" ‘Swiand ae pean yrs ’ Be WET: THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1908. \. THIRD OF THE SERIES OF ARTICLES SPECIALLY WRITTEN BY THE “WOMAN ZANGWILL OF THE GHETTO” FOR THE EVENING WORLD. How the Dreaming Child Found a Fairy Palace in Two Rooms with Red Wall Paper—How Parents in Vain Tried to Rouse; Her with Glimpses of Play Life. HEROS an old courtyard in London called Black Lion's Yard. You can get into the little atreet, between black, heavy posts, either through Whitechapel road or through Old Montague street, Im one of the little houses there, low and built of red brick, lived about gizteen years ago a little girl of ten. The little girl had never seen the inside of a “fine” house, ea when the family moved from the wretched quarters in the Booth street buildings to this little red house in Black Lion's Court she felt that she had been taken out of @ hovel into a palace, Thre were two rooms, and large. And did not the room to the front have the most wonderful red and gold wallpaper— guch, paper as she had never seen in her life! Her mother and father had a long talk one day and decided to move this “palace,” hoping thereby to take some of the sad dreams out of their little girl's eyes. But they had lived there for over two months aud the eyes of their little one took on no new ight. True, the little child was filled with wonderment, but wonderment is not Joy, Tihe wallpaper, the glorious red and gold, was the only thing tho ehild ever noticed. She used to gaze at it much, because gazing at it made her dream more. In the evenings when the gas was lit, or, better still, when the only light in the room was the glow from the hearth fire, she could dream by virtue of that wallpaper of sunsets she had never seen, oe A mother's time, and there was rurely a chance to place the dreamy little curly head in mother's lap and tell some of the dreams of the great world’s wee taat strangely came Ferhaps that was why the paper on the wal! failed to give her joy, But the mother's heart ached.
