1T must be clearly understood
that there is no suggestion of
charity in the attitude of the Vaca-
ton Committee toward this work.
Nothing could be further from the
fact. The Vacation Committees
motto is Cooperation, its message
is woman's understanding of the
needs of other women. The nat
tional Vacation Committee of the
Woman's Department of the Nat
ional Civic Federation has an
active future before it, but that
future depends upon the ideals of
each and every woman that joins
the movement. If she continues
to hold to the vision of the at
tainable and the goal, she will
bring much to the cause, but she
will take from it and out into life
the power that comes from a great
organization, perfectly balanced
along the lines of the great quartet
that DR.. Cabot has taught us to
understand, of Work, Play, Love
and Worship.

Woman'S Department OF the Civic
Federation. 1t believes that the
quickest and surest cure for in
dustrial and political warfare is
fuller and a truer understanding
of all people of all status in init
mate personal relationship. When
men and women of all faiths and
opinions and material status meet
to discuss the points of agreement,
instead of the points of divergence,
civilization has already gone long
way towards harmony and cooper
alton and happy friendly under
standing.
This is the work of the Vacation
Committee, where women of all
kinds of educational and social
opportunities meet together to dis
cuss their common interests and
their common ideals.
One of the foremost matters
to be considered is the necessity
which comes to every human being
deliberately to take certain num-
Der of days or weeks each year
for real freedom from the stress
and strain of life.
THE rebuilding spirit of play
l comes to the girl who is freed
from the canons of our city streets;
she feels the joy of youth as she
turns her face towards the peace
and beauty of the country, or feels
the wind in her face as it sweeps
across the sea. The spirit that
she brings back will strengthen
her work UNNECESSARILY through
the remaining months of the year.
Thus came into being the Vaca-
ton Savings Fund which follows
the ordinary stamp saving system.

diately turned over to the Vaca-

They all healthy looking ana
wholesome playmates. They have Ger
man characteristic features with 1ull

Each doll is different" it is distinc-
tive, just as in the world there are no
two countenances exactly alike, as no
two masterpiece paintings are ever or
can eyer be exactly alike. So have
these dolls individuality, since each is
made separately by hand. with the art
ist mother creating as she works rath-
er than copying.
Right in her own red-brick home in
Kocsen these dolls are made; many of
them have been made in the nursery
where her own little girls We're play

sanitary conditions. for the kruse
home is a model of neatness. cleanli-

but :he finishing touches are made by
her own hands and each doll is
carefully inspected and must suit her
fastidious taste before she Will give II

OF course. under these conditions the
outpu. of this doll nursery is limited,
even as the way in which they are
made makes them costly and limits
the markets to those of means. Then,
too, the isolation of koescn makes 1t
far distant from the centers usually
visited by buyers for the large i'm
porting concerns. 1t is known to few
tourists, and this is why kathe kruse
has been able 10 put her time to her
work that requires her individual
touch rather than entertaining curious
visitors. This also accounts for the
fact that few of these dolls are
found in American homes.
The kathe kruse dolls have been OH
the market for but five or six years. They
were first shown incouspicuously at
the great toy fair in Leipzig. known
as the Messe, held each March, where
all the industries of Germany are ex-
hibited. There they promptly attract
ed the attention of the more discerning
buyers who had been commissioned to
be on the lookout for something in
Jividual and distinctive for some of
their more fastidious and particular
customers. These dolls were Just what
was desired. and 80 they were intro
