govern4ses, drive out and dine alone, are
never seen in the drawing room, while Nero
and Finette are ever at their fond mistress
side; they have their privileged corner or seat
in the reception rooms; after the mistress,
they are the ones next saluted by callers and
guests; the best It'd bits Of a sumptuous table
are given to Gyp and Mopps; in their best
bib and tucker they are driven in madame's
carriage, in which the best places are reserved
for their dogship At the present day the
aristocracy of dogs is as well defined as the
aristocracy of their masters, and dog brain is
not SO dull as to be oblivious to the great dis

the kind which demands the most care. The
Marquise Belhoeuf, Duke de Morny's sister,

artist, a specialist in the shearing business, to
leave Spain, his native country, to attend to
her many poodes. To be specially adored

he orders a dog house, which, in its sumptu-
BUSINESS of rich, satin upholstery, lace, gold
