"One would expect such a speech iroin you, wouldn't one?'' asked the j Malayan Civet-Cat. "One might. I do not know/* said ! the Civet-Cat. "Of course," he added, "you are like J me and your family is like my family j and our families are like each other ! and all the rest of it but still I am glad j I am not you. "I am glad you aren't too," said the ! Malayan Civet-C^t, "for if you were, j you would always be sorry you were j and that would be most mixing and j upsetting. "Of course you can't help but admit that I have large spots and that they fire actually larger than yours. "I have a stronger looking body and I ain stronger too." "You aren't as fine as I am." said the Civet-Cat. "I am not too strong for that would make me a little toughened and not so refined as I now am. "I have large spots and my whole body is beautifully marked. I have a fine ring-streaked tail too. "I belong to the wildcat family and at the same time I look a little like a skunk. "All creatures wouldn't consider that an honor but I do, for I consider the skunk a very handsome creature. ' And I have an odor which is something like the skunk's. Most creatures wouldn't like that but I do, oh yes. I do. If I didn't I would change my perfume but I do like it. AH CivetCats do." "Yes.'' said Mrs. Civet -<.'-af. "we all do. If we hadn't cared for ;i ; ? nily perfume we wouldn't have uung to _____? . ? "She Speaks the Truth." Jt or allowed it to cling to us all these years. liT^ A ' ~ i.- J ??k ZX ? "Jtsut we ve apprecxtutu u. ix uuiva , have not. But what do we care if they j have the bad taste not to like it? It only shows what they are, or at least what ihey are not. They are not Civet Cats. That much is certain." "I am a Spotted Lynx," said the animal in the next cage in the zoo. "I am beautiful and my spots make me look so dressed up." "Ah. but you haven't any real family perfume such as we have," Mrs. CivetCat remarked. ''She speaks the truth," said Mr. Civet-Cat. "What is more you sound very fine with your name of Spotted Lynx," said Mrs. Civet-Cat, "but you are really nothing more than a wildcat." "I belong to the family," said the Spotted Lynx, "and I admit it. And you also tire of the cat family." "Yes, but so different from you," Mrs. Civet-Cat answered. "There are many different creatures In the zoo." she continued, "who have f.ne sounding names, and who live here in this house, such as the Black Para- j rioxure and the African Ichneumon, a j x-arv Ma/?L* from tho Mttlav I peninsula called the Bear-Cac. or, as fcfe prefers to be called, the Binturong. "There is the Suricate or SlenderTailed Meerkat of South Africa, too. "But they aren't as interesting as wt ere. No. not they. We have simple mimes. Folks know we belong to the great cat family and civet cats are becoming more and more known. "Handsome ladies are wearing us as coats and furs and muffs and as decorations on their hats. "They say that when our fur bi comes damp or when they wear us j out in the wet weather we're espe- j cially generous with our family per j fnmA l.ii r fhpv're not in the least ai> I preciative. They are very lacking in thankfulness. "Still, they do us the honor to woar us as a family and trp us as they j would fox or seal or s 'ling noble | and fine and beautiful " it. "And if we give them _.t per- | fnine \w.> gl\e. it withnnf r\tro charge ! so even if they don't appreciate It they ought to be glad we don't charge them for it."
