PineushIons of Novel Designs Make
Acceptable Tokens Between
Parting Friends.

Penny dolls made of china are the
foundation of cunning little pin cush-
ions, which look like ballet-dancers at
first sight, but on second glance it is
discovered that in lieu of fluffy skirts
they wear balls of brightly colored
satin, silk, Pompadour ribbon or tinsel
cloth. To dress one of these cushion
dolls. wind a strip of inch-wide cotton
about the trunk. from the waist over
tie left shoulder. back to the waist
again and over the right shoulder and
then tack it with stout thread. That
is the basis for the fiuffs of cotton
scented with sachet powder-which
must be put on to form symmetrical
ball that is covered with white, soft
linen and finally with the fancy silken
material. When finished, the dolls
hands. feet and head only are uncov-
cred and no matter how many long
pins are stuck into her, their points
are scarcely likely to reach her trunk.
Pin cushions of fancy ribbon, velvet
or silk of obiong shape have three
plain plump corners and one that II
trimmed with two square double
leaves of silk which fall over both its
sides and. when their baby ribbon
strings are united. reveal several in
side leaves of embroidered flannel for
holding needles of various sizes. At
the other end of the cushion and set
directly at the center of its shortest
edge. are ribbon loops by which the
cushion may be suspended. This is
the ideal steamer or travelling pin
cushion and makes a most acceptable
bon voyage gift.

MORNING ROBES ARE DAINTY PRETTY GIFT FOR TRAVELLER
Elaborate ornamentation Allowed on
Costumes to Be Worn at
Breakfast.

Breakfast robes are being made in
most ornate style with fiouncings and
\ ruchings of lace. adorned with satin
rosebuds. The dresses are completed
by shoes to match and dainty little
caps of lace adorned with flowers.
A charming version of the break
fast toilet was to be seen recently in
one of the shops. The foundation of
the dress was white satin, yelled with
pink ninon and flounced with white
lace. A series of flowers caught up
the lace fiouncings, and the cap which
went with 1t had frill of lace franz
ing the face prettily, with clusters of
flowers at the sides.
Some Of the simple house frocks
are filed in at the throat with folds
of tulle in v shape, while others are
made with high transparent collars of
the tulle. edged along the top with a
narrow band of satin. Satin! after taf-
fetas. is the principal material for the
house frock this season and there are
charming little dresses in crepes of
silky weave, trimmed with lace and
satin folds.
In length the skirt OF the house
frock touches the ground all the way
round and the sleeves are long to the
wrists.

CUSTOM OF SHAKING HANDS
Display of Friendly Feeling Origin
ated When Men Were In Habit Of
Carrying Swords.

Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands with persons whom you
know? Here is the reason:
In the old days. when every man
who had any pretensions to being a
gentleman carried a sword, 1t was the
custom for men when they met to
show that they had no intention of
treachery to offer each other their
weapon hands-that is, the hand that
would be used to draw the sword, and
to withhold the hand was usually the
signal for fight
So fixed did this habit become that
long after men ceased to wear swords
they still offered the weapon hand to
a friend and declined to offer II to an
enemy. To this day when you refuse
to shake hands with a person II signi-
fies that you are at war Among
savages, who never carried swords.
the practice Of shaking hands is un-
known, and It affords them amusement
to see the white men do 1t.

REALISTIC DOLLS NOT GOOD
Better to Give Children the old-Fash-
ioned Beauties They Love Than
New Weird Creations.

For many generations the doll has
been growing more and more beauti-
full; her eyes have become larger and
more langulshing. her rosebud lips
more perfect. her dimples more al
Turing. If every child could not be
pretty, at least no child need be with
out pretty doll.
But suddenly a cruel tidal wave of
realism has swept over doll country
The realistic doll has come, says the
Bostol Herald. There is a popular de-
mand for truth at any price, and the
price In the nursery is bought at the
expense OF childish Imagination. The
installment of real land" means the
abandonment of dreamland. The real
istic doll may be found upon the coun-
ter of every toy shop. 1t is a repro
duction of ugly little people. 1t has
squint eyes. or n snub nose. or pro
truding ears. or all combined. 1t is a
weird creation of a distorted con-
scientiousness.
The modern child has great advant-
ages, but II has also sustained many
serious losses. Perhaps the greatest
of these Is caused by the literal. real
istic. scientific form OF education.
which is diminishing as rapidly as pos
sible the priceless gift of Imagination.
The doll is the embodiment of the
childish ideal. the symbol OF beauty
and symmetry. In the kingdom OF dolls
there should be nothing admitted that
is not beautiful; and he or she who
trespasses against this law has tres.
passed against that ideal world which
should be the special property OF lit.

braid (known as pacre) shows the
top crown covered with velvet in
green (the prevailing tone in the
braidD and piping at the brim-edge
of the same velvet. This is a simple
model with much style. There is
graceful variation in the width OF the
brim and a clever tilt, these with the
slight droop convert the shape into a
background for the face. The crown
is low and rather small. 1t is shape
which can be worn by almost any
one.
Clusters of small compact roses with
