The theories which governed his physical

to q degree. In all the old time behavior

portions of his body which q child was
urged to wash, but there was a curious
hardening fancy introduced by Leoohs
which demanded that the child's shoes
should be SO thin that they might leak

in time become utterly indifl erent to wet
feet.
Besides the terrific doses OF drugs with
which his system vas wrecked. he was

nostrums. One Of the principal ingredi-

Earle tells Of a minister who, while he
was shaving zach morning, had his little
son, aged s, stand on a footstool by his Dress
ing table and read Latin to him.
The father also had a copy Of the book
open before him that he might correct
errors and sometimes was so angered
at what he thought the boys slowness Of
progress and bad pronunciation that he
would throw the book at the child and once
felled him from the footstool to the floor.

THE ROBUST CUPID AND THE NEAT FAIRY OF THE OLD SCHOOL

1t canno be denied that the art Of Kate
Greenaway had a positive and wide reach
ing influence on the eXterl.als of child life.
She actually inspired a much needed re-
form in the comfort and simplicity Of chill
dren's clothes by her revival Of the lovabie
fashions Of 1900, and her tender way Of de-
plotting the unconscious charm and simple
helplessness OF childhood was a revelation.
But she did not sacrifice beauty to humor.
This can scarcely be said of Boutet de
Mouvels who, though he owed much TO
Kate G~reenawsy. a in q s~tricter sense
the founder OF the modern school. In his
demure, little awkward figures there is a
world of meaning.
They are full TO running over with the
humor Of childlife and express it's emotions.
though the drawing Of a head is merely a
simple oval with two dots for nose and
some delicate accents for eyes and mouth.
In a letter published in the Century Mouvel
explains his method OF representing chill
dren thus:
Il have learned hat there lie one all i'm
portant element which we must seek in
everything which we would reproduce,
and which for want OF a more definite
word we may call soul, the spirit Of the
object represented. In comparison with
this sense OF individual character all else
is unimportant."

The change in fashion seems to be chiefly
in the matter OF hair and legs. Once upon
a time a robust cupid or a neat fairy in ring
lets was the sort OF child worth boasting Of.
Now an awkward little thing on pipestems
with struggling locks is earnestly admired.
Straight hair was once almost a deformity.

not TO say disgrace, that beset a straight
haired child and its mother. the taunts they
suffered and the torments. In the line of
artificial aids to curliness. such as rags,

Baby Rules a Street.

One of the curiosities of downtown
streets is a baby in swaddling clothes.
says the New York Times An infant
of tender age appeared on Nassau
street the other day in the arms of it's
nurse. 1t attracted no end of atten.
ton, men and women of all ages and
all conditions of life turning to look
at it. In the opinion of everybody, ex-
cept the immediate relatives, it was a
very ordinary baby; it was the mere
fact that it was baby and was TAX
ing an airing in business streets that
made it an object of general interest.
Babies, no doubt, are so thick in the
home neighborhoods of some of those
people who turned to stare that it is
hard to walk without falling over one
or more of them; yet SO seldom is a
baby seen in downtown streets that
its occasional presence there is cause
for general wonderment.
