The S. S. Rotterdam stood two miles off Nassau in the Bahamas, her captain deciding it was too rough to land. Suddenly a tender came bobbing precariously out through the heavy sea.

Soprano Lily Pons carried a big black bag out of her Manhattan apartment house, handed it to her chauffeur to put on the seat beside him and gave orders to drive to the Bronx Zoo. In the bag was Ita, a pet ocelot* which Mile Pons acquired in Rio de Janeiro two summers ago when it was only a month old and docile enough to pose for photographs. Mile Pons treated it like a Siamese kitten. It slept curled up in the back of her grand piano. When on tour with its mistress it chose the washbasin of the Pullman drawing-room or sometimes the overhead baggage-rack. Only lately had it started clawing the furniture, attacking Mile Pons's secretary, snarling so savagely that strangers were afraid to enter her apartment. In the Zoo where Ita will spend the rest of her days her age was registered as 20 months. "A nice ocelot," commented Keeper Max Landsberry. "It ees not. It ees of jaguar fam-ee-lee," trebled Mile Pons as she proceeded to dab her hand with iodine where Ita had scratched her when she had taken the creature from the bag. Keeper Landsberry hurried Ita into quarantine to make sure she had no worms. Quarantine meant only Ellis Island to Mile Pons and she felt hurt. Before leavng the Zoo* she told Keeper Landsberry how Ita should have her broth, her meat, her vegetables. Next day she telephoned the Zoo to see how Ita had passed the night. Estrangement of the Alexis Mdivanis was reported when the round-the-world trip of the onetime Barbara Hutton and her Georgian "prince" reached Hongkong. Stall hay in a public stable at Belmont, L.
