tiful
held their farewell party
The merry throng of 'dolls gathered In the Palladium :buildlng;preparing to depart to their places in the Palais Royal window where they will be on display until Christmas eve. Santa Claus, the King of the ' Colony, will come after them then and they may never meet again. , : . ; ,
It was a most informal party and a
moBt cosmopolitan one Every one
frcm last year's social leader to her wash woman was there. Little Lord Fauntleroy rubbed elbows with a common little Dutch boy who never could get Into society. . - . Merry Laughter Peals. Merry peals of laughter and animated conversation, cheerful farewells and hearty greetings covered a tinge of sadness, sadness among the colony members because it is the last time they , will be together at one of their private functions. The beautiful French dancing doll helped, Her brilliant red garters and tights flashed over the ball room floor in a classic dance. She wore figured net over red messaline and her hair was dyed u light taffy color and beautifully coiffed. Mrs. Jones, who was busy finishing the scallops t for Baby Jones' party dress, slipped a brown coat over her house dress and came to the party at the last minute, no less happy and gay for the delay and her plain black stocking cap. She also had . Jimmy along, dressed in nifty pink kilts that all the other mother dolls present Im
mediately took mental notes on. ; The fickle Miss was one of the Btrlking figures on the floor, with her handsome picture effect hat and coat with old rose trimmings. She wore a figured dress and a hand worked camisole. Wat Exquisite Costume : Her beautiful pink messaline afternoon gown probably was the most exquisite work of art among all the beautiful costumes. She wore her million dollar strand of pearls and the lace Bolerio jacket was caught at the front by a pretty jade brooch. Her costume was completed by a polkadot lace opera coat. There were about 50 or 60 guests. Several special trains were run to carry them in, some came on horses, in automobiles, omnibuses and all other manner of conveyance. There were rattles for the. babies, a library for the studious dolls, minature music boxes, a circus troop and a variety of other toys.

BOARD MAY RAISE WAGES AND PLACE WOMAN 0(1 FORGE
William Eversman, president of tho
police board, paid today that at the next board meeting, Friday, January 5, it was probable a police woman would
be appointed and he intimated that the
board might also authorize an increase in the salary of every patrolman. c ' Members of the Federation of Women's Clubs of , Richmond since, last;' spring, have been attempting to -influence the police board to appoint a
police woman but without, success.:
Two weeks ago these women took the matter before council and last night
Chairman Handley of the Pablic;; Welfare 'committee submitted 1a "report recommending that the "police Aboard appoint a woman officer so', that' the plan could at least, be experimented with. The report recommended that council agree to appropriate' the salary of such an Officer in' the; event! of her appointment and the report was uanimcusly adopted. 7 f , V ! Could Find Sufficient Work. "It is my opinion that a police woman patroling the streets of Richmond at night will find plenty of work to do." Handley said. . . A Mrs. Foster, residing of 207 South Seventh street, who has had some experience in police work while a resident of Decatur, 111., attended council meeting and personally informed council that she would like to be Richmond's police woman. She made a distinct hit with the city dads, and she bossed the reporters like an old hand. "Don't use my name," she commanded. "If I get the position I don't want to be too well known. Publicity and the
work of a police woman don't jibe. Speaking to the councilmen she Informed them that she was "nbt a doll, not a fanatic church worker but a good Christian woman," adding that '"mr Sun
day school teachers would make a good
police woman." Mrs. Foster also astonished the councilmen by frankly stating her age, 35 years. She came to Richmond with her husband about two years ago. '' " "
