they wish than should children. Under
ordinary circumstances the diet for dog
includes, besides the cod liver oil, biscuits
and undeFdone mutton, underdone beef
or a little scraped raw beef, occasionally
a little fish, rice and milk or cream,
crackers and milk and sponge cake and
cream Richer cakes and bon bons, al
though they may occasionally be given
to pet dog, are even more dangerous to
its digestion than to that of child, Dogs
differ in constitution as do human beings,
and it is necessary to watch them to see
whether they are shy feeders or not. If
they are too greedy they must be re-
strained; if they are shy feeders they must
be helped along with a little cod liver
oil, which they do not dislike. AS dogs
digestive organs are not of the strongest
it is necessary to give them a little highly
nourishing food rather than a larger
amount of food which is not so nourish-
ing. When dogs are not strong they are
given a tonic. For the small dog this may
be one grain of saccharated iron mixed
with their food at every meal
All dogs, especially the toy dogs, have
sluggish livers, more so than any human
being. 1t is usually necessary to give
them a dose of Rochelle salts every ten
days in winter and every week in sum
mer. This may be given IN their food or
put down their throats, using a cigarette
paper as funnel. Not quite one-half
teaspoonful is given as dose for Il
small dog. Vegetable pills are also used

Inexpensive Christmas Gifts.

there is also "a pocket for scissors and a
thlmble; thus the bag always looks neat.
A powder case can be made of any little
odd piece of silk and lined with chamois,
Between the chamois and silk is put some
good face powder, then little holes are
cut in the chamois, which the powder can
come out of when it is rubbed over the
face. These cases are very easy 70 make
and every girl is always delighted to re-
lceive one. The covering may be made as
elaborate as one wishes. The male mem
bers of ones family are always the hard
lest to provide for, as there are so few
things that one can make for a man. Of
course, for the girl who has a brother at
college nothing is more welcome than
sofa cushions. the prettiest ones having
the college crest stamped on the material
and worked in ohtline, using the button
hole stitch on the outer edge. Almost
any shop will stamp the different crests
Then there is always the knitted or
crocheted ties, which can be made in an
infinite number of colors and stitches, and
man has never yet owned more neck
ties than he could wear, so this gift is
always acceptable. There are a great
many more gifts that one can make, but
lit would take too much time and space
to describe them all but remember, girls,
that the present that has had many low
ing stitches put in it is always more val
ued than the one that has cost twice as
much but has come from a shop So
start in time and by doing little each
day, when Christmas comes there ought
to be quite little pile of presents to be
distributed.

leather that goes up-from the nose, while
others have two bands that go up on each
side of the head and connect with bands
coming around the ears.
Collars are chosen. of course, with a
view to their becomingness to the dog,
and there is no rule laid down as to
exactly what any breed of dog must wear.
For the small short haired dogs the col
lars with long hair ruches are very fash
ionable. Sometimes these are studded
with jewels and sometimes with brass
nails, the latter being a little newer. as
the jewels have been used some time.
The dogs name and the owners mono
gram in gold or silver usually appears on
the collar and any amount Of ingenuity
is expended upon the monogram.
Among the luxurious things for dogs
recently imported are the most wonderful
baskets, which have been devised in Paris.

