PAMPERED PET DOGS

Gold-mounted tortoiseshell comb.
teweled lookingglass, toothbrush. three
satin coats, three silk coats. two gold
embroidered coats for evening wear
q set Of silver feeding spoons, a light
dust coat for motoring, a gold mount
ed scent spray. two dozen neck RIB

the outfits OF pet dogs OF wealthy so
ciety women, the animals being pro
vided with every luxury.
In justice to lady fanciers. howeveI
and women are among the most sue
cessful of dog keepers and breeders.
as will be evident from study OF the
prize awards In recent exhibitions-r
should be pointed out that they spend
large sums on the care Of their pets
for the simple reason that the latter
are in many cases worth hundreds OF
dollars
There are many women, however,
who keep pet dogs. not for exhibition
purposes, but simply In order to lavish
on them the greater part Of their
thought and wealth. and II Is such
women who arouse indignation on &C
count OF their canine extravaganza.
There has Just been opened in New
York. for instance. a large country
house which has been turned into a
toy dogs paradise, where society
women can send their pets for a holi
day or for the benefit of their health.
There is a special stan Of men and
women to attend to the daily toilet
Of the dogs, which is no small task,
for the tiny mouths must be washed
out, meals given. coats combed and
brushed and finally polished with a
square of white plush dipped In per
fume. The paws receive as much at.
tention as the fingernails Of lady OF
fashion, while the postman brings let
tiers and gifts for the pets every day
One little dog may get only a pic
ture postcard while another, perhaps,
will find a box OF sweets when It has
broken into the package addressed to
It. One toy Pom" always gets box
Of her mistress favorite flowers. In
deed, all kinds OF foolishness are In
dulged in for the discomfort OF the
dog and the private qualification OF its
mistress
Paw-warmers, foot-muffs, goggles
for motoring. gold anklets, and private
breakfast and tea sets are among
other things in the outfit OF the fash
ionable pet, who also has its AT

book In which the names OF visiting
dogs are duly entered.
A recent case In the English law
courts revealed the fact that some
dogs live In coroneted kennels, while
miniature baths-beautiful little con
trivances OF white porcelain. with hot
and cold taps and waste pipe-are the
latest thing In fashionable dogland
