" ' 1 ' ' 1 AMERICAN toys for American children," is a slogan more often heard this year than before. Its first meaning is com mercial one. Director Eggers of the Art Institute, Chicago, goes deeper into the subject when he says: "Recently an educator was quoted as holding that the esthetic experi ence is unknown before the adoles cent period. The writer of these lines remembers certain quaint but tons of curious design and fascinat ing luster which in their day gave him a sensation identical with that which he has since known in the presence of certain thirteenth-century windows and before some of the paintings of Dias. That mem ory is vivid, and the identity of the sensation unmistakable yet the well-remembered buttons passed from his experience with the pass ing of a dress which he wore in the pre-bifurcated epoch 1 Is it not a fact that the spell of the esthetic is something which recalls the sense of completeness and security which our childhood feels oftener than any later time of life? Scientific asser tions concerning esthetic experi ences, are sometimes rnore descrip tive of the limitations of language Xt7 g(bl i - i ii'i3fwiyd Bwlli Good Eatin Mods lour Coum Get a Box Today .

"The Art alliance and the Art in stitute together are undertaking an exhibition of American toys. The specific purpose of this exhibtion is to recognize the making of toys aa an art an art in which the esthetic is a tangible element This element has been recognized in the toy mak ing of most of the European coun tries, but in the past it has not been conspicuous in our own. American industry, however, even in a few months has manifested an astonish ing growth of faith in the beauti ful, and it is believed that the time is ripe even now to give the manu facturer an opportunity to show his achievement or at least his effort in this particular direction. It is hoped that the proposed exhibtion may be one of a series emphasizing this new phase. "The prime conditions which will govern the committee in selecting the toys for the exhibition will be: (1) Beauty or fitness of form and color and (2) the true play-spirit with its stimulus to the imagination and to constructive thinking. To these ends the committee will be as sisted by well-known students of childhood as welt as by toy produc ers, and with these aims in view ex hibits are being invited not only from manufacturers, but from toy makers of every walk, including even children themselves. It is hoped by the exhibition to accomplish, then, a threefold service: A service to American industry by a recognition of its art element a leading-away from the ugly, the, ill-conceived and the perfunctory; a service to Amer ican art by the pointing out of a Still unfrequented pathway toward the ideal a new vehicle of expres sion, and a service to American children by showing to them, to their parents and to their great in dustrial Santa Claus that the finer thing is already, becoming available, and by the isolation of this finer thing to give added force to its pres ence in the markets."

Miss Kosie Quinn. whose dainty dancing at the Century Grove, New York, charmed Prince Aage of Den mark when he visited New York re cently so much so that a dispatch from London telline of the arrival of the prince and his impressions of New York, quotes him as saying: "Did you ever see a daintier leading chorus girl than Rosie Quinn at the Century Grover ihe prince dur ing his visit to New York attended the performance at the Century Grove, occupying a front row table. He played snowball with Miss Oumn, and had the honor ot being hit squarely between the eyes by a cotton "snowball" thrown by Miss Quinn in her snowball dance. Prince Aage retaliated by throwing the sj.me snowball back and hitting the petite dancer on her piquant nose. Music In Play. In their play children and grown ups have from the beginning of time made use of music lhe wise edu cator will see to it that the play spirit is utilized in developing a real knowledge and love of good music. borne excellent collections ot mo tion-songs have been "published both here and abroad which will delight the younger children. They will also greatly enjoy the "listening game." Let all close their eyes and see which one can distinguish and correctly name the largest number of sounds the wind in the leaves, the npplc of the brook, the distant note of a steam., whistle - or the crunching of dry snow underfoot. Teach the children to listen to the various bird-notes and to . whistle them or reproduce them on the piJ ano. These listening games can be almost endlessly varied and . win train boys and girls to pay heed to the great world of sound, to discrim inate and to rejoice in its beauty. For those somewhat older there is no more charming game than to see who can best express, in spontane ous dancing the mood of some piece of fine music. This is done in some schools of interpretative dancing, but it ought to be a daily source of enjoyment in every home. It it not necessary that parents should be musically accomplished in order to arouse their children's in terest in music. What could be more delightful than to gather around the player piano or phono graph and listen to the "Bird Catcher's Song" from the Magic Elute and then to have father tell the charming story of the opera, while mother shows a picture of Mo zart and later reads aloud the wonder-tale of his musical childhood. At parties or home gatherings the children will enjoy a memory con test. Various compositons will be played and the boys and girls will see who can name correctly the largest number of these and of their composers. , . Such gamei will train the child's ear, familiarize him with the best music and be an endless source of pleasure. pleasure. Music and Childhood. Norfolk Club. Norfolk vocalists will have a splendid opportunity to develop their voices when the plan of the music department of the Norfolk Woman's club to organize a community chorus is in full op eration. Mrs. E. B. Watson, head of that department, announces that it ,has been definitely decided to .or ganize such a chorus and that prac tice will begin after the first of the year. Prof. J. J. Coleman, head of the musical department of the Wayne state normal school has agreed to come to Norfolk frequently to direct the singing and the local leaders plan to hold weekly meetings with the idea of eventually putting on a sacred cantata.

