Almost all children love dolls—bov* and giris alike—an lln their |4avt with them we sec the mother and father-love manifested, ami many phases of life re produced. So. nrat of all. on our ll*t of gr-l toys com#* dolls—nice, sensible dolls, with 'Truly** clothes that will button an-1 unbutton; not (he reversible horrors with two heads or "painted ladles,” with glued clothes. Older children have toy* that *otl*f\ their instinct for activity, an l bail*, top* kites, drums, trumpet*, hobby-horses ar* to pull, wagon* to draw, hoop** to roll, in short, anything wiih which thr proud owner, feeling htrmHf a cause “ton make thing* go.” For th* other type of chl.d.

M#< hani< al toys have a place of th*lr own In the -mall boy's heart, and simple ones that are easily kept In order, "man io-moblle*.“ a* one 3-year-old says, and steam car* that can run on their own tra.-ks. urn very g.iod. Musical toy*- when they arc musical, are welcome to rhe childish heart because of the Innate love of rhythm, which Is one of tha earl lest Instructive faculties to develop. All toys, if painted at all, should have •drone, bright, durable color, to satisfy ■ i. ii t child shar* wkh th#- primitive race*. We have not touched upon one very Im portant cl a of toys, ail thove that are miniature reproduction of some* useful ar ti-!e. such as tubs. Irons, stoves, etc. These appeal directly to the Instinct of imitation in the child, and much delight 1* felt by the small housewife In using her rolling pin to make "thimble biscuit," or in washing dolly's clothes. Blocks of all t*w!s are to be recommended, because (hey appeal to the constructive instinct. "Then I must understand," wavs the uninitiated, "that ail toys are good" For you have gone over the whole category wltn hearty commendations." No indeed. 1 have left ut quite a number of "prev alent" toy*, prevalent aa th* meatdea and quite a- dbeiinKif A toy unnon that explodes, and toy plstois that snap pow der into the eyes, all the easily tx-nl tin toy* with sharp . dges fo cut small linger, ail the gaudy French "chiffons.*' that come to piece* If one looks at lh> m: all the elaborate contrivances that tly apart and are destroy'd when little hands wish to Inquire tneo the true Inwardness of them! Oh how I would like to throw ell these into tne w and wave many punishment* given by thoughtless moth ers for "destructlvene**," when the in stinct of Investigation that prompted the growing mind behind tile busy lingers Is entirely over-looked. Whose fault t* tt, I ask. In all fairness. If a remarkable structure of pa;* r and tinsel resembling a house, with no visible openings.

Along with th'-e Impoaltlon- on the good nature of childhood, i would like to con sign to oblivion nil really Inartistic, ugly toys, and some of the funny ones tliat spulrm nnd wriggle ami Jump, when yon least expect It, and give nervous children food for bad dreams. Select your toy* with a view to a child's Imagination. Ho decs not like anythin* too-flnlshed. too perfect, for the reason that It does wot allow him any exercise for his creative faculties I owe heard a mother lamenting that her children took no plea-tire In an elaborate doll's bruise, or more correctly speaking mansion. w,th “all the modern Improvements ami fur nlsh< <1 In every particular even to the toy dishes with Imitation f <i on thent placed on tbe tallies."
