kitchen" When their meal-time Is
over, and they are no longer upon In
spection, they return to their own
separate kennels in answer to the
call which the hound master gives,
and are in separate barns once
more,
All of the dogs are admirably
trained and when they are placed on
sale, as becomes necessary once in
awhile when their numbers becomes
too great, they are eagerly bought by
hunters and dog seekers who wish
something very intelligent in the dog
species. The pugs, of which there are
many, are specially intelligent for that
breed-usually considered so hard to
teach-and they have deservedly be-
come the pet dogs of English royalty.
The pup that disports himself about
the morning rooms of the queen is
said to understand all ordinary dog
commands In three languages, Ger
man, French and English.
When the princess of Wales goes
out TO the dog kitchen to feed her
dogs, she wears a big apron of white
muslin or of light dotted stuff. The
apron is plainly made, except for a
few tucks, and neat bib; and is big
enough to keep a gown from all harm.
As the 'princess always wears a tight
fitting black dress In the house, the
apron strings are tied around as neat
waist as can be found in England.
These aprons, by the way, are part
or the present which the princess gets
every year from the sales and bazars
which she opens. And they are also
from the fairs which she helps sup
port by buying generously of their
stock and so adding not only patron
age, but real money also.
A soft felt hat and pair of dog
skin gloves complete the outfit which
would not seem dressy for the wife of
gentleman farmer, and which any
lady with country home might well
initiate.
In the basket which the princess
carries there are pieces of stale bread
broken into catching" size for dog
gie's mouth, and scraps of cake and
bits of sweets. Nothing very rich ever
goes in the dogs basket; for IL is the
pride of the master of the kennel that
he keeps his charges in good health:
aud that at the annual dog shows
