RECEPTION COSTUMES FOR TERRIERS AND CAR
RAGE DRESSES FOR PUGs.

''Do you know" said little girl to a
Journal reporter, THAT have eight cos
tunes for my little terrier Phnnie and he
looks real pretty in all of them?"
why. what in the world do you want with
| so many and what do you mean by costumes
for dogf" asked the astonished reporter.
Every girl that has a dog has costumes
for them," said the little girl in an injured
tone, land costumes means dress. thought
you were big enough to know that"
''Oh," said the reporter; "wont you de-
scribe the costume to me?"
Certainly" said the little girl. Ellis best
one for Sunday afternoon walks is made Of
| navy-blue broadcloth, lined with scarlet
satin, with straps of alligator skin and bows
of crimson Ottoman ribbon-you know he
wears bow on his tail and q collarette ban
gle of silver, with new five cent piece charms.
On some of them are his name, on others a
prayer or hymn. Then if it is nice and clean
out tie bows of scarlet ribbon on his trout
paws, but he isn't exactly trained good and
he bites them. Well. then he has his recep-
ton costume that he wears on mammas re-
ception days, when he sits in the drawing
room and helps to receive the guests. That
is perfectly lovely. 1t is made out Of
a piece of my sisters wedding dress, cream
white satin, and is lined with
pale blue silk. The edges are embroidered
in silver and in the centre is my monogram in
silver also. l had a train made on it first, but
Phinnie would make himself dizzy turning
round and round to catch it. So had it re-
moved. As ornaments he wears gold chain
with clasp and pale blue ribbons on his
front paws"
''He must look lovely !" said the reporter.
''Does he catch rats?"
"How can you be so cruel as to mention
such a thing?" said the little girl.
"You must have the handsomest dressed
dog in the city," said the reporter.
"No. l haven't" she said reluctantly.
"There's young lady across the way who
has a sealskin wrap for her spaniel, and
know another one that has n diamond collar
ooh, forgot to ask-does your dog paint
and powder?" asked the journalist
"Well, l never?' said the little girl, in
accents of astonishment.-Nec York Norm
