PALACE CATS JUST
HATE LADY EGLANTINE
Champion Egg Layer Distracts
Attention Of Crowds From
Fluffy Beauties.

The mystic meowings Of all the feline
princes and princesses assembled for the
opening Of the cat show at Grand Gen.
trail Palace to-day allied to ruffie the
disposition or the feathers OF Lady
Byzantine, the aristocratic white leshorn
egg laying champion OF this or any other
universe.
1t might have been expected that her
ladyship of the humble lay would have
been cortcnted after yesterdays triumph
at the opening OF the poultry show to
lay back on her laurels and give the
gallant toms and marias a chance TO
break into s~careheads. But not a bit
OF II. Lady Byzantine has been PAM
pered and petted and Kowtowed to too
much both in public and private life
20 pay the least attention to what the
cats say behind her back. SO she went
her cackling way to attract the whole
attention OF the double show.
Even the mistresses of the cats for
got their petty jealousies long enough to
inspect the hundred thousand dollar curio
that can produce 3ii precious fresh ggs
In 365 working days. All day long the
high and low among tho patrons crowded
round the shrine of Lady Byzantine In
the hope that she would demonstrate her
art. But Lady has caught right onto
the ways OF the Great White Way since
she came to town. She refuses to d.
vulge the source Of her income to The
curious. II she did any laying yesterday
Lady Byzantine waited TIL she got back
to her royal suite at the Imperial Hotel.
