Details

The leather braided leash is nice.

Top Dog

I think the rule should be: No hats allowed larger than your dog.

Bogota Model

Mrs. Morgan and her Pomeranian, "Bogota Model," apparently won no ribbons, however this photo did merit publication in the Post. Perhaps it was the hat.

Dogs Bring Triumphs

Proud Owners at Show See Their Ribbon Winners Decorated.

The Washington Kennel Club, on the occasion of the third annual exhibit of fancy bred dogs, entertained a capacity audience yesterday at the show rooms of the old Walker-Hughes market, 1123-1125 Connecticut avenue northwest. Many ladies prominent in social and diplomatic circles were on hand to exhibit their pets. Especially fine was the exhibit of pomeranians, collies, all classes of terriers, bull dogs, Boston bulls, St. Bernards, great Danes, dashunds and spaniels.

Millinery garnitures

I don't understand the hat-bow statement--is it meant to be tongue-in-cheek? This photo is from 1915. Millinery fashion reacts to this wide scale of hat by contracting into the tiny, close-fitting cloches of the 1920s and the small perched skullcaps and wartime hats of the 1930s and 40s. The large bows of the 1950s are part of the overall scale expansion that came along with post-War excess and the New Look silhouette. They didn't "come from" hats of this sort.

My Humble Chapeau

Wow, the width of that bow shows us from whence the gargantuan bows of the fifties came.

So cute.

The shamrock on the nose is just too too much!
