Many wonder tales are told OF ST. Nicholas
Here are three famous adventures of the saint:
Rescue of the Stolen Boy
There was rich merchant who was Christian.
He lived near the border OF heather land. One
day his only stolen by some wicked
neighbors, who sold him 10 heather king. The

fun" they said to each other, and
smiled peacefully.
1t was not until after their mis-
tresses had grown quite old, and
had died. that the dolls were taken
to their new home. They did not
mind moving though, even at first,
for they did not want to live in
the great big house without their
mistresses, and besides when they
found what a comfortable little
home was awaiting them, they were
almost glad to leave the big spare
room that had grown very lonely
Of late. Their trunk was brought
along, too-only it wasn't trunk
at all. Their clothes were kept in
a pretty little basket, and that was
what they brought along with them
TO their new home.
But let us describe these little
ladies about whom we have been
talking. Some day we hope that
they will deign to go to an exhibit
and be where you Juniors can see
them, for they are so different from
most dolls you have seen that you
probably cOnnot even imagine what
they are. There are three of them,
and they range from seven to

e which the photograph was taken.

I twelve inches tall. They are very
very slender, sometimes people
call it,-thinl, and their bodies are
made of very beautiful kid. Their
hands and feet are SO tiny that they
look like the feet of the Japanese
women, whose feet are bound from
childhood to make them small, and
these are made of wood, and look
as if they had been whitfield by a
very clever, and very careful per-
son. The heads are of plaster,
painted with beautiful faces, rosy
cheeks and blue eyes, and the curls
are very black. They are probably
sisters, for they look very much
alike.
The dresses are all made by hand
and the stitches are so very fine
and straight, that you Juniors
would have to try very hard to
make stitches that look like these.
These dresses are made with tight
little waists, short tight sleeves,
and great full skirts. The youngest
one is the owner of two wonder
full bonnets, too, all fashioned Of
velvet and straw, and feathers and
ribbon, with long streamers, which
tie in the back under the fascinat-
ing little knots into which she has
twisted her curls, low on the back
of her neck.
The medium aged one wears two
aprons just as they used to, long
ago, oh. no, not at all like our plain
little checked Bingham aprons
which are so good to work and play
IN, but fancy ones. The ones this
lady wears are taffeta, and dotted
net, very fine and dainty, and we
can easily guess that those dainty
little ladies never stepped their fine
little feet into the kitchen, but pre-
ferred to lead queenly lives. Just
think of all the fun they missed,
never once to have made pie that
the family would eat.
There is little French doll
too, that lives with Miss Shute, but
she Is not nearly as old as the
other dolls, for she was given to
Miss Shute herself when she was a
little girl. This stylish little lady
has the honor of really coming
from France, and a pretty little
thing she is. She is all made of
china, but smiles just as happily
as if she didn't know she was made
OF something that was easily brok-
en-, and is all dressed in dress
of Brussels lace, which means that
it is made of very fine lace. Her
greatest charm is her high Golf
fure, or head dress of real hair,
which is wonderfully curled on top
her attractive little head. Her
arms can really move, and this was
a very unusual thing for dolls
when Miss Shute was a little girl,
and first received this little maid
from Europe.

Quaint Dolls of Long Ago--In Richmond

Some very interesting dolls are
living in Richmond, and they have
lived to a very old age-for dolls.
They are about seventy years old,
and still they look very much as
they did, when people Ike our
-, grandmothers and grandfathers
| played with them long ago. They
are now living at the homes Of
several people in Richmond, but
the special ones we are to intro
duce you to, live with lady who
used to admire them very much,
when she was very little girl and
saw them when she went to see
her auntieS. This lady's name is
Miss Gertrude Shute, and she and
the dolls live in the cosiest kind
Of little house on Seventeenth
street.
They were the beloved children
of the aunts of this lady when those
aunts were little girls. The dolls
remember those as great days. For
they lived in a fine brick house
way out in the country outside Of
Richmond, and it was so cool and
comfortable, and there were SO
many beautiful things to look at,
in this house, that they never grew
tired at all. And not all the beauti-
full things were just to look at, for
many beautiful pieces Of cloth and
lace and feathers were made up,
into wonderful costumes for these
same fortunate dolls to wear. But
the time came when their little mis-
tresses grew so big that they want
ed to play in different way and so
these dolls did not get played with
every day nor get as many new
and splendid clothes as they used
to get. But they did not care so
very much, for they were getting
older, too, and dolls are probably
like people, the older they get, the
less often the want to "gad" about.
They were still happy because they
had great honor given to them.
They were allowed to live in the
wonderful, big spare bed room,
where only the very most beloved
guests were permitted to sleep.
Dolls Have a Terrible Scare
One day, though. they were near
Iy scared out of their aristocratic
little selves. They overheard their
miStreSseS (whO had quite grown
up, by then), say that they might
decide to burn the dolls. For sew
eral weeks the dolls lived in a
state of panic. They had always
had a great deal of love and admir-
alton for the wonderful little |
French girl, Jeanne d'Arc( but they
had no desire to die a similar |
death) They breathed easier after |
awhile and no one seemed |
to carry out the fearful threat.
Our mistresses just said that in ]

