think I will have 10 import one I'm my
next consignment" Thus spoke Mrs.
Sarah Leonhardt. whose kennels at 40
Fourth ave, Brooklyn. are the pride or
the City OF Churches.
Mrs. Leonhardt's beautiful Japanese
spaniels do not stay in the kennels; IN
deed. they do not stay put anywhere Tor
Two consecutive minutes. The house be-
longs 20 them from cellar 10 attic. and
one encounters punches Of black ana
white fun everywhere-on the piano, on
the staircase I'm the easy chairs or on inc
mantle over tie freplace-and one is
bound 10 admit that they are extremely
ornamental.
Omar is the bright particular star IN

all Of them are OF the blanc ell NOR va
r,s.v hut she owns a few lemon-and-
vb,ta dogs. as there are always some
buvers who prefer blondes.
one OF the homebreds is lemon-anu-
white beauty: at least she comes uhoer
that head, although the lemon when
decorates her snowy coat is deep
red in color. much like that OF Blen-
helm spaniel. and much more fetching
than the pale lemon color which one finds
I'm the coats of most Japs.
Mrs. Leonhardt secures this color by
crossing her -and-white matrons
with black -and-white sires Tamas MOTH
or Is the imported Mitsu. and her father
is Tamma.
In the kennels are three black Poms ana

she intends TO keep only the best. MI
