Let Your Child Choose His
Musical Instrument.
At a regular meeting of a girl's
musical society out West a few weeks
ago, one of the members was asked to
give a talk upon the cultural advant-
ages of music in the home. There is
not space hers to report the whole
speech, but one of the chief points was
as follows' "1 think that every child
should be taught to, play something.
Not every child takes to a piano; yet '
might adore a harp, violin or wind in-
strument. And I believe that the
child should be allowed to choose. I
say this "from the heart," for I always
,,,loved the Piano best, and was forced
by a loving aunt to take mandolin les-
sons, I did not learn to play the man-
dolin because I did not like it, several
months and many dollars were wasted
because nay aunt imagined that she
could graft her tastes on my talents.
"Perhaps ninny parents think that.
their children are unmusical or lazy,
when they simply have not chosen
wisely. Wouldn't it be better to let
children get acquainted With music
through the player -piano and the
phonograph, let them realize how
beautiful the finished product cau be
to carry them through scales and fin-.
ger exercises? To be brought up with
beautiful music makes one want to
be part of it, to really dq, somatising
besidee just listen. I don't believe
that the practice hour would seem.
such a martyrdom It the child fully
realized and appreciated what he
Might attain."
Because She Came.
Because site sang, why others sang,
As hope, sweet hope up -sprung,
And hearts that heavy were with care,
Were sudden glad and young.
Because she smiled then ' others
'smiled,
And straight were dreary days
'All piled with sunshine, golden bright,
With flowers along the ways,
BecauSe she stayed a little space
And joyous were her years,
Those widoni slie loved can but rejoice
And Have no place for tears.

I. QUEEN VICTORIA'S
DOLLS
Her Majesty Queen Victoria. was
very much devoted to dolls, and in-
deed played with them until she was
nearly fourteen years old. Her favor-
ites were small dolls— small wooden
dolls, -which she could occupy herself
with dressing, and who had a house in
which they could be placed. None of
Her Majesty's children' cared for dolls
as she did; but they they had girl com-
panions, which she never had.
There is ample evidence that little
Victoria—or Alexandrine, as she wee
called when a child—lavished care and
attention upon her -dolls, and guard -
.ed them with Immense importance.
She kept what might be called
"dolls' archives.' These records are
to be found in an ordinary copy -book,
now a little yellow with years, on the
inside cover of which is wrirtten in a
childish, straggling, but determined
handwriting: "List of my dolls." Then
follows in delicate feminine writing
the name of the doll, by whom it was
dressed, and the character it repre-
sented, though this particular is some-
times omitted. When the doll repre-
sents an actress, the date and name of.
the ballet are also given, by means of
which one is enabled to determine the
dateof the dressing, which must have
been between 1831 and 1333, when the
dolls were packed away. Of the one_
hundred and thirty-two dolls pre-
served, the Queen herself dressed no
fewer than thirty-two, in a few of
I which she was helped by Baroness
Lehzen, a fact that is scrupulously re-
corded in the book; and they dese--^e
to be handed down to posterity a.' an
example of the patience and ingenuity
and exquisite handiwork of et twelve-
year -old princess.
The dolls are of the most unpromis-
ing material, and would be regarded
with scorn by the average child to -day.
But if the pleasures of imagination
mean anything, if planning and creat-
ing and achieving are in themselves
delightful to a child, and the cutting
out and making of "dolly's clothes,"
especially a charm to.a little girl only
second to nursing a live baby, then
there is no doubt that the princess ob-
itained many more hours of pure hap-
ipiness from her extensive wooden
family than It It had been launched
!upon her ready dressed by the most
I expensive of Parisian modists.Wheth-
er expensive dolls were not obtainable
at that period, or whether the Prin-
Cess. preferred these droll little wood-
en creatures, as more suitable for the
representation of historical andtheat-
rical personages, is not known, but
thewhole collection • is made up of
them, And they certainly make admir-
able
dminable little puppets, being articulated
at the knees, thighs, joints; elbows and
shoulders and available for every kind
of dramatis gesture and attitude, • It
must be admitted that they are not
,esthetically beautiful with their Dutch
doll—not Dutch --type of face, Oc-
casionally, owing to a 'chin being a lit-
tle more pointed or a nose a little
blunter, there is a slight variation of
expression; but with the exception of
height, which ranges from three inch.
ea to nine inches, they are precisely
the same. There is the queerest mix-
ture of infancy and matronliness in
their little wooden faces, due to the
oombinatiof of small, sharp noses and
bright vermilion nheeks, consisting of
a big dab of paint in one apot, with.
broad, placid brows, over which, neat-
ly parted on each temple, aro painted
elaborate, elderly, grayish curls, The
remainder of the hair is • dotal black,
and is relieved by a tiny yellow Comb
perched upon the back of the head.

are for the most part theatrical per-
sonages and court ladies, and included

by the youthful fashioner, A whole
group of dolls represents characters
in the ballet of "Kenilworth," which
was performed in 1831, at the famous
Kings Theatre. To this act, the Prin-
cess contributed two of the characters,
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and
Amy Robsart.
Amy Robsart, who played in the bal-
let by Mlle. Brocard, a very popular
dancer of the period, has a long, nar-
row riding habit of green satin, with a
short habit bodice of the same ma-
teriel trimmed with a narrow gold line
down the front, and coming to a point
at the waist. Her sleeves are tight,
and she wears a large broad -brimmed
black velvet hat of the "DI Vernon"
shape, with white curling feathers
falling an to ler forehead. This is one
of the most realistic of all the dolls,
and the dress was no doubt an exact
reproduction of the one worn by the
actress, Queen Elizabeth in this bal-
let (dressed by Baroness Lehzen) is
magnificently attired In a robe of gold
tinsel stuff with puffed sleeves and a
heavy girdle ot gold beads. Her long,
round train hanging from her shoulder
is made of the same material, trimmed
with ermine and lined with bright
crimson plush, as are also he- shoes.
Round her neck she wears pearls, and
a wonderful little crown of crimson
plush, with points of gold paper fes-
tooned with pearls, adorns the royal
head.
There are several little tables and
chairs covered with silk and chintz,
and some fascinating bead trinkets
and little crystal tea services of the
kind sold in boxes some years ago;
but which are very difficult to procure
nowadays. A word of mention must
be made of a small white satin cradle,
made from a cardbord box, containing
a set of twins, and of a numerous
variety of satin quilts, edged with
lace, and silk and satin cushions, no
doubt used for the drawing room
sofas.
