many of these days he did not write at
all. and his average during his work

lead pencil. and he says he can not
think well without his pencil in his
hand. He had slight attack Of pen
paralysis once. and his hand refuses to
act whenever his finger touches the

Hints About Costuming Them From Topic
Too In Dainty Apparel
Dressing dolls is considered delight
full work by some women. These are
the ones who know how to get the
best effect with the smallest amount of
trouble. No little girl enjoys a doll
who can not be dressed and undressed,
and whose clothe, do not resemble
those worn by human ladies and
babies. Tarlatans and cheap silks are
we'll enough for small fancy dolls to be
sold at fairs, but should not be used
upon dolls who are expected to become
members of the family.
To dress a baby-doll about eight
inches long Zone such will cost but
little money and should have real hairy
buy yard of cambria and get some
bright-colored flannel for a little
round cloak or cape. Take piece of
old flannel for little petticoat; make
it ten inches long and twelve wide;
pink the edge with pair of sharp
scissors and put little white cambria
band on the top. Make little CAM
brio shirt out of piece eight inches
long, cutting holes for the arms, edge
the upper part and armlets with lace,
and pin on the doll, then put on the
flannel skirt, make white petticoat Of
the same size. and finish with a little
hem and ruffle of lace or en-
broidery. The dress should have
q yoke, pulled sleeves and be fourteen
inches long from the yoke to the hem.
A pretty way is to trim it with rufae
of lace and add cambria sash Make
. cambria cap fastened with bright
ribbon. and a cape cloak lined with
flannel or silk. Such dressed baby
doll will please any little girl. and if
one has machine it will take but q
few moments to sew the pretty little
garments.
An older doll. one who pretends to be
a girl, should have a colored flannel
petticoat, white skirt, pretty Fam
mel or cashmere dress with buttons, q
little cloak made out of bit of plush
or velvet or cloth and a felt-hat, which
latter can be purchased for five cents.
To make a set of beautiful ermine
