distressing to an affectionate mother,
but at other times it seems to give a
great deal of pleasure to the relatives

If a doll is undergoing this treatment
for the eyes it takes about three days
to complete it; that is, if the treatment
is for a doll which moves it's eyes.
The eyes, which are fastened to a cross
piece to which weight is attached are
set into their place with plaster of
paris and this is allowed to dry, and
the eyes are loosened several times
until the movement is perfect and the
eyes are at the same time firmly held
in place.

oily substance thus obtained is called
otto.
When the odor is contained in the
skin or rind of fruit the oil is secured
by subjecting it to great pressure.
Some odors are said to be volatile.
The exact meaning of that word is
like a winged creature. that is. restless,
ready for flight. In this case COM

the companion is known as a fixed"
holder Fixed odors are good COM
panions to keep others in captivity,
but are seldom or never used alone.
The principal ones are orris, tonka,
vanilla and benzoin, and three animal
substances, civet. musk and ambergrls
Orris is the root of the iris; the word
is a corruption Of iris. Tonka is the
seed of a tree. Vanilla comes of the
seeds of the vanilla plant; we know it
well in candy and ice cream. Benzoin
is a gum from the benzoin or Benja-
min tree.
Musk is the most important of all the
animal substances used in perfumery; it
is very expensive. $25 and even $50 an
ounce, but its great strength balances
the price 1t lasts longer than any

vanished quite down into her head. for
almost always when dolls have trouble
with their eyes IL IS because the eyes
have fallen down inside the head.
Usually when this happens nothing can
be seen Of the missing eyes, but a
melancholy rafting which tells what
has become OF them can be heard from
the interior Of the head. The oculist
and the surgeon then set to work and
take off Miss Dolly's beautiful hair and
part of her head and then fish out
the eyes which have fallen down If
Miss Dolly is gifted with the power of
closing her eyes or OF turning them
from side to side il is usually neces-
sary to get her an entirely new pair
of eyes, and sometimes this has occa-
stoned great deal OF difficulty. Some
times oculists and surgeons have not
been as careful as they should have
been about selecting Miss Dolly's eyes
and she has been changed from blue
eyed beauty to a brown eyed one while

and it would be perfectly natural under
the circumstances for Miss Dolly to
have some little curiosity to see what
sort of a new arm or leg she was
about to have chosen for her. Almost
any little girl would be looking around
trying to choose an arm or q leg for
herself, because it was long or short or
fat or thin or shiny or otherwise. But
Miss Dolly is much too polite to act in
this way. She is perfectly convinced
that the doctor will pick her out the
very best possible kind of a leg or arm
and she never once turns her head or in
any other way shows her curiosity
while the new leg or arm is being
chosen. Sometimes. when there has
been great deal to do in the dolls
hospital legs and arms that didn't at
all match have been chosen for Miss
Dolly, but even under these trying cir
cumstances she has kept perfectly quiet
and has waited until the doctor or the
nurse has found out the mistake

moved as quietly as does Miss Dolly.
She undergoes it all with the greatest
composure, and sits placidly waiting
without particle Of impatience until
the surgeon is ready to fasten on her
head again. The result OF all this calm
forbearance on the part Of Miss Dolly
is that she never loses flesh or grows
pale while she is in the hospital, as
other persons do, but comes out after
most severe ordeal as plump and rosy
as when she went in
Another very interesting phase of
life i'm a dolls hospital is to see Miss
Dolly having her arms and legs re-
stored If the difficulty with the arm
or leg is not very great, then it is
treated by poulticing the damaged limb
with plaster OF paris, which soon heals
the wound. If a serious break has oc-
Cured, then it is necessary to supply
an entirely new limb. There are rows
and rows Of odd arms and legs hanging

than we human beings. with all our
boasting
Very few dolls have anything the
matter with them which may not be
cured by surgeons. When doll goes
to a hospital it is usually because she
has broken an arm or a leg or perhaps
even her neck; but medicine, of course
would be of no avail in such case and
so the surgeon is Immediately called
in. Dolls almost never have measles,
mumps or bad colds, and so pills and
tones are practically unknown to them
One of the most ordinary ailments in
a dolls hospital is the loss of the eyes
A dolls hospital always has oculists
on the staff and when poor doll who
can not see is brought in by the ambu-
lance the oculist is at once sent for.
Then the oculist examines Miss Dolly
and discovers that the poor thing can
not see because her lovely eyes have

plates of glass have been spread with a
film of finely purified fat. and on this
fat the petals are lightly spread in
thin layers. After a time, which ac-
cording to the nature of the flower,
