Chihuahua Is Smallest.

The smallest of all recognized breeds
of dogs is the Chihuahua, which is also
one of the most intelligent of all the
canine family. This breed is a product
of Mexico and is named after a north
ern country where there are thousands
OF these little dogs running wild and
multiplying each year. 1t seems re-
markable thing that in spite of the
fact that they have never had any
dog shows in Mexico, one only has to
visit that country and try to purchase
a really good. typical little Chihuahua
from q native to realize that the MeXi-
cans know the worth of this dog of his
own country. How these dogs were
bred probably never will be known.
Some authorities have minated that
they were bred some generations back
from large squirrels, and this view is
borne 'out by the fact that - one time
these dogs ran wild in the woods and
that the Chihuahua is nearly as pro-
ficient in running up trees as the SPUR

Amid the breaking up of empires,

When Peter the Great built his new

The time will soon be here for those
exciting and fascinating excursions TO
the millinery shop in search of new
millinery, of which much is expected.
The old millinery axiom that hat is
becoming when one looks better with
IL on than without ii, is a good thing
TO bear In mind. At the very least we
expect hats. like mirrors, to "be to
our faults little blind, and TO our vir-
tues not unkind." Just how much the
right shape and the right colors can
do TO transform a face, is measured
often by the long price which a small
bit of millinery commands. 1t is the
intangible in millinery that is worth
more than anything else-the color
harmony. the beautifully balanced
lines, the poise Of the hat on the
head and its appropriateness. that are
worth more than mere material.
No one understands this quite so
well Hs the woman who has reached
middle life, or passed it. She expects
her hats TO do much for her in the
way of enhancing her good points, and
designers who specialize successfully

Recently American manufacturers
of underwear have thought so well of
their achievements that they have pro-
claimed themselves as the designers
of the styles now favored in lingerie.
They certainly are justified in taking
pride in the daintineSS and attractive
ness OF the garments they make in
such quantities and they find it easy
to cultivate a taste for fine undermus-
Inns. American women are appreci-
ative. but they are also practical and
they demand pretty but not too fragile
garments. Few of them run to the
extreme of wearing chiffon or georg-
cite in indies. or care for bizarre de-

OF course not much handwork is to
be found on manufactured undermus-
Inns. but machinery has been made to
do wonderful work and sometimes so
effectively that comparisons with hand
work are not by any means odious to
the machine-made garment. Some
times the plain sewing on undermus-
Inns is done by machinery and the
decoration by hand. But however
they may be put together and finished,
the styles are about the same in under
garments.
