DISCARDED DOLL is POPULAR
Head Of Famous Toy Department Says
Little Girls of Today Yearn for
Old P~laythings.

The doll, long discarded by the ju.
venile matrons of the nursery, is being
rehabilitated.
Whatever the attraction of the soft,
woolly and flexible golliwog or o
playmates, none of them could yield
that intimate soul companionship OBJ
tainable from the human doll.
The head of a famous toy depart
ment says that the arms of the little
girls OF today are being stretched out
eagerly towards dolls Of all ages and
sizes, so long as they have human
characteristics.
The up-to-date child, like its cid.
ers, has a craving for verissimilitude
in all things. and this is exemplifed in
the strong reaction setting in against
the various distorted and fantastic
creations so popular of late. The doll
is coming into its own again. in pro-
portion as it becomes more real.
High born dolls, with all the ap-
purtenances of wealth and fashion, are
still to the fore. but are less favored
than the little school girl doll with its
satchel and p%inafore. which is a veri-
table comrade and con1dant.
The rising tide of dolls will be at
it's food in March. wher a great doll
exhibition will be held in Brussels IN
der the patronage of Queen Elizabeth
of Belgium.

TINIEST TRAVELLER IN Array
Miss Julia Kits, Daughter Of LIeC-

as Globe Trotter.

The United States army can now
probably claim the worlds juvenile
travelling record by virtue of the globe
trotting of Miss Julia D. Kits, daugh-
ter OF Lieut.. William P. Kits. Twenty
hrst United States infantry.
Incidentally her record sheds a
strong light upon the mutations of the
army officer and the frequent recur-
n of moving day." says the Army
and Navy journal.
The child was born at Fort Lincoln.
N. D., April 29, 1904. and was the first
Daby born at that post. Within three
weeks she had travelled ASP miles:
within two months, 1880 miles; with
IN six months. $3.50 miles. and within
one year, 1890 miles. In this short
tlme the baby had Travelled from North
DaKota to Minnesota. to the Atlantic
coast, to San Francisco. and thence
across the Pacific to the Philippines.
II took her only two years more TO
add 1900 miles to her record. making
the total distance covered in three
years. $4,000 miles. OF an average Of
more than 10000 miles a year. She
mas Kept on going, and at present has
more than $4,000 miles to her credit.

FLAGS FLYING HALF MAST
Custom Long Ago Passed From Pure
Iy Military Usage to Public Life
of All Kinds.

Perhaps you have noticed that
whenever a prominent person dies, es-
pecially If he is connected with the
government. the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up. This is called half mast. Did o
ever stop to think what connection
there could be between a flag that was
not properly hoisted and the death of
a great man?
Ever since flags we're used in war It
has been the custom to have the flag
of the superior or conquering nation
above hat of the inferior or van
quished. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten it hauled its fog
down far enough for the flag of the
victors to be placed above 1t on the
same pole. This was a token not
only of submission, but of respect.
In those days when a famous soldier
died flags were lowered out of respect
to his memory. The custom long e
passed from purely military usage to
public life of all kinds, the flag flying
at half mast being a sign that the dead
man wa.s worthy CT universal respect.
The space left above it is for the flag
of the great conqueror Of all, the

SUMMER GOWNS
MOSQUITO NETTING AND ROSES,
ACCORDING TO ONE WRITER.
Manufacturers Evidently Are Looking
Forward to a Hot Season
Gaudy CoIors viii Be the
Invariable Rule.

