ALTHOUGH this lady does not exhibit her dogs as often as theii 

 merits would justify, from the little of her I have seen, and her 

 quoted views of her dogs given in a well-known fanciers' paper, I 

 have no doubt she is a genuine lover of dogs, and treats them 

 quite as members of the family, and I am quite sure that many 

 dogs so treated greatly increase in intelligence, and can literally 

 do everything but speak, and some of them can do even that to 

 a limited extent. 



As the characters of young people are said to make themselves 

 known at play, so I think the characters of their elders are very often 

 displayed in the show ring, and particularly the relationship existing 

 between the dogs and their owners. I fancy I can almost tell \vho 

 are the dog lovers by the way they show their dogs and the 

 sympathy between them, and certainly such dogs have far better 

 chances of success than those shown in a more formal manner. 



Mrs. Claude Hay is one of the ladies who have taken an interest 

 in the Ladies' Kennel Association, and usually exhibits her dogs at 

 the shows held under its auspices. She is also on the Committee of
