The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1909-06-16

The great New York palace, which was Margaret
Carnege's Christmas gift
child who would the garment. Dozens OF
costly hats and shoes and slippers and boots for
every gown. Dainty handmade underclotheS and
piles of ribbons and sashes An endless ward
robe slowed away in slk-lined chests and draw
ers, and kept always in perfect repair.
The rich little girl has her dressmaker,
mllliner, and bootmaker, and she is carefully in
structed in the quality and style of clothes that
should be worn by girl in her station OF life
Marvellous paythings
IT HE playthngs of the wealthy child quite as
wonderful and upto-date as everything else she
has. There are walking and talking dolls dressed
IN the daintiest chiffons and expensive aces with
Paris hats, fur coats, muffs automobile apparel
and even garments to wear when taking voyage
In doll airship. There doll dressing tables
with oval triple mirrors framed with lowered
silk, and equipped with every toilet article that
the most fastdious doll could want, from hand
mirrors to curling tongs. There doll dining
rooms and kitchen outfits. There are toy auto
mobiles costing all the way from 500 to 81 900 and
miniature hansoms standing eighteen inches high
carrying beautifully dressed lady doll passen-
GER dressed in hat and coat with a bunch of vio
lets at her throat. The toy winds up so that when
it starts the miniature horse moves along at
slow trot, while the rubbertred wheels revolve
with fascinating regularity and rapidity.
Even more interesting is a dolls goat-cart
drawn by two black and white goats. A doll driver
sits behind and manipulates the ribbons as long
as the mechanism runs. Next in Importance to
the mechanical toys the stuffed animals. There
is life-size stuffed lion costing S1OO that roars
naturally and nightly when his tail is pulled, and
there are Teddy bears provided with electric
battery so that their eyes CLEAN when you squeeze
their paws
Then there little bathtubs with waterproof
dolls mounted on stands, and having dainty toilet
sets attached to the rim with pink blue ribbon,
complete with shower and plunge attachments.
Another favorite is the swimming doll, papier
mache contrivance with mechanical device in
side to make her move swiftly through the water.
Perhaps the most astonishing OF all the million
airesss toys her dolls houses three and some
times four stories high, luxurously furnished and
fitted throughout with electric light automatic
pianos and birds, with a dining room and
plete table service to the linen table cloth
and napkins, and served by veried buffers, and
with the cutest little automobile waiting outside
the doll mansion to take the dinner party to
other social function And there is the flirting
DOLL with real hair and eyelashes, and eyes that
glance coquettishly from side to SIDE clothed in
the very latest Paris frock and hat.
Miniature stages with shifting scenes foot
lights that can be flashed off at the touch
OF an electric button, actors and actresses in
ious costumes that can be moved back and forth,
are among the wonderful playthings that only
accessible to the child of the millionaire.
Every wish is gratifed.
IT HE little millionaire child is the modern Alad-
din, and the father with his millions is the
ever willing gent. At his command their every
wish is granted. Take the case of the little

wanted some black swans. magnificent pair
was sent to him all the way from Australia From
Paris came a manufactured which could be
set up in the nursery and MIXED But the little
boy yearned for real live COW, and amazing
it may seem, even this wish was granted. Care
fully muZzled, hoisted, via the freight
elevator, to the top of the Broadway apartment
house, the whole roof OF which is devoted to his
playground. The small boy enchanted until
the health department of the city of New York
ordered the down.
After reading the foregoing you will be pre-
pared to believe my statement that it costs about
quarter of a million dollars to raise baby girl
of millionaire from the time of her birth until
she makes her debut in socety-an event that
takes place between the ages of eighteen and
