baby that good little girls hope
santa Claus will bring them in per-
son, patting the head of the larg-
est Great Dane. in the kennel book.
Ramadi is the 2-year-old daugh.
ter of the Siarnese Minister and
Madame Rajamaitri, and a baby
out of a picture book. The Great
Dane is her pet.
Ramadi was wearing yesterday
q little white ruffled Swiss dress
with a very full skirt well above
her dimpled knees and full puff
sleeves above her dimpled elbows.
She had on red slippers
chauffeur bought them for her on
o shopping trip. In her curly
black hair was a red bow and on
the yoke Of her dress was red
Tosette.
Her eyes were like big black shoe
buttons, her lips were very red,
and her olive cheeks were pink.
"Didi," said her pretty mother
C"Didi" is short for Ramadi, which
translated means "Heaven") "Dldl
be kind to Cita."
Cita rolled her pale grey length
over on the deep red rug and
yawned contentedly.
Cita generally has beautiful
manners and dignity. And If she's
bored by tea parties she is always
polite for the sake of her mistress.
Cita is registered as Cleopatra,
a very stupid name to Madame
Rajamaitri. So she changed it to
"Cita," which means Little One" ."
Cita eats four pounds and a half
Of food a day and when she goes
to Gloucester in the summer she
sleeps on the floor of the train
compartment of Didi and her
nurse.
Now Didi was pulling one OF
Cita's ears. Then she was wh1S'
pering in the tone of an extremely
courteous grown-up Britisher:
"I'm sorry, Cita."
Didi's English Nanny" soon
came into the drawing room. And
Didi shook hands good-by with
everyone. And scampered cheer
fully off to bed.

carefully spaced by script writer
Of talent that Mr. 1ckes thanks
YOU for the kind invitation anc
deeply regrets that he is unable
to accept.
Secretary of Commerce Roper
will have plenty Of watermelons
for that annual watermelon 1eaS'
of his.
The Agriculture Department ha'
kindly looked into the sltuatlor
and predicts that watermelon
production in 1887 will be some
what larger than what was pro
duced in 1885," Even more lnteI
esting from a pecuniary viewpoint
IS the fact that prospects are 10
lower prices in 1887"
