r choice — and thebare hands. To first brush long and well, then rub diligently withthe gloves, and finally with the bare hands, are the secretsof the toilet, and by faithfully applying the principles em-bodied in them cleanliness of the skin can be maintained,the hair stimulated to healthy growth and made to shinelike satin if it is naturally fine. The brush and gloves should be applied the oneway always, and with, not against, the hair, but in usingthe bare hands on dogs which ought to have a bossymuscle, as bull-dogs, bull terriers and greyhounds, thethighs must be rubbed both ways — up as well as down —and afterward the ruffled hair be made right by brushingone way and hand rubbing one way. And lest the readerassume that the use of the bare hands is the least impor-tant of these measures the fact is urged that it is of thefirst importance in putting the coat of a fine-haired dog inprime condition, for by this means only can it be giventhe highest finish and lustre.
