"DOG GATES,"
Slyfield Manor, Leatherhead, Surrey.
These gates were very common in country houses in the days of Queen Elizabeth, but there are not many to be seen to-day. Dogs know how to behave now, and there is no need for them.
As their name implies, the gates were used to keep the dogs of the house from wandering upstairs into bedrooms and other places where they had no right.
But many people like to hear their dogs scratching at the door in the morning.
The gates shown in our photograph are in excellent condition. They were photographed by Mr. S. H. Wrightson, of Aldershot.
