From the Woman's Home Companion.
To some minds 1t appears that the daugh-

parents as they should be. The modern
mother seems to us In great danger of be-

Another workman seizes the mold as soon
as 1t is cool enough to handle. and with two

The best doll bodies are stuffed with shaw

sawdust are also used. The arms and legs
are nodded exactly as the heads. and are

market without being clothed at ALL but

long history, and that nearly every one,
from the jumping jack to the Christmas
tree, has very honorable ancestry. One
day all these playthings were taken just
as seriously as the tools and weapons and
other appurtenances Of man. Nay, they
were often his most cherished possessions:
they were symbols Of his religious aspi-
rations, factors In his worship, sometimes
the very images of the gods themselves.
Little by little their old uses have been for

Where the Toys Come From
the Woman's Home Companion.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
Probably the oldest toy center In the
world is the thousand-year-ol city Of Nu-
remberg. In the Middle Ages 1t was YER
table toy land and even now 1t retains al
most absolute supremacy in the matter OF
leaden toys, especially soldiers. Many hun
dreds of workmen are employed in this in
dustry, and something like one hundred
thousand lead soldiers are turned out every
day in the year. The peasants of Thurin-
gia are largely employed in toy-making'
and their productions are all sent to mar
ket through Nuremberg.
