@ you shall play a seaweed harp,
And you beechnut violin,
Till your thin music silver sharp
Invites the vagrant fireflies in.
And you shall play moonbeam
flute,
And YOU a MULLEN stalk bassoon;
Till all the crickets gather mute
To criticise beneath the moon.
And you shall play the shepherd
That calls white fancies home like
sheep;
And YOU the oboe all forlorn
That Oberon gave you to keep.
For you will both be fairies then.
And one shall sound a coiled shell
To pilot fairy sailormen
And one shall ring a crystal bell.
And you with yellow hair will need
A willow whistle cut at dawn
And you shall play a river reed
Like any little nut-brown faun.
And she with you will dance while
he
Pipes up the moon of fairyland.

SO much is being done to amuse
and entertain the children OF this
day and generation - indeed, too
much is bang done. Children are no
longer given dolls and scraps, balls
and tops and picture books and al
lowed to go to the play room or yard
to do their own way, but their play
must be supervised and stories told
them that point moral and pic
lures shown them that have deep
meaning. They are not given time to
think out things for themselves and
do their own way. In New York City
there are roof play grounds which
meet the much conges ed condition
Of the tenement district, where the
population of a good sized town is
massed in a few blocks. Something
must be done for these unfortunate
children, and it is for these that the
school roof gardens and play
grounds are being built, and for
these too much can not be done to
brighten their hard little lives, but
for the children Of we'll to do par
ents with easy lives, more is being
done than is good for them.
h st. Louis has a spacious roof gar
den and play ground on the top OF g
church building, in both Cleveland
and Philadelphia the roof spaces
have been utilized for this purpose
These vary from the simple garden
plot with flower boxes and reclining
chairs to more elaborate types.
But only a few roof gardens have
been turned to utilitarian account. 4
resident of Boston has converted his
house top into a fairly productive
garden, where he raises a variety OF
vegetable for his table.
On the roof Of a large commercial
building in lower Fifth avenue, New
York City, is a chicken hatchery, a;
we'll as a garden and children's play
ground. In this miniature "sky
farm the children Of the superln-
tendent Of the building feel some o.
the delights enjoyed by country
children, as they tend the chickens
gather the eggs, water the flowers
and frolic on the play grounds.
The dwellers ia tenements ar
never slow to make use of and en-
joy facilities for getting fresh all
and would need no urging to spene
the hot summer evenings away from
| the almost unbearable heat Of theil
homes. The problem Of providing
fresh air for babies and children il
cities may be successfully solved il
this way and the congestion of the
streets relieved by providing roo
play grounds for the larger children
