H0W to Treat Your Husband
in Public

Not for one second would one urge
the theory that husband should be
perpetually conscious of his marital
tie. but for all that, he should not be
imbued with the same spirit of heed
less, careless freedom which was one
of the attributes of his bachelor
days.
Never allow a married man even
momentarily to regard himself as
bachelor-and this he Is quite liable
to do If the over-easy-going wife re-
Trains from ever drawing public at
tention to their domestic tie, because
when this state of things once begins
1t is apt to grow until quite serious
proportions are assumed
But, again, what a social outrage
Is tho over-devoted wife who will
persist in public displays of tender
ness and affection.

How the Idea Came.

The arrival of the figures is due to
Henri Holbauer, a very well-known
French artist, who found that he
could make them much more adapta-
BILE and less expensive models than
Fiji" or "Musette' and their type
are.
Monsieur Hofbauer's pictures deal
mostly with modern aspects of life.
He found it very difficult to idealiZe
a grisette with a turncd-up nose into
a Venus, why can't a group Of dolls
be idealized into any scene l want?'
He bought few dolls and expert
mented He bought dress goods and
found he had a most astonishing skill
in making clothing and bonnets. He
had little shoes made; little corsets
and veilings and stockings and all the
adjuncts of a woman's toilet, brought
right down to scale. In the same way
he dressed the mannikins. Their
faces he touched up with his brush
