DRAUGHT DOGS OF HOLLAND
Belgian Mastiffs Raised to Do the
Work of Donkeys Among
the Dutch.

In Holland and Belgium the dog &C.
cupies the place which the donkey does
in several other countries. In the for
mer the sight of couple of dogs drag
cling along pushcart loaded with veg
etables, flowers or shining milk cans fs
a familiar one, says the New York Trib-
une They trot along underneath the
cart, within easy reach of the blunt toe
of the sabot of the woman who walks
behind it to guide it by the handles
attached at that point. In Belgium the
dogs are hitched in front, as the Rus
slams attach their horses to their dros-
kies, three abreast, and are guided by
pair of rope reinS fastened to a muzzle
about the nose of the dog in the mid
die Recently the National Cart Dog
association, organized to regenerate the
original race of Belgian mastiffs, held
it's first exhibition of cart dogs. The
Flemish breeders have found that in
crossing the Belgian mastiffs with the
Great Danes, with the idea of increas-
ing the size of the cart dogs, and so Sc
curing additional strength, they made
a mistake The result proved to be an
finals with weak headquarters and dis
proportionate limbs. Now they are en-
deavoring to revive the original stock.
The women and dogs of these two lit
tie countries are another evidence that
human and canine nature are the same
the world over When one sees the
uninterrupted Belgian milk-woman
with her dogs standing near we'll, the
woman having battered can slung on
her forearm, one instinctively becomes
suspicious. The suspicion is confirmed
when one discovers policeman detain-
ing at the roadside pair of sulky-faced
milkmaids, with their dog team and cart
laden with slender-necked milk cans,
while he jots their names in his little
book against charge of watering milk.
When the cart comes to standstill the
dogs are no longer draught animals, but
dogs. They sit or lie complacently
down and loll their tongues from their
open mouths. Apparently they have
forgotten that they are animals intended
for human companionship, but con-
demned to hard labor for life.

so much frou-frou and elaboration is
unsuited to practical garments.
And now to return to more summary
garments which have been much in
evidence of late. A certain comtesse
Of renown is evidently possessed of
several tunics of beautiful lace, for
they have appeared on different occa-
sions: one, over the most beautiful
soft white satin messaline, seems to
be of finest Mechlin, and has under
sleeves and slightly open decolletage
composed of folds of embroidered
mousseline de sole. Another tunic is
Of point de Venise, and was worn at a
wedding reception over beautiful rose
oriental satin. The waist was encir-
cled by wonderful Marie Antoinette
band of shaded old rose taffeta with
marvellous strass buckle at the back.
Surmounting this frock was an exqui-
site white chip hat, the brim yelled
with embroidered lisse and trimmed
with single shaded pink sweeping
ostrich plume.
Very pretty are the new high
crowned hats adorned with series of
small, nodding, shaded plumes. The
high-crowned hat in white or black
crinoline or leghorn, the brim yelled
with lace, is one of the prettiest frames
for pretty face, and the newest Golf
fure over here is so admirably suited
to this style of picture hat, being ap-
parently simply arranged in loose, big
waves, but in reality the work Of a
most artistic coiffeur.
A good many leading Parisians have
been wearing the softest black frocks,
very often relieved by touch of rose.
Rose is much in evidence just now,
from the palest to the deepest shades.
Girls are wearing quantity Of pale
rose muslin, while married women are

led by a bouquet of La France roses.

and wonderful, painted chiffons or
beautiful silks, not to speak of exqui-

ty corrections of to-day. Even the
parasols are perfect studies in colors
