'THE Tabby children always rose

Il there were reasons. They very
rarely stayed in bed. If one

You see, there were three kitty

got up late had TO take the aprons,
and this they did not like at all.

and they had so much to tell of the
happenings since Miss Rosie had gone
to town that IL was quite exciting.
More presents had come for the we'd

such a funny letter with so much nom
sense in it-and the rose that wouldn't

home was just as fresh and pretty and

artistic as to tie and temneramentally

Happy Miss Rosie.
And we mad a glorious time, and were

world that we quite hated to go to bed
at night, for fear we might miss some
thing agreeable.

that We had not even mentioned Kate
the one who was the great success in

who really is not quite what he ought
TO be.
We didn't seem to have time; but. as
fate would have it, that very night I
saw Kate, the successful sister, at the
theater in box.
Kate was manicured and massaged
and curled and powdered, and, when
you first looked at her, she was a good
deal of a beauty.
But at the second glance you saw
around her mouth the lines drawn by
seifishness, and around her eyes the
look that comes with lonliness. and all
her face was cast somehow in an iron
mask. and l found myself feeling very,
very sorry for Kate. who had made
such a success, and enVying, good

Australia and Argentina are the
only two countries so far as known
which have a greater per capita con-
sumption of dressed meat than the
United States, according to the De-
partment of Agriculture in a state
ment. Australia and Argentina are
countries of sparse population and
vast herds and fiocks, hence meat is
exceedingly cheap, and native con-
sumption large and probably wasteful'
The per capita consumption If meat
for Australia and Argentina is esti-
mated to be about $50 pounds per an
num-. The corresponding consumption
for the United States was computed
by the Federal Bureau of Animal Iu-
dustry to be 172 pounds in 1909, and
it is estimated to be about 10 pounds
