LONDON Leading Society Women Who Waste Money On Fashionable Dolls Are Roundly Criticized.

London, Dec. IT R'-London so- ciety women who have q weakness for buying expensive dolls were given a real good old fashioned scolding by Lady Frances Balfour after she had heard some of them had been paying as much as t15 for a doll.
 Lady Frances took certain men to task. too. for encouraging the fad by making presents of dolls which in some instances cost more than q good gown.
 "Women have been doing great things, but when l heard that they had taken to buying expensively dressed dolls at from t5 to f15 each, I almost despaired because of this extravagance,' Lady Frances de clarod at meeting of the Society for Promoting the Training of Women.

 Instead of brushing the hair every day, it has become customary mere ly to run comb through if, and the scalp suffers from lack of prop

Five Thousand BeSgars Roam PariSian Streets

Five thousand beggars in the streets of Paris, it is estimated, have lS,0O0,U00 francs dropped in their hands or tin cups each year. These figures should be multiplied by four for France, says M. Lefebure, of the Paris municipal council.
 II is trying 10 get parliament to take the bccgars off the streets and put them to work in special institu- tions, as is now done in Belgium.
 Jail sentences, he adds only in crease the number of beggars. Jail is a place where they can eat and sleep without working.
 The average amount collected daily by these mendicants is put at only ton francs, barely enough for the plainest food and shelter occas- ionally at night in the great lodging rooms.
