CANINE SOCIETY.
SELECT PARTY IN MAYFAIR,
LONDON, March 20,
Hundreds of canine pets attended a partv given by a dog's club in select Mayfair. Callers wearing the right collars were received from 11 a.m. till C p.m., and a butler assisted each doggy visitor into its special party dress —a tie-on coat emblazoned with the club colours. The guests barked their way through some rollicking games, including "hunt the slipper" and "biting the cat's tail." The hostess presented each with a fancy box of biscuits labelled "Not for human consumption," and a couple of sausages. The souvenir gift was a juicy bone tied with ribbon.
Many celebrated dogs belonging to the club, including two Scotch terriers owned by the Duke and Duchess of Kent, Princess Elizabeth's three Cairns, and two Pekes belonging to the Prince of Wales.
