Turin in gorgeous costumes of old
roses, American Beauty, pale green,
light blue, yellow and purple, with
glittering tashes, draped head-dresses
and all the jewelry that they could
beg, buy or borrow were the sensa
tion of the pretty masque ball given
by Miss Dorothy Bingham, daughter
of Colonel and Mrs. G. T. Bingham,
at the Metropolitan club house Sat
urday evening. '
The evening opened with a grand
march which afforded an opportunity
for everyone to see all the costumes.
And there was such an array of-them I
For two weeks before the guests had
'been planning them. There, were
couples in costumes of the time before
the war. Pierre and Pierrot came frol
icking with the follies. Clowns and
follies one-stepped past trained nurses
and doctors. Cowboys flirted with
gypsies and sailors shunned Mexi
cans. Dutch boys and girls, Span
ish dancers, little girls with Teddy
lbeara, Indians, all were represented
,jthere. It was a gay occasion. After
,iui hour all masques were off and the
, quiet of concealment gave way to the
animated -chatter of discovery. The
, prettily decorated ball room furnished
fitting background for the novel
costumes.

Facts You Didn't Know
About Your Fingers
By DR. KARL BREITHERR.
There is a very ancient belietNthat
a blood vessel extends from the base
of the fourth finger of the left hand
to the heart, whence, as is alleged,
the choice of that finger for the wed
ding ring. In literature allusion to it
is made as the "vena amoris," or
love's vein. Unlike most notions of
the kind, this idea is entirely correct,
for a vein does arise directly at the
root of the ring finger and running
over the back of the hand, finds its
way through the "royal" vein, the
"axillary," the "subclavian" and the
"innominate" to the heart This ves
sel is very conspicuous, standing out
clearly when the hand hangs limply
downward,
The reason for nutting the ring on
the fourth finger, however, i prob
ably quite different Its use for the
purpose goes back to prehistoric
times, and its selection is, likely to
have been due to the fact that it is
the least free in it movements of all
the fingers. Accordingly, a ring eneir
cling it will interfere less with the use
of the hind than if placed on any
other digit. ; , ,
It happens that the extensor tendon
of the fourth finger is attached to
those of the third and fifth fingers by
cross-bands which restrict the move
merits of the ring finger consider
ably. Anybody may test this for him
sell by holding the third and tilth
fingers forcibly bent and trying at
the same time to extend the ring
linger.'
Ihe native Australian, who rcpre
sents a very degraded and primitive
human type, has a thumb) that is set
very far back on the hand, so as to
look somewhat like the toe-thumb of
next hostess.

an anthropoid ape. I his, ot course, is
particularly interesting, because it
seems to represent a stage in the de
velopment of a member to which man
is mainly indebted for his progress.
It is the opposable thumb, which
passes over and across the palm, that
makes the hand an etticient instru
ment. - ,
The great apes, such as the gorilla.
the chimpanzee and the osang-ou-
tang, more especially the two former,
have fairly developed thumbs; -but
relatively to the size of the hand, they
are much smaller than ours, and they
are not "opposable." 'While good
enough for trapeze work among the
trees they are poor tools for handling
things.
With the gradual development of
the thumb as a tool ha come about
the slow human advance which finds
its ultimate triumph today in what
we call civilization. As the hand
gained greater efficiency the brain
grew, for whatever the hand was able
to achieve had its reflex in the mind.
Thus, it niay be said that the human
thumb and the human brain grew to
gether, the instrument and the direct
ing intelligence acting and developing
co-ordinately. .- ,
Save for the examples afforded by
primitive races, .such as the Austra
lian blacks, we have no typical
thumbs, later than those pf the apes,
to compare with our own. No prehis
toric human thumbs, nor any parts
of the hands of very peoples, such as
the cave-dwellers of early southern
France, have Been preserved. The
bones of, those members, being small,
have disappeared more s the pity, in
asmuch as a study of them would be
vastly instructive.
In the higher races of mankind the
upper bone of the arm is twisted in
a peculiar way, so as to make the
hand a better tool by bringing the
thumb into a more favorable posi
tion. This is one of the most curi
our of nature's anatomical adapta
tions. Furthermore, the muscles of
the thumb are so arranged as to give
to that member more independent ac
tion than is enjoyed by any of the
other fingers. There is a flexor and
an extensor for each joint, which is
not the case with the other fingers,
and the thumb muscles are extraor
dinarily strong.
The real wrist, as one might say,
it the elbow joint. It is all hand,
practically speaking, from that point
to the tips of the fingers.' When you
turn your wrist it is the whole fore
arm that" makes the twist, and every
movement of the" fingers is controlled
.. . l-C -f .L
Dy tne muscles oi tnc iqrcann.
The power to turn the 'wrist to
and from at the elbow joint is pos
sessed only by human beings and
monkeys, and even 1he -higher 'apes
are not able to do the -trick nearly
as well as we can. In this, move
ment the great "biceps" muscles in the
upper arm is importantly concerned,
its ' powerful action in turning the
forearm outward being accountable
for the fact' that we are able to put
so much more strengthinto a twist
in that direction than the opposite
way. Many of our most familiar
tools, indeed, such as the screwdriv
er, are made with reference 4a the-
anatomical peculiarity in question. It
is for this reason, and no other, that
all screws turn to the right. '
In conclusion, mention - may be
made of the-rather curious fact that

Toy Furniture Useful
That doll's furniture could ever be
put to useful purposes seems on the
lace of it rather incredible, yet a
clever girl has discovered that many
toy articles have their uses in regard
to the toilet. For instance, a doll's
bureau makes a most convenient and
practical haberdashery store. Every
one of the little drawers can be filled
with buttons, hooks and eyes, nee
dles, pins, tapes and what not. An
ideal sewing cabinet. When a needle
or button is wanted in a hurry one
knows just where to look for it. The
bureau is worth a dozen baskets and
boxes, where everything gets mixed
up together.
A toy grocery wagon makes a good
holder for -cottons and silks. They
can be arranged in rows and are very
handy for the girl who docs her own
sewing and blouse-making. A minia
ture trunk is splendid as a trinket
box. The tray does for holding tie
pins, cuff and collar pendants and'
brooches, and long bead chains and
larger things go underneath.
A set of doll's baking tins can be
utilized for making the daintiest of
tiny cakes for afternoon tea. and
there are other toy, cookery utensils
which are found handy by the. clever
cook. -
A doll's washing board fs idealfor
washing silk gloves, lawn and lace
collars, handkerchiefs 'and things of
that sort. It can be placed in one's
wash bowl, and the corrugations arc
so small that they do not wear out
even the finest and best, laces. When
the washing i done the things can be
put to dry on a line tied from nc
chair to another and fastened with
dolls' clothespins.
Then, when the things are dry arid
dampened they can be ironed with
dolls' irons. They are made of really
good metal, and the trouble in hold
ing them on account of there size is
more than balanced bv the neat work
they do. y You can get into all the
corners of the embroidery.
.Dolls' soap is useful, for the woman
who does much traveling or going
about. Most people object to usini?
the soap supplied in the lavatories of
hotels and cafes, and a big cake of
soap takes up too much room in one's
handbag. Dolls' soap is not more
than three-quarters of an inch long,
and it can be carried in a tiny cellu
loid box that is made to fit it. Lastly,
a doll's hairbrush is excellent for get
ting the dust out of unhandy places
in the ribbon bows' on one"s hat.
