animal making families make nothing but
animals.
And there are homes in which whole fam
lilies engage in the making Of animals that
are to be covered in some way. perhaps with
fur or with fleece; as for instance sheep.
Some such are made in factories, others in
homes; and IN he homes where these are
made the whole family gathers around the
table, zach doing some part Of the work.
Perhaps one may fashion on the head

animal a more perfect finish; another may
paint the eyes. One especially competent
for such work may cut out the coverings
that are to go on the body, another glue

The usual painted portrait is always a

In this Instance an enlarge nent had to be

from which the final print was made.
Again. the costly photograph is taking
the place OF the painted portrait for the
adornment Of club houses and the head
quarters OF many organizations whore il is
customary to use series Of the presidents,

high priced photograph in the world where
money is no object is as a special gift in
the intimacy of the family circle.

In this part Of Germany there are wood
turner's who make a business OF supplying
to home toy makers what are called animal
rings. these being rings OF wood from
each Of which many animals can he cut.
The ringmaker outs from the end of a stick

FOR HIGH NECKED BEAUTY
TwENTY-FOUR WOMEN WHO WON'T
WEAR DECOLLETE GOWNS.

The Efforts OF the PhllocallAn club Not
Likely 20 Reach the metropolitan
Opera Boxes, Though -LOw Necked
FrOcks I'm New York and London
The question Of the low necked gown has
received fresh attention inc the organ
ization Of the PhilOcalian Club a few weeks
ago. The Philocalian Club-the name
means Love OF the beautiful'-ha a mem
bership OF twenty-Four women. all but
four OF whom are married.
Its efforts, says the president. DR., AIDE
laide Wallerstein, will be directed against
factors which end to demoraIize society.
and its work will include more practising
than preaching. Among the things of
which he club hoes not approve are the
low necked gown. the cocktail, the hanson
and after theatre suppers.
The twenty-four members have pledged
themselves never to appear in public wear
ing a bodice cut lower han the collarbone.
IL is this circumstance in particular which
has brought fame to the club. But for
that. the new organization would probably
not lave been heard OF outside Of the
circle Of its members and their friends.
So far as Is known no member OF the Phi
localian Club owns an opera box in the Met
ropolitan's horseshoe. For this reason 10
IL predicted by some that the clubs infiu-
ence will not be so great az IL might be.
Let twenty-four women, say these prophets.
appear some night in their opera boxes

gowns would at ono appear on the slate
OF fashion for evening wear.
But that his is not likely TO happen very
soon was made clear by an operagoer whose
gowns are among the most exquisite seen

is saying much. Indeed such an end is

ingP Only an extremely pretty or a very

As a matter OF fact, il is only within a
very fow years that New Workers have
ceased to be provincial in the matter Of
evening dress. Women who have travelled
much know this.
