WHY A DOLLS
A DOLL

Why do we call a doll a doll,
and not, as the French do, a
puppet, or poupet, or, with the
Italians, a bambino, or baby?
What is the meaning Of the word
doll? To explain, one must go
back to far-away times, when it
was the fashion all over the
Christian world for mothers to
give their little children the name
of a patron saint. Some saints
were more popular than others,
and Saint Dorothea was at one
period perhaps the most popular
of all. Dorothea, and it's quaint
English variation, Dorothy, have
a very lovely meaning-"gift Of
God" But as few, people like to
call a toddling wee thing by a
long and stately name, the Eng
lish Dorotheas We're shortened in
nursery talk to Dolly and Doll,
and from giving the babies the
nickname, it was an easy step to
give the same names to the dolls
of whom these babies were so
fond.

THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline MichaeIis-

; - UST sometimes in the midst
of the hurry and rush, comes
e. a hint Of the days that are
gone, and 1t brings me the peace
that I feel in the hush when the
darkness dissolves in the dawn.
Oh, it may be the words of some
tender old tune on the lips Of q
laughing-eyed girl, or a rose petal
saved from some long.faded June,
or 1t may be the twist Of a curl.
And 1t may be the spinning wheel
there in it's nook, or a stave Of the
minuet's air, or a faded line pen
ned in some musty old book. or
= the candles soft glow on your hair.
But, whatever the cause, there are
spells that return from the days
that are vanished and done, and
sometimes for the grace Of those
seasons I yearn as I sit by the dial
in the sun. People say there's q
glamor the distance can lend, as a
scene is enhanced by the haze: and
I dream, looking back. that no
friend failed his friend and no
cloud Swallowed love in those days.
There was nothing back there of
the mad, breathlesA rush and the
strife that keeps goading us on:
men could pause then to Joy in the
song of the thrush and to treasure
the pageant of dawn. It IL only a
thought like a whisper that sings
as an echo is borne on the wind;
when some light fingers lie on the
spinet's old strings; but it brings
distant joys to my mind. Just
sometimes when the shadows are
gathering fast, and the toll of the
daytime must cease, comes q hint
Of the grace of the years that are
past with their fruitage Of respite
and peace.
