q Of our most loveable of American
writers did this very thing. oliver
Wendell Holmes was born at Cam
bridge on August 20, 1909. the son Of
a minister. He was brought up in an
atmosphere of culture and learning
and no pains were spared in his edu-
cation. Unlike most of the great men
OF whom we hear Holmes did not
have to struggle to educate himself
He was sent to a university to study
law and then. not finding that study
to his taste, he studied medicine and
took his degree as a doctor OF medi-
cine when he was 27 years of age.
From his earliest days in college
Holmes wrote verses. which had from
time to time been published in a Bos-
ton paper. When he graduated. these
poems we're collected and many more
added to them and his first book was
published. Holmes poems are not
great, but they are pleasing and his
style Is so genial and hearty that

In such a surprised voice that Ellen

Il ought to have known you wouldn't
act like those rowdy boys who come
over here sometimes-theyre always
throwing things at me. Come on. let's
help father and then maybe he'll take
us fishing with him"
"Can you sit real still and hold a

AS Ellen and Bob wandered along
the beach in search OF just the right

on the mouth Of the creek. And there
they found lsllen's father digging bait
for fishing.

But no; you were in the study, sure

has no doubt won the way into your
heart with his many pretty and well
known verses. for the man who own
ed this queer collection of toys was no
other than Eugene Field, the poet
who wrote for children.
Field was born in st. Louis, Mo-, on

was always fond Of children and liked
to surround himself with things that
held appeal for his young friends. He
collected all kinds OF things; souvenirs
from many of his long journeys and
interesting gifts that had been pre-
sented to him by famous and distin-
guished persons. but he never passed
by a queer toy without adding It to
his valuable collection. Now. 1 guess
you are wondering why. II he did
collect these toys he should keep them
in his study where he naturally would
go to read and write and think. And
In asking this question you have al
most answered It for yourself. He
kept the toys in his study so that
