from Mrs. c. T. B., Arlington }
I was most interested in a COM
ment from Mrs. T. P. of Washing
ton. about the idea of a cat being
able to judge whether hole is large
enough for him to enter Is a mis-
taken one. I entirely agree as ]
wrote to you some time ago about
my son cutting my cats whiskers
I would also like to thank Mrs. L. p
Washington for her assurance that
the whiskers would grow again, as
they have. and the cat doesn't
seem to have any i'll effects.

As .mellowinE years come on space
And when you went before,
You left the gates Of Heaven ajar
Approaching from afar.

information as to how to remove the
stain caused by mold on leather?
Leather travelling bags, one brown

underneath remains.
