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."
