 N of dolls Is known to connoisseurs as A< the most nearly complete collection in Europe. The oldest dolls in the collec- ton came from Ninevah and were presented to the Countess great grand mother by Queen Marie AntoiEette. These dolls nre small terra cotta figures and ivories. beautifully carved and in a re- markable state of preservation.
 Next fin point of antiquity are the Greek dolls. of which there are several fine specimens. These dolls represent gods. heroes and common mOrtals. There Is one kind with flexible limbs. and it's clothes. antiquarians say. were made to be taken of and put on. Even the modern doll house. with its supply of dishes and kitchen utensils. was familiar to the maidens of ancient Greece. as Is shown by the specimens in the collection.
 Somewhat less antique are the Roman dolls. of which the Countess owns three varieties dolls of ivory. WAX and clay. The Roman clay dolls, with jointed arms and legs. are among the oldest and most valuable in the collection. rare speci- men is the Fosti doll. from Assam. Brit Henry of Orleans.

S1Ueets to the Sweet i11 Summer.

Mothers clubs everywhere are listening to the reading of instructive papers on the spread and menace of the candy habit but so far the confection stores have noticed no decrease in the amount of arrives at the age when box of candy is not acceptable as q bribe.
 When she was very. very small box of candy would heal the worst case Of heartache. When she began to fare forth in the world she had no trouble in finding the nearest soda fountain and candy store IL soothed the henrtburnings of her maid enhoad and consoled her for many a shattered hope. Later on she received the daily or weekly offering of a glorious box of subtle havorings as n merited tribute to her charms. still later on a box of candy presented to her by an erring spouse always softened her heart and took away any just bitterness that she might have felt over his peccadilloes.
 Candy eating is rather of modern growth. It has become one of the luXu- ries that we are sure we are unable tO do without. 1t Is one of our great neces- sities When our great grandparents felt a craving for solid Jumps of sweetness the only way the desire could be satisfied was to munch cake of maple sugar or buy n few pounds of old d-fasnioned dark sugar from the Louisiana cane fields. A big candy factory was as much unknown as n steel rolling mill There was no de mand for the product and there was no attempt made to create one
 In 1850 all the candy that was sold In this country could have been bought for the paltry sum of S3.O+0.G71. No one paid much attention to the candy bust ness The first real demand for candy in this country was started in 1S10 when the ''barber-poie stick" gained its first popularity Then came the other kinds

gathered in full. giving a brilliant line of color. Going directly about the cen ter of the bodice Is shown the same full pufflng and the large kimono sleeves are drawn fin jusC above the elbow by the same. The plaited collar of net with a smart finish of three black satin bows completes the bodice.
 Another pretty summer costume is made of cotton crepOn, and this is one of the most stunning from the Paris dressmnk- CTS. The ground is nattier blue and there are quarter-inch lines on this of red, yell low and black. The skirt is inishci with a wide bias band of black and blue changeahle silk that laps over on the left side and Is fastened with three .arge iet buttons.
 The upper part of the costume is made like a Russian blouse and Is quite long It is entirely bOrdered down the left side as well as about the bottom and the neck. with q bias band of silk. and large buttons of jet also fasten 1t. The sleeves are put in at the arm size and are large. with deep cuffs of silk to finish them There is a guimpe and standing collar of Irish lace stained a coffee color. The girdle. which holds the blouse at the waist. Is of black satin. with a chou of the same at the left side.
 The three materials that are considered the most fashionable in Paris are chiffon, toiile de linon and silk CTepon. They can be used for gowns for all occasions and each has something especially to com mend it. There is. perhaps, nothing SO satisfactory as chiffon. for 1t seems to lend itself to any style of making It may he draped. tucked. puffed and ruched to any extent and still look as airy as a cloud. Or it may be fashioned on the most severe lines. covered with embrOid- cry. beads or bugles and be almost as gorgeous as real lace. But when it's freshness has departed there Is no other material that looks so bedraggled. and it Is for this particular reason that many women prefer the more substantial ma terials.
 The silk crepons of this season are very pretty and come in a great variety of COlOrs and designs. Some of the prettiest are in cashmere effects. but softly tinted, sO that they may be made up without yelling, which is not the case with many cashmere silks. and even ch!fOns. Gowns made of these are generally trimmed with plain chiffon or made with liberty satin in q LarmOnIzinG shade. Lace also Is usually employed upon them. and ire quentiy this is tinted to match the plain color or is q few shades lighter Sim plicity is the rule of these costumes. as it IS for many that are being shown in Paris this year. But they all have sOma small touch which marks them as coming from an artists hGud.

