ny MARY MARSHALL.

- ONE women choose their wraps
and hats and other outdoor
raunent to match or harmonic
with the color of their motor
carS-and their indoor things
they choose with one eye on the color
scheme of their living rooms But
women sometimes choose their clothes
to match their dogs,
or Il NAV be the other way round.
The new car may be chosen to agree
with the prevailing color tone OF the
street clothes for the season, bedroom
and boudoir may be done over to tone
in with new negllge apparel and new
ciraperv and upholstery may be chosen
fer the living rooms 70 conform 10 the
new color scheme in indoor frocks,
And l actually do know of a woman
who went visiting all the nearby ken
nels the other day trying 70 find dog
that would look well on a leash when
she wore the new navy blue street en-
ssnlnle she had planned for Autumn,
OF course. she couldn't find a blue
COS. but she fell III love With a chow, so
she arranged a compromise and is plan
rsrs 10 wear her navy blue suit with
one Of the new reddish brown over
hl0uSss ard a reddish brown hat And
she will have a navy blue leather collar
and leash fer the dog and l suppose she
vii be quite content.
She explained 10 me that when one
could have but one dos she thought
something like q chow dog that would
Go with many things was better anyway.
EorTois or wolf hounds are appropriate
onlv with rather stately and elaborate
afternoon gowns. Pointers and settlers
call for certain sort of sports clothes,
end wire-hsiTed terriers and bulldogs
demand smartIy tailored clothes. But
4 chow she felt sure. would so fairly
well with almost anything.
She rather envied the women who live
II Inc country where they may have
whole kennel full Of different dogs to
call up0n to complete their various en-
kembleS
I saw photograph taken Of an
English society Wedding the other day
There was the very spruce looking
bridegroom. son of distinguished rear
admiral. his bride with pearl diadem
and veil. six lovely bridesmaids with
poke bonnets tied under their chinS.
with bow ends hanging down over their
left shoulders: best man, DAINTY
little flower Girl and a trainbearer IN
correct Highland kilt costume. and oc-
cupving a place Of honor in the fore
ground beside the spreadout Splendor
al the brides train appeared knowing
and rather honleiy locking cocker span
Eel. You'll have TO admit that oorSoi
or a greyhound would have looked more
appropriate. but this bride apparently
docs not think Of her dog friends as
accessories Of dress.
Still il is rather amusing 70 do so.
In Vienna not long ago there was a
combination dog and fashion show at
which prizes we're given to the best dog
