CHILDREN'S TOYS

There is no time in all history when
TOYS did not exist They made the same
appeal four thousand years ago as they
do to-day. and they possessed the same
educational qualities as they have to-
day.
The child who does not love dolls often
lacks imagination and will probably so
through life missing many of its joys.
Indeed. few grown people realize fully
what a never-ending source Of interest
dolls are and just how important place
they occupy in a childs life
A doll is generally looked upon as
toy, a plaything to occupy few leisure
hours, but it possesses far greater posi-
bilties than this. Nearly everything
necessary to a child's development and 10
it's education can be illustrated to great
extent through dolls. History. geography,
traditions OF peoples and their sentiments,
their social life and customs can all be
made tangible and real by dolls that rep
resent types of various countries. The
childs heart, too, is trained in this way
as we'll as his intellect. All the finer in
stincts are brought into play. and the
child begins to appreciate sort of un-
selhshness which is in reality a ground
work for his life. Then. too. sewing,
cutting out and the practical construction
of clothes, houses, etc, can be delight
fully stimulated by the well loved doll
A doll is so real to a little child that
she resents any indignity that may be
put upon it. She often endows il with a
spirit Of romance by making it represent
her favorite hero in history or fiction
and in this age it is well to encourage the
ideal and those finer qualities which her

value. for they create and give the propei
tone impression to the child. Toy pianos
are sometimes made with the keyboard
Of regular size, and there are xylophones.
tubaphones, metalphones, drums and
harps, all affording much fun and at the
same time helping to cultivate and
arouse musical inventiveness and Curl
osity.
What child has not had untold enjoy
ment from a marionette theatre? Given
the marionettes and proper setting, he
will be stimulated to make up plays OF
his own which will be enacted by the
puppets with all the skill of master
craftsman. He will make world of his
own where fairies. hobgoblns and beau
tiful psincesses abound, or he may prove
great surprise by depicting a vivid
scene of unusual realism.
There are innumerable other toys, many
Of them Of real value. but plea should
be made against overwhelming the child
with costly, artificial toys, whose pur-
pose is entirely lost upon him and whose
pleasure giving qualities are but tran
sent. A child always enjoys toys far more
if he has but few at time, so that he
can become thoroughly acquainted with
their many possibilities. Furthermore II
is the toy into which the child can
project himself that really and lastingiy
amuses. The toy that Is always the same
and from which no changes can be
wrung soon becomes fat and stale and
in the long run is quite Improbable.

erwise by far the best plan is to ignore
the fact that the door is locked and let
il look as much as possible as'though the
door IS in use.
When the windows and the other door

the unused door proves itself a most
convenient medicine cabinet It's capacity
for bottles and various supplies is almost
unlimited. The curtain should be hung
on rings which slide easily on the pole
to facilitate access to the shelves.
In a living room such shelves are very
convenient for the smaller books: 40 cur
tain should be used in this case, however.
A useful writing table may be combined
with the bookshelves, as shown in the IL
Illustration. 1t IS built into the door frame,
but a simple little table which would fit

A similar arrangement of shelves in the
dining room can be made most practical

ornaments if arranged on shelves. Con-
vertcd into a play cabinet the locked

otherwise suggests to the mind of a child.
For what child docs not secretly regard
such a door with awe?
There is always something that can be
done with the door that is not in use and
must be kept closed. provided the space
is really needed None OF these sugges-
lions is intended TO imply that door

not be. They are simply intended to be
