and has not had time to change her
mind. He should remain in an attitude

implication that his heart Is broken
and his life ruined, gratefully accept
ing the position Of friend, which she Is
quite certain to offer him-she always
wants to be either his friend or his sis
ter when she won't be his wife. That
only shows that she can't bear to lose
him altogether. By-and-bye, when con-
fidential terms are re-established and
she has grown to feel it would be diff
cult to get on without his friendship,
let him begin cautiously paying little
attention to some other girl. He must
be as brotherly to herself as before.
Then, when he has worked up her feel
ings to the proper hitch, let him gently
say: "Of course, Annie. il there were
even the very faintest hope that you
could ever. in no matter how long a

FUN FOR YOUNG FOLK.

A Doll Party IL Great Sport and Offers
Wide Field.
Parents too often forget that they
were once young and liked amusement.
A mother OF my acquaintance, with a
house full of young people, is shining
instance of one who remembers. She
lately gave unique party which was
most successful affair. The invitations
were sent by little Chinese and Japan
ese dolls, of the kind sold on the street
at two for s cents, which arc already
dressed in gay ornamental garments OF
paper. In the sash a tiny envelope was
thrust, addressed to the person to whom
the doll was sent and containing an in
vitation to a doll party, the receiver be-
ing requested to come in costume
personating a doll of some sort. One
of the most amusing features of the
evening, was row of paper dolls,
dressed in white and leaning against
the wall, with hands joined. To do this
well one must contrive to drive every
bit of expression from the face, and by
the aid of powder to assume CHASTITY
complexion. An ingenious costume of
gray Jaeger underwear, drawn over the
shoes and stockings and sleeves, with
short skirt and waist of gray silesia
made very good rubber doll, but the
belle of the evening was turbaned
black Dinah. OF course, in most cases
masks are worn, but these can be dis
pensed with early in the evening.

| town the invitation dolls were delivered

The custom of wearing gloves is very
ancient, but their use was not common
among all classes until the middle ages,
when gloves became a necessary part
of the costume of both men and
women. At that period gloves were
often embroidered with gold and sill
yer, and richly ornamented with jewels.
They were then used as symbols OF
many things. A knight would wear a
glove, spangled with pearls, fastened
on his helmet, at a tournament, as a
sign of favor from some fair lady; to
throw down the glove at the feet Of
rival was considered challenge to
fight duel; and other Specifications
were familiar to the people of those
days. The manufacture of gloves is
one of the most important industries of
Europe at the present time. 1t is es-
timated that no less than 10000 doz-
en- pairs of gloves are made annually,
and in the town Of Grenoble. in France.
this work alone gives employment to
81, 900 people. The above estimate does
not include the vast quantities Of ordi-
nary woven gloves of cotton, silk or
other fabrics. but only those made OF
fine skins.-New York Times.

All animals, from ants up to whales
