PRETTY DAISY kendall.
The most precious jewel in her collec-
ton was very near me when the Squire
made her bow to an enthusiastic Aneri-
can audience glad to welcome her back,
and that was the golden-haired girl
whom Mrs. Kendall called Daisy but
who is, to the rest of the world, known
as Miss Grimston. An English girl Of
seventeen is one of the most charming
beings in the world, and to Mrs
Kendal's daughter the charm would
come by inheritance if she didn't possess
it her very self That night ii was de-

see the expression of interest, but The
intense delight and the proper pride
when she knew how really and thor
oughly New Workers like the Kendals.
And last of all when her father made q
little speech, in answer to the many
calls for it, there was a look of amuse-
ment on the girls face, tempered with
little bit of nervousness, for she knows
he is by nature shy man and that

TO him. However, he went through the
ordeal SO bravely that the proud lock
quickly came in place of the nervous

FAMOUS WOMEN WHO WILL DRESS
DOLLS.
They are going to be grouped by well
known artists, the exhibition will be in
the concert room of the Madison SQUARE
Garden, and Mr.. Billy Florence will
auctioneer off the young ladies. All
you have got to do if you want to dress
a doll is to write and ask that one will
be sent you, and Mrs. Percy, one of the
prettiest as well as one of the brightest
New York literary women, will send
you just the sort of baby that you want

down the chimney does not always do.
Mrs. Gladstone is to send a doll, SO is
Ellen Ferry, and the Duchesse d UZes--
Mrs. Kendall will dress one, SO will
Fanny Davenport, Minnie Palmer,
Agnes Huntington, and no end of fash

given for the most unique, the best
dressed, and the doll whose clothes are
best sewed, the object in this last being
to encourage hand, rather than machine

gown was made of boiling cloth hand
painted with yellow and purple panses,
the bodice was decorated in the same
way, and the little bonnet on its head |
was large purple pansy demurely tied |
under its chin. On its hands were white |

the fluwers that she so successfully imi-
tated. It's good thing to have women
do this bit of sewing required to dress a |
doll, because every stitch means little |
