Teaching Parents What Toys to Buy

CHICAGO. = Parents OF Chicago
" boys and girls do not know how to
buy toys for their children"
II was upon this assumption that the
committee on homes Of the child well
fare exhibit had on exhibition at the
Coliseum child's play shop" In 1t
there was on display an endless variety
Of toys, but foremost OF all we're the
new "do-with" toys introduced for the
first time in Chicago by Miss Caroline
Pratt. who had charge of the toy ex-
hibit- Miss Pratt was In charge of the
same department. of the exhibit In
New York.
Chicago parents are as deplorabiy
ignorant In the matter Of buying
proper toys for their children as par
ents the country over" she told re-
porter They don't know the first
thing about it. What they do In most
cases when they go shopping in the
toy department Of store is to buy
toys that they Ike to play with them
selves"
THAT. of course. is the reason we
have play shop exhibit The ex-
hibit is planned for the education OF
all the parents Of Chicago-but, By
the way. it Is the well-to-do fathers
and mothers who are most ignorant
Of all along this liue. What We ex-
pect to teach them is the real merit Of
do with toy.

MAKES A

Together with his wife, hand in

tie Goosedippers. the brave Commuter
took parting walk among his house

And when his emotion cSercame
him and he stepped not unkindly but
heavily withal upon the cat the scene
was too pitiful for words.
II was touching sight to see them.
Then with a sob Goosedipper grab
bed his lunchbox and was gone.
Il caught train many years ago
but we had to change cars at Salt
Lake City, so I came home by the
way Of Bangor, Maine" was the only
explanation the Commuter made.
Don't apologize. Claudius." said
the loving wife. Il knew you would

for the Panama Canal to get finished"
Such is the simple faith Of the Com
muters.

Spartacus put on his first knickerbock-
er pants. Where Is he?
That was many years ago." sighed
the wife. when Spartacus grew old
enough TO learn the schedule Of the
trains he swore never to leave home
until the railroads made some ar
rangement to get him back again, and
so he is now hermit"
"A hermit?" inquired Goosedipper;
what Is a hermit?"
"A hermit" answered the wife; "a
hermit is Commuter who loves his
home too well to commute"

the Hon. William Gray, who had the
temerity to run against Uncle Peter

over town. distributing 10000 cards

whether It was straight goods or a

concluded that the strenuous cam
paign had overcrowded Bunch's men,

gone dippy.
When the afternoon paper. the

porter and adherent Of the Hon. Peter

besmirching the fair name Of the Com
