The Ladies of the Episcopal
Church Will Give Away Two
Costly Dolls

The center of attraction on Bridge
street today is the beautiful doll, the
Belle of Humboldt county" as she
has been christened, that graces the
display window of NJ. Hofman's store.
Admiring crowds that included others
than the children have stood about
the window and looked at the Belle
and her maid and judging by the in
terest already aroused, the contest
which is to decide who will be the
owner of the dolls after the evening
Of December IL, will be a spirited one.
The principal figure in the window
is a. handsome, lifelike doll with clos
ing eyes and real, golden hair; she is
nearly thirty inches in height. and is
dressed in a stylish and elegant street
costume. The dress is made of silk
MULE over light green silk, and is
made according to the very latest
style. Her cloak is of white broad
cloth, trimmed with marten and chif-
fon. Her hat is a perfect dream"
50 the little ones declare, and is a
med with valenciennes lace and a
long white plume. The little lady's
maid is also a pretty doll, appropria-
tely dressed as becomes one in her
station, and forms a pleasing con-
trast to the big doll.
These objects of childish wonder
and admiration have been prepared
oy the ladies of the Episcopal church.
and are to be presented on the even
ing of December IL, at the bazaar
which the ladies will hold on that
evening in Armory hall, to the most
ty, as shown by the number of votes
cast previous to that time. The con-
test is limited to girls not less than

sale at cents each, and may be OBJ
tained from Mrs. G.. S. Nixon; a lit
tie later on these will also be offered
by a number of others, and before the
contest closes everybody in the coun-

ed for that purpose in the postoffice;
