Cats Are Rather High-Hat Creatures

CATS are much more controyersial animals than dogs. Dogs, lovable though they are, always give men the gratifying feeling of being superior beasts. Cats, on the contrary, after they have yawned in his face and stalked off regardless of anything but food, often give him an inferiority complex. They are proud. They always remember perhaps that a eat is said 10 have sent soldier Lord Roberts tottering and shivering off parade. But cat-lovers will delight in "Lords of the Household," by Henry Savage. It is all ahout the life. of his cats and himself (in that order) in an English cottage. It abounds in little wise sayings, human touches, questionings, dialogue with the cats (neatly done) aud pleasant wayside adventures. He explores extremely well the complex mind of the cat, and finds as much fascination in it as in Mona Lisa’s inscrutable eyes. I think anyone could enjoy this book-even a dog-lover.-J.B.
