he did not have his things made AZ the
renowned dog tailor, Dedouble. The
trousSeau of a dog varies according to
the race to which he belongs; 1t is COM
posed of shirts, vests, coats, artistic
collars and the variety of ornaments to
be put on them, bracelets, leashes and
flower boutonnieres. Their livery cor
responds with that of the house. Their
articles Of toilet comprise a whole col
lection Of combs, brushes, scissors, and
shears; some whose paws are delicate
have rubber boots. The wife of Gen.
Turr had a hood made for Niniche, a
Havana pup, whose ears are so delicate
that it makes the thing nervous to have
rain drops fall on them when caught in
a storm.
These dogs have their special profess
sional men, such as bathers, hairdresSers,
shearers and doctors, who daily come
to attend TO their wants. | really think
1t necessary for an English philologist
to coin a name for such fine animals; |
feel as if 1 were insulting them to call
them dogs. The poodle is of the kind
which demands the most care. The
Marquise Belhoeuf, Duke de Moneys
sister, has a passion Tor poodles. Not
finding a shearer to suit her in France,
she induced an artist, a specialist in the
shearer business, to leave Spain. his
native country, to attend to her many
poOdles. To be specially adored the
dog must be gigantic or lilliputian, it
does not matter so much as to its kind;
however the favorite mes re the
Danish, the black and white poodles,
the griffon and the terrier; the bull dog
has been taken into favor since the
princess of Orleans have adopted him.
Nero is one of the most noted dogs in
the capital; he belonged to the Gar
Alexander II, and is now under the
care of that emperor's morganatic wife,
the Princess Jouriewsky. He drives ut
the Bots every day with his mistress,
his long, silky, black hair is admired by
every one who takes time to notice dogs,
he refuses to sleep anywhere but in his
mistress bedroom. Don Francois
d'Assisi's favorite dog is a white fox
terrier. When he desires to pay a par
ticuIar favor to one of his lady friends
of noble birth, he sends her a young
terrier accompanied with its whole
trousseau; at first, he takes it to a fash

fit made, after which he orders a dog
house, which, in its sumptuousness of
rich, satin upholstery, lace, gold and
silver concentrations, deserves the
name of palace. He thus presented the
Iufanta Eulalie with a white Danish
dog of untold value, whose collar was
of silver, set in real pearls.
Nine. Maurice Ephrussi, nee Roths-
child, the day of her marriage, had her
favorite terrier dressed in white satin,
with garlands of orange blossoms. The
whole of the Rothschild family are pos
seSsed of the pass on for dogs. The
baron and baroness had two different
houses built for their canine specimens,
who seemed to have declared war with
each other. The baroness has a whole
family of marvellous terriers. Rigalo
is the gentleman, Beauty the lady; the
lady possesses the good graces of her
mistress to the detriment of her has
band; she travels with her, herLtFetas-
seauX are made of finer materials, and
afterward the gentleman dogs jealousy
is excited by being deprived of the much
coveted Rothschild coat of arms, which
his wife wears embroidered in relief in
one of the corners of her coat. The
Baroness Nathaniel Rothschild has all
of her dogs wear the white and yellow
colors of her livery. When the wife of
Gen. Turf takes her dogs out on a
yachting expedition they wear dark, blue
coats with marine collars, anchors en-
broidered in the corners and paraphed
with the mistress name.
The rarest of all Paris dogs is proba-
bly, the one Nine. Theo brought back
from America. Pistache was given to
its mistress in a bouquet of roses, at
her last performance in Mexico. 1t be-
longs to a race of dogs which is almost
extinct, the Chiwawas; they "a only be
found IN the summit of a mountain in
Mexico, on the day of public markets.
One of her great admirers scaled the
mountain to bring the dog-loving act
ress that marvel among dogs. 1t is to
be hoped American ome are far too
sensible to initiate the Frenchwoman in
her inordinate love for dogs. l have
heard strange stories OF American wo-
mems passion for pets, that turtles, liz
yards, chameleons were taken to the
opera by their admiring mistresses. l
consider that a vile, eliminating false
hood, for l deem the American woman
as the n having the most good sense
of her race, capable only of occupying
her time in useful work, instead of kill
ing it by caressing things that are too
beastly to return her affection.
