A Fluttering Soul.

One young poet had described her
soul as a fluttering. desperate bird
beating its wings on the bars Of
her marvellous loneliness. At this
her lazy smile looked very wise.
She thought my father an ideal hus-
band. He was always right about
her clothes and, after all. he was the
greatest living expert on her beauty.
Obviously he loved her. but-well,
he didn't love her inconveniently.
Her attitude toward me was diff.

HOW A DOLL is MADE
TOLD BY AN EXPERT

Probably no industry has been
so conducive of happiness to chill
dren and correspondingly to their
elders as the manufacture Of dolls.
Seldom is an insight into thus in
teresting work giren. The follo,o-
ing article, therefore, ~ an expert
doll maker, in the London Daily
Mail, is of interest:
q CARCELY per cent of the hun.
- dreds of thousands of people
who buy dolls realize that each
one requires the joint labor OF from
ten to thirty workers.
Let us watch the doll being made.
Ordinarily a dolls body is built up
Of brown paper. Sheet after sheet
is well moistened with paste. The
paper is then placed in an iron
mould and hammered well with q
mallet until 1t takes the required
form.
AS soon as the trunk Of the body
is moulded the same process is re-
peated in the case of the legs, feet
and hands. The moulds thus filled
are hung UP to dry, a process
which occupies from one to four
weeks.
From the drying room the
moulds pass to the painters, who
give each part or member its first
