after year. Buy up a dozen or more of
nFe ana ten-cent dolls and to add to the
variety have among the number some Jap-

represent fairies in bright hues OF spangled
sauze, tarlatan or tissue paper and liberal
ly sprinkle their hair and garments with
diamond-dust powder. Each doll should be
provided with dainty pair Of fairy wings
haue from spangled tissue paper and
fastened to the body by means of concealed
wires. These wires should be coiled TO
OBTAIN motion in the wings, and nothing
peter can be used than the fins spiral coils
that come out Of worn-out wire-stitched
prooms The least motion will set this
spiral 10 quivering, causing the wings to
move as II In flight In like manner use
the spiral wire to attach thu dolls in hover
ing positions over and around the tree.
Inc effect is magical; every footstep
causes jar enough to start the dolls dane
Ing ana clrcling above and around the tree

come down to join the Christmas glee.

The Inxalid,s PILLOW.

From the Woman's Home Companion,
A small fluffy pillow which can be rolled
into any shape is a great comfort on top
of a large pillow or bolster, and may be
made to flt closely to the aching point. A
frequent careful punching from the sides
leaves them fluffy and soft again, and this
beating of the pillows may be done quite
effectively In a quiet manner. A noisy
stirring action 10 sometimes more trying
to a weak person than hard pillows.

A Wanghee Hook.

AA'AA AA"iPei oo@oi' =
One Of the most useful adjuncts TO the
dressing room or bath room is a hook for
clothes. The inexpensive "wanghee'' cane,
so popular during recent summers makes a
very unique hook. The cane may be sawed
off foot from the handle and then nailed
reyersely to the frame Of a door or the wall
of closet. The large sweep Of the curved
handle makes the hook very roomy one,
especially adapted for towels In use.. The
remaining portion of the cane can be swung
across the washstand for the accommoda-
ton of wash cloths.
Any broken or cast-aside cane may be re-
stored to usefulness in this manner, but
these light bamboo sticks are most service
able when the articles hung on them are
apt to be wet. When the tip OF the cane Is
ornamented with silver or horn the hook
becomes decorative rs we'll as useful.

observe the solemn days and requested him to grant
leave of absence to all Jewish soldiers now in camp

ZEITIIN.
BY Il. zEITLIN.

SlgN tiers has probably always existed among Jews
The Mishnah and the Talmud have laid it
down law, since the Jewish woman being dis
qualified to inherit would find it difficult to marry
without dowry! According to the Mosaic code a
was not disqualified to inherit excepting
when there male descendants but to insure her
independence the dowry became of paramount i'm
portance. The Talmud, which endeavors, as much
possible, to establish its pronouncements upon
Biblical basis, has not in this instance failed to find
text which favors it's views the latter of dowry
The Talmud adduces text from Jeremiah which cor
responds, though indirectly, with it's judgment
There is positive text in the Bible which ia
the dctum of the rabbs, which establishes the
antiquity the ncontestabe business and the duty of
the father to endow the daughter. The daughter Of
Caleb, who married to the valorous Othnel, the
first of Israels judges received from her father,
the occasion of her marriage certain lands, which,
according to the estimation of her husband, too
dry, and who at the instigation of the latter, de-
manded certain neghboring sources, which Othniel
granted. These lands and springs assuredly
naught else but the marriage portion which Othniel
accorded his daughter. The Talmud, actuated by
this precedent, has made the endowment of daugh-
tiers legal duty sacred obligation. The young
maiden has right to minimum dowry OF so zuz.
If the father be too poor the obligation devolves
upon the public fund for the assistance of the poor
If the father be dead his nheritors have to supply
the dowry. The right OF the daughter to a doWry
takes precedence Of all rights of heritage, Of the
mothers fortune, in favor of her male children,
which is the exclusive guarantee of the male against
any adverse happening The dowry is of SO consd
cradle Importance that the sons, with all their pre-
cedence not allowed to enjoy the fortune of any
heritage, whether of father mother, without hav-
ing previously assured the dowry of the sister.
Ketouba is the term which the Talmud EMPLOYS
to designate the act irrevocably binding, by writing
down, of the promises made by the husband to the
wife on the occasion of their marriage The KetOuba
which is traceabe to the earliest epoch of the Mshna
consists of the following nine clauses First, the pro-
mise of the husband to honor his wife to provide for
all her wants, according to his best and abl-
ity and in the event of her being captive, to
som her. Great stress has been laid by the Talmud
