To every child, dolla aro children llko themselves Just as roal and far more Interesting than tho human beings surrounding them. To tho grown-ups It would bo hard to explain their attraction, Just a lingering attribute of child-' hood probably, -when tho Imaginary and," tho Idealistic assumes an Importance far beyond the practical. Wo can read nil our own thoughts and longings and aspirations Into tho personality of theso toyinnu inncies, anu so wo cling, to them In splto of tho passing years and tho shattered Illusions. la marvelous what an important part toys play in the schorao' of life.

You might be surprised to know tho number, of prominent stag folk who carry dolla around with them from ono town to another, relying Implicitly upon tholr powers as a mascot. Whether It bo tho fluffy ekirts of a roal "dolly doll" or tho quaint HtUo slip of numhlo rag baby, they, seem 'v. to hold a magic power In the minds off tho owners.
