Dogs of the British Upper Ten.

A hundred thousand dollars is the value of some thousand dogs owned by the upper ten in Britain, and some of these dogs are worth $5,000 apiece. Pomeranians have maids somewhat after the manner of babies of wealth. These maids carry along pasteurized milk, filtered water, cologne atomizers, meat extract for warm beef tea, breasts of chicken and choicest pieces of beef; gold, ivory and silver tooth and hair brushes and combs; lace handkerchiefs, gloves, shoes, alcohol stoves for warming food, jeweled feeding spoons and an assortment of expensive colored ribbons. These little dogs go about in automobiles, sitting or lying in silk-lined boxes upon pillows of softest down, and are covered with quilts of eiderdown.
