From the Westminster Gazette.
There seem to be some 5000 or 5000
persons in Paris who are determined to
make the canine race go to the dogs az
speedily as unreasonable pampering can
send them there This number of social
ed lovers Of dogs Is, according TO an arti-
Gle in Good Words, inscribed on the books
of the Partisan dog-tailors. One OF the
tailors took the writer, of the article In
his confidence, saying:

bride entered the residence after the cere-
mony. her three dogs we're awaiting her

One does not quite know whether pity
for the dogs thus tortured. or contempt
for the owners who bend their minds "a
such doings, is the predominant feeling
aroused a these facts.
