Remember above all things that no.
body sews the clothes on to stay now
adays. If you do not make the dolly's
outfit so that it will 'button and un-
button'' alas for the gratitude that you
will receive. Then, too, no dresser Of
dolls in her senses would brave the
scorn Of the present day Maud or Mil
dred by presenting her with a doll that
lacked really truly" shoes and stock
ings of good style.
The little tot herself will be per-
fectly ''crazy' about one of the new
doll muffs. This affair is to be had
in regulation size for child from
three to eight years old and is made
of white fur. 1t differs from the usual
muff because of the doll attachment.
Dolly's arms and hands show at the
top of the hand warmer, and her legs
and feet, clothed in fur, dangle down
at the bottom. Very cute is the rab-
bit pocketbook for the small girls use
when she goes shopping

Coronation Graft.

The practice of running the foun-
tains and conduits with wine on cOrO-
nation day was abandoned after the
reign of Queen Elizabe but another
old custom was observed up to the
coronation of George ". After the
king and the company had departed
from the banquet in Westminster hall
the doors were thrown open, and the
people rushed in and cleared the ta-
bles of everything-victuals,. cloths,
plates, dishes. etc., all vanished in a
few minutes. And. as Sir Walter
Scott tells us. the nobility were not
above taking away the saltcellars and
spoons.

A Real Patriot.

Lets see." said the lawyer who had
met an out of town acquaintance on a
street car. according to the New Or
leans Picayune, doesn't your town
soon hold an election|'

And l suppose you take lively in
terest in it?''
We'll. not too lively-not as lively
as | used to-.

run for mayor two or three years agoT'
: Il have run for mayor Of my town
seven successive times. sir"
"And been-been'-
"Been defeated every time, sir"
''Then you probably won't run
again.
"That's uncertain. l am going to
inquire around and find if am really
the man they want. If | am. then III
take the candidacy; if not, then l will
try to defeat the man they do want"

DOLL DRESSING HINTS.

Make the Clothes 50 They Will Come
Off Tho New Doll Muff.
It's doll dressing time. and every
woman with small toddler in her
own family or time enough to look
after some of those In other families
is hard at it.
In making dresses for dolls it is the
wise woman who knows that the usual
order of the fitness Of things should
be reversed and that for the poor
child the doll should have silk dress,
while for the doll Of the we'll to do
child the dress may be Of pretty or
candle, null or dotted swiss trimmed
with narrow velvet ribbon. j..
:, A doll in a silk dress is the tene-
ment child's dream Of bliss. To her
it is the unattainable and the glorious;
consequently rummage the scrap bag
of silk pieces when dressing her a
doll or use discarded sash ribbon.
The child to whom silk is no rarity
Is better pleased with the daintiness
Of the organdie doll. =,
Such "details as g. sash with long
loops and ends, bows on the shoulders
and a jaunty one in the hair count for
much in general effectiveness, and
doll hats may be bought at many
shops if one has not the ingenuity to
make one of bit of fancy braid and
velvet, which is easily done. =
A child's delight is to have muff
and boa resembling fur for the doll,

The Line of Life,

The line of life curves from the side
of the hand between the thumb and
forefnger around the base of the
thumb to the center Of the wrist joint.
According to chiromancy Ohe pretend
ed art of judging the character and
foretelling the fortune of person from
the aspect of the handy, if this line in
the left palm is regular and deeply COL
ored it predicts long and happy life:
tortuous, colorless, feebly marked and
broken it announces i'll health and
short life; narrow, but long and well
colored, it indicates wisdom and in
genuity; broad and pale it is a sign OF
folly; deep and unequaIly colored it
denotes malice.-New York Telegram.
