Spanish Answer Elsewhere on Thos Page HRONICLE INGER • It seems only a few months ago singe I was writing New Year greetings for 1952 and here I am again wishing you another happy new ve?e. -et tees ewe for 1953 , , . and I hope it will be a Happy New Year for every- one, with all the good memories of 1952 carried over to '53, and all the unpleasant memories for- gotten -- that is far the better way, isn't it? Perhaps last year was a hard year, and yet, in spite of upset world conditions, and of our own personal problems, we all have some pleasant mem- ories that we can wrap around ourselves like warn, defensive garments against the chilly winds winds of life. Some of my pleasant nem- ories are connected with ,the Christmas greetings that come' to me from many readers of., tis, column, some of whom send their good wishes year after year as reguieel;. as Clii•isrm..s r',: -':,y around. It gives pie a great en- couragement and I am very grateful for the kindly interest that is taken in this colunui,- And so, dear reader -friends, in case I do not get a chance to write to each one of you person- ally, yill you please accept my thanks for all your kind thoughts --- and I .hope you will let me visit you m your ,home each ' week for yet another year, I suppose niost of you people either went away for Christmas and New Year's or had your family visiting you. We had Daughter and her husband; Bob, recently home from Alberta, and two friends. who are still s+e,-_ ing with us. Just a nice little family gathering. But I will tell you more about our Christmas One Nice Form -,Jean Paradise, holds a form that places many harried taxpayers in a condition that they describe by other terms than "Paradise." it is the con. solidated income tax booklet for 1952, which is being distributed by the U.S, to all taxpayers. later on. It'may be old news be- fore you get it but it doesn't do any harm at all to stretch out Christmas memories for at least a few weeks into the new year. Christmas and New Year's are too good a time to be celebrated and then forgotten oversight. About a week before - Christ- mas I spent the better part of two days in Toronto while the other- Gwen who es staying with ' us kept house. When I got home almost the first thing I heard was this: "Next time you go away you had better take your bles1,eci kitten with you. _.w was all over the house, crying and looking for you everywhere. He just wouldn't settle down -- we didn't have any peace at all!" And yet some folk would have us belive•that cats are incapable of showing affection for anyone, Or course, atter being so lone- some, you would naturally sup-. pose that Mitchie White would be completely overjoyed when I returned. Not a bit of it, his feelings were too deeply hurt for that. I had gone away and left him so he took his own time to be friendly again. He tolerated being stroked and petted but I showed his displeasure by sulk -- nit arid -refusing to purr the way he generality does. It was not un- til the next day that he was really friendly again. The other Gwen says she had a cat who used to act the very same, "Very different from a dog," says she, "no matter whether you are away a,- day or a month, a dog never stinks -- he is always glad to see you back and gives you an efflusive doggy welcome!" That, 3 must admit, is true of our dogs also. Tippy and Honey are a funny pair. Tippy would leave a juicy bone rather 'than be left behind if any of us were going out. Honey, if she hap- pened to be out, would forsake all her friends, if she so niuch as heard a dish rattle. She .looks at you with her pleading spaniel eyes as if she had the most soul- ful thoughts and all the time you know very well all she i5 worrying about is her stomach. So, one only has to give her a few table scraps and she is your friend for life. But she has some interesting little habits too. We generally have the evening paper delivered.at night - just thrown out somewhere near the mail- box, We just say to Honey, "Fetch the paper!' and away she goes, down to the road, looks first this way and then that un- til she finds it, Then away she paper held firmly in her mouth, She brings it proudly to the ' house and waits for her reward - a little dog biscuit. We call these biscuits "cookies" and if anyone mentions cookie in her presence, het ears go up - as mueh as a spaniel's can --- and her.eeyes take* on such a bright, alert look -- in fact, she does everything but speak in human language. Well, that's all for now, ex- cept once again to wish you all A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. OSTRICH KICKS OSTRICH TO DEATH Visitors to London Zoo know nothing of the queer ways some of the inmates there sometimes meet their deaths, An ostrich was Tricked to death by another ostrich last year, says a report of the Zoo pathologist.

Such a cat exists. It belongs to a wo- man living in Cornwall, and its queer crinkly coat -the fur is less than half an inch long in any place -is exciting the interest of cat breeders all over the world. This strange cat (unlike the sad -looking tabby about) has a wild animal look and walks with' a stealthy lope. It is believed to be the only one of its kind. It was one of a Iitter of five .born some months ago. The other four kittens were normal -coated, but THE cat was, in the words of a famous cat geneticist, "born wavy and has never altered." Like curly -headed people, his hair is :mulch more wavy in wet weather than in dry, The woman who owns him is keeping her name secret because she does not want to part with him. Cat breeders hope they will be given the opportunity of re- producing the crinkly -coat type. The cat's , mother was a normal - furred tortoiseshell; the father unknown.
