This is not to be wondered at. as nothing more exquisite or dainty can be imagined than these fragile Dresden "ching puppeta when arrayed, in a 'purple and fine linen. which, also, is the last word in Parisian elegance and daintiness.

The idea began with telephone covers and spread to that of the pouper- liseuse (the doll reading-light);

"The very latest adaptation is the doll whose skirts encei a powder-box and the dol whose skirts serve to hide a box in which is the indispensable bottle of perfume. If these two variations have already ap- peared on the

As well as theso Dresden china dolls,, there are the others which are made from a special composition and painted by artists. These are really more attractive than the china ones, firstly, because of their originality and,

and, secondly, because the features are so delicate and the colouring and expression exquisite. When heads and bodies of this type are destined to figure in life as a cover for telephone or toilet box, they are invari- ably dressed according to some particular character, those meat frequently abosca Pierrot Harlequin, Folly, Marie toinette, "and"
