Hoo Little East Side Girls Employ

II all the little girls who have taken 20 playing
Solitaire public school, should be graduated
into truly school teachers. what a splendid crop
Of home grown instructors the New York school
board would have to select from in the future!
Nobody knows who first started the great
game Of solitaire school, Some particular girl
perhaps in Public School 239. at 18th street

rived" Quick TO catch on to a fad the toy
makers began to turn out tin scholars seated at
tin desks, for three cents piece.
Solitaire school is easy as IL IS pleasant.
IL consists in setting up mimic school, in which

d1tions Of the actual schOOlrOom In which you
happen to be a pupil, and the idiosyncTasies OF
the individual who happens to be your teacher
at the time.
A large stock OF pupils IS necessary. a sheet
Of cardboard from an old hatbOx being generally
procured, on which the scholars. seated deco
rously at their desks, are drawn. Sometimes
ornaments placed on the chairs represent the
figures placed them
