bered Easter. But the average man or woman
| found it rather difficult to discover anything

One of the searchers in vain was George G.
| Waldo, New York bank president, who is
| also engaged in a hunt for health. He espe-
cially was desirous of getting something to send
| to his little 3year-old son, but the supply of
toys in Hot Springs is exceedingly small-the
| place is dead In earnest-and juvenile frivolity
is not encouraged. But Mr.. Waldo is not easily
thwarted. Failing in the ordinary line, he took
| bold departure. The drug stores as has been
noted before. are the great glory of Hot
| Springs. Mr.. Waldo went into one of them,
and having bought two pounds of candy and a
| souvenir spoon, found he had reached the end
| of the string SO far as the shops resources in
the way of customary gifts went. Then he
| threw les convendnces to the winds and filled
up the box with two sponges, some
| soap and two or three bottles of perfume of

| articles of household use This singular pack

| the box, doubtless, created sensation in the
nursery when Easter dawned. The sender had
| the satisfaction of knowing that the greater
part Of the Easter offering would be strictly
| useful if the toilet articles did cost about 200
per cent more than they would have cost in
New York.
