fact, some think she is almost too careful,
because Kitty is not allowed to eat every
thing that Is set before her when she
goes out. and it's hard for Kitty. as well
as for her friends. Kitty incidentally
is five years old. Incidentally. too.
among the articles of diet prescribed for
Kitty is modified milk, and as it does
not look quite 50 nice as the sweet,
creamy milk, Kitty's little friend. Bes
sic. IS accustomed to drink. Bessie

Kitty does. NANCY WINNE.
