nolia shops as well—superiority. 
To go into the details of the rich costumes, the tasty 
household decorations and accessories and marvelous an- 
tiques would be superfluous. There is no comparative 
‘degree in their description, hence the superlative of all 
qualifying adjectives may be used. To the stranger the 
mention of the leading firms in the exclusive colony of 
Magnolia shops will convey an inkling of its rank: The 
Grande Maison de Blanc, 538-540 Fifth ave., New York, 
long known as “the trousseau house of America,” ‘spe- 
cializing in linens, French underwear and sport clothes; 
James McCutcheon & Co., Fifth ave., New York, spoken 
of as the “greatest treasure house of linens in America,” 
specializing in trousseau outfits; Dreicer & Co., 560 Fifth 
ave., New York, pearl dealers and jewelers; Bonwit- 
Teller & Co., Fifth ave., New York, Paris and Philadel- 
phia, who stand for individuality in women’s dress; De- 
Pinna, the well-known children’s specialty house of Fiftn 
ave.; Ovington’s, importers of china and glassware, and 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 9 
art goods, also Fifth ave., New York; A. Schmidt & Son, 
importers of silver and Sheffield plate, and fine porcelains, 
New York, Washington and St. Louis; Walpole Bros., 
linen manufacturers of Belfast, London and New York; 
FE. T. Slattery Co., Boston, fashionable apparel for wom- 
en, misses and children and all the accessories of the 
smart feminine wordrobe; Collins & Fairbanks, of Boston, 
hats and furs for men and. women; Cammeyer of New 
York, exclusive footwear for men, women and children; 
L. P. Hollander & Co., of Boston and New York, ladies’ 
wearing apparel ‘“‘with a high standard of distinction” ; 
Harlow and Howland, 355 Boylston st., Boston, interior 
decorators; Mme. Mogabgab, New York, gowns, mil- 
linery and sport clothes; The Lowestoft Shop, antiques 
and decorations, 85 Chestnut st., Boston, and L. W. Hall 
& Co., 396 Boylston st., Boston, fancy leather goods and 
novelties. 
Of the pre-eminence of Magnolia as the most exclu- 
sive shopping center of America there is little doubt. 
Through the accident of war the glory of Paris dimmed 
and society no longer looks in that direction for guidance 
in matters of fashion. But Magnolia shows the way!

Some Dog Pets Along the North Shore 
OGS are coming into their own as never before. Prac- 
tically every home on the North Shore has one pet and 
in many cases a half dozen or more may be found on the 
place. The Pomeranians, Pekingese and toy poodles pre- 
dominate among the pet dogs, while many noble speci- 
~ens are seen among the larger types. 
The North Shore was interested in the little prize 
winner of last year’s shows, Nowata Ting Fa, belonging 
to Mrs. Francis R. Spalding of West Manchester. This 
little fellow made his “debut”? last summer and was the 
sensational winner in his class at the ‘““Peke” show at the 
Plaza hotel. He is now summering in the West Man- 
chester home. 
The first dog show of the season was held Saturday 
afternoon at “Willowbrook,” in Beverly Cove, when Mrs. 
Joseph H. Tyler entertained twenty-five Radcliffe girls 
of the 1911 class. The girls were the judges and the dogs 
were the 20 handsome English Setters belonging to Chas. 
H. Tyler. Dogs that came in for prizes were Willow- 
brook Real, Willowbrook Gad and Willowbrook Flounce. 
All are fine creatures and their judges had difficulty in 
deciding as to their various merits—the prettiest marked 
ones being generally favored. These doys have recently 
come from Wakefield where Mr. Tyler kept them when 
not hunting. He-was with them in So. Carolina part of 
the winter. New kennels are almost completed at the 
Tyler home. The building is one of the most up-to-date 
kennels to be found, is finished in hardwood, has eighteen 
pens, and resembles a barn more than a kennel. The- 
old kennel with its four pens has been done over in wooil 
to match the new one. A kitchen completes this house in 
which the purest rice and biscuits are served to the hunt- 
ers. All of the dogs are winners in the important shows 
of the country. Joe Lewis is the expert caretaker at the 
new kennels, and delights in showing his charges to in- 
terested visitors. 
At the George S. Mandell home in Hamilton the pet 
dogs include Yorkshire terriers and Welsh terriers. The 
sight of the place, however, is the kennel where about 
fifty imported foxhounds are kept. These white and 
brown beauties with their backs marked in black set up 
such a terrific baying at the sight of a visitor that one 
hesitates to go very close to them, although one of their 
number which was on the outside of the enclosure the 
other day, seemed as gentle as any ordinary dog. These 
hounds are the special delight of Miss Emma Mandell, 
the young daughter, who is the enthusiastic master of the 
pony drags of the Myopia Hunt club. She always rides 
in these hunts accompanied by her father and brothers. 
At the Hamilton home of the Charles F. Ayers are 
some fine dogs. A really beautiful dog is the snow-whiie 
Llewellen setter,.a. bird dog belonging to Mr. Ayer. Not 
many dogs strike the writer as beautiful, but this one, 
when seen the other day tethered out on the long stretca
