SHOULD BE FOREVER SET APART

Something catches the spectator in
the throat aud moistens the eyes when
the old veterans pass by. On ordinary
days they are our fellow citizens, do
ing their work in the world In shop
and store and public office; on Me-
mortal day they are a priesthood of
patriotism. keeping alive among US the
holiness of a noble cause.
Now. II ever. is the time to do what
we can while these enthusiasts are
still with us to perpetuate the teach
ings of the day. The least that can
be done is to fix among the traditions
OF our common schools that Memorial
day shall be set apart forever as a
time for the cultivation of patriotism.
II should be matter of duty as well
as of pleasure. and preparation should
be made early to instil the lesson.

Delicious Fantasy Wonderfully Played
Until yesterday afternoon. almost
everybody In Richmond thought thai
dolls were just dOilS--nothing but fig
urcs stuffed ana painted and dressed
up as character dolls, or boy dolls, OF
baby dolls. or lady dolls. It's true.
there were some few people who knew
better all tho time. but they were few
indeed. They were only those who
were small enough and wise enough
to know that II IS Santa Claus who
brings people Christmas gifts: to real
izc that when big white flakes fail II
Isn't Just showing. but that tho old
woman is picking her goose; to know
that when raindrops pattcr through
the sunshine 1t isn't just raining. but
that old Nick Is beating his wife. and
vino remember n lot of other curious
things that grown people have half
forgotten.
But now everybody who saw Rack
city ackctty House" Yesterday knows
all about IT, We know that dolls see
things, hear things and feel things. Just
dolls who are poor and ragged, and
others who are rich and beautifully
dressed. and we know that. while they
are happy most of the time they some
times have troubles, just rs children
and grown people have. And one OF
tho worst things that can happen TO a
doll Is II thing that anybody Is apt TO
cause If he isn't careful. You SEQ. when
n human being comes near. all the dolls
have to keep perfectly still and pre-
tend that they arc not alive At all, and
sometimes II Is very painful to doll
who happens to be in an uncomfortable
position.
Yesterday. for instance careless
nurse left ono OF tho dolls too near the
fire. and She had to lie there all tho
time that tho grown people were in :he
nursery. 40 when she finally got away
one side OF her face was all red from
tho iirc.
But the most wonderful part of It all
was that we didn't learn all this out OF
n book OF fairy tales. but saw it--ac-
tually saw it--riEht before us on the
stage at the Academy OF Music, where
