It may be that Brooklyn is the best place to begin. It was a woman's idea, and there is no reason why the experiment should not be financially successful. It would be better if large families lived in houses by themselves and ried couples without children had separate quarters. The two do not minglé well. People with children of their own are more tolerant of the dren of others, and childless couples would harmonize better with those thelr own kind. is getting to be that only the poor and the very rich can afford to have children. To people in moderate circumstances children mean a re- onstruction both of the details of their expenditures and the manner of living. It is only to those who have so much money that they do not Nave to pay attention to the items of their household expenditures, or to those families to whom children do not mean nurses, that the size of the i) family is not a matter of great economic importance. ine Se "The People’s Corner.

Q, Who mado you May Queen? A, My little boy and ‘girl friends who live in our neighborhood, Isn't my vell pretty, and my now white dress that my mamma eat up till way, way late to make for me? And my pap bought these white slippers as a surprise. Q, Where do you hold your court? A. In Central Park, and the flowers thore are beautiful, and the dear ttle squirrels are not afraid, but eit up and bug for peanuts, and there are aheep and little lambs, and there are beautiful big white birds that float on the lakes, that are called swans, and ft isn’t noisy and dirty like the streets are, and we run over the grass and play lovely games, and I am May Queen this year, and a lady stupped her carriage and gave me a great big bunch af blue violets, and-—— D Q. What do you think of making streets through the park and taking away the grass and trees? A, I would ory, because almost every nice Sun- day my papa and mamma take me to the park, and every Saturday the chil- dren have May partios. 1f thoy took away the park we couldu't have any May partios, could we? Q. You do not agree with Mr, Robert Roorevelt, then, that the park {s out of place in a great city like Now York? A. Mr. Roosevelt has no little girls and boyo, has he? Q But if the park ts abolished there will be lots of places to go, such as excursions, will there not? A. My pupa and mamma are afraid to let me go on exctrsions, Terrible accidents happen, but Central Park ie safe, No one can be hurt there, that {8 why we are let go there, sometimes just by ourselves. Q. You would not ike Central Park to be taken away from the children, then? A. No, sir, All during the long cold winter ihe children walt for the warm days to come so they can choose thelr Kings and Queens of May and the little Matds of Honor and Unele Sam and Columbia, and when the sum: mer does come at leet we are so happy getting ready the May pole, with ‘ts wreaths and rikbons and choosing who will be the Queen of our May party, and all the little girls and boys know thelr turn will come to be something important next year if they wore not chosen this, And that only starts the peautiful days in the park, We havo it all summer tntil it 1s time for school again. Q. Why do you ask that, when eo many Influential people want the part ” A, Because my father says Mr. Robert Roose- turno’ into broad driveways? yelt and the »ther rich men that want the park destroyed have beautiful 1s and boys; but for the whore they can take thetr little gir! eee aad thousands of poor little children in New York this is the only ey nase ‘they can go to.
