Children. tho fame came when DR..
Maria Moutessori selected her inven-
ton As the ono American toy she
deemed worthy enough to take back
with her to italy; the romance when
through her interest IN toys she met
Mr.. John Manning, TO whom she IS
now married. and the financial gain IS
sttested by busy workshop full OF
girls trying to fill all orders that come
in from children anxious 70 have this

Toys Foundation Wooden Block.
Mrs Manning. Of. As she prefers 10
he called. Miss Duncan, built her
structure upon thst old foundation for
the child's creative interest, the wood
block. Each surface of the block
shows 4 different substance; for in
stance, one may be grass, another
turf, third or fourth part OF lake,
or 4 brick--sll parts OF plan that
when assembled become country
estate Miss Duncan created the
Garden Department in The Ladies
Home Journal" 1t was in consequence
OF her experience on The Ladies
Home Journal" that her Gardencraft
toy came into being, for Miss Dun
can saw the necessity Of presenting
garden plans to people in form that
they could understand; that the num-
bered scallops, for beds of herbaceous
plants, the stars and circles for trees,
did not, to the average reader, create
in his mind a definite picture OF real
planting. They simply remained seal
lops and circles. Even the sculptor ST.
Gaudens told Miss Duncan he couldn't
visualize a garden from a plan, and
would lay out his paths with lath or
tennis court tape and stick in brush
where he meant TO plant a shrub,
shifting these until the whole looked
right.
Child Plants Garden Itself. ~
With this device OF Miss Duncan's
in Gardencraft for Children, as she
calls il. a grown-up gardener can shift
his plants and flowers and paths until
il looks right in the miniature, as this
toy. in all its varieties. is genuine
working model. And although its age
is TO be counted only by months, IT
is already used by many gardeners IN
various parts OF the world.
In It's short life this toy has been
, benefcent gift TO humanity, little
and big. young and old, Ill and well.
Inyslids who cannot leave their beds
plsv with il and visualise their ideas.
They make their gardens and look
upon them. They change tt-m and
make new gardens every day.

". and has had the actual, practical
working gardeners experience, serv-
ing her apprenticeship At famous
nursery on Long Island. She has IN
this work done everything, from
"bossine" = gang oi men TO laying
out garden. which is, perhaps, The
reason for the marvellous accuracy OF
her toy.
In her toy Miss Duncan develops
the gravity and ioyousuess Of children
and Crowu-ups with equal skill Out

where children arc, go iarmhouses

pensive seasons; or = more preten-
tious country place, with its gardens
and flowers, its pergola and garage;
or, again, a country estate which is
more extensive and, incidentally,
more expensive-still. And, later, the
happy owners of these estates come
back with money saved to eXpend it
in more real estate, in the matter OF
an other acre of land, perhaps, or two
acres, or a greenhouse, or a tennis
net, or some trellising. or fencing, or
some more plants and flowers of
particular sort, or of every sort And
they go away happily, landowners OF
some consequence. And real chicken
breeders. for instance, will not be sat
isfied other than with separate chick

crossing; it is very alluring; it is very
educational.
Her Educational Gift a Toy.
There is still great deal of the
little girl in Frances Duncan, the
woman. That is why she is able to
enter so whole-hesrtedly into the
spirit OF childhood. That is why her
offering to life is toy. 1t is JOY
Gus offer. 1t is not whimsical it is
not caricaturish; it is not ugly; it is
not even funny. 1t is beautiful. 1t
is Joyous. 1t is educational.
The birthplace of the toy was Milf
gan place, a curious little court OPEN
ing from Sixth av., near 10th ST., with
the entrance almost as concealed as
the opening of a hidden chamber.
This little court is all that is left OF

In the meantime Mrs. Pierce began
sending out leaflets, in the name OF
the Home and School League, urging
the school children to help keep the
streets clean. Public interest was
aroused and the newspapers took up
the cause. When the examination
took place it was found that Mrs.
Pierce had passed with mark OF 90,
the highest average in large number
of contestants, several of whom were
women. The appointment OF Mrs.
Pierce was confirmed at once. and IN
two weeks she had started on her new
work.
The duties of street cleaning in
spector are confined to certain dis
trict and include inspection of paving,
cleaning and collection OF refuse. But
Mrs. Pierce did not want her work
to be bounded BY any lesser confines
than the city limits. With the per-
mission of Chief William II. Cornell,
director of highways, she mapped out
a plan of action to take in all of Phil

Although many OF the inspectors
were honestly trying to do their duty

TO unfold his plan. How he arrived AT
his conclusion is still mystery-it may
