 Conspicious among them are the squirrel lined velvet coats worn by pampered minions of the lapdog tribe An Italian greyhound clad in one of these coats in scarlet velvet made dis tinct sensation on the avenue. The garment had an easy evening cloak fit. A fluted collar flared back from the neck, showing the silvery fur lining to advantage.
 A carriage cloak in heavy twilled silk gayly plaided In a Gozen colors and | lined with golden brown fur was worn by little lapdog on drive to the park So little of the doglette show ed that Identification was impossible. Another sensation was made by a Boston bull rigged in 8 spruce dark green scotch serge coat plaided in lemon yellow. A pipfng of yellow leather edged the coat. which was further adorned by an elaborate initial in brass open work set right on the cloth.
 The yellow theme of the coat was carried out in the wide neck collar of heavy glazed leather in lemon color studded with a series of oblong brass plates set at half inch distances. The mistress of this smart dog carried a yellow whip and leach.
