The dog show at San Mateo proved
one of the biggest attractions of the
month and many were the blue blooded
and ariStocratic doggies, who could
trace their ancestry a generations,
more or less, who were brought from
near and far to contend for honors. For
nearly every member of the feminine
portion of the community composing
orr local smart set has her special
canine pet, the isolated few who have

the rule. Many of these dogs, however,
are too pampered and petted and spoilt
to show at their best in show.
Most of them accompany their mis-
tresses wherever they go, and are very
much one of the family with fads and
fancles of their own and, many of them,
wardrobes. Miss Cornelia Kempff's lit
tie dog, Kimball O'Hara, of Pomeranian
descent is an example, for no child
could have more toys than he, nor take
more. of an interest in playing with
them.
He has his doll that squeaks and his
rubber ball. his fur cat to toss and
shake, and several others, more or less
costly, that appeal to his esthetic taste
Say to him, kim, where's your cat?"
and if the cat is handy it is brought
for inspection, and, if not, more whines
and groans go UP than would melt the
heart of plaster saint. Each toy he
knows by name, and besides he has a
number of other little tricks that are
irresistible. One of Miss Kempffs
cocker spaniels was entered in the San
Mateo show by her little cousin, Miss
Alexandra Macondray, who makes her
home in Menlo Park
Another who has dog that knows
thousand and one tricks, dog that can
beg and ak and sing in his own
fashion, is Mrs. Pierre Moore. Wher-
ever she. goes she is accompanied by
her cocker spaniel and when he was
recently run over by a streetcar she
even sent him to the hospital in charge
of a trained nurse. Miss Florence Hen
shaw of Oakland is always seen in
public with her special pet a diminu-
tive black dog. Last year she set the
style of the muff dog, which was
widely copied by lovers of dogs in this
city. Her dog was of small enough
dimensions to tuck in her muff, ana
consequently, wherever she went, he
was seen with head showing at one
end and tail at the other of her big
black muff, which she carried on her
arm, the whole surmounted by a huge
bunch of violets.
Mrs. Harry Stetson seldoms goes for
a walk without her three dogs, and
Miss Amy Brewer is always accom-
panied by gaunt looking wolfhound
and her famous bull terrier, PATSY. ..
Miss Mary Sherwood. who will be
debutante of next winter, has a fox
terrier, Baby" whom she takes with
her on all of her trips, and Vicomtesse
Philippe de Tristan's silver haired lap
dog, Monkey goes with her on her
annual trips to Paris and always is in
cluded in every walk, drive or automo-
bile ride.
