who had been securing at three muddy imprints of Dodo's paws on her skirt.
 well, the wake is due partly to the squashy weather and partly to Dr. Jim-that is. Dr. Hinman. Dr. Him man recently prescribed that I take a long walk every day To be sure that I followed his instructions, he's been walking with me- Patricia ig- nored the smiles of her guests.
 The first time we went out I left Dodo at home. The dear thing must have thought I had vanished behind the buffet, for by the time I returned he had chewed hole in the dining room rug and had executed d bit of chirography with his long teeth on the posts of the bufret-such was his eagerness to find me. So after that had to take Dodo along. Yesterday Dr. Jim-that is, pr. 1lJlIIlCll-1ldu OH HIS 1IliIlO. So he Nas a little captious ana re- sented my having to call after Dodo every two seconds while we were out walking. Consequently I let the lit tie dear run wid-straight into d pud- dle. Having there executed his own version of the tango, he careened briskly mp to 9, woman in 2. gray suit. She hit him on the nose with her handbag.
 Wild with indignation, Dodo lunged at two tiny cl:;i:sren. wno i yelled and fell into a river of melting i by their irate mother.
 The most popular undertaken in ! our part of town had all his window i ferns out on the sidewalk for an air i ing. Mistaking them for the water cresS that 1 feed him, Dodo jumped in among them, where he was delight i edly cropping away when tfes under 1 taker came out and made passes at i him with a copper waste paper basket ] Tn his distraction Dodo next att tempted to run through an almost in- visible wire fence, which he failed to 1 see because"

 quiet girl.
 i Why-why, that's his watch eye! .>r animal with a watch eye is inva1u- 1 able, For a watch eye never sleeps but is ever on the lookout for--''
 'Wickedness.' cooed the languic
 girl, whose sable huff Dodo had once mistaken for a kitten.

 mentally counted 200 before she con- 1 tinued.
