After doggie has blinked oper his
sleepy eyes In the morning his mistress
maid takes him In hand, He Ii carried
20 the bathroom, where his little bath
tub is filled with warm water, deleate-
ly scented, and into that he Is plunged
for brisk wash with brush and sponge
and soap. After the bath he is dried on
his own special towel Of damask, ample
In dimension and soft In texture. When
dried, he Is rubbed with bay rum. His
little teeth are scrubbed and his hair Is
eombed and brushed with his own spe-
clal toilet utensils, Painting, but fresh
and shining, his collar for the day Is
clasped about his neck and, wrapped in

stout ribbon bands clasped by jeweled
buckles. A handsome chain Is attached
10 his collar, which Is changed for the
