Child Life in France.

Modern France is the stronghold Of
the family system. See French
family at dinner in a restaurant, or
for that matter at home. You will
never see a gayer, livelier function.
There Is such frank and unassumed
sense of community about the whole
thing. The boys adore their mother,
the girls their father, the parents take
such a whole hearted delight in their
children and the children are so happy
and respectful. 1t is a sight of which
every Frenchman may be proud of.
Then, again, French parents love to
play the part of lesser Providence to
their children. Nowhere in the world
are SO many or such varied toys for
children made and sold as in Paris.
The stranger is often astonished at
the fact that no child ever crosses his
path who does not bear something
novel, something ingenious in the
shape Of plaything

was kidnapped from his home. The
boy was taken by a man and woman
answering the name of Mr.. and Mrs.

travelled in covered wagon. and
during the winter lived in deserted
shacks. The man and woman camped
near Minot short time ago. and
while there the boy ran away. He

after some coaing that got the story
from the lad, as he is in constant
fear of detection by the Manleys."
After having satisfied herself that
the boy was the same Roy Mason.

Waterloo. She learned that the boys
