Manifested in Canine Coiiars-Gems of
Artistic skil-Dogs of the Various
Ciiies-A Dogs Dress.
In 1879 there was not over $1,000 in
vested in the United States in dog collars,
while to-day over $500, 900 is annually ex-
pended in this line of canine adornment.
Many a dog belonging to a Boston or New
York dude or dudlne possesses n collar
which costs more than the entire ward
robe of many n man or woman of respecta-
bic social standing, and ii is said that once
a New York gentleman sent n dog collar
worth $4,000 to a young lady whom he
fancied rather than her dog. The collar
was made OF gold and ornate with dia-
monds, rubies and garnets. so is con
sidered a not e~xtravagant sum in these
fashionable cities to be expended on their
favorites, or rather 500 is quite an ordin-
AIRY sun. to ray for a dog collar. There is
ms much fashion in a dog collar as there is
in the cut Of a coat, for each breed of dog
has n different collar to suit his particular
line of beauty or the color of his hair.
GEN OF ARTISTIC SKILL
There are collars which are gems of
artistic skill, then there are other collar
which almost strike awe into the beholder
from their warlike aspect; then again
there are silk, velvet, satin and feather
collars decorated with bells aud bangles.
In the cities of Philadelphia and New
York the bangle collar IL extremely fash
ionable, and IL is considered quite a mark
OF honor for n young lady to ask her gem
tleman friends for their monographs or a
new s. piece TO attach 1t to their logs

is now spending l 5000 in dog collars and
it is estimated that within the next five
years this city will more than double that
amount. Philadelphia stands high in the
estimation OF dog men, but there the dogs
patronized are OF the smaller breeds. In
MINNEAPOLIS The dog men find a c%ongenial
city. 1t is simply overran with dogs-curs
and good dogs-and the popularity OF the
townspeople Of Minneapolis is that they
all want their dogs collared. Chicago,
too, shows well. spending n great deal OF
money IN dogs and on their collars. The
people of st. Louis are 10th to part with
dollars for dogs and much less so for col
lars, while Denver, for its small size, Is
mentioned in terms OF respectful admira-
ton. Kansas City, Mo. is liberal in
purchase, and 1t is expected that within IA
few wears there will be larger purchases
there han in St. Louis. Tit cities which
spend most in dogs and dog collars are in
this order: Boston, PHILADELPHIA. New
York, Chicago. San Francisco, st. Louis,
Cincinnati and Hartford. But fashion
springs in New York. from New York
come the rules which govern the style, for
New York are especially manufactured
the lutest novelties.
