Reproachful and angry and sullen and dumb:
It leaves her reforming my diet, to cure
My rum-ti-tiddily-um-ti-tum.

ANIMAL HELPS.
(By a Student of Domestic Economy.)
Living in a remote country district, where the difficulty of obtaining servants is at present insurmountable—the nearest "pictures" are twelve miles off—I have been much impressed and encouraged by two letters in recent issues of The Spectator. One describes a Bloomsbury grocer's cat that bought her own cat's-meat; another recounts the exploits of a spaniel belonging to a house painter and glazier at Yarmouth (Isle of Wight), which, if given a penny, would immediately amble off to a grocer's shop and purchase a cake.
