Between the years 1100 and 1500, according to old pictures, the dress ot the young folks was very nearly the same as that ot other persons. Little girls dressed like their mothers, with long, cumbersome trnins to their dresses, stomachers trimmed with fur, a leathern or silken purse attached to their girdles. studded or impearled with little metallic buttons. and large ch-ignons on the tops of their heads. The hair was worn braided in two long plans. and r'oquettitrhly tied with partGcolored ribbons. When they went but cf doors, they wore a very wide cloak aver the upper part of the body, and a covering upon the head, which must have hado them look much like little nuns. The dress of the girls was a loose, short gown. worn over a longer robe, confined to the waist and having long, wide sleeve. Sometimes these sleeves were so long that they had to be tied up in knots, so as to avoid treading on them. The shoes were ot cloth or leather. open at the instep, and fastened with thongs. Among the gentry these thongs were adorned with gold and some. The bushins of Louis is Debon. aim. the son of Charlemagne, were of gold stuff; his tunic was interwoven with gold, and his belt was of silver. other santlalwise, as they are worn to this day by the people ot Abruzzl and the Apennlnes ,and in some parts of Russia and Spain. This harshness seems to have con- tinued to a late period, in English society, for Lady Jane Grey, wso was remarkable for her precociousness and scholarship, complained of the "nips and bobs and punches" administered by her parents, who could never be "tiitfityd by anything she did. Costumes Long Ago. The style of dress was simple. and did not vary greatly through several centuries. Boys wore a tunic, a gar- ment that descended about to the knee, and was fastened at the waist by a girdle of folded cloth ot the same material. The lower classes were nothing besides this tunic. but the gentry wore over it a short cloak or mantle, which was fastened on the shoulder by a brooch. They usually went barehetuitsd, but sometimes they put on a pointed hat or cap, shaped like a sugar-loaf. The trousers were tight to the leg, and were, in tact, long stockings, or hose, as they were called. I Over these stockings they some- times wore bands of cloth, linen or leather, commencing at the ankle, and terminating a. little below the knee, either in close calls, like the hay-bands at a modern hostler. or crossing each If our young folks could " back tire or six hundred yearn, they would and that the children ot those times dress- ed and behaved very dittsretttly from themselves. The higher civilization of the twentleth century has given ell classes of people advantages that even royalty did not pcssms In those old days. but no class has greater reason to la grateful for the changes that have occurred than the young people ot today. In trose times that we are going to spark of a child's life was rude and um-omfortable enough. Babies. as soon as they were born. were wrapped In swaddnug clothes, so that they looked like the Chrysalis ot the silk- worm. The cradle was a rude. cum- brous affair, usually made ot oak. and omen with no rockers. Very little was done tor children in those early days. They had no books ot any kind, excepting the hormbooh, a kind of tablet. from which they learned the alphabet. Few Anglo. Saxon or Norman children could read or write. Their learing consisted in psulm-singlng and reciting poetry. The principal rule for teaching was to tell a child to learn. and then subject him to a cevere beating it he did not. The huge ouken cradle in which King Henry V. of England was rocked when a baby is still in existence, care- fully preserved by descendants ot a personage who held the responsible office of rocker to this prince. It is wider at one end than at the other, and there are holes at the bottom for cordage to pass through. on which was supported the royal baby's Dada mattress of rushes, the best the land afforded.

