the one before whom it stops Some men become
very expert in sending the doll round the table, and
the game goes on for hours.
The Chinese are extremely clever in the
facture and use OF pantomime dolls and puppet plays
The shadow dolls, made of donkey skin, are perhaps
the most curious These are shown by the aid OF
sheet and dark lantern The heads of various
native types while the bodies represent every living
man. The work these is very fine and much time
is expended their manufacture. The shadow dolls
are fiat, while the puppets have round heads and
more semblance of bodies. For the most part the
puppet bodies are various lengths of bamboo, with
shorter and smaller pieces fastened to the upper
part like cross for arms. The heads are adjustable
and the dolls play many parts simply by having
their heads changed to suit the different characters
of oden times with their gods and goddesses. Every
class is found in the market correctly costumed
Missionaries and travellers of long ago have spoken
of the marvellous anatomy of the Japanese doll. In
this respect they are the most reharkaDIe uonS Ill
the world
Many of the children of Japan to-day affect the
European dolls and reegate their own artistic crea
tions to the background 1t is perhaps only natural
that the children like their elders should reach
for the new and strange, but it saddens one to
the picturesque and artistic hand made things laid
aside for tlR million alike machine made articles of
modern life.
The Japanese like other orientals, have an
nualy recurring doll fete day, which to the little
madens of Nippon is the day of all the year. and
they send finely engraved invitations with their
own monograms This occurs in the early spring and
great preparations are made for it, The markets
full of dolls. Hundreds and thousands of them stare
one in the face at every turn. Dolls bought and
given away with more generosity than we give them
at Christmas
There is a curious doll inheritance in Japan which
is very interesting When a girl baby is born her
parents buy for her what is called "hina." This
consists of the figures of the Afkado and his wife

Old dolls this kind represent gods of the neither
world Those of to-day painted TO represent royal
or other famous personages. From India we have
a rajah and his wife in correct costuming. From
Japan we have Daimios and Samuris.
In China the common doll of this sort represents
the Emperor or some member Of his family That
decoration of distinction the peacock feather and the
curious characters each side of the cap supposed
to insure all kinds of good luck, are exact copies OF
the original even to the small fan that is fastened
to the belt and which wagges in grotesque man
ner as the doll makes his several attempts to right
himself
The story connected with this special doll is that he
is used to play after dinner game in the homes
of the high class Ceestals When the dinner has
been eaten and the gentlemen sitting over their
"walnuts and wine" 1t were, the Boy brings
in the doll and places it before the host who sets

When the sorrowng mother and father of ancient
Egypt laid away the little body of their child they
put into the grave doll so that in the life to come
the baby fingers would clasp again the cherished
playthng. How pathetic this tender belief seems to
us when through the dust of centuries, we find these
quaint queer little dolls!
The oldest translated records of Japan and China
show that the earliest dolls represented gods; later
they were made in the image OF priests ana alter
that they represented royalty

NV 7 nobody really knows In spite of the usually
VA accepted idea that dolls were created 10
wv satisfy the maternal instinct of child, those
who have made an exhaustive study of the
subject believe the first doll had ecclesiastical
origin that it was used in religious ceremonies to the
gods symbols of the gods themselves probably III
the religion that preceded Brahmansm possibly IN an
earlier one than that .
India the wonderland of the world, undoubtedly
produced the first DOLL in the cradle of civilization the

Malaga Mountains Her husband in turn became Jea-

He enamoured of the doll and gave it life and
we well imagine what happened in that home

Mechanical toys were common playthings at the
time and talking and waking dolls not unusual
although the talking was done by talking starting
that had been placed within the dolls body, and the
walking doll perambuated by a much more clumsy
mechanical device than the walking dolls of to-day.
From the earliest specimens of dolls extant-those
exhumed from Egyptian tombs having from one to
four thousands years to their credit-to the hamboy
ant petted modern beauty is far cry.
But in spite OF the silence that must necessarily
span certain unexpored periods we have data enough
to get fairly connected story Legend and folklore
have contributed large amount of interesting lntor
nation That dolls have ever been something more
than toys for children to play with there is ample
proof.
They have served many purposes-they have been
used as signs shops vehicles for the transpor

makers manikins to carry fashions across the sea-
as the central figure in Oriental games; they have
been worshpped as beings possessed of supernatural
power; at time or another they nave represented
almost every form of expression of human nature.
