...have always been a cat fancier, and pride myself on knowing a good deal about them, and contrary to general opinion cats are very delicate and especially susceptible to colds and pneumonia, and should never even in the warmest weather be bathed in the open air, or exposed to any draft while the least bit wet. So many of them surfer severe aftereffects, as well as torture from extreme fright, which cats who are not accustomed to water always have of being put in it. Give 15 minutes excitement at a County Fair, and set a bad example of animal...

A liberal himself (he supported Cox and Davis because of the League issue, voted for Hoover last fall), he has in his immediate family almost every shade of liberal opinion. His eldest son (Thomas S.) is now, at 31, a Morgan partner, is far more conservative than Corliss, who voted for Smith and now teaches Philosophy at Columbia University. And while Mr. Lamont has received many an honorary degree, it was Mrs. Lamont who, after raising four children, earned...
