THEY WANTED THE DOLLS.

Sick Women in London HoapitaJ Well
 come the Children's Playtoys
 Margaret Bottome In Heart to Heart Talks" in the January Ladies' Home Journal relates this pathetic incident of her minstrat lions to the sick: "Just be- fore left for Europe last summer great box came 10 me filled with dolls, all dressed, and the request came with it that l should have them sent to a chill dren's hospital There is a hospital in the city of New York for consumptive children, as well as for older people with the disease, and I gave the dolls to- physician who is connected with that hospital. He said afterward he wished could have seen the children troopiIg to- ward him, each carrying a doll But the most touching thing to me was what tho nurse told the doctor, that after every child was furnished with a doll there were a number left. and the poor women dying with consumption asked If each might have doll. They all wanted them, and to each doll was given, and the nurse said she could not have dreamed of their being such a comfort to those poor, sick women. There were just enough dolls for each to have one. An who can tell the thoughts they had of earlier days when they took little wee one close to their heart, as they now took those dolls"

F'RII.Ls AND FASHIONS.

Indeed, so much is the rage for gems that in Paris fine women are taking to wearing one or more splendid rings out side the glove. But this fashion, the saints be praised, has not yet reached this country.

Black velvet forms the bodice, which fastens diagonally the square rever tabs of the round neck being yellow satin, under black guipure; basques, that cover the hips only are attached to a separate belt.

Charming Co,larettes.

The handkerchief collars consist of a double straight band of batiste or fine lawn, with four corners sewed on the top and turned over on the outside, leav- ing a division at the center, back and front. The corners are of batiste tucked on the edge, plain in the center, with a row of Valenciennes lace inlaid between. The four corners of a fine openwork handkerchief could be taken for this purpose Sometimes a band of ribbon is fitted around the lawn band and tied in bow at the back; otherwise the band Is worn inside of a high dress collar, with the points falling outside over the edges of the collar

Lions Like Cards.

Three young men at Bourg, in France, announced their desire to prove their courage by playing a game of cards in the cage in menagerie which contained three lions. They had begun their game when one of the lions came up and cuffed a player, knocking him to the floor of the cage, and then took several bites out of him. The lion tanners inter fered just in time to save the rest of the card players from annihilation, and the man who was bitten declared he had had all the amusement that he required for the day. The lions roared satrcally at the frightened men as they left the cage.

Britons Like Matrimony.

There will soon be no old maids in Eng land. The marriage rate there is in- creasing by leaps and bounds The build CTS of suburban villas declare they can scarcely meet the demand for these smart "eligible residences" and the re- turns from Somerset house for the last quarter show that the number of couples married exceeded the average of the past ten years. Reduced to plain figures, the matrimonial market list tells us that no less than sixteen out of every thousand of the population are marrying. Girls what do you say? Let us migrate.

Odd Ribbons.

Ribbons are to be extremely fashion able next year, and already they are be- ing put to new purposes in the way of trimming for evening and other smart dresses, while at the same time mill liners are once more resorting to them. It is principally owing to the sudden re- action in favor of a simpler style of hat for ordinary wear that ribbons are to the fore again at the milliner's. For the sailor-shaped silk hat and the smooth felt Amazon hat turned up at the side ribbon trimmings are required to com pose the decoration, with the addition of quill or cock plumes. or sometimes large bunch of flowers. The ribbon Is banded round the crown and arranged in simple bows of fittings on one side.
