WARNING RE TOYS
: Three things come not back 5 : again: the sped arrow, the j • spoken word, and the lost j j opportunity. ■
A correspondent signiug herself " Mother " has forwarded the following letter, warning other mothers of a possibly unsuspected danger to their little ones. I am deeply anxious to warn parents or guardians of the danger that lies in children being allowed to play with toy animals, etc., with glass eyes. The toys are beautifully made as a rule and the eyes are tlxe most realistic part, but these eyes are frequently attached to a long metal pin. with juat a touch of glut) to keep them in place. Eaby finds them attractive, tries to pull them, then sucks them; they loosen, and eventually come out and the mother will know no pence till they aro found. It is worth removing glass eyes and making sewn ones, for children will like these just as well, and precious young lives will not be put in jeopardy for the sake of appearance. —" Mother."