| Fresh air and exercise are absolutely
necessary to the wellbeing of dogs of all
kinds. Every dog should be taken out
at least twice a day, and the more nous
spent out of doors the better, except in
very bad weather, when precautions
must be taken against pneumonia. 1t is
better, however, that !, the precautions
should be IN the direction of warm wraps
than in keeping the dogs housed. If
dog is allowed to stay indoors and not to
take exercise it frequently falls a victim
to yellow jaundice.
FRESH AIR NECESSARY.
/ When improperly exposed or changed
from an overheated atmosphere to a cold
one dogs frequently get pneumonia. which
disease is quickly fatal to them. When
dog has pneumonia, to ease itself it
sits up on its hind feet and hangs its
head on one side. 1t cannot lie down,
When it is found that dog has pneu-
monia or any of the serious troubles cited
good doctor should be consulted with
out a moments delay.
Indoors rs well as out of doors fresh air
is necessary to a dog, and if it is kept
housed up in an overheated fiat its blood
will be affected and the ruin Of its coat
will inevitably follow. At night it should
also have fresh air and should sleep in
place having a temperature of from 80
degrees to 65 degrees. The mat on which
it sleeps should be changed at least twice
week.
In combing out the long hair of dog
the greatest care must be taken not to
pull it. The motion to be employed is
somewhat akin to kneading. A very
open comb is used, which must get down
to the skin to take out all the loose hairs.
After this has been done a soft brush is
used to give the coat the finishing touch.
1t is not correct for all dogs to have
glossy coats Good Pomerahians, for in
stance, have fluffy rather than glossy
coats. In caring for toy spaniels a most
important feature is the brushing out of
the feathers on their ears and legs To
preserve these feathers and their coats
as well the dogs should wear socks on
their hind feet, so that they will not be
able to scratch the feathers and destroy
their fuffiness.

They are to be had only at fashionable

Some of these baskets are Of gilded
cane in the shape of Il small peaked roof

used for the cushions of one of them, and
there were tiny curtains of satin to
match An equally elaborate basket,
which was open on the side, was fitted
with rose cciored brocade. The tiny bro
cade curtains, which were looped back
from the top of the basket, were fes-

cloth the coat has one piece of cloth above
another, and each layer of cloth is cut
smaller than the lower layer. making a
smart finish at the edges of the coat.
Another most remarkable new motor
coat for dogs has a very large rolling
collar, which is trimmed with metal orna
ments like buttons, set on in groups of
three at equal intervals around the collar.
The same ornaments are used down the
middle of the back of the coat and down
each side of the front piece This coat
is made also of cloth, with fur lining,
or cloth lined with cloth of another
shade.
One of the most remarkable innovations
in canine fnery is the cape coat. which
bears a strange resemblance to the cape
overcoats which were once so fashion
able for mems evening wear. Triple
capes adorn the dogs coat, all of them
turning back from the face in a most
distinguished manner. In cold weather,
however, it is possible to turn the inner
most collar well up about the dogs ears
This coat buttons with four straps across
the chest. Narrow braid is used to trim
the coat, pattern being worked around
the borders of the collar and the coat
itself. A narrow leather cord, or braid, is
sometimes used for making this pattern
instead of the braid. This coat is made
of Melton, in tan, gray, &c, with the
braiding in dark brown or black. 1t may
also be made of a light weight leather.
MOTOR GOGGLES OF MANY SHAPES.
Motor goggles of various shapes are
now on the market, and the important
point in selecting one is to see that it is
complete. The choice depends on the
shape Of the dogs head and nose and
something can be found comfortable for
every dog, so varied are the designs. Some
of the goggles have a straight band of
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-12-20

also less inclined to use many of them
A very good solution of the question Of
what to make is needle case with tht
venience not to have to thread a needle
especially when ones sight is not quite
as clear and keen as it used to be.
This case is made of a piece of silk OF
brocade nine inches wide and fifteen inches
long. 1t is lined with piece of white
flannel the same size. The two are held
together by binding of ribbon all around
One end of the case is turned over far
enough to hold spool of cotton and tackled
at each end and in three other places,
making four even spaces for the spools In
these are put a spool Of coarse white cot
ton, one of fine white cotton, one of black
cotton and one Of black silk Then a rib
bon like the binding is run through all the
spools and fastened at each end.
A whole paper of needles of the proper
size is threaded on the silk or cotton of
each spool, the thread pulled well through
them, so there is no danger of its coming
out, and the needles are quilted carefully
into the flannel. The needles must be ar
ranged in even rows running out from
each spool across the case. AS each needle
is used the thread is pulled through all the
Others, so no new threading is needed
until the Whole row has been used. 1t is
best to wind off at least one row of cotton
from the spools before putting them in the
case, as the cotton from full spools is apt
to get tangled
A piece OF ribbon must De sewed to the
middle OF the end of the case opposite the
spools; then the case is rolled around the
spools and tied with this ribbon.

