Neither, Edna, this is Mitz, the aris tocratic frouse. The canine with the arctic npse and the whiskbroom coat of fur. The airedale is a very- dainty dog, light on his feet like the usher at the ball park. When he gallops through the parlor the piano is the only thing left standing. Society people like the airedale be cause it makes such a fool of itself. (There must be sometihng in that old strip of chatter, "Birds of a feath er flock side by each.") The under part of an airedale's chin makes Niagara Falls look like the Sahara desert. The airedale isn't particular what he eats. Anything suits him. Airedales are very fond of children. Get one for the baby. o o OPTIMISTIC "What's the trouble, girlie?" "Oh, Algernon, I'm afraid for you. Father threatens to kick you into the middle of next week." "Well, my dear, if he insists, let him do it. But hold next Wednesday evening open for me."
