THE MAKING OF TOYS.
An Art That F1ourished Before the
2 Days of History.

2 Days of History.
To tell the whole story Of the art of
making toys It would first be necessary
to find some means Of exploring The
agcs that antedate history. The love of
toys is us instructive as 1t Is universal.
No barbnrous land has yet been found
which was so uncivilizcd that It's chill
arcn did not have their playthings-
shapeless md clumsy, perhaps. but still
capable Of fulfilling the purpose for
which they were crcnted-and there is
no record Of any time when little ones
have not possessed some kind OF pup
pets with which they might divert them
selves. ArchneoLOgists In delving among
the tombs Of ancient Greece AMI Egypt
made the surprising discovery that the
art of toymaking was not only known,
but had attained Il high degree of de
velopment rs far bnck as 5000 years
ago. In those days both Grecian and
Egyptian children had their dolls, and
they were iointcd dolls ut that. AS
compared with the magniticcntly attir-
ell French conceptions of the present
time they We're crude inventions. of
course. Their bodies We're made Of
wool, of clay or of stone, and their lit
tie limbs were wee laths fastened to
the body by means of wire. Tho
carving of the bodies. however, was not
badly done, and many child since
that. time has been glad to mother

gists uileartLcd other playthings which
children still love TO possess the dolls

antiquarian's point Of view. the articles

drcn might be able to conduct their
dolls through the ritual OF their rcli.
glous exercises. n circumstance that sug-

fury. but it was within that time that
tue art of toymaking was both brought
TO high state OF perfect lon and then
once more forgotten Like other arts,
1t could not survive the neglect and
vandalism Of Tint period known ms the
dark ages Just whnt the children
used for playthings during these long
centuries Of darkness and ignorance
one can only surmisc, but It is safe 10
say that they found things to play
WITH not only because the making of
toys was enc of the first objects to
which man devoted his attentions when
he plunged into the renewed activities
OF the renaissance. but also for the
reason that, MS the psychologists have
recently tnught us. playthings are and
always have been quite MS necessary

them. They necd them, and to deprive
them of these pleasures would be to

becoming men and women. ~ Public
