THE MEDICAL FRIENDSHIP
between Damon and Pythias had
nothing en that which apparently
exists between "Yummy," seven-year-
old Persian tabby, owned by .Mrs, H.
h. Combe, Rattenbury .St, E., and a
weeny, teeny mouse . The other
day Mrs. Combe chanced to find the
mouse eating out of "rummy's"
dish, while . the stately eat sat ap-
piovlin'g1y by, content to be on guard
'against attack rather than attack-
ing . Apparently, this kind of
fraternization had gone on before as
the cat and mouse seemed to be on
pretty good tenets And the
strangest part :of it all is that
"Yummy" has done quite a lot of
"mousing" in her day.
