The Beginners Luck Dogs
the Steps of Mrs.
A. M. Hunter.
SHE FINDS BREEDING
CHAMPIONS EASY WORK
A Visit to Chinatown Gave Her
Names for All Her Present
and Future Winners.

1t is traditional that beginners at poker,
polo or "Pekes" have luck that drives the
oldtimers wild with envy, and Mrs. a. NJ.
Hunter is no exception TO the rule. Mrs.
Hunter is one of the latest recruits 10 the
Pekingese fancy. and although her Arden
Kennels at Pelham Manor have been
established only a short time, her dogs
have already added to "Peke" history in
America. Mrs. Hunter finds breeding
champions easy. The most difficult part
seems to be finding appellatiOns which
sound sufficiently like epithets 10 be APP
propriately bestowed on the Celestial
breed one of the first requisites OF a
successful "Peke" is to be endowed with
a name like U-Li-Ur or Ai-Kee-Tumtum.
Quong Sing of Arden, one OF Mrs. Hunt
er's homebreds, is named for respecta-
ole laundryman on Eighth avenue, and
when Mrs. Hunter found it necessary TO
deve into Chinatown to provide suitable
draperies for her benches at the Pekingese
show she says that she laid in a stock of
names that will last for a whole genera
ton Of Pekingese spaniels.
There are several little aspirants await
ing names in the Arden Kennels. and they
vary I'm age from two days to four months
The tiniest family belongs 10 Bee Tee Of
Arden, a beautiful black and tan matron
which is a most Indifferent mother she
will cheerfully relinquish her children to
the tender mercles Of all visitors. and at
present the owner OF the kennels has nut
two of the babies out TO board One IL
visiting Mrs. Ah-H-Ta and the other IS
the guest of Mrs Foy Yen. Bee Tee was
purchased from Mrs. Frank T. Clarke, as
were most of Mrs. Hunters imported
dogs The father Of Bee Tees family IS
Mrs. Clarkes tiny red Ia Mo, which
weighs less than five pounds. All of the
babies are, like their father. extremely
small. with coats like a FURNISHED horse
chestnut. Bee Tee is by U-Lu Chen ana
China Toy.
Ah-Hi-Ta. which is at present enter
tanning a foster child unawares, has one
Of her own to take up her attention. She
seems just as fond of Bee Tees baby as
Of her own. Hi of Mine OF Arden is the
sire Of this yOungster, which is red, like
her adopted sister. Cottage Foy Yen
also has only one son. He is by the
beautiful. graceful little Chin Toy Of Ar
den Foy Yen is a daughter of Broadoak
Sannie. the young lady which had such
thrilling experience less than year ago
and was mixed up with thieves, ransom
money and a midnight rescue. Now
Sannie is missing again and Mrs. Hunter
his given up hope of ever finding her. She
attributes Sannie's downfall TO her love
Of automobiles. and Sannie is suspected
OF having entered some itinerant motor
car.
The most beautiful family in the Arden
Kennels is composed of two boys and two
girls, belonging 20 Peh Sin and Hi Of
Mine. Peh Sin is little biscuit colored
bitch, with nothing but a sweet DISPOSE
ton TO recommend her Mrs. Hunter says
that II she were a human being she is
the sort that would always be referred
TO as "a worthy woman; therefore all OF
the quality which the babies are replete
with is supposed 10 come from the father.
Originally there were six babies in the
house Of Peh Sin, but one gave up his
little Pekingese ghost at the tender age Of
two days. and another one has been sold.
The larger one of the two boys is
gorgeous beauty, which will make even
the best OF them look to their laurels
when he reaches months Of discretion and
is allowed to make his bow to the public.
He has a noble head. with plenty Of room
for his hair. splendid big windows of the
soul. and is quite sans nose. Although
he is only four months old he is already
we'll feathered, and Mrs. Hunter has
pinned her hopes on this embryonic cham
piOn. His brother is a faithful replica,
but much smaller and the two little girls
give promise Of great beauty. The young
sters are all gray brinde like their pa
ternal grandfather, Champion Chinky
Chog.
one OF Mrs Hunters little protegees IS
I.ally Of Arden. She had the distinction
Of being chosen TO sit for the miniature
with which the Pekingese Club presented
Mrs. Herbert at its recent show. Lally
made her debut at this show, and when
Mrs. Herbert placed her she said, You
have eyebrows like my Yen Chu OF Newn-
ham," and then Lally-or IL may have
been Mrs. Hunter-told Mrs. Herbert that
she was his daughter.
About the finest Of the sires in the
Arden Kennels is Hi Of Mine, Of Arden.
lie is considered by some authorities
to he the best Peke in the country, but
AT present he is considerably out or
coat Hi OF Mine is by Chinky ChOg
and Quong Lu. Chinky Chog is so close
10 the royal palace that he has not vet
been registered. Mrs. Hunter has
owned Hi only three months Mrs.
Clarke brought him to America on her
last trip from Europe.
Fairfax Chun Toy, of Arden, is the
sweetest of all. He has that charm
which would be called personality in
"A man. and every one who sees Chin
falls in love with him. Besides being
beautiful ne has the most captivating
tricks and always manages TO get Just
what he wants. Chin is by the wonder
