Lonely in Berlin
Can Retain, Dogs
At Reduced Taa
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, May 15.-Old maids,
bachelors and childless couples more
dogs as companions in Berlin at
what are considered bargain rates
in view of the high taxes imposed
upon all other owners of CANNES.
According to a recent ruling of the
municipality authorities these privi-
legged persons will be assessed but
one-fifth of the regular annual fee,
which ordinarily amounts to about
81 per dog.
Every householder in Berlin Is
called upon regularly by the dog tax
collector, and must fill out long
blanks whether he owns a dog or
not.

 Walter has always had the reputa- ton of being a great woman's man.
 In fact. you remember when we
 were first married, you thoroughly
 objected 10 me being seen in any party where he was. I remember one of our first quarreis was because he happened 10 come and sit at the table where Ruth and I were having luncheon together, although you had nothing 10 say about her husband, Harry Ellington, who. through some joke Of fate, came in with the woman he afterwards deserted Ruth for.
 Ruth trusts Waiter utterly. She seems 10 think that it vas because she was married and he could moi have her that made him so catholic in his attentions to other women. She said to me, when we were talk ing it over tonight:
 Every man is true to some wom- an after his fashion,"
 You know, Jack, that thought is quite comfortable to me, for I take it to myself that I am the woman 10 whom you will always be true after your fashion.
 I haven't heard from your mother since you went away, but I know she is all right, for you know her last letter was a very cheery one. think we ought to have your mother visit us, dear. You know she has never been here since our marriage, and that vas long time ago, Jack. Somehow, l feel as though l had ai- ways been married. 1 cannot imag- inc my life without you and littfe Jack.
 Do you know, dear, believe every woman should marry. cannot speak for the men, because l feel that perhaps they are different; but no matter if a woman is unhappily mar ried, she still has a feeling of security, as long as a man provides for her and pays the respect and honor due to her as his wife, that comes from nothing else in this world.
 It's a different feeling than l ever thought 1 should have. I do not be- Iieye love is necessary 10 it. It's just -oh, I can't explain it, Jack-but | tfs just that you belong. some way, and you can't get away from fl.

Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy and the little rag puppy dog sat upon the soft green moss beneath the great trees in the deep, deep woods and i while they talked in low tones, they kept their shoe button eyes fixed up- on a strange little house. built Of sticks and leaves and dried moss in the top Of tall oak tree a short dis tance away.
 Little Rags, the puppy dog, had brought the Raggedys 10 the spot. for he had been able to smell the foot prints Of the mean selfish person who had taken the little green book or magic and the large red book Of magic from the Raggedys.
 The Raggedys had left the two magic books in inc store of Mister Grote the grocer for awhile and when they returnes .he books were gone.

 Then the little rag puppy dog said. If could only talk. would tell you that I just saw someone come down tfe other side Of the tall oak tree!"
 "Are you sure. little rag puppy dog?" Raggedy Ann asked.
 Yes" the little puppy dog replied. '1f you and Raggedy Andy had not been looking up in the top Of the tree. you might have seen it too!''
