THE CAT SHOW.

A THANKSGIVING EPISODE.

By MRS. W. J. HAYS,

Author of "The Princess Idleways."

"Yes, next month comes that old, everlasting Thanksgiving-day. I wonder why we have to spend more than half of it at the dinner table!"

"Suppose we don't? Let us strike out on a new lead."

"What can we do? Grandmother's pumpkin pies must be eaten, and grandfather's great turkey must be carved."

"Well, Charlie, I like originality."
