B4 HE best and most aristocratic

their children on Shetland DO
MES. writes A Elmslie Crabbe, in the
Philadelphia Record. The shipment of
these sturdy little animals for America

wherever you go amongst the smart

handsome little beasts carrying the
children Of the household In fact, if
YOU really want to be in tho newest
fashion and to give children the time
of Shetland ponies in your stables.
Experts say Shetlands teach children
self-reliance and domination and set
off the natural beauties of the girls as
they canter through the parks like no
other ponies on earth.
Shetland ponies, of course, are to
some people merely D general name
for a small type of pony, but this is a
mistake. These small animals are bred
with as much care in the Shetland
Islands as pheasants are bred and
reared in cover in England and other
sporting countries.
The Shetland islands themselves are
composed Of some thirty or forty
small islands and three or four larger
ones. The largest, called the MAIN
land" is a bleak, billy island starting
at the peninsula with Sumburgh Head
as its commencement and ending at
INST, a whale fishers port, the first
they touch on British soil.
Opposite Lerwick, the capital of the
islandr lies Bressay, one of the larger
islandl, and the center Of the pony
breeding industry. Here they are
reared and eventually exported to the
United States and to Scotland, Eng
land and other countries as required.
