MILADY'S PAMPERED
DOG WEARS RUBBERS
WHEN HE GOES OUT
Canine Anstocrats Now Possess In,
dividual Tooth Brushes. Military
Brushes, and Bath Robes.

II you really want to pamper your
| dog. be he large or small, lean or fat.
| there was never a time when IL was
easier to do so or a time when there
were more temptations to lure you to
this particular sort Of indulgence than
the present. Just to see the little rub
bers that come. four in a set. to Mt any
size OF dog foot is enough TO make a
dog lover want to try them on a real
/ live dog. Besides keeping the cold and
damp from the dogs feet they would
| help to keep away the muddy foot
prints that even the most highly bred
dog is sure to bring into the house
after his airing on a rainy day. These
little rubbers are easily adjusted and
easily washed off. They cost at a large
department store that has an exception
ally fine line of dog haberdashery 1924
a set.
But rubbers are not ALL Dogs now
adays have shoes, too. for some dogs
are so well bred that they wouldn't
think of stepping out of their carriage
or automobile with bare feet. These
shoes, four in a set of course. cost the
same as the rubbers and are exactly
like them except that they are made
of leather instead of rubber.
Dogs of refinement have lons been
accustomed to sweaters. which may be
bought for 81 to SO apiece, but it is a
new trick for dogs to demand rubber
raincoats. These. made of black rub
Der lined with soft red felt. fasten high
over the neck. They cost in small sizes
IS cents.
For the Dog Who Motors.
Automobiles among CANNES of
course wear goggles, and the funny
thing about it is that when once ac-
customed to them they seem to wear
them quite willingly-which is more
than can be said of most people.
For automobiling dogs the latest thing
is an automobile basket, which is rather
necessary when travelling through the
country, where dog accommodations at
the hotels are not always up to the high
standards of the high-bred dog. In one
such basket, which sells for almost so,
there is a compartment for his dogship
to sleep in. This is equipped with a mat,
a cushion, and a warm blanket Above
this section there are cases and drawers
where the following articles are kept:
A pair of boots, two brushes of different
sizes, one comb, one cake of special soap,
a pair Of towels, a sponge in a case, a
bathrobe, and a flask. Just what the
flask is supposed to contain the shop
keepers do not seem to know, but any
dog of imagination could doubtless sup
ply this information. Cheaper travelling
baskets, untitled, cost from 81 up. Spe-
cial bath baskets are sold for dogs for
S1974, which contain. besides a metal
bath tub, soap. paper towels, wash
cloths. sponges. and a tooth brush
for. of course, no well-bred dog can
exist without a tooth brush.
Special brushes for dogs are to be had
at "A and 40 cents. They resemble mill
tary brushes, except that they are not
used in pairs. Big-toothed steel combs
at "A cents are especially sold for dogs.
Even for a plain dog who, if lucky, gets
a Tubing every few weeks and is seldom
combed except when he has the misfor-
tune to get burrs in his coat, one of
these steel combs Is almost q necessity.
They are so large of tooth that they are
not so likely to pull his hair as the Ordi-
nary variety of comb. and being of
smooth steel they can be washed and
scaIded without impairing their quality.
