Among the many caprices Of Fashion, not tho
least Whimsical are those in which she INDUCES
regarding our household pets. Her authority is
quite as supreme in this respect as in our per-
sonal adornings, and, though the changes may
not be as frequent, they are fully as important.
The fashionable dog, cat, bird, or flower is quite
as necessary adjunct to fashionable lady's
surroundings as are her gloves, 1aces, OF bijou-
terie; and what YES coanae il jaut yesterday
may be decidedly maEuais ton to-day. Especial

mony, or dying Of it's OWL inanity. Ad interim,
hounds and game-dogs will be chiefly tho
property Of those who make shooting and hunt
