ID and Regular Prizes-Cnps From
Minionaires - Women Who Exhibit.
Women have not beer very lucky In
promoting dog shows in this city. but now
their luck seems about TO change. II Is
mainly because the coming show IL by a
national organization that bright hopes
are entertained for a change OF luck, for
before this the ventures Of the women were
only local affairs with a limited classifica-
ton; and, although carried out with much
pluck and well managed. were utterly
barren Of national importance. Then the
American Pet Dog Club held the shows.
but now the sponsor Is the Ladies' Kennel
Association Of America, and the show will
be It's initial attempt. This is a union on
national lines. the ultimate idea being TO
have a branch In every State. II Is on
the lines OF the English La lies kennel
Association, but, unlike that body. did not
como into existence TO right any abuses
perpetrated against women exhibitors on
the bench show circuit. Instead, the
Ladies' Kennel Association Is backed up
BY the American Kennel Club, the West
minister Kennel Club and all the regular
organizations OF exhibitors. In fact. our
men could not refuse a sanction IL they
would, for their sisters, cousins and aunts'
are In command and may demand allie
glance.
The show will be held In Madison Square
Garden on Dec. IS, 10. 20 n 81. Society
n taking a keen interest In teab coming
event, which, as 1t just precedes the Christ
mas holidays, will afford many opportu-
mites for meetings and small talk at the
time when every one Is busting about.
Who knows how many dogs will be bought
for Christmas giftsi The women at the
head OF the committees have a well-estab-
lished place in society, but they vow that
this IL not to be alone an occasion Of fashion
and ~frivolity. Yet, while they say Danish
the thought. society only laughs In It's
sloeve. The truth u that where such
charming women lead society will follow
bbndly, whether the occasion be a show
Of horses, dogs, flowers or feathered pets.
