which the modern child has developed
in regard to toyland." The modern

makers have even now to employ
scientific experts and French milliners
If they hope to pass the critical eyes
of the new child" The fact is the
modern child is born cynic and a
stated little darling. 1t has no emo
lions, no desire save to destroy, and
be lived and breathed for by necessary
parents.-Boston Herald.
