to anything under the sun. They are
her fad, and she well deserves the name !
of bringer out of debutantes.
She says she likes to have them around |
her and acknowledges that her only sor-
row is that she has no daughters. Many |
a girl from the Pacific slope owes brill !
liant winter in Washington to Mrs. Hearst,
and, of truth, they tell it that many
girl owes brilliant marriage to her, too.
Mrs. Spooner. of Wisconsin, is bright,
humor loving woman, with whom it Is
pleasure to talk. She has the same fad
as Mrs. Clarkson-that of doing dozen
things to keep up with her husband. One
thing she has never allowed to drop, and
that is the practice Of music. Her voice
is pure mezzo soprano, and she Is the
vocalist of the senatorial circle.
Countless women here make pugs,
mastiffs and poodles their fad. There Is
no city where so many ours need not go
afoot. They are either slowed under
their mistresses' arms or have seat in
their carriages. By all odds the wife of
ex-senator Palmer, of Michigan, had the
most blooded dogs of any of the fanciers
of CANNES. She especially likes tiny
French spaniels and terriers, and she had
2 pair imported from France here last
winter that could be squeezed into fin
ger bowl.
Think of dog with maid! But that
is what her pets had; the prettlest blue
eyed lass in Washington used 70 walk
out from 9 to II every bright morning
with retinue of yelping, frisking pup
pies.
Senator Palmer was just as fond OF
them as his wife, and he used to spend
hours teaching them tricks.
Many registered practitioner here has
been called upon to treat Mrs. Palmers
dogs for wheeze or distemper. When
her husband went to Spain last summer
as United States minister, she took the
dogs and their maid
The Patten sisters are also famed for
their love of dogs. Their tasteruns to i'm
mense mastiffs, and they rarely walk the
capital streets without these attendants.
The married sister, Mrs. Glover, wife OF
the former congressman from st. Louis,
has liking for pugs as well as mastiffs,
She tells the story on herself Of how she
and Mrs. Lloyd Brice, who is also a
lover of dogs, were fondling perfectly
ugly pugs one reception day when two
women she had never known came in
the room,
When they rose to go one of them
said, CURLY; Il should think, ladies, you
had better have your babies in your arms
than those pugs."
One of Mrs. Glovers pug dogs is ex-
tremely valuable, and she takes 1t every
where with her This summer she had
it at high priced hotel, and Monsieur
Pug's bill was $40 per week.
Miss Letter, the heiress and beauty, is
Just the proper thing when she walks
Connecticut avenue OF morning with a
mastiff hound which is almost half her
height.
1t is a fine animal, and 1000 would
not be purchase money for 1t.
A kennel as large as the proverblal
one assigned to honeymoon was built
year ago for Miss Testers pet, and IN 1t
there are two compartments, and bal
conv where the hound can go and bay at
the moon during the long watches OF the
} night.

wealthy women, but there is one here
