In the opening of the volume her Majesty has written an entertaining preface in which she calls attention to the fact that dolls have been favorite toys among the people of the world since the earliest times and that the child of the African savage and the youngsters that roll about the ice drifts of the far North take equal pleasure in the fondling and adornment of these wooden objects as does the most carefully nurtured heiress to England's most exalted peerage or as does the child of any reigning house in Europe.

He met Miss Barry there, and, after a year's courtship, married her. They went to Tokio on their wedding trip, and In a few months he was made private secretary to Minister Aoki. When Aoki went to Berlin Akabane returned so Washington, where Mrs. Akabane was a prominent figure and often noticed in the press accounts of the functions at the Japanese Legation. Afterwards they followed the Aokis to Berlin, where Mr.
