designer Turns
Dog'
l's Life Into
Mink-Lined Luxury
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York 'U.R! More peo-ple.-.should
lead a dog's life
Especially that of a city, slicker
mutt.
These pampered pooches go to
finishing school to learn their
sidewalk manners, have their
own beauty shops for cutting,
curbing and pawdicuring, gnaw
only on bones from prime cuts
of beef, and even have their own
clothes jJesigners to keep them
on dogm's best-dessed list.
One .such designer is Dorothy
Dorn, who spends her days with
dogs and her evenings with
musical drama.
A native of Australia and now
Q United States citizen, Miss
Dorn became a designer because
she needed money to help un
derwrite her dramatic and voice
studies.
Opera Singer
Through friends, she met the
wife of one of the executives at
Hammacher Schlemmer and
heard ofLan opening in the dog
apparel department. She has
been there since.
A coloratura, Miss Dorn also
is a member of the Amato Opera
coinpany in Greenwich Village.
Well, the two jobs do have a
connection," Miss Dorn laughted-
"Some owners declare their dogs
can sing.."
Her newest fashions for fido
. range from a felt walking coat
J for daytime wear to a mink-
trimmed velvet evening cwrap
and rhinestone earrings for
dress-up occasions.
She said earrings are a- "first,"
although for years she and other
designers have bejewellecfc dog
collarsnd other apparel.
The earrings are circlets which
fit at the base of the mutt's ears
and are held on by clips. If the
owner or the dog doesn't like
the earrings, they can be used
like a bow as decoration for the
dog's topknot. This treatment
works best with French poodles
who have top-knots.
$7 to $75
Miss Dorn also has designed
a black tuxedo, worn with
notched white tie; a gold lame
evening coat; a brocade coat
with brimmed hat, decorated
with beads and pearls; and a
vivid red taffeta coat with jewel
led embroidery on a full, stand
away collar.
The dog fashions cost any
where from $7 for the earrings
to $75 for the lame coat.
Lots of red in Miss Dorn's ca
nine costumes.
"All dogs love red," she said.
"They don't like navy blue or
violet."
Through her years of dealing
with pooches and people, she has
reached some interesting con
clusions about both.
She said a dog's personality
usually reflecta that of his
owner.
"A neurotic woman invariably
owns a neurotic dog," she said.
"Some owners drive their dogs
nuts."
Sheas decided other owners
lavish every luxury on their
"pets for the same reason some
men buy their wives mink coats.
"It's to show the world how
prosperous they are."
Others pamper their dog be
cause it is the 'only member of
the household who take affection
and gives it in return.
"Which," she said, "is more
than you can say of some hus
bands. ... or wis."

Male Shoppers Pampered;
Most Women Like to Look
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.PJ A pretty
girl delicately steered the man
to an overstuffed chair and a
whitecoated gent bent down to
inquires "Something to drink?"
This was Christmas shopping,
man style.
A woman peered over the
swinging doors that led to this
glittering male sanctuary in the
center of a Fifth Avenue wom
en's store and pouted.
"All that good ' will toward
men." she muttered, "while I'm
out here walking my feet off to
do my Christmas shopping."
She took a deep breath, turned
her back on this scene of peace
ful shopping and disappeared in
an impatient crowd of women
eying for the attentions of an
irritated sales girl. ,
That was Christmas shopping,
woman-style.
Men can buy women Christ
mas gifts in a half a dozen rest
ful "For Men Only" shops in
Fifth Avenue stores which offer
hot coffee or icy martinis along
with frank pampering of the
male shopper.
Shop Around
Women stand and wait. They
"shop around" from one part
of a store to another while sales
girls scurry to the same depart
ments to fill the gift list of that
happy creature, the man in the
overstuffed chair.
Doesn't seem fair. But we
asked for it, the stores say.
Women have been offered the
same sit-down shopping service
in men's departments of Fifth
Avenue stores. But "For Women
Only" shops have flopped.
j, "Let's face it," one store sup
ervisor said. "Women simply
don't think the way men do when
they go shopping. Women like
to poke around for themselves.
If they are forced to sit in a
chair while you bring them a
few different styles of something
they suggested they can't help
feeling suspicious. They feel if
they had the chance to go out
and look around they might find
something they'd like better."
Men More Trusting
Men are more trusting. Be
sides they like to sit there and
watch certain gift items modelled
by pretty girls. A lot of wives
get negligees that way.. They
are the most popular gifts, one
"Men Only" salesgirl said.
Men can' spend from $2.00 to
$2000 without budging from the
easy chair. Generally the gifts
bought in these soothing sur
roundings are expensive, since
men become expansive with all
that feminine attention.
" One "Men Only" shop has a
black lace and pink marquisette
negligee and nightgown set for
$50 and a purse with a built-in
radio for $107.

There also is a convenient $6
gift for the man who is stall pay
ing for the mink stole he gave
his wife last year. It is a stole
hanger-padded pink velvet.
