A ,.DoE Modiste" In Paris.

Lovers Of pet dogs will be interested
in the visit of an American lady to the
store of 'dog modiste" in Paris. The
sights were very amusing. The place
was not so much store as an establish
ment, with halls and rooms richly fur
nished. Ladies tripped in and out all
day long, most of the visitors having
with them pugs or terriers. The pet
dogs were scattered through the rooms,
each awaiting it's turn. Many small
mats and rugs were around the
waXed floors, and every bit of carpeting
of the kind was occupied by some pretty
little creature. These dogs have va
rious dresses. The robe used in the
morning is q garment of dark blue
cloth. 1t is called paletot, and is
lined with red flannel. From leather
collar little bells jingle as its wearer
walks along. Sometimes a bunch of
violets is fastened on the left shoulder
Of dog. On very cold days the pet is
clad in sealskin of the same pattern, the
collar being of fur, mounted in silver.

A Divided Town

The town of Texarkana is on the line
between Texas and Arkansas, with a
street-car track dividing the two. This
was thought to be very funny at first,
but now it has to have two sets of citv
officers, has lost the county seat and
criminals escape from one state to
another by going six feet. The man
who staked out the town is dead, how
ever, and nothing can be done.
