were let loose during the reception!
More than one guest noticed that the bride
stopped and patted Chesly before turning
to welcome the fashionable crowd that
came to wish her joy. None of this, how
ever, made any impression on the BRIDE
groom, for he was too happy to think.
They went off on their honeymoon sans
dogs of any kind. ~ ~ ~
Their honeymoon over, the Winstons re-
turned to Long Island and took up their
residence with Mrs. Kennedy and the dogs.
All too soon riffs came along in the lutte.
Society says that Winston soon found his
days made hideous and his nights disturbed
by the Poms. The Irish terriers were not
so bad they are decent man dogs, anyway,
and can eat and drink anything. But
Poms are different. Recent novelists have
made appealing pen pictures of husbands
driven from their wives boudoirs by the
swapping little toy dogs, fit only to be
stuffed and placed in glass case.
Rumor says that this is what happened
In the Winston menage. Also, that night
after night friend husband had to get up
and pat and pet the poor things when they
mad bad dreams and just felt sulky And
all he got in thanks were nasty little nips
and scratches on his hands. Before two
years were over Winston hated the Poms
so he would not enter room where they
were.
If there had been children, the outcome
might have been different. His wife's at
tentions would have been less concen-
trated on her dogs, even though she might
have a retinue Of nurses to look after the
babies.

eagerly into war. The dogs of war are
preferable sometimes 1t seems to the dogs
of fashion.
Just before the conflict became cer-
tainty, Mrs. Winston entered her Poms
at one of the Long Island shows. Winston
accompanied her to the grounds, and while
one of the dogs was in the show ring he
wandered about outside, leading or being
led by two pecky beasts of bluest Pom
blood. Mrs. Winston left the ring in high
dudgeon because she thought her pet had
not been given the proper rating. She
poured her woes out on her waiting hus-
band, whose only answer was a grin and
the side remark that he guessed the Judge
knew what he was doing, he himself did
not believe the Pom had as many points"
as his wife claimed.
Society says that divorce became i'm
minent from that moment.
During the last year, while Mrs. Winston
had been living apart from her husband.
she turned even more attention to her ken
nels, spending a large share OF her allow
ance on them and being ever on the look
out for more prize winners. Suddenly her
interest slaokened and her friends noticed
that Malcolm Stevenson seemed to be get
ting very much interested In the pretty
young.divorcee and her dogs.
The wooing was swift.
At the quiet little wedding in her
mothers home at Hampstead on January
II. the bride did not have any OF her dogs

and the marital experiences of both, society
is sure that Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson
reached a very definite conclusion as TO
the part her kennels is to play In their
married life.