Everyone who at tends will receive a present, ' Rewards of Half Hours Spent In Good Reading What I do venture to press upon you is, that it requires no preterhu man force ol will in any young man or woman unless household cir cumstances are more than usually vexatious and unfavorable to get at least half an hour out of a solid busy day for good and disinterested read ing. Some will say that this is too much to expect, and the first persons to say it, I venture to predict, will be those who waste their time most. At any rate, if I cannot get half an hour, I will be content with a quar ter. , Now, in half an. hour I fancy you can read IS or 20 pages of Burke, or you can read one of Wordsworth's masterpieces say the lines on Tintern; or, say, one third if a scholar, in the original, and if not, in a translation of a book of the Iliad or the Aeneid. I do not thinlc- that I am filling the half-hour too full. But try for your selves what you can read in half an hour. Then multiply the half-hour by 365, and consider what treasures you might have laid by at the end of the year. Lord Morley. , Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX , Children. . Dear Miss Fairfax: We are two girls of 14 years of age. Would you be so kind as to answer the following questions: We like two boys here and do you think It proper for us to come home from ice skating with them? When you wear a boy's ring Is it a sign he likes you? Is it proper for us to go to dances with them or with our mothers? Should we wear our hair up or down? We have quite a lot and cannot let it hang loose. Should we allow a boy to put his arm around us? Thanking you in advance and hop- j Ing to see our letter In print, we remain, PETE AND JAKE. There is no particular harm In walking home from ice skating with 1 boy friends. You are decidedly too young to take them seriously. Con sider them school friends, neigh bors or anything you like, but sweet hearts. There is no special signfl cance to wearing a boy's ring It often causes trouble when the ring is lost. You are too young to go to dances with any one. Night is the time for rest and sleep for children who are growing. Wear your hair down, by all means. ' It Is very silly to allow boys to put their arms around you. Have more dignity. The Kiss a Uie Altar. We have a great many inquiries about the kiss at the altar. Is it necessary? Why do we do it? How was it started, etc.? Clip the fol lowing for your hope chest scrap book, so when the right time comes you will know just what to do: "Aw, can't they wait until they eet home?" is what many a little Dasre at his big sister's wedding has said at least to himself, when, at the conclusion of a ceremony, the happy man turned and kissed the bride. They kissed each other, of course, but it is he who turned. , No. little brother, they cannot wait It is part of the game. This is a survival of a custom of ancient times when It preceded by a longer time the ceremony which It now, ends. In the days when public betroth als or espousals were the general practice, many an aspiring suitor did not have the wherewithal to en dow his prospective bride with the ring which was supposed to con summate the ceremony. However, a kiss duly performed before wit nesses was considered sufficiently binding." Who will blame these ancestors of ours If they came without rings then, or having the ring, demanded m addition the alternative, until the official seal reverted back to na ture's own? ! And who will blame the modern bridegroom if for lack of a cere mony of betrothal he has clung to his privilege and transferred It to his wedding day? M. P. Here are some suggestions for your party: , Cup catcher can easily be made as You'vo tried the Rest Now buy tho Boot SCHULZE'S BUTTER-NUT BREAD "Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets" exciting as base ball. For it divide the company Into two bands and let each band appoint a catdher and a pitcher. Give the catcher of each band a tin cup with a handle. Cut circles of cardboard to serve as a basis for pitchers and catchers to stand on. The catchers bases should be laid on the carpet at the opposite side of the room from the pitchers' bases. Each pitcher has a certain number of grains such as corn ker nels or beans. With some small grains such as barley, or rice, the number In each pitcher's saucer or bag must be exactly the same as those In the other pitcher's recepta cle. When the signal Is given the pitchers begin to throw the grains one by on to their respective catch ers of their sides. The catcher who loses most of the grains thrown to him becomes the prisoner of the op ponent side. Two more pitchers and catchers are appointed, the others returning to the ranks, and this con tinues until the sides have no more men to appoint. That is, until everybody has been both pitcher and catcher In his turn. The side hav ing most prisoners wins the gam. Of course, you have all read of Wllhelm Tell and his famous feat with the apple. Here Is an exciting way to Imitate it without endanger ing the eyesight of any one of the group. Get a small board and drive a strong nail through it Turn It over and press an apple down on the nail, so as to hold the apple firmly. Put the boaVd with the ap ple on a table at the far end of the room. Now blindfold a player. In the blind man's hand put a stick shaped like an arrow. Or simply use a meat skewer sharpened at the point or an icepick. Turn the blind man around three times and send him to' thrust the arrow in the ap ple. Usually he will go laughably far from the mark and will try to jab the empty air with his weapon, causing much laughter among the onlookers. Let each one have a try as blind man. A stirring: game ' for the youner- sters could be based upon ' one of the greatest drawbacks to the colon ial scheme experienced by the first settlers at Plymouth, and might be called Indians in Ambush. For this game secure a dozen large corks used one will do for the purpose) and In each cork drill a hole. In the holes insert tops of chicken feathers. Stand , the feathered Indians In a group at one end ot the room, or of a large table, and see which paleface can overthrow the greatest number of them by rolling marbles in their direction with accurate aim. The prize should take the form of a card board tomahawk filled with ' candM Empty spools, the hollows nlleJ with tufts of feathers, could be uses for Indians If a heavy ball is pro viaea ror oowung tnem over. , Pop-Overs Marmalade Sauce.
