"Pets Parade"

DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS,— » " "TpWO prizes, valued at one guinea each, for the moat attractive pet and the most affectionate dog." I think that is one of the most interesting announcements I have ever read in connection -with a children's pets parade. It will certainly be one of the chief attractions at the children's carnival of the Junior League of the S.P.C.A., which is to be held this afternoon in Carlaw Park. There will be pets of every description, furred and feathered, and, although one may not venture to predict what bird or beastie will be judged the most attractive, it is perfectly certain that the " most affectionate dog " contest will include large dogs, small dogs, tall and short dogs, fat and thin dogs, in fact, every kind of named dog and—just dog I If possible, we will show you the prize-winners in our page next Saturday. So that will be something for all our animal-lovers to look forward to! And if any of you care to write me a description of the prize-winners,, that will be all the better, but don't forget—it will have to be posted not later than Monday night! No room for more to-day, because I want to use up some more of the splendid holiday entries sent in for our recent competition. These will be printed as space permits, and will remind you for weeks to come of the happy holidays m . // that are now a thing of the past. Love and best wishes to you all from your friend, f