I hope it is not going to be as bad
this summer as the new lingerie gowns
Indicate. Nothing but mosquito net
ting with punches of roses, as far as
one sees now, writes Emma Jacquelin,
In the Kansas City Star.
Maybe it's a hopeful sign, for nature
plays a well known trick on the manu-
facturers each year by turning the eli
mate the opposite way from what was
expected.
Now, these nettings, would have
served admirably last year from June
l to September Is, for that especial
sun that rules us certainly had spots
on it, if that is the real reason of heat.
Any fabric was the white mans bur-
den on those days.
For that season the manufacturers
announced velvet with touches of fur!
Well, the only living things THAT wore
a touch of fur last summer were the
animals who were not able to shave.
Working, therefore, by the doctrine
of opposites, the coming eason may
be cool because of the abundant mos
quito netting prepared. I think we
would all be malicious enough to be
happy If the manufacturers lost money
on this venture.
What is this new netting like? Quite
coarse, and quite attractive, and heav-
lily loaded with Dubious, full-grown
roses put on by machine in a coarse
white thread.
No colors have so far been used IN
less on some exclusive fabric kept
away from the ordinary eye.
These roses are arranged SO that
they come on the lower part of the
skirt; their placement on the bodice
is left to inclination. Scrim is anoth-
er thin and cool fabric that has been
borrowed from the curtain counter.
Often it has deep borders of open
roses, usually pink, with green leaves;
if there is a knot of light blue ribbon,
SO much the better. Much of this
scrim sells for twenty-five cents a yard
and has a border at each edge; it can
be built into admirable draperies for
wolfe or taffeta slips.
Blouses of it are already attracting
attention. When the machine border
Is not used there is a cross stitch
sampler pattern of embroidery done in
dull pinks, blues and lavender.
The gaudy Montenegrin colors that
have reigned SO long are relegated to-
ward the rear, where handwork is con-
cerned, although there is no diminu-
ton in the clash of brilliant blue and
scarlet, of purple and brown, of green
and yellow.

New Lace Wells,

Chantilly and malines laces are
among the newest ideas for spring
wells, particularly the cream white
ones! which are becoming against the
skin. Some of these are long, draped
gracefully round the hats and hang
ing at the back.
The return of the waistline has
given opportunity for the display of
neat belts. These are in suede and
patent leather, quite narrow, and the
more decorative are adorned with
jewels. Jeweled shoes also are a
fashionable fad of the moment. Dia-
monds and other precious stones
adorn shoes of gold and silver brocade
and duchesse lace.

CURTAINS FOR WARM MONTHS
Scrim or Linen in Coarse Wave May
Be Effectively Decorated at
Small Expense. 70

Nothing is nor suitable for the
warm weather curtains than scrim or
even linen in a coarse weave, and if
this is bought in a plain color lovely
sets for doors and windows can be
made with the addition of a little stem
Cling, says the Pittsburgh Sun.
1t is not a difficult matter to stencil
any material if care is used, and this
is infinitely quicker and easier to do.
Any design may be traced or drawn
on the stencil board, which can be
bought at any art store for 10 or Is
cents, and this should be carefully cut
out with a sharp knife.
To make a clear, distinct stencil, a
large piece of plotting paper should be
placed beneath the material to be dec
GRATED and this will absorb the super
huous moisture.

Thought to Do Him Honor

Is your gun all right, Augustus?' "A
very good shot, Augustus Augustus,
is your stool comfortable?'
The millionaire flushed darkly and
glared at the old head keeper the first
time he was called Augustus. But he
said nothing. And afterward he got
used to it. But his host happened to
appear, and, hearing the keeper say to
the naughty millionaire, Well winged,
well winged, Augustus!' he took the
old chap aside and whispered:
why, keeper, | don't know what
to make of you! Are you drunk, man?
The idea of your calling Mr.. Van
Golden by his first name like that!'
His first name. sir?' And the old
keeper flushed under his tan.
Ives! Augustus indeed! What do
you mean by it?'
THE keeper looked terribly dis
tressed.
"'Oh. SIR he stammered, / hope
you'll excuse me, sir. / thought Au-
gustus was a title-a very high title
like My Lord Duke or Your Serene
Highness. sir.'"

Credited With Romantic Origin, Trav
eIer Describes Territory as Land
of Blood.

Mrs. Hugo Ames, who is known as a
writer and traveller under the name of
Flora Hayter, has returned to London
after a trip of 5000 miles ON the Ivory
coast, a correspondent of the New
York Sun writes. On her trip she en-
countered a strange tribe, the Phu-
lanis. an account of whom suggests
the imaginings Of Rider Haggard.
Perhaps it would be nearer the mark
to say that the Phulanis are like
the wonderful white race at the Back
of Beyond, over the Himalayas, of
whom Kipling wrote in The Man
Who Would Be King" The legend
of their origin is thus told by Mrs.
Ames.
"Over 1000 years ago an Egyptian
princess fell In love with a captain.
The course of true love did not run
smooth, but the princess was faithful
to her lover, and running away she
