enumerate all Of which are selling for fen
cents each Any one who wants tn load q
Xmas tree with pretty gifts can do ~ by send
ing nm order to Mr.. Bailey. aud he will make
such a selection as will be sure TO plense.
When We come 10 think that ten dollars will
purchase a hundred nice toys and useful arti-
cles, We feel disposed to give our thousand
and one friends II souvineir apiece. A whole
volume Of music for instance can be had for n
few dollars. and there rs 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 a sample OF each article would be as
large as a hog-shed. We know this ware to be
good Tor we have bought "a lot Of il and It is
now being used. To sum up the whole matter
one would say TINT the collection now being dis
posed OF by Mr.. Bailey is especially adapted to
the present season. and Is being appreciated by
all who have seen it.
