many. very many other things that we cannot
cnumerate all of which are selling for ten
cents each Any one who wants Ia load n
Xmas tree with pretty gifts can do ~ by send
ing an order to Mr.. Bailey. and he will make
such a selection as will be sure 10 please.
When we come to think that ten dollars will
purchase a hundred nice toys and useful arti-
cles, we feel disposed to give our thousand
and Que friends IA souvineir apiece. A whole
volume of music for instance can be had for a
few dollars, and there Is hardly anything that
could be asked for in the way OF little gifts
that cannot be procured. In dolls alone. one
could make happy a very large boarding school
full OF girls, and in tIn-ware, a package that
contained II sample OF each article would be as
large as a hog-sl,ed. We know this ware to be
good for we have bought a lot Of il and u ~
now being used. 70 sum up the whole matter
one would say that the collection now being dis
posed Of by Mr.. Bailey is especially adapted TO
the present season. and Is beng Appreciated Ivy
all who have seen it.
