M RS. DUGrON GILES, an English wo-
wv man living about tnlrty-five miles
out OF London, Is an expert in dogs.
So great Is her reputation in this way that
she mas been invited to act rs one of the
judges at the forthcoming bench show Of
the New York City Kennel club. Her home
is called Radnage. and here she always has
about 100 dogs In her Observation-Disclosures
beagles Italian greyhounds. whippets and
terriers.
II am intensely interested in sport and
prefer these breeds because they can hunt
and rum" explained Mrs. Giles. II have
had Radnage three ayers. The farmhouse
has been made over into a manor house.
There are avJ acres. 1t is an arabic country
and very hilly. The house is on hill IS
feet above st. Paul's cross and far from
neighbors, who would only be disturbed by
the barking. I invited the Bloodhound as
ISOLATION to hold ITS trials on my place. and
the consequence was that took to keeping
bloodhounds myself"
The newest idea for engaged girls is the
wedding chest. and even girls who are not
engaged are the secret possessors of tins
sentimental and at the same time sensible
article. The wedding chest may be a
trunk a fine new trunk of latest style. or
1t may be fine cedar chest or of carved
wood. all prcttily Ornamented or 1t may
be a plain wooden affair. prettily covered
and lined with lowered chintz. Some of
the handsomest chests are lined with
quilted. scented satin. but sachet bags can
be put in any of them for that matter. The
idea is to fill the chest with pretty things
to wear or for the furnishing and decora-
ton of a home. One girl Is filling hers
with dainty lingerie. which she Is making
herself; another is buying things from time
to time and filling her chest wiz them.
Not alone things to wear. such as gloves,
lingerie and dainty hosiery, but pieces of
lace, tapestry. squares for covering sofa
pillows or handsome table covers.
While Martha Washington is the only

cation elsewhere. Strange as 1t may seem,

Miss Amelia A. Bar tells the readers OF

are much more contemplate and useless IN

never uescends to such depths of ennui and

about on club sofas or who wdaddle discon-
tentedly at afternoon teas. An old maiO
may be troublesome in church business OF
particular in household affairs. bu. 1t takes
an old bachelor to quarrel with walters and
grumbe everyone insane about his dinner
menu. The unmarried woman is becoming
every year more Self-reliant and more re-
spectacle and respected. and the unmarried
man more effeminate and contemplate We

bachelors over 40 years of age in certain

be advised to have their own clubs ana
