ASK THE FANCIER
Cat Lovers Are Nice Folks

Anyone who hates cats, as
the old saying goes. can't be
all bad.
But he can't be all good,
either, according to Kathi
Norris. a professional ailuro-
phile with big. beautiful, Sia-
mese-blue eyes.
Mrs. Norris came to town
today to drum UP support for
the nth annual National
Championship Cat Show at the
Sheraton-Park Hotel this week

A former model and television
performer Git was the Society
of Magazine Illustrators who
decided she had the most beau
tiful eyes in America, Mrs.
Norris is the wife of a New
York banker. But she also
works for a cat food company
which hopes more and more
people will become cat owners
and feed them the right kind
of food. 0t4 ~
Good characteristics
People who like cats, she
said, are likely to be creative,
diplomatic and confident, and
have a good deal Of inner
security.
She didn't draw the obvious
conclusion: If you can't stand
cats, you are likely to be I'M
creative, undiplomatic, uncon-
fident and insecure.
But she did note, pointedly,
that Hitler and MtlSsolini hated
cats-and everyone knows what

The
Rambler
Accepts
Single STANDARD
By GEORGE KENNEDY

After all, when you get
right down to it-and I am
sure most readers will agree
The biggest change in this
century has been due not to
= the automobile, nor the air.
plane, nor radio, nor TV, nor
the splitting OF the atom, nor
to orbital flight.
The big change has been
the abandonment Of the
double standard Of morality
IA change linked to the
emancipation of women.
The forebodings Of those
who opposed any change
have not come to pass.
They feared that the en-
suing single standard would
be the low one, in other
words that Of the male.
Instead, women with their
slight majority (less than l
per cent? and their moral
strength, are enforcing the
prevailing standard. II you
doubt this, Just consider
what has happened to the
sale Of chewing tobacco dur
ing the nineteen hundreds.
These reflections were oc-
casioned by paging through
the back files Of The Evening
Star.
Your researcher was look
ing for the Inauguration Of
woodrow Wilson's New Free
dom, but, as is often the
case, he accidentally came
upon something far m ore
significant. 1t was the great
women's suffrage parade of
March 3, 1918.
The time was ripe for
change. The suffragetteS
could sniff victory. In the
previous year three more
States had decided to give
women the vote, Kansas,
Oregon and Arizona. That
made nine, every State in
the Far West except New
Mexico.

animal shelters.

WITH GOOD REASON,
the suffragettes felt that the
conservative East could not
hold out much longer.
Experience in the Western
States has shown, said The
Star editorially, that the
influence Of the women at
the polls has been 'unmiStak-
ably for good" 4

they would 60 on hunger

The American suffragettes
were much better behaved
up to that time. They were

and Carrie Chapman Gait.
The pioneers, Elizabeth ACady

thony, had died.

Wilson was to be inaugu-
rated on Tuesday, March 4.
The Suffragettes asked for a

Of police, suggested Six
