Breeding and Selling of Rough-and-Ready Pe

Latest Avocation of Secial Elect
ALAS peer Fifi, we knew her well!

Ucked her saucer of cream. Legien were her subjectB.
Cemes new news of her passing.
The day of the lapdep Is gene forever, announces Philadelphia's
nger &ct collectively. In its little pampered stead has come the
teuchest out-of-deer deg that ever had the geed luck te romp through a
unlit valley or bay into the reaches of a Gwyncdd Valley blue sky.
Net only has the latest activity of Philadelphia's debutantes and post pest
debutantes led te the raising of Doberman Pinschers, police dogs, wire
haired fox terriers and ether members of the rougher canine set. It has
led te the selling of them.
There you have it.
France herself has grandes dames who have invaded the Rue de la
paix. New in Philadelphia, stronghold of aristocracy, these young blue blue
bleeds who take possession of their fathers' garages invest real capital
in and put en a business basis this matter of deg fanciering.
Nine woolly puppies take a collective header into the dead leaves
long a garden path.
A girl, bright-cheeked and shin-j
ing-eyed, makes a quick tllve from
imenc them. She is as swift as the j . ."
irind, but they in their clumsy way
are swifter. Six are attached te her
plaid skirt as she arrives breath-
lets at tne oer 01 uiu garage.
One shies off, cocks his head en the t
lido and sends sharp little barks '
of rebellion at the far-off hills. The
test held en relentlessly with their
email white teeth. Cemes Mitzi, their
dignified, alertful mother. Sneezes

Fer Lure of Dogdem
Parties have been given up in
honor of this new avocation. Oat
meal pans have bcen surreptitiously
removed from under the new watch

have been called into style in order j
that the young deg fanciers,
nay steal out te the "kennel" be-

Anether young miss, a deb

times a day. She ulmest cut off the i
telephone in the course of that job! j

This fall Careline Valentine brought
tack from England two wire-haired

fanny blnck box. Between half-shut
deg eyes he watched a pile of leaves fly
off like brown birds in a puff of wind.
Then he settled his fine bin hend com

This youngest of the deg fanciers
didu t get iiur knowledge, of deg breed

questle; . of the elder folks, whose
bobby . hnd been for a long time. A
few minutes after the photographic
episode she sat en the bench and ex
plained that every one had been awfully
nlce about telling her anything she
wanted te knew.
It was explained that MItzl had been
bred te Colonel Iloesevelt, a winner of
many cups and belonging te R. 0. Oon Oen

into.
"I bought Mitzi with my own money,
and that s the way I mean te go en
