above the frill. II is suited to matrons
as well as maids and resembles the
corday (of pleasant memory except
that It is smaller-a veritable cap.
The bonnet-like shape Of velvet
faced with silk, has a soft crown
shaped over a crinoline foundation.
Here again one sees the fashion of u.s.
ing the same materials for the body
OF the hat and the trimming. The
wings are OF velvet like the hat, lined
with silk like its facing. They are
carefully made and finished with fine
silk braid.
There is nothing startlingly new in
this shape but 1t will be all the moro
popular for that. For Of many SINH.
lar shapes, 1t is about the most artis-
tic and becoming. The lift or upturn
at the back of the brlm is a charac-
teristic OF the season which is being
featured by many designers here and
especially by one Of the foremost in
Paris.
This shape is not becoming, as q
rule to older women. 1t looks best on
round faces; and then must possess a
truth OF glrlishness. The same brim'
lines, with a different crown and trim
ming, however. have proven their
worth for older wearers.

A poII's Silver Set.

A set Of silver for the dolls dress
ing table can be made from tinfoil, so
It is a good plan to save all the tinfoil
that comes around candy, ETC., and
smooth It out nicely. You may make
q mirror for the drawing room or the
dolls boudoir Of the tinfoil with q
border Of gold paper. Cut out a piece
Of cardboard in any shape you desire
and then cover 1t with tinfoil. The
gilt border should not be plain, but
should be cut into ornamental cor
nsrs or used to cover a raised frame
Of cardboard. II you are going to use
the mirror for the dining room or H.
brary Of the dollS house make the
mirror in the same manner with a
double cardboard frame around the
edge and cover this frame with dark
paper in the wood tones.

INDIVIDUAL SETS OF CHINA
Can Be Bought Now Comparatively
cheap-Expendlture 10 consld-
cred a Good One.

A shop here in town which l dis
covered the other day is intended, to
my way of thinking. for the woman
who wishes individual china. Here
they import the plain white china in
the most delicate and beautiful
shapes l have ever seen and decorate
It to suit the customers ideas, room.
table decorations or anything the GUS
toner chooses. And the best point Is
that although this work is done beau
tifully in gold and colors which are
lasting and in patterns which are OF
unusual beauty to say the least, the
charge is very reasonable.
For instance a dinner set OF fine
French china, consisting Of one hum
dred pieces land the customer may
choose these to a certain extent-that
is, one does not have to buy useless
covered dishes and soup tureens. but
may substitute other pieces) with a
delicate coin gold border and gold
monogram Of any style, sells for $50;
and when l compare It with the sets
usually sold at that price only won
der why everybody who has $50 to
spend doesn't order this china. For
there is nothing in better taste than
a simple fine gold-bordered china, and
lhe individuality Of ones monogram
adds greatly to its beauty.-Smart Set.

"HREE hats, OF distinctly different

It, especially suited to some girls.
The soft cap made of rather heavy

II Is very beautiful made Of soft,

HOW TOY PUPPIES ARE MADE
Little Fellows Are Given but Hall
TeaspoonfuI Of Raw Meat Each
Day-Alcohol Also Used.

The ordinary public is under the
impression that TOY dogs" are spe-
cial breed Of themselves. Mrs. Ken
ingdale Cook exposes this cruel trade
in the hope that 1t will kill the de-
mand for such unhappy pets"
The exhibitor Of a champion toy dog
at q recent great dog show explained
to the newspaper reporters that it was
'the breeding that did It," This is q
misleading statement. 1t is not the
breeding but unnatural inbreeding
which produces degenerates. Some
times tiny dogs are obtained from old
parents. This is one OF the methods
adopted among others even more re-
pulsive. The smallest puppy of the
litter is picked out and fated for q
special career; he is to be brought
on" as show dog, and only to be
sold at high price. He is specially
fed on teaspoonful Of chopped raw
meat for a meal.
II is we'll known to veterinary sur
geons that raw meat creates an ap-
petite" which means that it causes a
flow Of gastric Juice. They use 1t with
sick dogs. who do not care to eat. and
generally find that after little raw
meat they are willing to eat a whole
some and sufficient meal. But the
valuable toy puppy has the raw meat
In small quantities-half teaspoon.
full for meal-and nothing more; the
result is that the gastric juice cor
rodes the walls Of the stomach and
causes permanent gastritis. Some
breeders have the puppy that is on
this special diet weighed every morn
ing. and II he shows any increase in
weight he has no food at all that day,
not even the half teaspoonful of raw
meat. Sometimes alcohol also is Civ.
en-.
Most owners Of dogs Of this kind
find that their pet is Ill when first in
their charge; and they will perhaps
boast with pride that they have cured
him; but, alas, It is generally added
with regret, HE has grown bigger!"
They have no idea that he always has
been more or less i'll from want of
natural feeding. Many die soon after
they pass into new ownership. and
people think 1t is because they did not
know how to take care of them. In
any case, they are short lived, and
succumb with great suffering to any
attack Of illness, because they are de-
generates from the start, and are SO
reared as to have no constitution.

One cura for Sarcasm.

Bunsen always was sarcastic.
One evening last week when he got
home his wife had new hat to show
him. It was some hat. Anybody
could have seen that It was the final
phrase in female headgear.
But Bunsen started to make re-
marks. He said 1t looked as II 1t had
been trimmed by cross-eyed milliner
on an empty stomach. An he made
q lot Of other disparaging remarks.
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears.
Bunsen had to go into the other room
to have a quiet laugh at her expense.
The next day he had forgotten all
about the hat.
The day after that he was reminded
Of 1t. Mrs. Benson handed him bill
for retrimming that hat-$1S.34 1t
came to.
Bunsen paid 1t without a murmur
and said the revised edition Of the hat
was Just exactly right. He is not
criticizing hats any more.

crudltlaa In Color.

Colors are still being blended and
crude bright effects continue to claim
our allegiance, though there are evi'
dences OF a coming change in this
direction. Meantime, however, one OF
the most exclusive and refined Of dress
designs offers an emerald green eve
ming gown, semi-empire in style. with
green and blue jeweled motifs for
trimming and dark red roses on the
eoFsage, which has a decolletage dra-
perry of pink net with sash Of the
same net tasseled with brilliants and
colored beads. It sounds rather re-
markable. but It was done so har-
moniously that its effect was distinct
y pleasing as well as chic.

Childish standards Of greatness are
interesting-perhaps because they are
at once so like yet so unlike the
standards of grown folk. Many an
adult, for instance, has been proud
with no more reasonable basis than
that which little Johnnie displayed in
attempting to top" the boasting of a
Juvenile comrade.

skirt Pads.

Some dressmakers frequently have
great dificulty in making skirts cut
with the raised waist line hang
straight in front at the line Of the
normal waist.
At this point the skirt breaks and
is apt to show an ugly wrinkle. espe-
cially when the wearer is seated.
This can be avoided by making
small oblong pad Of the same material
as the skirt and inserting II directly

long and two inches wide and is
placed lengthwise with the skirt. II