Work Bags.

667E STITCH in time saves nine " is a
Avery good old preyerb, and it
would be well if many girls had
taken it to heart and applied it to the
work of making Christmas presents. No
time like the present to start in, then there
will not be the rush at the end to get
things finished and off in time for them
to reach their destination by Christmas
morning. 1t is a very CHEEKY feeling to
wake up on Christmas and find our pile
of presents neatly tied with ribbon and to
know that our many friends have been
thinking of us at this time of the year,
when all troubles are put aside and good
cheer and happiness ought to be in every
home but nothing goes so straight to the
heart as home made presents, no matter
how small, for what they lose in quantity
is quite repaid by the loving thoughts and
the time that has been spent on them by
the busy girls and boys who offer them as
the best evidence of their love and friend
ship. A bridge kit, or whatever one may
choose to call it, is very easy and mex
pensive to make. 1t requires about yard
and half of Powered ribbon. Fold both
ends deep enough to hold bridge pad,
then with the ribbon that is left in the
centre make another pocket in which you
put the cards. Run some ribbon around
the top to draw it up, leaving enough to
make ends to hang it on the arm or from
the waist. These are very pretty and
dainty when finished, and, as they are for
bridge, Of course most useful
A work bag is useful for holding the
different spools of silk, thus avoiding
their getting all tangled up, an unfortu-
nate occurrence that is so apt to happen I;

to stir up a sluggish liver. but there
must not be bit of mercury in the pills
as mercury is deadly to dogs.
A toy dog should never get chicken
bone, a turkey bone or any splin-
tering bone, as the splinters are swal-
lowed by the dog and are fatal. 1t is
safe to give the dog large bone that be
can gnaw. The dog should never be
permitted to take food at odd hours and
from other places than home, as gas
tritis will result from irregular and inn
proper feeding. Dogs are very prone to
gastritis, and the disease is frequently
fatal to them.

about them but conspicuous in a way not
to be desired.
Jolly girls out for a good time some
times forget that there are other persons
in the world, and that these other per.
sons, in theatre, for example, are very
near neighbors, with rights and privileges
of their own, as well as their own way Of
taking their enjoyment 1t is extremely
trying to such people to be seated near
girls who are needless of every one but
themselves.
These needless girls laugh and talk in
loud, unladylike tones between the acts
and MUNICH candy with avidity. During
the play they often carry on conversation
in whispers which can be plainly heard
to the great annoyance of their neigh
bors, while many girls further disturb by
being "wrigglers restlessly in
their chairs, first an arm or a leg. or
nervousy lingering their programmes or
their hats.
There Is also the girl who, having seen
the play before, cannot keep quiet
through second performance, but III
sists on whispering the development Of
the plot, as it goes along, to her compan-
ions. When the hero comes in she will
tell what he is going to do and what the
heroine will do, and whenever there is
suspense in the plot she will explain ex-
actly how it is all coming out. Not only
her companions hear these things, but
those sitting near are her victims, and as
it spoils the play for them they do not
feel very kindly toward the offender, who
all the time is really quite unconscious of
being Objectionable.
Pray do not be this kind of girl. IL
you happen to know the play keep still
and let others have the enjoyment of
hearing it from the stage Keep still
in all circumstances while the play goes
cp--keep your tongue still aud your body
still Between the acts cha all you
ike, provided you do it in quiet tones,
but do not eat candy. 1t is as bad form
to eat candy in theatre as it would be
in d street car.
Try not to be late to the play, for it is
so discourteous to disturb those who have
taken the trouble to get there on time by
your tardy arrival The simplest way
them, but should you not wish to do so
remove them as soon as you get into your
seat. If in spite of good intentions you
are late slip off your wrap and hat be-
fore you go down the aisle, which will
enable you to get seated with less dis
turbance TO others. If you are sitting
in a box it is not necessary to remove
your hat, though you will wish TO do so
if you find it is obstructing the view 0f
any one OF your companions.
