Show HAD THE "THEODORA" ODOR Fancy French Pets Saturated With Unwelcome Un-welcome Perfume of Marshal Foch's American Mascot. Fifty thousand francs' worth of pet dogs were temporarily ruined by Marshal Mar-shal Foch's wild cat on the voyage to France. When the marshal, as guest of the American Legion, had picked up Theodora from an admiring friend, he had little reckoned what devastation devasta-tion was in store. Theodora was placed in the kennel room atop the liner Purls, under care of the ship's butcher, who acted as animal valot for the trip. Believing that the fluffy Pekinese, and poodles, and Mexican hnirlesses that shared her compartment did not represent, like herself, the true red-blooded pioneering pi-oneering spirit of America, Theodora lay quietly in her cell iJnd exuded the aroma peculiar to wildcats. When the Paris touched the shores of France, the valet handed the pet dogs around to the group of daintily-scented mad-amoiselles mad-amoiselles and was greeted with loud shrieks. |
