stitched in silver thread, which will be
worn with shallow lace yoke guimpe.
! Heavy stitching adorns the skirt wher-
ever it is possible to introduce it, some
rs rows bordering the hem. On her
head she will wear a black velvet
! Gainsborough hat. With an eye for
effect my friend, 1 dare say, will out
shine the hosts of beautiful women on
dress parade.
So to speak, the dog show is the last
public gathering of the clan before re-
| treats are sought and the real business
| of Lenten diversions begins. There
fore every woman is making mon
| finale.
A gentle beauty attractive alike to
men, women and dogs, is going to
fasc!Eate everybody who meets this
violet symphony. She has selected the
most fashionable spring fabric, cash
mere, and has had it converted into a
skirt somewhat habtlike in form, with
a coat cut in scallops all around the
basque. Pompadour embroidery bands
the close fitting and rolling collar
With it she dons a crush toque swathed
in filmy white tulle brimwise and ar
ranged into saucy choux nOdding from
jetted stems. A white taffeta shirt
waist and a self toned velvet blouse
are to be worn alternately. An edict
from Paris expels the contrasting vel
vet blouse from wardrobes. Shirt
waists and hats to match are February
expressions of style which will be con-
spicuously to the fore at the kennel
exposition.
There has been a revival of interest
in greyhounds. Men who have attend
ed recent coursing meets will be apt to
declare themselves by appearing in
hunting toys. The man in corduroys
and the dog saddled in dun colored
trappiDgs, trophy laden, will be one
pretty picture on view.
The affections Of the public for the
moment are centered upon a new spe-
cies known as the Pomeranian. The
white variety has been frequently seen,
but the new fad is one of color, chOco-
late and black taking precedence. This
new magnet closely resembles the Els
kimo dog, with sharp nose and black
coat, but is much smaller. Another
furore is for diminutiye pups. Breed
ers have learned that women pay more
for pets than men and that their Sc
lectionS indicate a preference for small
specimens.
New York dogs are as carefully
reared as are the children. The fash
ionable wOman's pet is denied no lux
ury. If Sorly Boy is fond of sweets, a
box from the best manufacturers is
kept close at hand, and it is his for the
asking
The dog nurse has come into fash
ion as the latest whim of wealthy own
ers. Madam's maid is no longer re-
garded as Sorly Boys proper GUS
todian to take him for an airing or
brush his satin skin with velvet polish
err Neither does the master of hounds
or monsieur's valet direct the daily CO.
ings of bulldog or collie. A specially
engaged man buys food, plans exercise,
looks after doggie's home affairs and
reports conditions to monsieur. The
babe Of the kennel receives nOurish
ment from a silver mounted nursery
bottle, while the cOnvalescent mother
laps the extracted juice of the finest
porterhcuse steaks the market affords.
The duties of dog nurse are not
onerous, but exacting. Doggie must be
taken for a walk each morning. If the
weather is fair, he strolls again in the
afternoon. Nurse and doggie occupy
an apartment usually at the top of the
house. His down couch is located in
the sunniest part of the room. He has
his own bathtub, above which is hung
metal rack, full of scented soaps
which best agree with his long hair or
smooth skin. When he has finished his
trot along the avenue, he is taken to
see his mistress, who inquiries after the
state of his health, listens with eager
interest to nurses tale of his cute
tricks" or wise antics waving an al
fectionate farewell as he disappears.
The remuneration for dog nurse" is
about that paid for the care of a child,
and the duties are practically the same,
SIS being an average sum. When dog
gle disports himself at the Garden, he'll
be accompanied by keeper, who, will
protest against the familiarity of stran-
gers, guard against drafts and put his
charge to bed at night within the folds
of softest pink hued lambs wool cover
let's. A majority of the improvised dog
houses will be carpeted in hunting
pink. which fad owes its origin to the
Meadow Brook club. Music is not to
be a feature Of the show. as doggie's
pronounced dislike for it is a matter
