The latest French fashion is to ornament

That the dog collar has altogether sup

by the accompanying pictures. Mrs.
Loew and Mrs. Parsons wear the dog collar

wears the simple string Of pearls which is

had the old fashioned necklaces have either

her buckles made Of a size to match the

get up early enough to see it. In some

members of the tired household go

Scotland, the sun whirls like wind
