Eighth Wonder of the World

Milan, the capital of Lombardy.. is
unquestionably the industrial metrop-
oils of the country and essentially the
sign and symbol of the new Italy. In
deed, there are few cities in Europe
where the spirit Of the Twentieth cen
fury is more firmly enthroned; yet it
still radiates the atmosphere of bril-
liant and glowing past and many great
and ancient buildings remain to bear
witness to the golden age of art. The
marvellous cathedral of white marble
is the eighth wonder Of the world.
Five centuries of effort and the genius
Of whole series Of gifted architects

When Mrs. Coal had been given to
Joan, she had taken the kitten into
her arms, and had said:
ooh, you precious black kitten. Why,
you are as black as black as-well-
as black coal.
II know. shall call you Mrs. Coal.
That will be your name"
And so the name had always stuck
to the kitten, and now that she was
big cat the name seemed to suit her
very well.
Whenever anyone asked the name
of the cat and heard that she was
Mrs. Coal, no one was In the least bit
surprised, the name almost seemed
made for her.
And another thing, which Joan said
showed how much Mrs. Coal did ap-
prove of her name, one Of her favorite
places in the house was in the old
coal bin.
Often Joan would go to look for
Mrs. Coal and there on top of the coal
bin she would be sitting, her green
eyes the only part Of her showing
color different from the coal.
And of course no one could tell II
Mrs. Coal was dirty or not from sit
