The Cost of Pampered Dogs

The "Christian Herald" tells us of a well-known wealthy woman going to a first-class hotel in New York, engaging a suite of four rooms and three baths,—a living room, a room and bath for herself, the same for her maids, and a room and bath for her "babies,"—three dogs, a Pekingese and two Japanese spaniels. They are bathed in perfumed water, fed on cream toast and lamb chops, chicken, ice-cream, etc., etc. Their fare is $10.00 a day, or $3,650 a year. Then think of the real human babies who are dying of want!
