The Old-Fashioned Mouse meets some Bright Young Rodents by L

A surprised brown mouse finds a group of luridly coloured mice eating his cheese and candle. The caption reads:'At a recent show of fancy mice, over seventy varieties of pet rodents were exhibited. Their colours ranged from red, white, silver and tan and black and tan, to a definite blue, and if by any chance an ordinary mouse had peeped out of his hole at this company of Bright, Young Rodents he would have got the shock of his life and wondered if there were any really nice mice left in the fashionable world
