A CHILD'S FANCY.
An Explanation OF What Seems Prcco-
ciousness In Imaginative Chndres.

An explanation OF What seems Prcco-
ciousness In Imaginative ChIidres.
An active, healthy imagination is one
OF the happiest gifts a child can pos
sess. II We watch an intelligent child.
or years old, who believes himself
unnoticed. We will probably be aston
ished at the richness ana fertility OF
the fancy which can give life and color
to dull, commonplace things. and weave
whole stories and dramas around the
simple toy that |, plainly stands for
says the Wonan's Home Companion.
But we will perceive that even his Wild,
est romances found themselves upon
many facts, for free and frolicsome as
Imagination may appear, 1t Is subject
to its laws 1t deals with real things
in playful way; 1t embroiders, paints
molds, hut 1t must have It's material
its basis in actual life. What we call
creative ability is really nothing but
the power to reconstruct, perhaps to
connect several separate plans or pat
terms into a whole which seems differ
ent from the original. The child Is an
artist who daubs his colors boldly,
without any sense of the absurdities
he may commit. and so he often pro-
duces effects that surprise others as
well as himself Many OF the acts that
seem so precocious because we suppose
them to be the outcome OF well-con-
sidered plan are really happy accidents,
not devoid OF the merit Of originality,
but neither to be overpraised as work
of genius. Childhood Is one unbroken
succession OF experimentlngs. Play Is
the proper and natural outlet for
child's thoughts. To restrain his mo-
ton is to drive back his living fancy
into the recesses OF his mind, and this
results in his confusion and unhappi-
ness. Some children who are forced
to be still and passive when they are
longing for action find relief in whis'
pering over stories to themselves; but
it is an unsatisfactory substitute for
dramatic action. And it is also moral
ly injurious, for the necessity OF con-
cealing ones ideas destroys after
awhile the ability for fluent expression,
and brings about timidity and distrust
OF our friends.

For His Friend.

James Brown and Harry Lee were
the closest of friends. They were
painters by trade and unmarried.
James Brown, however, was the only
support of an invalid mother, the fact
being well-known to Harry. The New
Voice tells the story of their friend
ship as follows: The two young men
were at work upon one OF the high
buildings of the city. For some rea-
son Harry had occasion to descend to
the ground, and there noticed for the
first time how insecure was James po-
sition. At the same time he was hor-
lifled to see him lose his footing AS
quickly as thought can work Harry re-
membered the invalid mother, and
stepped in an instant directly into the
spot where James would drop, and
braced himself. BY something like a
miracle he succeeded in his purpose OF
rescue. When the two men were
brought into the Flower hospital in
New York, it was discovered that Har-
ry had not received fatal injury, and
James, for whom he had risked his
life, was suffering chiefly from the
breaking of both wrists and the bone
of one ankle. Harry, who was the first
to be well enough to report for duty,
found a pleasure in caring for the in
valid mother of his friend as If he were
her son. The doctors of the hospital,
who alone were aware of the facts, re-
port an expression of gratitude upon
the face of James whenever Harry Wis
tied him during his convalescence, a
look that expressed more than human
eyes are accustomed to see or human
hearts to reveal.

LONDON 1AlLoRs FAIL TO FIT.
Their Garments Are Well Made and

Their Garments Are Well Made and
show Good Workmanship.
The best that can be said Of the
clothes imported by American men
from London is that they are well
made" said Nelson II. Huntington of
New York, who has spent years abroad
in the study OF the hospitals They
never at. Indeed, the art OF mistit
seems to be carefully studied. The
garments OF both men and women
never set well, and even the actresses,
who are supposed to be eXacting, suffer
from the inability or indispositlon of
the English tailors to fit the figure.
The finish, however. shows fine and
thorough workmanship. The French
achieve better fits, but the work is
atrocious, making the best garments
look cheap and hurried. Not even inn
portant buttons are secure. American
tailors and dressmakers surpass every
thing In Europe in making fit, and
the finish compares favorably with the
English. The New Workers who inn
port garments made by Poole and
other faslH. enable London tailors had
them refitted by American tailors un
til year or two ago, when the latter
refused to touch them at any price. -
