"I would hesitate to say that ho wishes to bring the cinema down to the same level of popular ap- peal as that of so many churchas to-day, because that would be rude and unkind, and being a Christian I do try not to be rude and un- kind. Of course, if I were 'very reverend" I might feel differently; I might then join Canon Palmer's

The "Peke" is nowadays by far the most popular of the toy breeds, and the Kennel Club statis. tics show that the number of Peker registered at the Club during the

That this is so is not due merely
to the fact that the little dog from China in highly ornamental. One iways feels that the term "boy" applied to so many varieties of Pallant little dogs doen them los than justice.

He is as good a burglar alarm av dog thrice his size. Many of his kind are as lacon and efficient as any terrier at a little job of ratting, and one of his earliest ad- mirers, Lord John Hay (who was present at the sacking of the Sum mer Palace In Peking in 1860, and brought some of the first speel mens to England) testified to the porting proclivities of some of his Pekes 40 years ago, when he anid that they showed "a good average rapacity at the drag-hunt.".
He is remarkably adept at hurdl ing, too, and anyone who has seen a slow-motion film of a Pekiness taking a hurdle will agree that for sheer beauty of movement this littlo dog is unsurpassed by any other breed. And to show that he can be

Many a Pekinese will foot it with the best of human pedestrians on a fteen mile walk. A great point in their favour is that they are perhaps the longest lived of all breeds. It is not unusual to find a Pake "full of beans" at twenty- and this is equivalent to a hundred and forty years in a humma belag.
