Among the many crazes which so ciety from time to time has taken up the fashion of the pet dog has had one of the longest vogues. No woman of recent years has been complete without her diminutive Fido, which she has either carried in her arms or led on a ribbon or chain, on shopping expeditions, or when riding or walk ing in the park. The toy dog has been an idol, and the fair sex have vied with one another in paying him homage. Now, however, there is a noticeable decrease in the number of pet dogs to be seen on promenade with their fashionable mistresses, and seldom is Fido’s little head seen peep ing from under his owner’s arm in the streets. The toy dog has ceased to be part of the outdoor adornment of his mistress. He belongs to the style of dress that has departed, the fluffiness of feather boas, short sleeves short skirts and small flower hats. He is out of harmony when the more ele gant present modes, with the long, graceful lines of the directoire gowns.
