THE GOODIES, TOO
PredoF and Prinz Won WeiSenau
Real Blue BlOods and
Lords of Kennels.

LORDS or kennelS.
Charles Ludwig is real artist, and
thereby hangs tale.
He knows quite as much Of things
culinary rs he does Of things canine,
which is saying great deal.
Mr.. Ludwig can jump from breeding
Harlequin Great Danes to perfecting
harlequin ice cream just as readily as
lie ean turn from a brand new recipe
for Danish sweetbread to a brand new
lister Of Danish puppies.
The way to the Ludwig Kennels,
which have some of the finest Great
Danes in the country, lies through a
veritablc fairyland of goodies. All
sorts Of dclectablc cocoanut cakes,
angel food. apple pies and cream putfs
tempt the unwary, aud as one Is told
10 help ones self the real business Of
seeing the dogs is usually postponed
until one has propitiated ones sweet
, tooth.
AS YOU wander along. with cakes 20
right of you, pies to left OF you, pud-
dings in back of you, you are bound
TO wonder where the owner of all these
toothsomc morscls conceals his Great
Danes, and then suddenly you find
yourself in the open in a large stucco
court and hinge animals are bearing
down on you; two arc IN the van--one
white, spotted with black, and one
fawn-and they appear 10 be about the
size of baby elephants. If one IS at all
timid one will fancy that these great
CANNES are out man stalking, but their
fierce expression, which is part OF their
stock in trade. is quite belied by their
gentle, magnanimous natures. 1t IS
this tolerance of all things weaker
than himself which has earned the
cognomen the Great Deign for tins
native Of Denmark.

he finds small consolation in the old
