PRETTY LOVE DRAMA.

GIRL, DOG AND CAT. SCENE IN A CEMETERY, Scores of churchgoers stop on t!» promenades at Brighton, England, every Sunday morning, to watch a strange —a little girl and her pet cat and 4?Sr" making their way eagerly through the crowds. They are as unconscious of the attention they are attracting as the crowds are of the pathetic drama of love and devotion in which the trio have figured for the past year. The drama is centred in a dog's cemetery, which lies hidden in a private park at Sussex Square on the sea front.. It is here that the three players arrive at 11 o'clock every Sunday morning, the little girl leading her shaggy-coated mongrel dog on a "piece of string and carrying a black cat in a basket and also a tiny bunch of flowers. " The dog yaps with joy as his mistress opens the park gates and rapidly manes its way among the trees to a wooden cross. It is here that the dog's mother, with whom the trio had romped for hours, lies buried. _ , The girl as she places her tinv bunco of flowers on the grave looks _ enviously at the gravestones of the canine _ aristocrats all around her, bearing such tions as " In loving memory pf a faitniu friend." She is saving her pennies '0 buy a gravestone for her dead pet, too.
