The "Hina Matsuri" is the name Of.
a feast in Japan which is celebrated
on the third day of thee third month.
It 'ls what we should name "a Feast
of polls,", and the girls nave all the
'benefits of this strange festival, which
considered the greatest event of the

Most of the Japanese snaps display
dolls ranging from three 4zrches to one.
and a half feet in height, and they are
dnvariably made of wood, porcelain,
ler clay. In bygone days the Feast of
Dolls' was celebrated with great pomp,
preparation, and ceremony—more so
than in modern times,. These dolls
e and
•were usually exquisitely dressd ,
made to represent some notable per:
menage, Even nowadays, many Japan-
ese families keep up the custom, and
Some of the older people possess a
stook of dolls which date back. many
years.
When a girl is born, a pair of dolls
are presented to her, and she plays
with them until she is quite grown. up.
Then, if she marries, she takes, care
that the dons are eventually given to
her daughters (if any), and she adds
to the number e dolts in accordance
with the number of her daughters!!
Consequently, in some cases', a large
number of dolls are collected,.
Boys, by the way, are not overlook-
ed in Japan, for on the fifth day of the
fifth month they celebrate a "Feast of
Flags."

long, and about two feet high at the
head end, tapering off gradually to the
tail and winding like a serpent. They
are made of clay and have broken
pieces of pottery stuck into their backs
to represent scales. For five nights in
succession the sorceress came out to
this place and danced and sacrificed
for rain. If only they knew how to

peculiar eat Ortaimmnents were ar-
ranged for the pecuniary benefit of the
bridal pair, for the guests each paid
an acimittmice fee. The "takings"
went towards furnishing a home for
the newly-wed.

You are in, danger of injuring your-

not be so alert and there will be a let-
ting down. of your standard of ef-

so well, or bo so orderly and system-
atic. You will not think up new ways
of doing things; you will not be am-
bitious, to better your best:
When you are dirt of sorts your judg-
ment is poor, and you should not make
important decisions. The best thing
to do when you feel you are 133. this,
