The two of them, litter mates, enjoy hunting chip munks and rats, although Mrs. Powell reports that their chimpunk bagging is a little off from last year; either the chipmunks are getting faster or the calico sisters are getting slower. One night around eleven o’clock, Mrs. Powell was awakened by a combination of pawing and meowing at the back door. Concerned by the apparent urgency, she got out of her bed to see what the matter was. At the door she found Beulah with a rat She simply wanted to show her mistress her catch and to Carroll Cos.

A pencil holder, usually filled with pencils, in the Powell house, holds a particular fascina tion for Beulah. She can’t resist the urge to dump it over and to play with the pencils. Mr. Powell says that they are constantly finding pencils throughout the house, under the rugs and behind the furniture.

The ladies, both beautifully tri-colored with hues of gold, black and white, are partial to Puss n’ Boots and Meow Mix at meals or snack times. Though they now enjoy a peaceful and sublime life in the country, the calico dames had city origins —very precarious origins.

Wesley, a sensible fellow in most respects, was suddenly flabbergasted and surprised when the garbage responded to his dumping with a number of shrilled meows. A cat lover of old, Wesley, after recovering from the initial shock brought on by what he took to be meowing garbage, immediately res cued the abandoned and frightened twosome from the maze of refuse and took them into his home. Later, he delivered them to his parents where he was sure that they would receive adequate love and attention.