It was like striking one enemy In front in battle, with an- othor enemy ready to strike you on the instant from behind. ln playing the game, the competit- ors mounted on horseback. and rode one after another under the target-end of the cross-bar, hurling their spears at It with all their force. The blow from the spear would knock the tar. get-end of the cross-bar away, and so bring round the other and with its heavy club to strike a blow on the horseman's head it he was not instant- At one end of this cross-bar there in fixed a square board tor a target. From the other end a heavy club is suspend. do. It consists of a stout post set In the ground. and rising ten or twelve feet above the surface. A strong bar is placed across the top, turning on a pivot, so that it will go round and round. They also learned to mount upon a horse, behind another person by leap- ing directly from the ground. But the most famous exercise ot all --or perhaps it should be called a game~was performed with the quin- taln. The quintaln was ot singular construction. There ls one still stand- mg on the green in Olfharn village, Kent, a southern county of England, and so we have a pretty good idea of how the plaything looked. One teat which they practiced was to climb up between two partition- walla, built pretty near together. by bracing their back: against one wall and working with their knees and hands against the other. Another teat was to climb up a lad- tliur. en the under side. by means of the hands alone. They put on heavy suits ot armor, and took lessons in springing upon a horse, in running races. and in strik- ing heavy blows In quick succession with a battle.ax or club, as it they were beating an enemy lying upon the gmund, ml trying to break his armor to pieces, and other similar things. As soon as the boys were old enough they were trained in the marital exer- cises and usages which were practiced in those days. The plaything was so constructed that the knight could be thrown back. ward and separated from his horse by a smart blow on the top ot his shield or the front of his helmet. With two ot these toys it was easy to represent two knights in deadly combat. They were placed some dhmnce trom each other, and then drawn sud- denly together. When the lance of one hit the figure of the opposite knight, ot course it overthrew It, and ended the mimic duel. many of the coronntlon of the ulurper [abort gown, made of two yards and threeqmrters of crimson cloth ot the some stun lined with green damask; a mantle made of two yards and a halt of purple velvet, bordered with er- mine; n stomacher and doublet made ot two yards of black satin. besides two foot-cloths. a bonnet of purple vel- vet, gilt spurs..anvd a chain of gold to be worn around the neck. Favorite Sports. The out-door amusements of the boys were boxing, running, wrestling, football. tilting at the ring and quin- taln. Toys familiar to us were t11red-- such as whop-torvs, balls. marbles, tshuttltreoeks and hears. One of the moat popular toys was called the 'ouatintrtov. It was a model of a mounted knight in full armor. with a lance manufactured of brass. The knight and his horse rested on a. stand with tour wheels, which ml drawn about by means of a cord at- tached to the trout. These tnys were, of course, very crude and coarse as compared with those of modern days. There are many crude pictures in ancient books illustrating these old games. In one they are playing ball; in another, battlwoor and tshuttle cock; in still another, the boys are playing with a hoop. Two ot them are holding the hoop up between them and tho third is preparing to jump through it head foremost.

In another, a party of ladies are represented din- ing at a table. A great deal of attention and care were paid by the gentry to their yards and gardens, and they were favorite places of resort to the ladies of the household. Whenever the weather was tair. they came out of the dark huts and cheerless castles, some to mount pal. frey and ride a-huwking in the broad meadow, others to dance and play chess In the shady gardens. It was no wonder that the poor girls and their mothers were glad to pass as much time as possible out ot doors. Nobles and princes lived in large castles, very stately on the outside, but cold and uncomfortable within. There were no carpets on the Mor, nothing but straw or rushea sprinkled over the stone pavements. But feeble light was admitted through the few windows, and the smoke trom the great fire-place ascended through a hole in the root, for there were no chimneys. The parlor or great hall was hung round with suite of armor, fierce-looking weapons, deers' antlers and grizzly-boars? heads. The "ter tive board" was literally boards. which were simply set upon trestles to form a table.

Life may not have been so dreary to them as we might suppose. but, surely none of the young folks ot to. day would care to go back and live with the children of the olden time. Our old-time children have now very nearly grown to be men and women. We have followed them trom infancy to years of maturity. Their dress. their amusements. their mode of liv- ing have passed in review before us, and we will now leave them-the boy perhaps a perfect knight, to tilt on tourneyiieldtt or tight stern battles in the warfare of lite; the girl a matron- ly woman sitting at her embroidery frame in her dark stone chamber, or riding forth in the sunshine to the beautiful meedows with her lord, to watch the falcon’s light or tHPS the red deer leap from covert to covert. an the medievni romances and manu- scripu, women are represented as nursing wounded knights. and prepar- ing with their own white hands the plaster: tor malned limbs and painful wounds.
