bad the least trouble in obtaining

they sent their tickets to the New Or

Jewcled Dog Collars.

The ultra fashionable young woman
who still clings to her dog is having the
silver collar made to duplicate exactly her
favorite bangle. The plain leather bands
and those studded with metal are hope
lessly old fashioned; chains have gone
out, beaten into bracelet designs, and
solid silver is the only sort of neckwear
in which self respecting dog will allow
himself to appear. Some of these new
collars are wonderfully rich and costly.
One, the property of luxurious King
Charles spaniel, cost his mistress consid-
erably over 800. 1t was fully an inch
wide, and as thick as the animals COM
fort would allow.
The entire surface was richly engraved
with court scene from the reign of
Charles ii. The work was fine and ar
tistic, and on either edge of this superb
collar line of tiny turquoises was set
deep in silver. If the young woman af-
fects cats she has the silversmith make
six or eight light silver hoops, some cut
and Others plain, and these bright rings
he YIELDS around pussy's furry neck. A
beautiful pet Angora. which lies on a
cushion and feeds upon cream, wears
fine cut silver hoops that sparkle like
jewels every time she moves. -Manufac-
