But the latest fad among fashionable
women and those who are not so fash
ionable is to have a coat made for her pet
dog of the same cloth and trimming as
her newest winter coat or gown. And for
the accommodation of these canine eX-
quisites the fine tailoring establishments
have to save out a piece of the specially
woven goods from which their rich patron
has ordered tailor-made coat, no matter
what the cost.
1t must be perfectly fitted to dear
doggie's figure, just as particularly as her
own is fitted, and the braidng is done in
the exact pattern to match the costume

hesitatingly said that such orders had
been placed with him, but he would in
