Therefore, for seasonable diversion,
we are reduced to two very question.
able sources-facts and philosophy,
We will begin with-whicheve you
choose to call it.
Children are pestilential little ami.
mails with which we have to cope un-
der bewildering variety of condi-
tions. Especially when childish sor-
rows overwhelm them are we put to
our wits end. We exhaust our paltry
store Of consolation; and then beat
them, sobbing, to sleep. Then we

no one understands them except old
maids, hunchbacks. and shepherd
dogs.
Now come the facts in the case Of
the Rag-Doll, the Tatterdemalion, and
the Twenty-fifth of December.
On the tenth of that month the
Child Of the Millionaire lost her rag
doll. There were many servants in
the Millionaire's palace on the Hud
son, and these ransacked the house
and grounds, but without finding the
lost treasure. The Child was a girl
of FIVE, and one of those perverse lit
tie boasts that often wound the sensi-
bilities of wealthy parents by fixing
their affections upon some vulgar, in
expensive toy instead of upon dia-
mond-studded automobiles and pony
phaetons.
The Child grieved sorely and truly,
a thing inexplicable to the Million
aire, to whom the rag-doll market was
about as interesting as Bay State Gas;
and to the Lady, the Child's mother,
who was all for form-that is, nearly
all, as you shall sea.
The Child cried inconsolably, and
grew hollow-eyed knock-kneed, spin
ding, and eorykilverty in many other
respects. The Millionaire smiled and
tapped his Golfers confidently. The
pick of the output of the French and
German toymakers was rushed by spe-
cial delivery to the mansion, but Ra-
chel refused to be comforted She
was weeping for her rag child, and
