TO BABIES THE WORLD OVER-(Continued) LITTLE baby, tell me why, When I take you up you coo, you cry, Tell me, baby, tell me do.

LULLABY BABY dear, hurry to shut-y-eye land, Little gold trees in the silvery sand, Little blue birds you can hold in your hand, O baby dear, shut-y-eye land is so near, The little star-flowers are out in the sky, Sleepy things everywhere, O baby, go there! Go there! -AMÉLIE RIVES. (Princess Troubetzkoy.) SUPPOSED MEDITATIONS OF AN INFANT OF EIGHTEEN MONTHS CONCERNING GRAMERCY PARK GRAMERCY Park is pleasant And full of pleasant things, Children and birds and flowers I play out there in the morning I like to watch the fountain Where the birds go in and out. Oh, it's nice to be my father, But it's nicer to be a baby And play in Gramercy Park. -ALINE AND JOYCE KILMER.
