Dolly's Shoes and Stockings.

Nowadays there are fashions in dolls
clothes just the same as there are fash
ions i'll little girls clothes. Dolls shoes
are made i'll very great variety. The
finest OF them come from Paris, the
greatest number from Germany. Some
are made in this country. Some of these
shoes are made of paper which looks like
leather. Some have pasteboard soles and
cloth tops. There are some very cheap
shoes that are all leather, and finer
shoes for dolls are made of leather and
Of satin in various colors, among which
pink, blue, white and black are the
standard. Dolls shoes are made of
patent leather, and there are bronze
shoes and russell shoes and shoes that
are part russell and part patent leather.
There are shoes for all occasions.
Dolls shoes are packed in dozens,
alike and in assorted boxes. The finest
shoes are put up a single pair III a box.
Dolls shoes are made in as many sizes
as there are dolls feet, and they sell at
prices ranging from 8 cents to 81 a pair.
In addition to tie foregoing. the New
York Sun says:
Dolls stockings arc made of silk and
of cotton. some are of lace or openwork.
They are mace in all colors and of
many sizes TO fit any doll. They ST. at
prices ranging from 5 cents 10 IS cents

i'll this country; mere IN Germany than
here.
Many of these little stockings are put
up i'll boxes just like big stockings for
actual Near. Some of them are put up
III dozens, assorted i'll sizes and colors.
Doll fashions follow the fashions for
children. There are sold at present more
doll stockings of black han OF any other
color. Many dolls come nowadays with
shoes and stockings on, but there are
sold, nevertheless, yearly many thou
sands of dolls stockings.

A SUGAR REFINERY.

The continued spell of rainy
weather, with roads almost impass-
able, heavy freezes, season we'll
advanced, with large quantity OF
cane yet in the field, and the stock
almost broken down. the lot of the
Door farmer is hard one, and the
saving of the crop is costly and
wearisome.
What has happened last year
and again this year may we'll be
expected in the future, and with
the tendency everywhere of in
creasing the cane acreage without
q corresponding increase in the
mill capacity will present a seri-
ous condition of affairs the coming
year.
The necessity of large refinery
right in the neighborhood of st.
Martinville is very seriously felt,
and unless our people with the
help of the planters take some
measure to induce capital to en-
gage in refinery here, we may
we'll look for a loss of cane the
coming season.
The railroad people and the re-
fineries do all in their power to
help the planter but the system OF
handling a large crop on the rail-
road is slow, difficult an irregular.
Could not our people band to-
gether in the cooperative system
make one great effort to get q su-
gar refinery? Mr.. Auguste Lee
doux, whose plantation is right
outside of the town limits, on the
Teche with the Southern Pacific
railroad branch passing on his
land; offers to donate free of all
cost, site of 25 acres, all the
land necessary for the railroad
switch and roads, either on the
north or south side of his planta-
ton. This is certainly most IL
beral offer, even large sacrifice,
because the land he offers is very
valuable; bat Mr.. Ledoux under
stands that the cane industry of
this section is doomed unless we
get refinery.
The time is ripe to do some
thing and it must be done quick
in order to harvest the next crop.
Who will take the lead?

We begin to think that the
cane growers will not be better off
that the cotton planter. The light
weight of the cane, the heavy ex-
pense of harvesting, the docking
and cutting down of the price do
the planter up.
