flower beds and dry sandy spaces where
there is no law against digging, where pet
dogs are welcome, and cake lemonade,
crackers, milk, tops, balls, hoops and ball
looms are dispensed from gay little booths
by obliging and soft spoken old ladies'. The
boulevards now run through nearly every
quarter of Paris, and there is no possible
excuse for the poorest child not getting
its fair share of green shade, fresh air

is too much economy in France for that,
and besides, French children of the lower
classes are eternally busy. Really, I've

simple food.
