Startling Scarf Pins

A member of one of the uptown clubs caused something of a sensation in the smoking room of his club a few nights ago. As he joined a group of gentlemen it was noticed that he wore a unique pin in his scarf. It was a large dog's head made of oxidized silver. Its eyes were tiny diamonds and its mouth was red enamel. While. the wearer's friends were loolring at the pin and commenting upon it the red inouth of the silver dog opened and a succession of sharp barks issued therefrom. Tlie effect was startling at first, but aa the barking continned several members of the club pressed about the owner of the pin, curióos to examine "the new trick." The wearer of the decoration, after enjoying the sensation that he had created for a while, nnbuttoned his waistcoat and disclosed a long rubber tube attaclied to the pin on the under side of the scarf. The tube extended down into one of the pockets of the gentleman's trousers, terminating in a rubber bulb. By repeatedly pinching this bulb the wearer of the pin was able to cause the sounds to issue from the dog's mouth. These trick pins are among the novelties on the counters of jewelry and haberdashery establishments. Thera are various designs, such as dogs' heads, cats' heads, crying babies, bicycles with revolving wheels and bugles that blow. -
