different kind from those formerly i'm
ported have begun to come from Germany
So far these novelties are comparatively
few in number. The taste of the children
still runs much more strongly toward the
more familiar or less artistic toys to which
they have long been accustomed.
When German wholesale manufacturer
decided to. shake off the old styles Ger
mar artists set to work TO add some
beauty TO the objects used in everyday
life. They especially developed the power
of the lathe. Articles for the kitchen. the
boudoir. the dining room and now for the
nursery come from the use OF the lathe.
The animals shown in the picture may not
be strictly in accordance with the concep-
tions formed in children's minds by the
contemplation of Noah's arks. They are
much more substantial, however, and thew
are made as thoroughly and carefully as
artistic turning can achieve. The parts lit
into each other so carefully that they may
be taken apart without difficulty and when
returned to their places remain in that
position until they are again taken apart
Then they are made only from the finest
kind of wood. They outlast any OF the
soft pine sheep and cows In the farmyard
that used to lose their legs under the
slightest pressure.
In addition 20 the quality OF the natural
wood and the care with which they are
put together is the artistic decoration in
color. The pictures shown here are ex-
amples Of the finest toys sent last month
to the annual exhibition OF the painters OF
Vienna. They were displayed along with
the f~rescoes, paintings. statues and the
rest OF the harvest OF the year, which is
sufficient evidence of the importance at
tached TO their products.
The Dresden Society OF Applied Arts has
occupied itself less with the toys made by
the lathe. The village shown here as well
as farm houses. groups Of domestic ami
mails, a shepherd and his flock. along with
his dogs and the sheepfold-these are the
humber subjects that have been selected
for the special work of the artists attached
TO this society.
A wonderfully carved and painted goose
girl with her flock sent by the Dresden
society took q prize In Vienna. Here the
lathe is not altogether relied on. Nor is
-grotesqueneSs the aim Of the artists.
They follow nature just as the Nuremberg
manufacturer Of toys did. They do. how
ever, try 10 make their nature somewhat
more artistic. They also endeavor 70 make
the poses q the animals q little less con-
ventional than they had become through
the hereditary IDEAS Of generations OF Ger
man t~Oymakers.

married his stenographer." TIL idea seems
TO be because he has money. and "she''
is or was a stenographer. something I'M
usual has occurred-something on the order
of the prince who married the beggar
maid in the fairy story.
But why. really, should there be any fuss
about 1t? Applying common sense to the pro-
position. comments the Savannah News,
are not the chances about equal that he
has lone much better by marrying his
stenographer than he would have done
by going into Society for his bride, and
that "she" has made sacrifices in marry
ing him? The assumption, presumably, is
that 1t is he who has stopped. but in
the majority OF instances It would doubt
less be found that "she" stopped to con-
quer.
1t is not a rare thing that the man OF
much money is a coarse, unlovely fellow.
who has acquired his pile of worlds goods
through the exercise of a kind Of shrewd-
ness that would not show up well in the
light of publicity or stand inspection by the
grand jury. But, having the money, he
holds a position in the select circles OF the
upper ten thousand. Is it not a sacrifice,
rather than an advance, when a steno-
grapher marries such a man.
As a rule the photographer and type
writer girls who succeed in business and
who attract the admiration and sincere
affection OF their employers, do 80 upon
merit alone. They make places for them
selves because they are worthy of them.
They have brains to use, and they know
how to use them. They are not dolls,
suited only TO be played with at social
functions. They know what life means,
what its struggles are, and what dis
appointments are inevitable. The society
doll is a perpetual burden upon those who
may become charged with her support.
The girl who knows how to work, and
who goes our and does it. is not a burden
70 anybody. but a help and an inspiration.
What is more natural, therefore, and
what would be mere in the line OF COM
mon sense than for a business man to
select as his life partner a young woman
who knows how 70 work. how TO think.
how TO execute the ideas she has evolved?
Tn cold fact is that men of money pos
sibly make a great mistake when they
fail to consider their stenographers and
office girls as desirable candidates for
promotion TO wifehood. The happiest mar
riage is that which is mutually most help

A woman's Long Vigil.


Miss Laura a. Hecox, who for twenty
seven years has rendered hte light Of the
santa Cruz lighthouse, has but recently
returned to her post from the last OF the
six vacations she has taken during that
period. Since 1881 this woman has had
absolute charge of the light, and in all
that time It has never gone out during
the night.
Miss Hecox followed her father in charge
OF the Hight, relates the Los Angeles
Times. He was a retired clergyman, who
took the work Of caring for the light,
when his health broke down under the
stress OF his pastoral duties. With him
went his wife and girl, who cared for him
as we'll as the light
During the thirteen years her father
was In charge Mas Hecox was practically
the real mistress OF the lighthouse. When
his death came she applied for and OBJ
tained the work. Since that time she has
been steadily at it, cleaning. tending and
watching the light that it may be never
dimmed.
Then her mother died in the old light
house and the woman was left alone with
her work. She loves II and is never salts
fled II she is away from It for long. Her
only recreation is an occasional visit to
her brother, who lives at Oceanside. and
gathering in sea specimens, a collection
OF which she recently gave to the Santa
Cruz library.
Fortunately for Miss Hecox the Santa
Cruz lighthouse is not built on a rock
bound coast, but is powered among trees.
The light is modern, of twelve candle
power multiplied by renectors 10 some
thing like 65 candle-power. During the
twenty-seven years It has been tended by
Miss Hecox no ship has been wrecked on
the Santa Cruz coast.

she has had the exclusive right to the name

numerous friends of the young couple, re-

Back of the desire for secrecy is as
charming a romance as ever found its way
into the prosaic columns OF a newspaper.
Mrs. Surge is o years old; her husband
is one year her senior. He is a fine look

taking up his work on M~orningside Heights

the style became almost universal. but
after his fall it, too, declined. Thus It will
be seen that the nIlet and the directors

is perhaps natural that the recrudescence
