Calling yesterday on Mrs. John
Herrick, convalescent after
serious automobile accident, was
q delightful adventure.
AS we drove up the lane beside
the garden of the big old country
place near Alexandria, where the
HerrickS now live, four dogs, on
the other side of wire enclosure,
followed the car and barked a
noticeable welcome. Two of the
dogs were small gray terriers.
The other, a big odd-looking
animal, I thought was a sheep.
Mrs. Merle Thorpe said perhaps
it was a llama. Mrs. Louis G.
Caldwell declared:
''Mercy, that's Runa. She's
q Scottish deer hound and
GenO's pride and jOy.s Runa
has had half a dozen blue rib
bOns and she is going to the
Westminster dog show next
month and get another"

chair. Good Day and Good Night,

After we had reluctantly torn
ourselves away from such charm
ing company, we met Good Grac-
ious, Good Luck and Pepper in
the garden. These pups are the
carefree but polite children Of
Good Wife. Unfortunately the
Scottie, Plaidie, was out calling.
So we did not meet him.

a Scotch deer hound. The John
Herricks care only for dogs with
an intellectual past.
