The Evening World’s Home Magazine, Wednes day Evening OUR ANIMAL DEPARTMENT. By Roy L. McCardell. T matters not to us whether President Haines re- signs from the S. P. CO. A, at to-morrow’s meeting or not. Our own Animal Department will be open every other day, if we feel like it, just the same. Much ado fs made over mad dogs. You would be mad, too, if you were a dog and found the headquarters of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals was a magnificent and most comfortable building —for human beings! Has a dog all the comforts of home at the main offices of the 8S. P.C.A.? No! The S. P. C. A. building-was erected for a society supposedly kind to animals. But If a horse walked up the steps and said {t was tired, would a cot ‘be provided for it? No! ere cvcureaees” If Grimalkin is “as sick as a cat” can it get medical @ttentiqn at the S, P. C. A. palace? Not much! It js a pleasant place of rug» nd roll-top desks for high-salaried humans. How different our own Ani fal Department! We give sympathy, at least. Waitor Animal Department: You ask about our animal friends and our friends who are animals, ow about the insurance magnates who have made goats of a lot of people? POLICY-HOLDER, MAltor Animal Department: Here is a case I reported to the 8. P. C. A., but it did nothing in the matter. I saw a necklage in a jeweller’s window marked “Genuine Cats’ Byes.” If they were genuine cats’ eyes must not a lot of poor felines have suffered? MISSOURIAN. HAitor Animal Department: What 1s the difference between the dog watch and a watch dog? An- Swer: One is @ sea dog and the other is a dog, see? It Is to chuckle. - CHARLES J. ROSS. Altor Animal Department: Will you kindly send at once on an errand of mercy to Jamatea Bay, where, when fishing with a net this morning, I noticed many fish running ‘wild in the water and many of them were {n-seine? D. B. H. WAltor Animal Departmont: One day last summer after returning from @ short walk I found that « flea had followed me home. He seemed to be very much attached to me, so I made a pet of him. In fact, he never left me except to pay his attentions to my father. Father was not very pleased at this and one night when the flea was unusually attentive to him he injured my pet fatally. My poor lov- ing flea died that night. [ know your readers will sympathize with me in my terrible bereavement. 8, T. 1, BAltor Animal Department: Here {s a poem I wrote all myself after I read your correspondent's fovely Poll Parrot verses, It 1s so sad I erled when I wrote it: Old Whitey is our mooley cow, She has no horns at all, And when they stole her one ewe calf She started in to bawl. The butcher killed that wall-eyed calf And slew it till it died, And when old Whitey saw the sight She wept and almost cried. A. WUNLEGG BAKER, Pompton, N. J.

Certainly we are “showy.” Otherwise we would not so Inevitably be pointed out as American women no matter In which corner of the world we happen to dMaport our- selves.

There is a tremendous difference between siowing-off and showiness, how- ever. One ts vulgar, the other involuntary. ‘The first 1s confined to the newly enriched parvenues, whose loud voices and clothes vie with each other In procialming their exceeding glory and who were Deautifully typified by the American mother to whom her daughter sald on ar- riving at a Roman hotel: ‘Mother, dear, there are some awfully nice people at the table next ours if thev wanted to kno w us.” and ergy gother” replied: “Then, my dear, we can't posstbly want to know them.” "The second belongs to the women who give thelr whole minds to clothes and who have a good deal of mind to give.
