PROPHETIC!
A story written about 15 years ago by the Countess von Arnim tells that— A German mother brings her boy to take tea with the Countess's little girls, the "April, May, and June babies": The babies said, "Now we shall play." "1 never play .with little girls/' said the boy. The babies stared. "Why notP" they asked. "They're much too stupid. They can't b» soldiers when they grow up,,and can't fight. I'm going to be a soldier, and fight everybody, and kill them, tco."' And he marched up and down the room with his head tip and 1 his shoulders back, making lunges at the babies as be passed. "Quito a little man, yon see," whispered the delighted mamma on. the sofa.
