How Dolls Were Named.

Dorothy was once one of the most popu-
idr names In England. Indeed, 1t is a
popular name there today But once be-
iore' several hundreds of years ago. it
enjoyed great popularity. Many of its
u'iiiinutlVes and authorizations, among
them Dolly and Doll, were quite as popu-
lar as the unabbreviated form.
Inc most beloved toy of the small girl
originally went by the name of puppet.
but In the time when Dorothy and Dolly
were the most usual names in England
tne puppet, a child's most usual toy, was
cailod a Dolly. Such is the derivation of
the name of the countless dolls oE today.

variety Many cooks prepare too many
starchy foods. They are apt to have
potatoes, macaroni. beans and rice for
the same meal, a careful survey of the
table showing too much starchy food, and
perhaps an absence of green vegetables

beef. peppers stuffed with minced ham

peacock feathers themselves are used

Lace and tulle dominate millinery. The
observer thought that the over popularity
of both fabrics would take them out of
the fashionable marts before July. in
stead of that they have increased in
favor every week among the fastidious
women as well as those who buy what
ever is fashionable.
The output of argument and conten-
ton and legislation against the egret

effect They are difficult TO get and they
are far beyond the price of the average
purse. Moreover, women have been so
educated by the distribution of informa-
ton on this subject that unless they
are utterly callous they cannot buy them.
It is difficult for the mass of women
even to wear those they possess. and
women who have become interested in
all the forms of cruelty to animals have
literally give away whatever they pos
sessed that was obtained at the price of
torture.

There are those who want IL dress to
attract attention. and there are those
whose only knowledge of clothes is the

If the observer could contrast these

crowds in congested pleasure resorts and

The American may be vulgar in her

she is rarely dowdy in the sense of the
women of other nations. She is making
an attempt at being something: they are

She is the only woman who has the
reasonable idea of wearing short white

stant wearing of these two garments for

centers. and dark. one-pece frock or
coat suit of thin material is better look
ing, because it does not show the soil of
the day and does not give her the un-
tidy appearance that crushed and spotted

But the American does not think of the
city as a summer residence: she fees
from il every day that it is possible, and
life is so we'll arranged in the country
today, because of rapid transportation,
that there is no longer any need of living
out the hot weather in congested districts
Therefore, the American thinks of her
pleasure hours rather than her busy ones
when she is planning her summer ward
robe, and she keeps Tor the city only the
dark. serviceable clothes which will tide
her over from June to October. So she
has a good deal of white in her outfit.

DO YOUR DUTY TO YOUR HENS

The latest application of mans
inventive genius that I have noted |,
is recorded in the Scientific Ameri-
can of Dec. 7. An ingenious poul-
try farmer wishing to be sure that
each of his hens does her whole
duty, has contrived way by which
every time that biddy lays an egg,
she make a record of the fact. She
carries with her a piece of crayon
in an aluminium holder attached to
one of her legs, and the exit from
the nest is so arranged that as she
goes out to tell of the good deed
she has done, she leaves a mark on
a piece of paper. Crayons OF differ
ent colors and other devices are
used to distinguish the hens one
from another, so that each layer
literally leades her autograph as an
evidence of her faithfullness. Ii
biddy does not do her duty, she
soon finds herself served in a differ
ent style.
