How I know that neither definition Is entirely wrong. A cow ruminates when B chews Its end (having chewed It before), nd a man ruminates when he thews sa Ides upon which be has chewed before. In soms ways however, cows snd men differ. In fact, cows even differ In some respects from women, although all three creatures man. woman and cow are mammals, the highest form, of vertebrate, those, which (the authorities inform me) nurse their young with milk. Just how man get Into this category s a little beyorfl me, but that is what the scientist Says, and I am willing to strain my credulity a little. After 11, I suppose that my father, who 1 drank paid tor the milk which when I got to I could take it out of glass, nourished me in s manner of speaking. We wlU let It go at that, although It seems to me that a little of what might man assumes be criticized s tb gland manner of speaking when be tries to get more than a grade B rating as a mammal. But to return to the differences between cows on the one hand, and men snd women on the other (and 1 think no one win contradict me when 1 say there ARE differences : One thing a cow cannot do that a man can, is blow its own horn. And as ws know from listening to the soap operas. It is easier to make a woman slip than to make a cowslip. Now what has a cow got that yea and I haven't? Answer: Cattle are closely related to the buffalo, the bison and the yk. I defy any genealogist to produee a bison, a buffalo and a yak la one bnman family tree. On the other hand, - hr the branches of a eow'a family tree, there are ao monkeys. In some ways the cow has superior abilities. For Instance, I have seen a eow roll oVer without spilling a drop of milk, which is more than any man, carrying a similar amount of Jnctcal fluid, could do. Philologlcaily, the cow seems to have somewhat of an edge on man, at least tor those who believe in the capitalistic system. The Laf!n word for cattle (as of course you know if you Just looked It up as I did) ts And the word pecuniary peeus. Is derived from that, and the words cattle, chattel and- capital are to each other what cow itself is to buf' falo, bison and yak. breeds of cattle, 1 All present-daam authoritatively informed, are descended from the two types, large and amall, known in prehistoric times in Europe. However, in recent time, (and now we are getting down to what started me ruminating), something new has been added. We now have developed what hot might be laughingly called cows" and cold cows." y hot" are the Brahmas which have been insinuated into our own American strains to Inure them to our southern latitudes and for other purposes. As you know, Brahma cattle are knowh by their humps. A braw Brahma has a large hump just d the others abaft the shoulders, of lesser rank have smaller humps getting down to something not much larger than a fever blister. The cold" cow is quite a different thing. As rrrght be expected, it comes from Russia where they invented the cold war, the cold shoulder and the common or Siberian cold, which ts used to correct false ideologies, longevity and monopolistic capitalism.

A citizen of the U.S.S.R. doesn't need the armuffs because he is only allowed to listen to what the government thinks is good for him, and if his ears freeze it's ail right with the censor. The results of the chilling process on calves appear remarkable, but not for a moment would I doubt the veracity of the writer despite my early experience with erroneous Information concerning cows. The other type of ruminant upon which these ruminations are based Is illustrated in these columns. The Old Order Iloic It Passeth After the grey winter days New Hampshire avenue almost sparkles these spring mornings. The elm buds are spreading and the shadows of trunk and limb make sharp patterns on the wide expanse of the huge Belmont house.

I suppose there will be few such palaces ouilt in Washington any more one after another. they are being torn down. The Leiter house on Dupont Circle Is gone and a family hotel is rising in its place. - Many other mansions, too big for embassies even, served as boarding houses for war workers and now they are empty and for sale. One huge house which I pass occasionally is opened when the third generation, which still retains some of the original fortune, comes to for a wedding or a Washington party. After that the house is sealed up again, the burglar alarms are attached and the old residence goes back to dreaming of the past. A part of this section of Washis being ington Dupont Circle sealed off for a year while the roadbuilders burrow under the grassy park to make an underpass for trolley cars and automobiles.

"There is no real fault to be found with them, but George has been brought up among different people and It breaks my heart to think of him getting absorbed by them." I own my own lovely little Spanish cottage outside of Glendale, the letter goes on. Everything in this house is done with Georges comfort in mind. But when he is married, they plan to live with her mother, paying her board and having their meals, of course, with the rest of the boarders. I cannot see how this arrangement possibly can succeed. My feeling is so strong against it that I have begged George to postpone his marriage until they can find a suitable apartment but, for the first time in his life, he seems entirely indifferent to my but not refined. Louises wishes. HavHostile Attitude "Naturally thi$ does not make me feel very friendly toward Louise. She could easily persuade him to wait. I have not met her family, but she has dined with me several times and I do not dislike the girl. However, I feel she is an utterly unsuitable wife for George. To start marriage in a crowded boarding house with her two small children as a responsibility is to doom the marriage from the first. Apart from my own heartbreaking loneliness I will have the agony of seeing that he is miserable. I could threaten him with disina theatrical heritance but that-i- s attitude that I hate to make. He is He knows it and I my am convinced that he is taking advantage of it. Please advise me about putting all this to the girl or telling George that his hasty marriage will put a barrier between us that may take years to break down.
