ButtonhoIes and embroidery are as
carefully done by hand as II the gown

clothes complete the expense. The
lace trimmed brass bed in which the
real lady doll sleeps may cost nifty
dollars. The gas stove that goes with
her menage, equipped with utensils
foF a child TO do real cooking, may be
from sixteen to twenty dollars, which
is a bewildering price when It Is
known that there are adult gas stoves
at six dollars! An English perambula.
tor at twenty dollars costs as much
as a baby carriage. Or a tiny landau
upholstered In blue satin may be had
for twenty-five dollars and a little

But there are others with parquet
