LIVING LIZARD AS “BROOCH”
WOMAN’S ORNAMENT LONDON, May 4. “Living ornaments may become a temporary craze as the result of a large front-page close-up photograph in the “Daily Mirror” of a fashionab-ly-dressed, middle-aged woman~ln a London restaurant drinking a cup of tea, with a live lizard, a gold collar
round its neck, attached by a fine chain to the lapel of her suit. “I suddenly realised how smart little Bill would look,” she said. “I put a chain round him and sat him on my blouse. Lizards sit dead still for hours. There is no suggestion of cruelty. A spoonful of water or tea keeps them going for a day. They are affectionate and like human company. Mine is disappointed if Ido not take him about. He smiles at me if I whistle.”
