 l The wonderful doll Show now being | held in the millinery department of the | Edward Malley store is attracting the attention of thousands of people, both young and old. There are over two | hundred dolls of all kinds, sizes and character The bride, the nun, the golf girl, the shopper the ballet dancer and | the Bowery girl, all have their place of | prominence.
 The costumes this year are exceed ingly stylish and some of the dresses look as though they had just come from the tailor, and the character dolls are exceedingly well got up.
 It Is the annual doll show held at the Big Store" and each year larger and
 more enthusiastic number of onlookers visit dolldom. Light and dark haired
 dolls, tall and short dolls, stout and
 thin dolls, pretty and homely dolls, and
 in fact, every kind of a doll, are includ-
 ed in the large assortment. The up-to-
 date dolls, made of bisque, are of course
 in the great majority, but there are a
 number of rag dolls and few made of
 old wax.
 There is one quaint old maid-looking
 doll that is forty-five years old, and
 notwithstanding her advanced age she
 seems just as young as those only a
 year old. This old doll is very prettily
 dressed, according to the old Quaker
 fashion.
 Standing alongside of the Quaker doll
 is one who looks every bit of her age,
 forty-three, and who has done consid-
 erable travelling during her life. This
 doll has exhibited in three states, Con- necticut, Kansas and in Denver, Col, and has probably had more actual ex-
 perience than any of Her associates. This ones name is Jeannette Brainard and belongs to Miss Irene Branard of 53 Stevens street.
 Liz, the Bowery Girl" could give points to many stage aspirants to tough girl honors in the line of posing and ex- presson, and her costume is we'll se- lected.
 Other character dolls that are attract ing more or less attention are the Mrs. ODooley'' the washerwoman; the "Old Leather Man" Marjorie Daw' and rag doll in the shape of an old rounder so well got up that it looks as though it never heard of the word sleep.
 The swell' dolls are very pretty and make one of the prettiest collections ever seen in tffis vicinity. Hundreds of little girls were flocking about the show cases nearly all day yesterday with open and giving vent to their feelings with peculiar expressions. Two poor little girls, evidently from Oak street were especially funny and were follow ed around with great intent. On reach Ing the case that contained the prize dolls and other selected ones one of the | little girls said to the other "Ain't | -hem sweet?" My" said the other, T wish Katie cud see dem."
 Proceeding around a little further and | coming to where the character dolls | were on exhibition, the fret one said in l l whisper, Say, look at de tough goil l should t'ink she'd be ashamed of her. self, wouldn' you, Mame?' Nav. I'd | De proud of meself if I wuz her" This seemed to have a bad effect on the first | girl, who said nothing more until they cached the case where several sisters If mercy were shown. Then she said; Say, Ella, wot are dem t'ings all in JldCk, WlL uulIlIl Dul liltII eytc', iloSe md mouth showin'?'
