The Countess de Noailles. who is,
by the way, a cousin of Maurice Hew-
lett, the English novelist, and is her
self quite a writer. is a great friend
of Nj. Hofbauer. She went into costa

"Fortune!' she said; we will be

A., Hofbauer carried away by her
enthusiasm, consented. Soon he had
no time to do anything else"
Am | a painter or a doll maker?"
he cried at last. II am "A painter" he
answered himself.
So he taught a clever young dress
makers assistant to make the Ggur-
ines. Still he was bothered by them.
He fled to Italy on sketching tour,
leaving mis- assistant the dolls to look
after and telling her she could have
whatever she made on them She
made so much money that she could
marry Emile Pastre, a young Paris
shopkeeper. Then both went into
business. and without asking if NJ.
Hofbauec was willing, turned out the
figurines night and day to fill the
Paris demand.
Then the Americans got the craze
and the apprentices who had been
trained by the Pastries Were lured
away by other firms and now the
dolls are made by anyone. Hundreds
of women are engaged in the work

found his figurines everywhere. But

A GREAT many women may be
n excellent wives when in the
secluson of their own homes
but yet fail in that most important
detail of knowing how to treat tneir
husbands in public.
well, my way of treatin my nus
band in public is to leave him Sc
verely alone. There's nothing a man
diSlikes more than for his wife to put
on sort of intimate airs of possession

piled handsome, somewhat go-ahead
professional friend, wnen asked her
views upon the subject.
And, up to a point, this woman Is
right \ man certainly does not en-
joy those arrogant little affectations
of tho wife who introduces my hus-
band" into every other sentence. and
who makes the poor man feel that he
is nothing more tnan good and
chattel-a priced one it's true; but
still, for all that, a good and chattel?
But against this, the air OF imper-
sonal aloofness adopted by the afore-
mentioned type of wife is almost
equally faulty, for the simple reason
that. while aiming at social condi-
ton of separate independence, she is
tending to do away with that spirit
OF "togetherness'' which Mr.. G. b.
Shaw so strongly urges all married
couples to cultivate.
She makes her husband vaguely
feel that ba dnaa mt hptunU IN han

You can get them in summer attire,

too, in evening dress, the rich decol

formed necks and shoulders. Stylish
coiffures and elaborate hair. orna-
ments are not lacking, and the silk
hosiery exposed to view over the
satin slippers would bring a feeling
of envy to even the most contented
female breast.
Then. too, to appeal perhaps to the
masculine mind. YOU will find these
beautifully gowned dmnutives put

their toilette. A foot may be raised
to the top of a huge hat box to enable
the young woman to lace her knee

be raised just as far as is absolutely
necessary to accomplish that object.
Most women will value these
unique gifts for their artistic work
rather than their utility and will
think twice before puncturing their
shapely forms with anything so COM
monplace as an ordinary pin! And
vet their primary purpose undoubted-
ly is to serve as pinCushions, and
they are so constructed that the cruel
pins may penetrate any portion of
the article.
Considered as pincushions, they will
easily set the record for prices hith-

not be had for less than $25 or $50.
