stir up the old bitter feeling, which

the fires of hatred and strife is poor
policy, to say the least. Both tick.

however, and the NEWS desires that
the men best qualified for the diff

do all 1t can to keep down strife aud
bitter feeling, as it has in the past,
and will positively refuse to do any.

break so easy. B'sque dolls are very
nice, but they soon break
She then produced the parts of a doll
which she said were made of compo-
sition which win stand all kinds of
knocking about, but cannot be broken.
The arms and legs had come off be
cause the elastic that held them in
place was of poor quality or had not
been properly secured. The elastic
which she uses is about the thickness
of a lead pencil and is imported from
Germany. This is put in double and
when she has fastened the members of
a doll in place she is willing to warrant
it for ten years. German dolls are fast
ened together with one piece of elastic
which is attached to every member,
but in French dolls each member is Sc
cured independently of the other to a
peg placed in the center of the inside of
the body. g
Dolly's eyes come from Germany, too
and are done up in cotton in boxes of
dozen pairs or so. These eyes are
as complete as any human eyes except
that they are hollow. They are real
eyeballs with pupils and iris and the
rest, and with even place at the back
like the stump of the severed optic
nerve.
A leg or arm comes in two parts be-
sides the hollow balls that serve as
joint at knee, hip. and elbow, and in
the old country where nearly all the
dolls are made, the workmen are kept
making a single part, perhaps for a
life time. For instance, one girl makes
fore-arms, another makes joints, and
| another works on the head, while still
| others fashion the trunk.
Bone teeth for dolls are an invention
of Mrs. Westring's, and it is not at all
uncommon to hear the request on the
part of some little mother to have a
set of false teeth put in her dolly's
mouth. A little red tongue also con-
tributes TO the realism so delightful to
small girls. G.
DO you have many patients at this
time of year?" l asked, not knowing
the season for doll epidemics.
"Oh, yes" replied the matron, "I have
lots of sick babies yust after Christ

, were sold cheap for Christmas presents
and were not well fastened together.

until now il is fiouriShing institution.
Since she opened her hospital. two 9TH
ers have started up in New York city,
but to her belongs the distinction Of
originating the idea and of opening the
first in the United States.
Mrs. Westring is a great favorite
with children and many a fearful lit
tie face has been transformed into one
of beaming sunshine by her kind as
surance to the broken hearted baby
with a broken headed doll that the dol
~ is only sick and can easily be cured
if she will only leave her for day OF
two to be doctored at the hospital.
In her work of restoring sick dolls to
health, Mrs. Westring has an advan-
tage over the managers of like institu-
tions for real people in that she has
stacks and stacks of ready-made limbs
heads, eyes, fngerS-even tongues and
teeth-and does not need to wait for
them to grow or to heal up after she
has mended them.
Cripples in all stages are hung up
and set up on shelves all around the
room where she works, for, of course,
she could not be expected to provide
beds for all her patients. Extra limbs
and arms, and necklaces of socket
joints, or 'yoints' as the little Danish
matron calls them, serve as sort of
decoration for her show window, and
a naked body without head or either
pair of limbs is an uncanny object
when it responds with a hollow sound
to the pulling of the string that is sup
posed to be connected with dolls vo-
cal organs.

of that fraternity of whose members
they are guests.
The gowns which will be worn on
this occasion are the very finest that
their owners possess. A white satin
dress which is being reserved for the
Friday night ball has a unique trim
ming on the skirt, which is worthy of
imitation. It consists of two rows of
tulle ruching put on in V shape in the
front and back of the skirt. In the GEN.
ter of each ruche is a vine of pink rose
buds. The same trimming is repeated
on the bodice around the neck and
shoulders.
A variation on the suspender style Of
decolletage, which will be seen at the
ball which we are discussing, has a
mousseline skirt and bodice, with vel
vet pieces Stimulating a jacket under
each arm. The decolletage is cut heart
shaped in front and the sleeves fall
several inches below the shoulder point
The sleeve puff is almost covered with
wide lace flounce. Around the neck
is a high collar of lace, which looks like
the top of a high-necked dress, but is
cut off in point in front, leaving the
neck and shoulders exposed beneath
From each side OF the neck is suspend
ed a lace strap, which is fastened tc
the top of the bodice in front and black
of the arm. a wide girdle of soft silk
is wound around the waist in surplice
style.
Long, transparent sleeves are being
The morning times., 1897-01-31

worn with many OF the new evening
gowns, but for young girls the soft pun
to the elbow is preferred. The trans
parent sleeves are of shirred mousse
line or chiffon, and they have the ad-
vantage over the shoulder glove in that
they keep their place and do not re-
quire constant attention during the
evening, or careful sewing after they
have been put on, just before the dance
begins
Dancing and concert costumes are
the most important among the dresses
that fill the "Saratogas," which have
already arrived at the scene of gayety
but they are not the only ones to be
provided if a young woman expects to
be popular among the students. There
are fetching street dresses in which she
must appear when she goes out with a
young gallant to see the town. She Will
! find il advantageous to take along
! something in which she can go skating,
and a fur wrap that is warm enough
/ for sleigh rides, for these hospitable
students are untiring in their efforts to
entertain those who please their fancy.
/ With the junior ball, junior week is
! at an end, and the visitors leave with
pleasant memories of long drives in the
wintry air along the shores of the lakes
and of the happy throngs of pleasant
| people whom they have met at the va
rious features of a joyous week. only
| those who have attended some such
/ college festivities can appreciate the
| pleasure of ii all, and none but college
! boys know so well how to make week
vanish so quickly and yet withal so de-
! lightfully. o
Those who have never known such
| ioys are wont to doubt their superior
| ity over ordinary events and are happy
/ in their ignorance, but upon the MEM
ories of those who have is indelibly
stamped a vision of youth and happi-
ness which win penetrate the after
years of life and make all beautiful for
having once partaken of the leaven of
true college spirit.

festivities that fill the entire week.
Junior week at Cornell, which is like
nothing else in the country, begins on
Monday, February l. There is no col
lege event on Monday night, but the
numerous fraternities give receptions to
their fair visitors at their club houses
and prepare the way for a week OF
pleasure. These are somewhat infor-
NAL in their character and are held for
the purpose of giving strangers a
chance TO get acquainted with one an
other, and as an opportunity for the
fraternity members TO show off their
club houses-though, of course, they
wouldn't admit 1t. Ladies wear pretty
dresses, a little gayer than street cos

ticular care in order to make a good
first mpression-though, of course, no
more would they admit that a gown

The proprietor of this unique hospital

her tender care to the mechanical cats

A dying doll with its face painted a
ghastly white lay in a bed, where its

little girl to own such a grewsome pet.
Most dolls come from Yermany,

are made of wood, but the fine French
dolls are made of papier mache, which
is much better, because it does not
