Thirty Million Toys Consumed Annually
in the United States.
There are 15,O0O,O00 children in the
United States, each one of whom con.
sumes at least two toys year. These
toys laid together would form a belt
reaching from New York to San Fran
cisco. The making Of them is huge
Industry IN which the factors are ma-
chine, men, and women. The machines
do the hard labor. the men attend to
the mechanical part, and the women
add the artistic elements and put on
the finishing touches New York City
is the most important centre Of the
trade, and is supposed TO turn out near
ly one-half Of all the toys made in the
United States. The work is irregular,
being at a maximum from July to No
vember. and at a minimum from
Christmas to April. A few toys arc
made exclusively by women. These
include several varieties of dolls, pa.
per figures, Chrlstmas-tree decorations,
toy flowers, and dolls trousseaux.
With such toys as patent dolls, dolls
houses and kitchens, Noahs arks, and
the cheaper mechanical affairs, the
work is very evenly divided between
the sexes Strange to say, women sci.
dom, if ever, succeed with mechanical
toys. On the other hand, 1t is just as
rare for men to master the art of put
ting on n dolls complexion or coloring
a wooden COW so as to please the juv.
emile heart.
The trade was formerly very un.
healthful, but so many have been the
Improvements Of late years that most
of the former drawbacks have passed
away. The workrooms are well ven.
tilated and lighted, and the accom-.
modations praiseworthy. About one.
third Of all the work is done at home.
This is particularly the case with dolls
raiment creations in paper, cloth,
and linsel, and the coloring Of dolls
faces, The wages paid differ greatly.
Each shop or factory has its own sys
TEN. In factories wages vary with the
skill Of the operator, and run from So
to SS a week. The more common prac-
tice is to pay by the piece. When this
is done the operatives income runs
from fifty cents to as high as 50 a
day, and averages about eighty-hve
cents a day.-New York Commercial

House Gowns Tor Winter Wear.

Gowns to wear in the house are so
essentially feminine and dainty this
season it is small wonder that much
time, thought and expense are eH.
pended on them. They are so different
from the street costumes and allow for
so much more exercise of individual
taste that women take an especial in.
terest in them. They are not neces.
sarily expensive especially this year.
In this respect they differ from the
street gowns, which call for perfection
Of workmanship as well as good fit.
House gowns, the term as used this
time, including tea gowns, include the
gowns that are worn in the house or
that are smart enough TO wear to an
afternoon reception or TO the theatre,
but are too elaborate in design or too
light in color OF texture for street
wear. A very good model for one OF
these gowns is made with a long skirt
and has no trimming whatever, but in
front and at the sides are rows of
narrow tucks put in to form a yoke
shape, stitched down so that they give
no unnecessary fulness, and yet make
the skirt hang well With this skirt
is worn a smart blouse Of lace or sat
in, embroidered net, jetted or spangled,
and with a basque that is longer 10
front than back, A yoke of tucked
chiffon aud Jet embroidery, and a belt
and sash Of chiffon, add to the soft
effect Of the gown, while the under.
sleeves Of chiffon are gathered into a
band Of embroidery at the wrist

A Hint to the FURNITURE Buyer.

In buying furniture for any part Of
the house many things are to be con-
sidered. Expense is only one Of the
issues, If service is limited, that
which has little or no ornamentation
is most suitable, because there will be
a great saving of time in busting and
caring for It, Dainty china can be
bought in the cheaper wares, and
many a heartache will be spared ic
this and not the costly pieces are brok-
en-. Hours are spent In wearisome,
nerve racking shopping where minutes
would suffice were proper thought CIV
en- to the needed articles, and careful
lists made out beforehand Elaborate
household equipments in any depart
ment mean time, strength and money
to keep in repair. Where these are not
proportioned to the means, shoddiness
and shabbiness are sure to ensue.

One wants to avoid making a "spot'
Of a plaster cast. One small cast on
a dark wall with nothing about it In
the way of pictures or books would ho
apt to prove the only visible thing in a
room. On the other hand, when a
cast is large and important, II may be
treated with the dignity that one oh
serves in hanging pictures. There Is,
for example, that famous group Of
Singing Boys" by Luca della Robbia,
in bass-relief, from the lunette of the
doors leading into the sacristy Of the
DuomO at Florence. This deserves a
place to itself over a mantel-plece, or
a panel at one side Of the room may
be given to it. SO, too, many Of tho
Madonnas, always in bass-relief, may
be treated as one would treat pictures.

White chiffon with gold thread ana

Special favor Is shown to black in
gowns, costumes, cloth and velvet

OF all the skirts that have made
their appearance this Sc son there is
none more popular than the skirt cut
with the large, deep, shaped 6ounces.
Colored wells dotted with chenille in
a yermicelli pattern are one of the
winters fancies, and brown to match
the hair, worn with a brown gown, is
especially chic.
The new khaki tlnts are almost con.

that by next fall it will supersede ali
other tints in vogue.
Triple shoulder-capes are a feature
Of many Of the three-quarter or full
length wraps Of the season, the edges
finished yariOusly with a narrow band
of stitched cloth or velvet, a tiny roll
Of fur, or three rows Of fine gold braid.

cups, where the polished top of the

out Of date, as the heavy blanketing
used under the table cloth at meals
sufficiently protects it from hot dishes.
DO not allow table linen to freeze

South American Women.

women in the highest regard Not
only 10 they accord them distinction

they bear for them every burden that
man can carry for women. The cbiv.
airy OF the olden times survives among
these people, and that is doubtless one
reason why the women are so con
tented with their lot. A charming
woman assured a writer contributing
to the Woman's Home Companion that

best wives i'm the world. After mar.

fashioned indeed. Now, the positions
are reversed; the only stylish envelope
is oblong and the square shape quite
passe. Two sizes of oblong envelope
are de rigueur-one, the smaller, for
notes, is about three inches wide and
Ave long. The larger style, for letters
and mostly used by men for all their
correspondence, is about three and
three-quarter inches wide by five and
three.quarter long. This difference OF
