~ ERHAPS there is no coun-
try in the world where
y dolls play q greater part
in the lives of every citizen than
In Japan.
The Japanese hold festival
called THE Doll Festival" each
year. The celebration falls on
the third day Of the third
MONTH" according to the Japan
ese notwithstanding to our
reckoning, this is the third OF
March.
The Doll Festival 10 a girls
holiday. Special dolls are shown
in the shops for this occasion,
and the whole ~land takes on a
decoration of dolls.
The dolls for this occasion are
kept from Year to year and are
put away between times. like
some of our Christmas toys or
tDee trimmings, which are only
brought out to be exhibited on
that day.
Hina Matsuri-the japanese
name for the celebration-has
been held for centuries. 1t Is
referred to in Japanese literature
as far back as the tenth century.
These Hina dolls are elaborate,
and their clothes are very fine.
The designs of the materials used
are woven in tiny patterns to
suit the size Of the dolls.
OF course, any little girl-no
matter what country she lives
in-would not like a dolly she
could not dress, undress and
dress over and over again each
day.
The little japanese girl Is no
exception. For her regular every.
day doll and the doll dearest to
her, is the very Japanese doll
which is imported into our coun-
try, and with which some OF our
little girls play,
This doll is called "1chima
Ningyu." "Ningyu" is the jap
anese word for doll. and "Ichima"
is the name of a favorite actor
who lived many years ago. Many
Japanese dolls are named In
honor Of actors.
If you visit japanese family
at the time Of a wedding, you
may see the brides mother busily
packing her daughters clothes
and wedding outfit to send to her

Where Did the American
Indian Come From?

Pyramids and temples have
been found in Mexico which re-
vert to the ancient Egyptians in a
good many ways. This might
mean that the Indians came from
Egypt. Another thing is that the
features Of the Indian are some
what like the Mongolians. In a
sun temple in Yucatan various
relics have been unearthed which
correspond with Chinese nipple
ments of an earlier stage.
The Indians could not very well
be both OF Egypt and China at
the same time. And why isn't
there any legend from the Indians
to that effect, il this is the case?
OF course it's possible. though
not likely, that they went from
Egypt and then to China. thence
to America via Alaska. There's
