MR. CHUPES AND MISS JENNY 



story of my interesting little pets should en- 

 gage your attention to the extent of filling 

 you with the desire to own a Chupes or a 

 Jenny, that I emphasize these very im- 

 portant points. 



The possession of pets under such cir- 

 cumstances as I describe means " eternal 

 vigilance " as far as their natural enemies 

 are concerned, and a constant watchfulness 

 against the dangers induced by unnatural 

 conditions. Take, for instance, the fact 

 that the tops of open doors were favorite 

 perching places of Chupes' and Jenny's. 

 Think What might have resulted from a mo- 

 ment's carelessness in the matter of one 

 left to swing! This is a single instance, 

 chosen, at random, from hundreds, of the 

 risks to Which these helpless little creatures 

 were subjected. 



Now carry out the line of thought with 

 regard to food preparation and administra-
