These are not the hand-painted peasant dolls that made such a sensation last year.

Little dolls only a few Inches high, dressed in cro cheted dresses and hats, are great favor ites this year, principally, I am sure, be cause it Is so easy to make clothes for them.

Of course the clothes that one can buy ready made are charming. There are beautiful dresses of all sizes and materials suitable to every occasion hats, bonnets, caps, shoes, slippers, sweaters, raincoats, automobile coats, veils and goggles, gloves, rubbers, etc. There Is every piece of furniture for a doll's, house that one could possibly ask for, not even omitting a telephone and a vacuum dinner. Most attractive are the dining room tables, completely set with all sorts of food, meat, vegetables, game, salads, desserts, bottles of wine, every thing in miniature, looking very realistic and edible. The rnechanicul toys amuse the parents as much as the children. There lire dots that walk and tw.n their heads, dolls that dance, Me se lhat wuddle and scold their goFlliixs, birds that fly. turtles that crawl, dolls that walk and tal'k.
