Canine Wants Provided For.

There is in Paris a great estab.
lishment where one can buy every
thing necessary for the modern
treatment of the most pampered
and aristocratic bit of dog flesh in
the world. Here you will find not
only every article used in the toilet
and feeding of the pet, but a dozen
men and women who do nothing in
the world but make wearing apparel
for dogs.
A dog which belongs in a wealthy
family is taken to this establish
ment and treated with all the con-
sideration shown to their masters
and mistresses of the highest rank.
There are rooms arranged especially
for the comfort of the various types
and sizes of CANNES. In these
rooms they sometimes spend day
or more while their wardrobes are
being planned and the costumes
fitted. A lady of wealthy French
family, the Marquise de Dodorot,
recently took several of her pets to
this dog furnishing house and ex-
pended more that $500 in an out
fit for her animal friends.-Phila-
delphia Press.

The marriage of Cornelius Jr. to

report the parents of the couple
have como to an understanding,

prospective nuptials for a year, by

the manufacture of ordnance in
