court or in full dress, the pocket hoop or

There is no breed more popular than

would favor the admission of the new color,
II for no other reason than to give variety to

white Scottish, with those of Lady Forbes,
has been kept up for such long period in
England that the American Scottish Terrier
Club will be apt to adopt the popular view.
The breed Is believed to be the oldest FAM
lily. Of terriers in Scotland, having been
chiefly kept In the Highlands and one use
for them was to hunt foxes among the rocks
on the mountains, where hounds were never
seen.
About 1870, as an outcome Of a discussion
among the fanciers, it was decided to call
the longer bodied and hairy sort the Skye
terrier and the short coated the Scottish
terrier. The Dandie Dinmonts had an
earlier popularity in England as a Scotch
terrier. due to Sir Walter SCOTS introduce

But II there is way to sit down a little out

Practise the pose until II becomes sort OF

If you are going to rest your hand against

the right shape but also of the right color
The nails should be very rosy, for pale
nails will not look pretty resting gainst the

The prettiest hands arc. those that are
rather fig and white. with nails that are
rosy right to the tips. A hand like this
can rest against the face with mpunity.
But. if the hands be not perfect and the
wrists good, do not experiment with the
