The other pet is a gorgeous
blue Persian cat, and such a
naughty one that it will speak
to no one but Mrs. Smith, oc-
casionally Fritz and, sometimes,
Teddy. This cats name is
Puffy and, strangely enough
for a cat, Puffy can do any num-
ber of tricks. One in particular,
wnen Mrs. Smith says GO say
your prayers, Puffy" the cat
Immediately goes over to a low
footstool, puts her paws on it,
bows her head in them and stays
very still until Mrs. Smith says
Nov you are good girl"
MARTIN FISHER, one Of the
W4 good looking and well
knownS Of the towns younger
crowd, was plenty annoyed the
last "a hours. All because Of a
minor accident which occurred
shortly after a Christmas night
dance and while Martin and a
group Of boys were taking on a
course Of food at one of the
popular night spots.
It seemed that Martin, who
somehow between 2 and 3 o'clock
had developed a light and dainty
appetite, wanted only one thing
"a green, spring salad! He or
dered it and ate it with great
zeSt. After he had finished, one
of his companions leaned over
and told Martin that there was
IAN added green" in the salad
which he (Martin) had not or
dered. What was it?" asked
Martin. "The carnation in my
lapel, which fell in your salad,
and which you have now eaten,"
replied Martins companion. And
that is exactly what did hap
pen.
ID ETTY, Carl and Gertrude
I'D Good, attractive daughters
Of the Thomas Goods, had open
house on Christmas Day and
gave all Of their many friends
the surprise Of their young lives
when they welcomed them. For
instead of looking like sisters
the girls looked like triplets, in
identical frocks Of Shimmering,
black velvet, with demure col
lars of filmy lace and the same
delicate lace forming a panel
down the front from the collar
to the hem.
These dresses had been a sur
prise gift to the girls by their
mother, who had made them
herself, entirely by hand, and
the girls were so delighted that
they decided to wear them al
ways at the same time.
DASCOM TIMMoNS. popular
ID newspaperman, received one
Of the incest surprises on Christ
mas Day. A portrait Of himself,
done by the famous artist, How
ard Chandler ChriSty, with a
charming note from Mr..
Christy accompanying it. Both
Bascom and Mrs. TimmonS
have known Mr.. Christy for
quite q long time and how Mr..
Christy made the portrait with
out Bascom knowing it is very
clever.
Often the two men would
meet for luncheon and Mr..
ChriSty would take out pencil
and paper and sketch. Natu-
rally, BaScom thought Mr..
ChrisGy was sketching some par
ticular person that had attract
ed his keen eyes, never dream
ing that he himself was being
sketched. After this sketch was
completed Mr.. Christy used it as
a model for his portrait and,
from all we hear, this portrait
is q marvellous study Of BaScom
TimmonS.
KATHARYN FUQUA and her
IN sister and brother-in-law,
the Bill Chapmans, had an es-
pecially gay and amusing din
ner party on Christmas Eve.
Everyone gathered, first, in
Katharyn'S apartment at the
Shoreham. An apartment which
seems all white, with pastel
touches of color in the furnish
ings, and that night was domi-
mated by a white and silver
Christmas tree, and fragrant
white flowers in great masses all
about the spacious rooms.
| At dinner each guest found a
gift at their place. A gift indica-
tive, in some way, Of the person
who received it. Ours was a
huge blue pencil, practically as
big as my arm; Mrs. Abner
Drury got a telephone (she does
use one an awful lott, Clarence
Marshall received a football. in
