THE tea given by the Good.
l. will Industries yesterday
afternoon with Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt as the honor guest
was not only very nice but the
big rooms were completely
packed with people. The collec-
lection Of dolls, which were
dressed by Mrs. Louis Caldwell
and practically all Of her
friends, were the real center Of
attraction, and Mrs. William
Borah, wife of the Senator, was
so charmed by one doll dressed
in long baby clothes and little
flannel coat and, as she said,
with a smile on its face for
the whole world" that she
bought it Immediately.
Margaret Cotter couldn't keep
her eyes off a lovely, golden
haired dolly who sat alone in
solitary splendor in a wee rock
ing chair. And no wonder, for
back of that particular dolly
was a story. A very tragic
story. Madge Cotter, the sis
ter of Margaret. was asked by
Mrs. Caldwell to bring a doll
and come to her house and
dress it for this very occasion.
Madge, searching about the Cot
ter household, remembered a
golden-haired doll that Mar
garet Cotter had kept since she
wore pinaforeS and socks. So
Madge thinking it would be all
right. took this doll, dressed it
and sent it on it's way.
When Margaret was told
about it, everybody, including
the entire Cotter family, dis
covered that it was, and most
emphatically, not all right.
Margaret not only adored that
doll, but had intended to hand
it down to her, some day,
grandchildren. However, moth
ing could be done about it.
Margaret did do something,
about it! The doll was so beau
tiful, that it was priced at 10
dollars and-Margaret bought
and took it home for herself.

for this-one is that Mrs. Ho-

to her iIatirnateS, was just nat
urally born that way, and the
second is the nearly priceless
collection of first editions and
Shakespearean folios, owned by
Mr.. Hogan and kept in the
fourth floor library of their
house. AS, Mrs. Hogan ex-
planned, there is always a dread
of fire, consequently she never
lets anything accumulate, even
when size thinks that some
day it may be used" So out it
goes, the very second that it
