NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE
of rubber balls sold in
New York in a single year must
be stupendous.
The rubber ball is the toy of
the child of the tenements-the
one means of amusement not bar
red by reason of expense, danger
or non-utility.
In this town of nearly 100000
people hundreds of thousands of
have no playground but
the streets. No garden, no yard,
not even a square foot of 81 ass or
dirt. Just the stone steps OF the
house, the stone pavement, the
stone curling, the asphalt road
way.
What is there with which all
sorts of games may be played, in
these somewhat hard surround
ings? The rubber ball. Practi-
cally every child has one. In
every street you see the poor little
creatures playing hour after hour
with this one toy. They stand in
front of the steps, throw the ball
up against the steps, and strike 1t
again as it comes bounding down.
They bounce it UP and down on
the walk, they bounce 1t back and
forth to each other. They have
invented no end of games, more
or less similar to handball. in
which the ball must be kept IN
motion by the players alternately.

is great place for young girl

husband are good because poly
