CHILD OF OLD ROME

Sentiment of Little Boy Blue
Seen in Burial of Dolls and
Their Tea Table.

Berlin, Jan. l.
The sentiment expressed by Eugene
Field in his poem Little Boy Blue" was
felt by the parents of little Roman girl
who died in the period of Tiberius 1850
years ago. Mute evidence OF this is
given by a touching little collection Of
articles from her tomb, which recently
has been acquired by the Berlin Museum
First the parents, who evidently were
people of means and education, had seen
to 1t that the child should have the zee
to pay to Charon, the ferryman. when 1t
came time for her to cross the River
styx, and so they had placed a coin Of
Tiberius into her little hand. Then her
favorite dolls had been placed in the
box with her Doubtless she had been
fond of playing at doll tea parties. for
there is a little table and toy silver
candlestick.
The dolls had been dressed and even
"rnade up" for there Is a little box OF
cosmetics with n picture OF Bacoha on
the cover. Perhaps the little girl had
got them all ready for party when
the tragedy came. Az any rate tho dolls
must have been highly treasured and II
Is believed that they descended to her
from another generation Also they
buried with her some gayly colored little
bricks, probably used as building blocks,
and a gold brooch Of the most delicate
filgree work and a gold bracelet. Nor
was her education forgotten, for they
had provided her with some tablets and
a stylus. And everything is in a splendid
state of preservation. almost as were the
TOYS of Little Boy Blue when he kissed
them and put them there"
