The Business of Being a Child—
“Red-Strapped Overalls.”
by JOSEPHINE WEYMAN.
A man who, by the general world,
is accounted a successful man, onto
said to me: ‘‘I never had a chance
to play."
That statement was, in some way.
the most appealing, the most pathetic
remark that this man ever made in
mj hearing. Successful as ho is in
the business world, this man misses
(and the pity of it! knows that lie
misses) some of the joyous careless
comradeship which makes life sweet.
Others may somr -r-»s taste the
sugar icing o' lh" ake; for him, life
is merely 1 -a,. Ho misses the
thrill of mi 'Xpert'..1 nuts and
raisin- tie > a’ the hearty slap
on*' cule any Jol de vivre
v •' ,;e of those who
pir uen they were chil
. <*: he is grown, this
grown-up" to play. He
grown-up" for a long, long
e, it,d 1 am afraid now that he
t never know the utter joy and
■■ jxation to be found in playing
iBut he knows—'this man who "nev
er” had a chance to play"—he knows
that he has missed something, and
something infinitely precious for 1
heard him say not long ago in speak
ing of his infant son:
"The kid is going to have a pa:r
of red-strapped Overalls, and I'm go
ing to send him out every morning
to get his hands dirty! If he doesn't
find a mud-puddle or a sand-pile in
side of five minutes I wont' think
him worth very much!"
What an extraordinary remark,
some 'people might thing! Indeed!
sending a child deliberately out to
got liis hands all dirtied up!
But tho man’s wife turned to me
and said:
“You know my husband always
said that when he was a child they
kept him too dressed up to play:
Lord Fauntelroy suits, and Buster
Brown collars!”
The explanation was not necessary
for me, for 1 had never forgotten that
previous remark of his, “I never
had a chance to play," and to me this
man’s sand-pile and mu 1-puddle were
vividly real. I saw him. a pale lonely
child, wistfully watching other chll
dren burrow deep into the clean
white sand. I saw him standing far
off, so that no spatters might bespeak
tho Buster Brown collar, while other
boys joyously explored the wonders
which may Lie at the bottom of even
a c< mmon street puddle.
He had never been dressed for
.playing!
And a3 his body grew he. found
himself still more aloof from the
other boys he knew, still liioie lonely
than before. Growing out of Fauntel
roy suits is so much easier than
growing out of habits formed so
'young! Marbles would wear the
| knees out of his trousers, just as the
j mud-puddle had endangered the stiff
I white collars of a year or so be
fore! Always there was someth
to prevent his joining in the sports
of other children of his age.
j And suddenly he was Grown! A
, boy, six feet tall, who had never
known the Joys of marbles, football,;
swimming; a man who lacked thej
spirit of friendly cooperation, of j
ready judgment, of quick self-reliance i
which strengthens growing boys, for!
coming manhood. And he was lone
ly, just as he had been when but a
child.
He had been grown-up so long!
Ho had worn stiff white collars since
he was three years old, and he felt
nisly uncomfortable In flannel shirts
and old felt hats which are spiritual
delight to the ordinary man! He
had been an onlooker fot so many
years that he still feared the taunts
and mud-spattering of these men who
might have been his friends and com
rades; and while they admired his
business skill they felt uneasy doubt
t f the quality of his sportsmanship,
even in the line of business!
No wonder lie's going to put red
strapped overalls on his baby son!
But if he does, he makes a stranger
of his aon. unileaa, happily, he has
,'ne sense to get out in the sand-pile
ami learn to play with the youngsters,
which after all it Us What all fathers
| should do.