The Rabbits

they are so pretty and are so swift
We have white rabbit and it
is a very pretty rabbit.
We call it Bunny.
One evening Papa went out in

rabbit followed him all the way
there and back and every time he
started to run he would kick his
feet as if there were something
on them.

was the little house made out of
cardboards. Then there was a barn
and silo and all the buildings a.
round there were made out of card
board. All around the house and
barn was grass and trees. They
had the hog pens and a little path
fenced in and a celluloid hog was
in it. The farm was incIosed with
a tiny wire fence. There were the
fields with real corn, real rye and
wheat and a little pasture with cell
uloid horses in it, and celluloid
hogs in the clover and celluloid
cows in the alfalfa.
1t was very interesting. The
whole farm was about as big as
the top of a Ford automobile.

SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother s recipe to bring back
color, youthfulness and 1ustre--
Everybody is using 1t again.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the adj
vantages of a youthful appearance. Your
hair is your charm. It makes or mars
the face. When it fades, turns gray and
looks streaked, just few applications
of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its
appearance a hundred-fold.
Don t stay gray! Look youngl Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a bottle of "Wyeth s
Sage and Sulphur Compound = which. is
merely the o1d-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients. Thou
sands of folks recommend this ready-to-
use preparation, because it darkens the
hair beautifully, besides no one can pos
sibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten sponge or soft
brush with it, drawing this through the
hair, taking one small strand OF time
By morning the gray hair disappears;
after another application or two, its
natural color is restored and it becomes
thick, glossy and lustrons, and you ap-
pear years younger.-Adv.

HOUSE AT WORK.
Continued from Page ~

The house put the two traction meas
ures, S 70 and s 70, painlessly and per-
manently to sleep yesterday afternoon.
These bills provided for tearing up the
tracks of street railroads which do not
pay, on permission of the public serv-
ice commission, and also for municipal
aid if SO voted. They were adversely
reported by the special committee and
hardly dozen votes were registered
in their behalf
There was lively debate on S 81,
requiring the exclusive use of English
in schools, and the bill passed by the
very close vote of 81 to 80. with the
committee amendment which excerpts
private schools whose English courses
conform to the provisions laid down hv
the state board of education.
Mr.. Writers of st. Johnsbury favored
the committee amendment, as did Mr..
Carpenter OF Riehford. the latter de-
elaring the cutlery against foreign Ian
guages hysterical Messrs Belknap of
Rockingham and Tracy of johnson op-
posed the amendment which, they said,
practically destroyed the purpose of
the bill. Messrs. Buttles of Brandon
and Estee of Montpelier favored the
bill IN its original form and Messrs
Austin of Reading and O'Rourke of
Derby opposed it on the ground that
the present laws are adequate to handle
the foreign language problem.
There was q long, involved debate
on H 246, raising the scale of valuation
for cattle condemned by order of the
commissioner of agriculture, and the
committee amendments We're all reject
ed, which tended to reduce the cost. Mr..
Luce of Pomfret championed the bin
for the committee and defended the
amendments. Mr.. Buxton of Middle
town Springs called for the defeat of
sill the proposed amendments and
Messrs. Barnard of Pittsford, Writers
of st. Johnsburv and Dunklee of Yer
non favored the hill. The bill was or
dered to third reading by an over
whelming vote.
The house refused to concur in the
senate s amendment to Fl eel, provid-
ing for disposition of unclaimed depos-
its Ill savings banks and advanced Fl
299 relating to the protection of forests,
to third reading after an amendment
offered by Mr., Williams of Proctor had
been adopted, fixing the pay of fire
wardens at SIS a day.
The house adjourned on motion of Mr..
Ladue of Braintree before the big item
of the budget had been reached.