Ana the habit grows on her as she becomes older She must keep n few pounds of her favorite confection In her room when she Is at home. in her bag when travellng and in the hampers when starting out on a motor tour
 Ii Is said that one of the most popular magazine covers of -the future will be that of a girl daintily steering an aero plane one hand on the steering apparatus and the other plunged Into the depths or a box of fudge. The candy habit has grown rapidly among American women. Some of the girls schools of the country are famous for the young ,ady connois-
  from their ivy-clad walls. Four years of instruction In the delicate iavOrs and subtle essences make them authorities in their respective sets on the comparative merits of the most heavenly confections.
 The government has gone to some trou- bic to collect statistics on the amount of candy eaten by the women of America The statisticians realize that any figures obtained are bound to be far below the real facts in the case. A few dozen Of the great factories turn out millions ana millions of pounds of candies annually. but the most prying of the men of the government were unable to get at the amount of sweetmeats that are turned out annually fin boarding school dormi- tories. home Kitchens and over the flame of the alcohol lamp that runs the chatting dish.
 It has been found, however, that If Mss America's annual candy supply were loaded on one train of cars of the fullest capacity there would be something over 5000 cars full of boxes. buckets and glass 1ars This load of sweetmeats for the sweet tooth of the American girl costs the consumers about S125, 100000 every twelve months.
 1t may be said of these loaded cars of candy that they contain fully as much nourishment as a similar train of beef and wheat. There is no dispute to the food value of candy, the sugar. the

@r ROM Paris comes the statement S that. next to foulards. crepOns promise to be the most fashionable
 materials for the entire summer.
 French fashionmakers have issued the decree and 1t must stand. Cotton crepon is prettier and smarter for warm weather than silk. although gowns made of it are not so dressy and seldom quite so elaborate Most of the newest cotton materials either striped or checked, or. If plain. the goods Is embroidered by hand. which nt once puts frOcks made of it among the elegant toilets.
 One of these dresses that is unusually effective has q ground of cream white. spotted at regular intervals with large dots. also done in white. These in turn are surrounded with French knots of silk. done in the real china blue shade This embroidered stun forms the entire upper part of the skirt, but beginning at the knees has hounce of some sort of heavy lace. the pattern of which is worked over at intervals with several shades of blue. The second 6ounce of lace borders the skirt, and between the two Is third made of plain blue crepon and put on without fulness.
 The bodice is a combination of lace. the embroidered and the plain material. the first forming short yoke in the back and deep one in front. with a small shaped piece showing just above the belt The plain blue is draped between. but underarm pieces and the sleeves are of the embroidered goods. the latter being edged with lace The belt Is mar row and of black satin. and the gown Is considerably out of the ordinary.
 Another, which is striking Is n com bination of crepon and tussore. the lat ter being of a coarse variety. The skirt and upper part of the bodice are of crepon. and the tunic which falls over

I dare say, Madam you think they ought to wait until January or Feb ruary-just because it's hot"
 But Mrs. Justwed didn't even make an effort to reply.
 Instead, she continued to swing lazily in the hammock beneath two towering oaks on the lawn of Mrs. Sub urbanite's country boarding house. just outside the city limits. where the Just weds were spending the summer.
