Two fox t err lor and a maltese- cat
were the principal actor In an exolt
lfig -scene which took place during b
recent afternoon reception at the house
of a prominent Washington official. It
was S o'clock and , the light shed by
lamps nnd candles was artistic to the
point of dimness, when there sauntered
in, with, the nonchalance peculiar to the
aristocratic canine, a fox terrier of the
wicked variety. He made friends right
and, left, the guests supposing hint to
be tho property of ' their hostess and
she in turn queatlonlng In her mind
who had the bad 'taste to bring a dog
to. an afternoon tea. It happened, too,
that, being a lover of oats, she hated
dogs.
he Was jr.rrons. , .
Ah." the lady remarked with evident
effort, to one and another. of her guest.
It Is your little dogr and'evei one
could see she was nervous. But no one
claimed the dog. and at that moment
second fox terrier rushed In. carrying
the light of battle In his eye and bark
ing madly. He was In pursuit of dog
No. 1. It did not take long to find him
and then there began such a chase, and
such an ear-snlittlng din. and such
frantlo 'race over trailing gowna and
patent leathers as to demorallae utterly
the hostess and the guests or tnai ar
ternoon tea. To add to the excitement,
a net maltese cat sprang from Turk
lull corner and joined In the stampede.
Those Awful Dors.
"Who brought these awful dogs Into
my house?" shrieked the hostess, dodg
ing this woy and th.tt 'to rescue her
cat, hut no one answered the question
and the exciting chase went on, over
chairs ond sofaa. until the butler man
sed to head off the trio and eject them
Into the street By ' that time more
nuncfl had been spilled over Immacu
late shirt fronts and more scalding tea
upset into the laps otlnnoeept mat
rons, and more foreign Invective ut
tercU by the ' numerous embassy at
tachra oresent than the hostess cares
to recall.
It was learned later that the dogs be
lonred to the two families on either
side of the official's home, and that
there existed between them a feud "of
lona standing. .The terriers had es
wWi" bondage at the hourrtated.and se
looted the scene or tne arternoon lea
to settle old scores. There - Is a cool
ness at present between three big
houses that atand In a row.
Old Trick An Sight.
It' cny be un old trick, but I never
heard of it until Dr. F. L. Van Note,
the Flatbush dentist told me -HtoOut It
yesterday. Ills office cat was ailing
and he was going to administer a dose
of medicine to Jher.
"How do you do itr.I aakeA "A
cat Is so plnguey obstinate." 1
Tan, but It Is very easy to make her
tako medicine," said he. "Just put It
Into something sticky and rub In on
her paws. She will lick every particle
of It off." ' - ' " ' ' :

Is based on the theory that it pays to be honest--exactly honest with every customer. If a skirt or, a pair of trousers, or a coat is part
cotton, we believe it pays to say so. ' If some other store is selling part wool goods for all wool, or a piece of furniture thatfis made of
soft wood, for hard woodj we may lose a sale, but we have kept our reputation and will probably get the customer back in time. Our
instructions to bur clerks are never to misrepresent an article to make a sale. Of course, we may at time3 be mistaken. If we are, we
