azurean fluid. This gave Miss Owen an
inspiration. She thrust the cat into the
pallid l'ouid along with her stockings
Superintendent Moran heard Of this and
summoned her to court, charging her with
making the cat sick through the poison
in the dye she used.
A laboratory examination Of Miss
Ovens blue Angora revealed that arsenic
one OF the elements Of the aniline dye she
used. was present in sufficient quantities
TO poison the cat by absorption through
the pores. When the Judge asked Miss

Asked IL he thought this practice OF
dyeing dogs would become the mode in

w New New York York girl, M recently Tss Sssst dyed her
w white cat blue to match her
stockings, she unconsciously started fad
among the utra-overdressed women of
Paris. The story of the New York young
woman's exploit was cabled to the French
newspapers and the opportunity for de-
veluping the idea OF having pets match
your gowns was Immediately seen and
appreciated.
Miss Owen dipped her pet cat into a
basin of more or less poisonous dye and
got herself into police court in New
York on the complain of the Humane
Society.
Miss Owen is an impulsive young girl
and she had not thoroughly thought out
the idea. The only pet she possessed was
a cat, and she therefore applied her dis
covery to the cat.
But cats are peculiar creatures. They
like to stick around the house or prowl
out at night They are not interested in
accompanying their mistresses. cat is
not altogether adaptable for the scheme
of matching your pets to the color Of your
gowns and parading the effect on the
bOulevards.
So the French ultra-fashionable young
woman who read and pondered the exploit
Of the New York girl saw at once that
Miss Owens idea could be improved upon.
How much better It would be to apply the
scheme to dogs. Every French woman
Of extreme fashion and doubtful character
has a dog-some have half a dozen.
Now, the dog Is companionahle ami
NAL He loves to go out with his mistress
in the automobile and he is ready at any
time to accompany her on stroll along
the boulevard. And It is on the boulevard
and in the Bois where the thing is i'm
portant-it does not matter much whether
your pet matches your gown If you can
not parade it where others can see how
smart you are.
d, The French fashion fadists also took
note of the mistakes Miss Owen made in
using ordinary dyes. which are more or
less poisonous. Animals will lick their
paws and their fur And the animal who
has been dyed with a strange color is very
likely TO try to wash II of with his tongue
and therefore poison himself.
So Il became important to devise
method Of dyeing dogs which would not
endanger their health
So. after some experimenting. It was
found that coffee and tea, mixed with
cream to get the right shade, was a very
satisfactory dye. Caramel was also used,
and to discourage the dog from licking
his fur little mixture of bitter quinine
was added to the coffee or caramel solu
ton. And other colors, hues and shades
have been devised.

Mr.. Moran has had long experience with
people who dye their dogs and cats. an
he has become well acquainted with var
ious little tricks which are used to make
the dye "set" and which he claims are
dangerous to the health of the animals.
"In order to give their dogs a good
brown coffee color, ! understand" said
Mr.. Moran, that these French women ~,
their dogs into water that is very hot
once every twelve hours. Bring this fact
home to yourself How would you like to
go through such a bath twice day?
Furthermore, dipping a dog in coffee is
literally poisoning him. Coffee contains
caffeine, which almost everybody under.
stands is a poisonous agent. OF course,
you might hear somebody raise the objec.
tion that no dog could be poisoned merely
by dipping 1t in coffee. You will hear
them say: drink several cups Of coffee
every day and It doesn't do me any harm
But here is little point that very few
of them know. The coffee drinker does
not absorb great quantities of caffeins
through the pores of his skin. The amount
of caffeine that a dog will absorb in a very
hot bath compared to the person who

Mr.. Milton Wolff, pres
ident of Joseph, Inc,
one of New York's fash-
ionable modistes, who
has recently returned
from Paris, recalled a
conversation held in the
lobby of the Ritz, in
Paris, which he con-
sidered typical of the
times.
Two smartly dressed
Parisiennes we're hav-
ing tea, each gowned in

which is now all the
rage. One wore a darker

a coffee color; on her

her waist, while the

we're also of that color.
Her dog increased the
decorative effect of her
gown when she held
him high in her arms,
and Mr.. Wolff noticed
that the animal had
been dyed. Her compan-
ion was adorned in the
same to-the-minute
manner, but her dog was
another shade of brown.
From their table their
high-pitched voices rose
and Mr.. Wolff could not
help hearing this con-
versation.

"A person who untustifabIy administers

stance to an animal. or unjustiiably ex-
poses any such drug or substance with in

Of a misdemeanor"
Not long ago pretty and youthful Miss
Margaret Owen learned what It meant to
run foul of this law.
Miss Margaret, who has blue eyes and
light hair, had from infancy been greatly
stimulated when in the presence of blue
color. She lived in a suite in which the
walls Of each room we're dyed different
shade Of blue. Blue rugs were spread on
the floors, blue silk shades covered the
electric lights, pictures with midsummer
day backgrounds hung on the walls and
she dined from dainty bluebird china.
She carried this habit Of surrounding
herself with blue so far that most of her
clothes were of a blue shade. One day
she decided to dye her stockings the same
color as her suit and while engaged at
this her fluffy white Angora cat came
bouncing into the room and, according to
The Washington times., 1922-08-06

two 5-grain capsules Of quinine will
make many people Of middle age de-
lirious. it is very easy to appreciate
that the great quantity Of quinine used
to keep the dog from licking off the
caramel from his fur is very liable to
poison him"
Mr. Moran claims the law for poison
ing or attempting to poison animals IS
very strict, and that coffee. tea, and
caramel, the way they are used, and
dangerous aniline dyes, fall within
the meaning of the law, which
reads:

BUSINESS LUNCHEON
 BIG SUCCESS TODAY

The Business Mems Luncheon at the Model Cafe this afternoon was a well attended success. Topics of mu- tual interest and importance were dis cussed, with a view to community benefit,
 A. J. Mcconnell, one of the moving spirits in this new civic custom, was ! asked this afternoon what he meant by cooperation for the public good, He replied;
 | 'I have peculiar conception of CO., operation. It is doing, once in awhile, something you would rather not do, to please the other fellow. You ex- pect him to return the compliment.
 gro cooperate means to work to- gether, to get the most out of working together. Prosperity must be fun damental factor of business, if you hope to survive. Prosperity must rest on the foundation of intelligence, but business structure must be built upon confidence. That confidence comes from intimate knowledge of business associates, and this knowledge is the result of wholesome association with them.
 'It is clear, then, that each profes- siona1 and commercial interest has an important duty to perform, which can be accomplished through having a clear. conception of the other fellows difficulties and viewpoint, and at the same time to manifest an everlast- ing willingness to work together to the best advancement and contentment of the public which we serve.
 "We have at. this meeting laid a 1 foundation to accomplish what has been said in regard to cooperation. Let us hope it will prosper as the meetings progress"
